Loom, US Patent No. X0001693
J. Thorp · United States, March 28, 1812
Patent · 7 pages
US patent X1693 for a power or treadle-driven loom, with three sheets of patent drawings (perspective, side, end and top views, lathe and reed) followed by the handwritten specification. The text describes a four-post frame, a swinging lathe, a treadle wheel with adjustable chains and pins that operate the treadles so various figures can be woven, and shuttle-box pieces that stop the loom if the shuttle misses the box. Part of the specification pages are illegible in the scan.
