INVENTIONS OF THE PAST.
Cosnuess Models Of the Patent Omcs
sAow what Progress Haa
been MAds.

The experience Of the patent Office
with It's hall OF models" throws an in.
teresting light upon the progress OF
American invention. For many years
the government required an applicant
for patent to submit a model of his
invention. IL the invention were a ma
chine, none of the three dimensions of
the model was to exceed IL inches. The
models were displayed in show cases on
the upper floor. This extensive collec.
tion of little engines, pumps and now
ing machines came to look somewhat
like a toy shop and to il hundreds OF
visitors were attracted, says Youths
Companion.
But so long ago as 1850 it became ev-
ident that the practice OF receiving
models must be discontinued. The
space they occupied was needed by the
office for its regular business. So the
models then on hand were sorted over,
and the most interesting ones were re-
tained. appropriately grouped, as q
patent office museum, They have since
been frequently sent, AZ n part OF the
governments exhibit, To great fairs
like that at Chicago in 1893.
The rest of the models are now kep,
on two floors Of a large storehouse ne az
the post office, which have been rented
for that purpose. The few visitors who
chance to stroll through that wilder
ness OF showcases are reminded of tn,
diverse channels in which American in
ventiyeness has sought an outlet.
1t 10 q singular fact that. to under
stand q machine, the patent Office ex
aminers prefer a mechanical drawing
toan actual model, so trained have the,
become in translating the convention
al marks Of diagra m into the physics
reality for which IL stands.
