A short 1868 Scientific American article describing a patented automatic feeder for the first breaker card in woolen manufacture. It explains how aprons, a picker roll, a fan and an adjustable throat plate deliver wool evenly to the card in place of hand feeding. Two engravings show a perspective view and a cross-section of the Bolette First Breaker Feeding Machine, which was sold by Harwood & Quincy of Boston.
