"For a mode of Manufacturing or Forming Hat Bodies of Wool, by Machinery; Levi Van Hosen, Norwalk, Fairfield county, Connecticut, June 19.
The general principle upon which this machine acts, is similar to that of several others which have been patented. The wool is taken from the doffer of a common carding machine, and wound upon cylinders with rounded ends, or upon cones, so as to form the bodies. The particular claim in this machine, is to the mode of vibrating the sheet of wool, as it winds upon the former, so as to cross the fibres, and cause them to felt well, and of forming from one to six bodies at the same time, according to the width of the carding machine."
