Ledger Blade: a stationary shearing blade in a machine for shearing the nap of cloth.
Spiral Blade: a rotating shearing blade in a machine for shearing the nap of cloth, c.f. a
lawnmower blade. Edwin Beard Budding who invented the lawnmower c 1830 got the
idea after seeing a woollen cloth shearing machine in one of the local mills near Stroud
in Gloucestershire (UK).
