On page 118 of my copy of "Lace Machines and Machine Laces" by Pat
Earnshaw (1986), there is a picture of this object, and it is identified
as "A twentieth-century Leavers machine carriage."

They are the "bobbins" used in lace machines - can't remember which of
the machines uses them, but not the Barmen machine, might be the
Raschelle (?sp). We were shown how they are threaded when we went to
the (now long gone) Lace Centre in Nottingham some years ago.
