The
"Krista" Wheel
An original Cooper Wheels design of
an accelerated upright spinning wheel, allowing either left or right flyer
placement
or both by adding an optional second flyer.
The accelerator head
system:
Both a 1:1, as well as an approx. 3:1 accelerator wheel are incorporated
into the standard configuration, with easy switching back and forth
between the two. This, to achieve the wide range of
ratios. (from 8:1 possible, up to 60:1 approx. possible)
The Krista wheel is
being replaced by the Emily wheel in 2018
Current revision level
of the Krista (2017 version) is Rev. 6.0
which incorporated wider treadle bars, and other enhancements
on past revisions of the Krista design.
Past revisions of the
Krista wheel were:
4.0 (2016)
3.1 and 3.2 (2015)
2.0 (2014)
Prototype version (2013)
