US Patent No. 141,017, granted July 22, 1873 to John Sault of South Manchester, Connecticut, for a machine that spreads waste silk fibers onto the feeding apron of a drawing machine. The specification describes cross-feeding aprons on a reciprocating frame that receive "books" of fiber and deliver them lengthwise onto the ordinary feed belts. Rods vibrated by a crank loosen the fiber as it is laid down. The patent includes a drawing sheet (side elevation and plan view) and two claims.
