A short Scientific American article describing a ripping attachment for sewing machines, patented by Maurice Talen and George H. Croft of Geneseo, Illinois. A rotating cutting disk, driven by friction pulleys from the machine's driving belt, is mounted on a sliding plate clamped to the machine table, and seams are ripped by presenting them to the disk's sharpened edge. An engraving shows the attachment and a detail view.
