US Patent No. 1,773,305, granted August 19, 1930 to Charles A. Fisher of Kannapolis, North Carolina (filed February 15, 1929), for an improved Jacquard loom cylinder. The cylinder is built from thin rectangular plates spaced along a shaft, so the needles enter the gaps rather than striking solid sides, and a damaged plate can be replaced without replacing the whole cylinder. The document has a drawing sheet with four figures, the specification describing the shaft, heads, pins for card tapes, spacing flanges and collars, and 17 claims.
