Bind (unit)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bind was a measure in the yarn production for linen yarns and corresponds to the bundle, i.e. a dependent subset of a strand . The measure was widespread in northern Germany , such as in the Duchy and so-called Hereditary Rule Jever , Duchy of Bremen and other different places in this region.

When the yarn was wound onto the counting reel , a regionally different number of so-called threads (North German also wire ) was tied or tied to form a bundle or tie (hence the name “bundle” or “bind”). A certain amount of bind eventually formed the finished strand of yarn. A thread was measured by one full turn ("turn over") of a reel. The thread length was therefore dependent on the circumference of the reel, which in turn was also determined by the material of the yarn to be measured.

Reel circumferences

  • Bockhorn (Friesland) :
    • Reel circumference = 2 Jeversche ells = 596.928 Paris lines = 1.347 meters
    • 1 bind = 120 threads = 161.56 meters
    • 1 piece of yarn = 10 ties = 2400 Jeversche yards = 2781.8 Oldenburg yards = 1615.86 meters
  • Duchy of Bremen:
    • Reel circumference = 4 1/12 Oldenburg cubits = 2.371879 meters
    • 1 bind = 2 knips = 120 threads
    • 1 piece of yarn = 10 binds = 4920 Oldenburg yards = 2846.25 meters
  • Jever inheritance:
    • Reel circumference = 2 Jeversche ells = 596.928 Paris lines = 1.347 meters
    • 1 bind = 2 knips = 120 threads
    • 1 piece of yarn = 10 ties = 2400 Jeversche yards = 2781.8 Oldenburg yards = 1615.86 meters
The wool yarn was calculated according to Roof
  • 1 Roof = 5 Bind = ½ piece (arithmetic deviation from the specification)
  • Wildeshausen:
    • Reel circumference = 3 ½ Wildeshauser cubits = 2.024 meters
    • 1 bind = 100 threads
    • 1 piece of yarn = 10 binds = 3500 Wildeshaus cubits = Bremen cubits = 3485 Oldenburg cubits = 2024.35 meters
  • Zwischenahn and Westerstede:
    • Reel circumference = Oldenburg reel and Lehrter reel
    • 1 piece of yarn = 120 threads = 2550 yards
According to the announcement of March 1823, only reels with a circumference of 2 ⅛ yards should be used in Zwischenahn , Westerstede and Wiefelstede and a tie should be expected to require 120 envelopes (wire).
  • Duchy of Oldenburg:
    • Reel circumference 2 ½ Oldenburg ells = 257 ½ Paris lines
    • 1 bind = 100 threads
    • 1 piece = 10 binds = 2500 Oldenburg cubits

Other reel sizes

  • Delmenhorst had five different reels with 1 Bremer yardstick = 256.4 Parisian lines = 578.4 millimeters (value 578.38712)
    • 1. Reel circumference = 2 ½ Bremen cubits
    • 2. Reel circumference = 3 cubits of Bremen
    • 3. Reel circumference = 3 ½ Bremen cubits
    • 4. Reel circumference = 3 ¾ Bremer yards (purchase reel)
      • 1 bind = 90 threads
      • 1 piece of yarn = 10 ties = 900 threads = 3375 Bremen cubits
    • 5. Reel circumference = 4 cubits of Bremen
  • Steinfeld (Oldenburg)
According to a publication on January 2, 1817, only the reel with 3 Vechta cubits was allowed to be used and calculations were made
  • 1 piece of yarn = 20 binds = 3000 threads
  • Saterland
    • Reel circumference = 2 1/9 Gröninger cubits
  • Friesoythe
    • Reel circumference = 4 Gröninger cubits
  • Barßel
    • Reel circumference = 1 ⅞ Gröninger cubits
  • Oyten
    • Reel circumference = 3 11/16 Vechta cubits
  • Goldenstedt and Visbek
    • Reel circumference = 3 ½ Hanoverian cubits
Was on 3 and 3 ½ cubit reels
  • 1 piece of yarn = 20 binds = 3000 threads
  • Damme and Neuenkirchen-Vörden
    • Reel circumference = 2 ½ Osnabrück cubits
  • Cloppenburg
    • Reel circumference 4 1/16 Cloppenburger ells
    • 1 piece of yarn = 18 binds = 1080 thread = 4387 ½ Cloppenburger ells
