Add to ORKGpayton head nA special type of head was used in many areas of Newfoundland which differed from the simple mechanism described [see 'head'] in which the spindle is connected directly to the large wheel. This special type of head was commonly known as a "jenny head", or a "payton head", and was probably a recent introduction in the Newfoundland spinning tradition. This head made spinning much easier, and therefore became quite common.G. M. Story JAN 1976 JH JAN 1976Not usedNot usedWithdraw
