Daedalus Magpie V2, Manual

Page: 19 / 28

The following RPM (rotation per
minute) stats were recorded from
a typical Magpie V2 after a short
break-in period. Actual perfor-
mance figures vary among wheels
due to slight variations in compo-
nents and build. Please use this as
a general guideline.
Irish Tension
Irish tension provides a stronger
takeup, or pull-in, so if you want the
most takeup possible, perhaps for
a plying project, textured yarns, or
flawless singles, you may want to use
this option. With Irish tension, your
drive band goes on the bobbin, which
allows for two speed modes: a High
Speed (using the small drum) and a
Low Speed (the large drum). While
most people will only use High Speed,
the Low Speed provides much more
torque for heavy work. This is useful
in high take-up projects or heavy
plying.
