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.
"This is a peculiar kind of spindle, with its appendages, which appears to be principally designed for the spinning of hemp and flax. We have not, from the drawings and description, obtained a very clear idea of its mode of operation, nor could this be explained without engravings. When a model is received, it may obtain further notice."
