XIX/XX w. / Germiany (?)
The ropemaking reel (giszer – from German Seilgeschirr, twister) consists of a metal mechanism moved by a crank, driving cogwheels that transmit the drive to 4 hooks, and is mounted on an iron structure. The machine was purchased from a ropemaker running a workshop in Myslenice, who had previously bought it from a ropemaker in Bochnia.

The rope reel (giszer – from German Seilgeschirr, twister) consists of a metal mechanism moved by a crank, driving gears that transmit the drive to 4 hooks, and is set on a wooden structure. The machine comes from a ropemaker workshop in Bochnia run by Boleslaw Kosturkiewicz.

A rope wheel – from a large flywheel moved by a crank, the drive by means of a string is transferred to spindles with hooks (three or more – in a fan-shaped arrangement).
1857 / Poland
The reel is driven by a crank, setting in motion cogwheels, connected to pegs to which a twisted cord was attached. The cart (with two wheels at the front) also has a crank, embedded in the structure, terminating in the front with an iron hook. Both machines are engraved with the date “1857” and “X”.
1877 / Spisz, Poland
The reel is driven by a crank, setting in motion gears, connected to pegs to which the twisted cord was attached.

The rope wheel consisted of a large flywheel moved by a crank, the drive by means of a belt or cord was transferred to 4 rollers with hooks. It was possible to adjust the height of the upper part, in which the rollers (not preserved) were fixed, achieving the appropriate tension of the belt (also not preserved). The machine used a large wagon wheel with an iron rim.
XIX/XX w. / Germiany (?)
A rope reel (gisher – from German Seilgeschirr, twister) consists of a metal mechanism moved by a metal wheel with an attached handle (replacing the crank), driving gears that transmit the drive to 4 hooks. The iron mechanism is set on a wooden structure.
