NJANNY'S COMBINED REAPER AND NOW
wi ER.-CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC
WAsHlxGToS, Oct. ., 1858 WALLER A. WooD,
ESQ, HoosICK FALLS, n. Y, DEAR SIR:-lou
ask my opinion on the following points, viz:
Ist Whether the Nanny Patents cover any
Reaping Machine having fencc-board at the end
of the platform next the main frame and gearing
for the grain to bu pushed against by forker for
whom a stand il placed sufficiently the Oppo-
site end of the platform to enable him convenient
~ to push the grain along the platform against
the wing board, to gather 1t into compact bun
die and then slide it of cndwise and drop it on the
ground ut or near the outside of the swath aud out
OF the way of the horses when when they return to
cut the next swath!
ID Whether if the Nanny Patents cover such
mn arrangement, there IL aRv remedy against those
who, without lawful authority under the sad Pa
tents, persist in using the same 10 the dctriment
of those who have purchased and paid for the said
Patents.
To the first question, | reply that the Patent
granted TO John II. NANNY for fourteen years from
the l5th of June, 1871, and re-issued March 9th,
1913. claims the combination Of the fence to com
press the grain against at the outer end OF the ma
chine and guide il while sliding oil the platform,
and the position, stand seat Tor the iOrker at the
inner end Of the platform, substantially III said
Patent .et forth-thc end designated n the "outer
end" being that at which the main frame and gear
ing are located, and that designated As the Inner
end" being that the diyider side ot the machine.
This position OF the rakcr iOrker, n described
III the specification and shown III the drawings, Il
directly in OF point about one third OF the
length of the Cutter from it, end opposite To the
crank.
There can he no doubt that such machine as
YOU describe in your enquiry would be direct m
tringement OF the above mentioned Patent.
To your second enquiry, reply that you have
ample remedy against all who make, sell or use
machines embracing such Improvement within the
territory for which you hold an assignment Of the
NANNY Patents, by suit in the United States Cir
cult Court: and the Court will decree the payment
of Whatever damages you may sustain by such III
/ Engagements and enjoin the defendants from con
tnuance OF III. further sale or use of the ntring-
ing machines. l"ars, very respectfully,
+. II. WATSON.
