I believe a stack of cds are stored on a spindle.

Sad that it’s necessary, but very comprehensive.

It always baffled me that anyone thought that it was likely that someone would punch a ragged hole in a punch card and think it wouldn’t matter :)

Back on topic-ish for a moment, my main disappointment about this post is that I didn’t manage to use the phrase “including any natural, or non-natural, person” :)

Spindle (stationery)

A spindle (or colloquially, a spike) is an upright spike used to hold papers waiting for processing. “Spindling” or “spiking” was the act of spearing a paper document onto the spike.

Since when was a spike a spindle? My theory was that it meant rolling the document into a tube. But either way it’s a very odd word. (One of my childhood mysteries, when I used to order paperback books by post from England, and they would arrive with this strange message prominently displayed).

And (rhetorically reminiscing here for a moment if I may) what is “spindled” anyway? I never did get the whole “spindled” thing.

Isn’t it sticking a document on a spike?
