Subject: spender, tenting, piece ends textile
Это про ткацкую фабрику начала века.
I had to clean under four looms before they started up, and you got sixpence extra for that, what they called your ("spender"). But it meant getting there early, and y'd walk it in all weathers. You got put wi' a woman as 'd learn you (how to piece ends, that were called tentin'), but if you were slow she'd rap your legs

помогите, пожалуйста. Меня интересует то, что в скобках (остальное для контекста).
Заранее спасибо.
