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 Thrashing Wheat and other small Grain; James S. Wood, Pattensberg, Battetort County, Virginia, September 10.
The cylinder which carries the flails, or beaters, in this thrashing machine, is constructed in a manner very similar to that of many others, the beaters extending from one head of the cylinder to the other; but they are not attached to the circular heads, being fixed on springs, fastened to the centre of the shaft. The floor upon which the grain is to be placed, stands also on springs, although, it is stated, that the machine will answer perfectly well if either part is so fixed, the other being permanent, or stationary. The claim is to this fixing upon springs, which is accounted the distinguishing feature of the instrument.”
