stone on the face is scored finely three inches from the eye, and the remainder
is peck'd out. The bed-stone A has a regulating screw pivot B, which runs

page_text: into a socket bridge; the crank D is fix'd to work it, which runs thro' cross
barr E at the top of the frame F, F, F, F, and thereon is fixed a horizontal
fly wheel G, to increase its power. The mill in this state is placed in a frame
three feet square and six feet high, the stones rest on cross bearers in the
frame two feet from the ground. A tub or drawer is placed underneath

scattering. The same mill H, on a more simple construction, without a frame,
crank, or fly wheel, is worked by the pin I, about twelve inches in length,
placed in the upper stone near the edge. These mills may be fed by the hand,
or from an hopper placed in the eye of the upper stone.

Britain and Ireland, bearing date at Westminster, the Twenty-eighth day of
February, in the forty-third year of His reign, give and grant unto me, the

ment in the Manufacture of Bagging for Packing of Nails and other Purposes,
is described and ascertained in manner following, that is to say:-

page_text: I take for my warp hards or tow prepared in the usual way, such as are at
present used in making nail bagging; but for my weft or woof I take old ropes
or junk of any dimensions, and after untwisting or dividing the threads or
fillaments thereof, I wind the same into bobbins or quils, and they then become
fit for the shuttle, and I weave them along with the common warp in the com-
mon way. I do not confine my Invention to bagging for nails, but the same
may be used with advantage for bagging for coals, cokes, and for various
other purposes where strength and durability are required, needless to be
mentioned here.
In witness whereof, I, the said Benjamin Haden, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Nineteenth day of March, in the year of Our
