- Description
- Doubling and Twisting Thread Machine Patent Model
- Patent No. 352, issued August 15, 1837
- John Golding, Dedham, Massachusetts
- In his patent specification, Golding noted that the frame of the doubling and twisting machine was to be constructed like any of the “modern” frames. It would have gears, and an eccentric, or heart, motion to guide the thread on the spool. His patent claim concerned the arrangement of the machinery that prevented wasting the thread if it broke. This was accomplished by stopping the spindle and raising the feeding-down roller.
