US Patent 3,955,602 (Robert W. King, assigned to Avco Corporation, granted 11 May 1976) describes a loom-like apparatus that uses needles to weave filaments along the X and Y axes into a bundle of Z-axis filaments, producing a three-dimensional woven block. The structure is held together by inter-yarn friction, compressed, then impregnated with resin or another matrix and cured into a billet that can be machined. The document includes a web-printed copy of the patent record, the original patent drawing sheets (8 figures, including a cylindrical variant), and the typeset specification and claim.
