Mule cops
- Made:
- around 1960



Cops of spun cotton yarn made on a spinning mule, around 1960.
The spinning mule twisted cotton into yarn, then wound it into cones called cops. By the 1920s, engineers had improved the spinning mule so that one machine could spin up to 1300 cops at the same time.
