CSD FLOOR SPINNER Several years ago I sent a table model CSD Spinner to a friend working in a Near East country. It was a table model which is clamped to a table and the operator sits on a chair. The people did not have tables and chairs in the country in which she was working so it was not appropriate. Neither was the Standard CSD Floor model because the Spinner sits on the floor but the operator sits on a chair.   In response to this situation the CSD Spinner had been modified into the "On-Floor CSD Spinner" so the Spinner and the operator both sit on the floor. I am not at all sure there is a demand for Spinning Wheels in developing countries but I do know that there are a great many people in developing countries who still do hand spinning. Some of them use drop spindles but very few use a spinning wheel. Spinning wheels are assumed to be faster and to produce better quality yarn since both hands are free to form the yarn. In most developing countries these features are not desired and, therefor, not appropriate. They are important In micro industry factories where people are hired to spin on equipment owned by the company. The advantage of the CSD Spinner is the low cost and the ease with which it can be reproduced in developing countries. We sometimes refer the CSD Spinner as a "Ten Dollar Spinner" because, in the US, that is what it costs to buy the material. I would be happy to hear from anyone who reads this to give me their thoughts on the subject of the use of spinning wheels in developing countries.
