1883.
JOHN BAXTER and WILLIAM GOULD both of the City of Bristol, "SIMUL-
TANEOUSLY MAKING UP AND SECURING TOGETHER THE BODIES AND LININGS FOR
THE BODIES OF TROUSERS,"
This invention consists in simultaneously making up and sewing together the
bodies of trousers and linings for the bodies.
The edges of the materials to form the bodies are placed evenly with the edges
of the materials to form the linings of the bodies, and both linings and trousers
are then secured together in one seam at the desired places.

the said John Baxter and William Gould in the Patent Office on the
21st March 1884.
JOHN BAXTER and WILLIAM GOULD, both of the City of Bristol, SIMUL-
TANEOUSLY MAKING UP AND SECURING TOGETHER THE BODIES AND LININGS FOR
THE BODIES OF TROUSERS
This invention consists in simultaneously making up and sewing together the
bodies of trousers and linings for the bodies. The materials to form the bodies
are placed below the materials to form the linings of the bodies, and both linings
and bodies or outsides are then secured together in one seam at the desired places
in the garment.
And in order that our said invention may be properly understood, we now
proceed more particularly to describe the same with reference to the accompanying
drawing which illustrates the application of our invention to a pair of trousers of
the type known as "whole-fall” trousers.
The bearer A is shown extended, and the fall B, formed to be buttoned to the
bearer, lowered. Upon the moleskin, corduroy or other material a, forming the
body or outside of the garment, is placed the linen, calico or other material b forming
the lining of the body. Both are made up and sewn together in one seam at the
desired places in the garment. The dotted lines represent the position of the
seams at which the outsides and linings are made up and united in the garment
shown on the drawing.
The arrangement of the seams may be varied as desired. Trousers of the
"half-fall" and "fly-front" or other types may be similarly made up with their
linings.
Under the method of tailoring constituting this invention, the operations, hitherto
separately performed, of making up the bodies or outsides of trousers, making up
the linings for the bodies, and of securing the bodies and linings of the bodies
together, are simultaneously performed, whereby labour is saved and economy in
production effected.
Having now described our said invention and the mode or manner in or under
which the same is or may be used or practically carried into effect, we claim, as the
invention secured to us by the hereinbefore in part recited Letters Patent,.—
Simultaneously making up and securing together the bodies and linings for the
bodies of trousers, substantially as herein before described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.
In witness whereof we, the said John Baxter and William Gould, have
hereunto set our hands and seals this nineteenth day of March in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty four
