Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
"We can give only the claim of the patentee, as the specification is of great length, and the drawings would occupy two or three plates.
What I claim as my discovery in said machine, is, the application of a belt, or band, of leather, or any other suitable material in the forming of a belt, or band, to be used for the twisting of cotton roping, whereby the counter twist is formed by passing the roping through between the two surfaces of a belt, or belts, or band, or bands of leather, or any other suitable material; said belt, or band, being in motion, and putting in the twist by the friction thereof."
" I also claim the application of said belt, or band, for twisting wool roping, in the same manner as used in the cotton."
