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.
“The machinery for which a patent has been obtained under the above title, is very clearly described in the specification, and delineated in the drawings; but it would be in vain to attempt to make it understood in words only. What is claimed is plainly indicated in the specification, but does not stand alone; the following extracts, however, will show the object of the invention.
Our invention is easily added to any of the mule heads heretofore in common use, and being so added, the mule completes the spinning of the thread and building of the cop, requiring no mule spinner. When once so adjusted as to make the stretch, and return the thread, precisely as it is done by the best mule spinner in his happiest efforts, it will constantly repeat that operation with unerring certainty. And our improved mule is managed with as little trouble as the spinning frame, by girls only, who have little to do beside piecing the threads and changing the bobbins. The construction of our machinery is for making the cop, not on the naked spindle, but on a bobbin.”
