Drawbench
A long, strongly built bench used for drawing lengths of wire to a desired section. One end of the bench is fitted with a large capstan or wheel, and the other has supports to hold the drawplate. The wire to be drawn is threaded through the drawplate and clasped in the jaws of special draw pliers which are hooked to a strong leather belt. The other end of the belt is wrapped around the arbour of the wheel. As the wheel is turned the belt tightens and pulls the wire slowly, with great force, through the drawplate.
