Specification of William Sabatier's English patent of July 4, 1796, for keeping compressed cotton, tobacco, hemp, flax, hops, hay and similar goods from expanding after they leave the press. It explains the principle that pliable materials resist force along their length better than from the side, and describes a box press, end boards, iron links and bolts that hold the bale in shape. The text describes how to make a bale and refers to a plate showing the press and parts. It was printed in the Repertory of Arts and Manufactures, Vol. 8.
