...Spooler. The "two-spool" engine, now in fashion both in the U.S. and Britain, solves this problem by means of two compressors, each driven by its own turbine through concentric shafts. The first compressor, which spins comparatively slowly, compresses the air part way. Then the second compressor, spinning faster, takes over and crams the air into the combustion chambers at much higher pressure (up to twelve to one) than could be reached by a single compressor alone. The result is to increase the power of the engine and to reduce its fuel consumption per Ib. of thrust by as much...

To watch a Barker-Coleman spooler warper in a cotton mill, says he, is enough to make any artist feel it in himself. "Man has already accepted the power given him by the machine, this vicarious power that moves mountains, that flies beneath the sea and through the air, that transports him so swiftly from place...
