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 Planting, and Preparing Seeds for the same; Zebina Lane, Harrisburg, Lewis county, New York, September 21.
The specification of this patent is of considerable length, and describes the machine without reference to the drawing, and although evidently written with much care, is not, alone, very intelligible. The drawing is miserably executed; the details of the apparatus cannot therefore be understood without the devotion of more time than we can at present spare. At page 343, vol. 2 of the new series, a planting machine is described, which was invented by Messrs. Robbins, of Lewis County, in New York; and to us it appears that the machine now patented, is the child of the former; how near the resemblance may be, we are unable to state, for the reason already given.”
