US Patent No. 73,512 granted to Thomas Crossley of Bridgeport, Connecticut, for a process of treating woven jute, flax, or cotton fabrics before dyeing or printing. The cloth is woven plain, then treated in a bran and soda bath to remove tannin or gluten, an acid tin bath, and a chloride of lime bleach. This lets elaborate printed designs be applied to low-cost carpets without weakening the fibre. The patent text consists of the specification and one claim.
