The throstle frame was a spinning machine for cotton, wool, and other fibers, differing from a mule in having a continuous action, the processes of drawing, twisting, and winding being carried on simultaneously.[2] It derived its name from the "singing or humming which it occasioned,"[3] throstle being a dialect name for the song thrush.
