Description: |
| From the Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 8 1829 page 44, about this patent. "There are in this specification many parts named, which appear essential to the operation of the machine; but which are neither described or figured. Were we, therefore, to give the drawing and the whole specification, we apprehend that it would still be obscure; a general idea of what the machine is to do, may be obtained from the claim of the patentee, to wit: 'The application of the circular saw to saw hoops out of boards or planks; (and, also, an upright saw, may answer the same purpose;) also, the gang of saws for matching the staves; the hoop saw and bit, for boring and rounding the ear staves to pails; the concave jointer, that smooths and rounds the outside of the vessel; the convex jointer, that planes the inside of the vessel; and, also, the above described method of making the bottom of any kind of vessel, and heads of casks.'"A model of the machinery has not yet been delivered into the patent office, or we might be able to give a better account of the apparatus employed. This might benefit the public, but would be of no avail to the patentee, as the description must be made perfect, by means of the specification and drawings. Models are required for the sake of those who visit the office, to see what has been patented, but, however perfect they may be, they constitute no part of the description, or proof, of what has been patented." |
