US Patent No. 1,041, granted December 28, 1838 to Jonathan Dennis, Jr., of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, for a machine for reeling silk from cocoons. The machine is operated by foot treadle (or by steam or water power) and has a heated boiler with a strainer and partition, pointed wires that keep tangled cocoons away from the guide, and fluted revolving tubes that twist the fibers. It also has a traversing guide that lays the thread on a reel. Two sheets of drawings and the full specification with two claims are included.
