US Patent No. 1,871, granted November 26, 1840 to George Heritage of Chestertown, Maryland, for a machine that winds silk and other thread into skeins. It uses a reciprocating bar and a fixed bar, each with a row of pins, together with a reel to form the skeins. The patent drawing shows the machine combined with spinning and reeling apparatus, and the specification describes how silk is drawn from cocoons, twisted, double twisted and skeined, with a single claim covering the pin-bar skeining arrangement.
