The driving band is part of an (Large but transportable armament) artillery shell, a band of soft metal near the middle of the shell, typically made of copper or lead.
When the shell is fired the pressure of the propellant squeezes the metal into the rifling of the barrel, both providing for a seal as well as providing a driving surface to spin the shell.
One downside to the driving band is that it must be placed at the widest point on the shell, and also near the balance point.

The first improvement consisted in cutting a ring groove in the wharve, mounting the spindle horizontally in a frame, and passing a band from a large wheel round the wharve.
The spindle had affixed upon its outer end a wooden flyer, whose forked legs were far enough apart to enclose a doubleflanged spool, and at short intervals bent wires, known as the heck, were inserted in each leg for the purpose of guiding the thread evenly upon the spool.
This spool was loosely threaded upon the spindle and one of its flanges was grooved to take a driving band from the large wheel, hence the spindle and the spool were separately driven, but the former at a higher speed than the latter.
