Reissued U.S. Patent No. 96 (reissued December 2, 1836) for an improved temple for weaving cloth, invented by Peter Newell of Waterford, New York. The specification describes an iron frame with guides, sliding upper and lower jaws that hold the selvage, a spring-closed mechanism opened by the lathe striking a projection, and a slide that lets the jaws recede to protect the reed when the shuttle stops. It lists three claims and is accompanied by a patent drawing showing several views of the parts.
