US patent granted August 17, 1835 to Gamaliel Gay of Poughkeepsie, New York, for a machine that winds silk directly from cocoons onto spools or bobbins, skipping the usual reeling into skeins. The specification describes the machine's parts: a warm-water basin for the cocoons, guides, a fan for drying the thread, a vibrating lever and slide bar that lay the silk evenly, and drums that carry the spools. It includes a drawing with an elevation and a plan view, and closes with the claim to winding silk directly onto spools.
