What's the difference between spool and wire?

Spool


Definition:

  • (n.) A piece of cane or red with a knot at each end, or a hollow cylinder of wood with a ridge at each end, used to wind thread or yarn upon.
  • (v. t.) To wind on a spool or spools.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Three possible cases for the ejection process friction are considered: friction in the tail-part channel, that of DNA segments with each other in the whole globule volume (it is essential for the collective way of the globule decondensation with simultaneous movement of all the loops--the first type way), the globule friction with internal capsid surface (it is most essential for the decondensation by the way of the globule rotation as a whole "spool"--the second type way).

  • (18) When metacarpal epiphyseal cartilage (growth plates) ossifies with age, break joints on the distal end of the metacarpals fuse and the end of the bone then appears as a spool joint rather than as a break joint.
  • (19) In the streets and lifts of nearby office blocks, everyone seems to be carrying reels of old-fashioned tape recorder spools.

Wire


Definition:

  • (n.) A thread or slender rod of metal; a metallic substance formed to an even thread by being passed between grooved rollers, or drawn through holes in a plate of steel.
  • (n.) A telegraph wire or cable; hence, an electric telegraph; as, to send a message by wire.

  • (v. t.) To put upon a wire; as, to wire beads.
  • (v. t.) To snare by means of a wire or wires.
  • (v. t.) To send (a message) by telegraph.
  • (v. i.) To pass like a wire; to flow in a wirelike form, or in a tenuous stream.
  • (v. i.) To send a telegraphic message.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) They could go out and trade for a pitcher such as the New York Mets’ Bartolo Colón , an obvious choice despite his 41 years, but he would come with an $11m price tag for next season and have to pass through the waiver wires process first – considering the wily mood Billy Beane is in this year, the A’s could be the team that blocks such a move.
  • (2) The solution to these problems would seem either to reduce the time spent in rectangular wires or to change to a bracket with reduced torque, together with appropriate second order compensations in the archwire or the bracket.
