The term "Drop Spindle" is used in several wikipedia articles where it really means "Hand spindle" which is more inclusive and includes supported spindles. Ranvaig 06:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
The accompanying image is not a picture of a spindle, it is a spinning wheel. Spindles are typically small, hand-held devices resembling a child's top. (Spinning wheels do have an attached spindle, but it is very small compared to the wheel itself.) See [1] for examples. -- samwyse, 70.130.133.221 08:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
