US patent specification and drawing for George Heritage of Chestertown, Maryland, describing an improved silk reeling machine. The basins holding the cocoons and warm water are rotated on spindles so the silk fibers twist together as they unwind, producing a round thread instead of a flat raw silk thread. The text covers the basin design with partitions, the reel and band-wheel drive, and the single claim; the drawing shows the machine in perspective and one basin enlarged.
