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 Washing Machine; George A. Stocking, Aurelius, Cayuga county, New York, September 10.
This machine is very imperfectly described in the specification, and very miserably represented in the drawing; no part of it is claimed as new, and we are, therefore, to take it for granted that the whole is original.
A wooden cylinder, the periphery of which is formed of rollers, is to be turned by a crank; below the cylinder is a spring board, furnished with rollers, and by turning the crank backwards and forwards, the clothes are made to traverse between the roller and the spring board.”
Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 9, Dec. 1829 pgs. 403-404
