The reel is driven by a crank, setting in motion gears, connected to pegs to which the twisted cord was attached. The cart (with two wheels at the front) also has a crank, embedded in the structure, with the drive translated into a peg to which the string was attached. The reel has an engraved date „YEAR R. 1877. P.” There are decorations on both machines: geometric ornaments and grooves. The machines come from the vicinity of Niedzica in Spisz. Some missing parts have been completed.
