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.
“For a Machine for Washing Clothes; William E. Arnold, Hadam, Middlesex county, Connecticut, August 3.
This machine consists of an oblong trough to hold the suds and clothes and is furnished with the means of squeezing the latter between a piece of timber, which is made to slide backwards and forwards in the middle of the trough, and two other pieces standing near to each end of it. If there is anything new in it, the inventor has left the discovery of it to the ingenuity of others, as there is not any claim either to the whole, or to any particular part.”
Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 8, Nov. 1829 pgs. 328-329
