Description: |
Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the December 1836 fire. Only about 2000 of the almost 10000 documents were recovered. This patent's drawing and specification are lost, which is unfortunate because this appears to be the earliest US patent for slitting (as opposed to sawing) veneers. The earlier patents X4,372 and X4,484 mention slitting wood but their titles do not mention veneers, and in the absence of other information we have to assume that they did not contemplate the slitting of veneers. |
