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 an improvement in the Plough; Thomas Brown, New York, September 11.
The specification begins by saying that "The plough is entirely of iron, and so constructed and put together, as to render it the most easily managed, the most durable, and the cheapest article of the kind ever offered to the public." So far, so good. We however find nothing in the description tending to confirm this enunciation of qualities, as it appears to be like most other ploughs, only that it is made entirely of iron, with the exception of wooden handles, for the comfort of the ploughman in cold weather. The different parts, we are informed, may be made either of cast or malleable iron. We some time since published, with remarks, some account of a plough entirely of iron.
As the patentee claims nothing, his right is hardly matter for disputation.”
