London. N. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This machine is provided with an endless chain hanging on a thin blade the width
of each link or a little less, the thin blade is preferably attached to the projecting axle
of a measuring drum. The goods to be measured pass round the measuring drum
every rotation of which is noted by two links of the endless chain passing over the
thin blade. On each side, of the thin blade there can be if needed a projection which
will fit into each link (coming up and going down) to keep the endless chain from
slipping more than one link, at the time. The links of the endless chain will be
marked in yards or as required. To be used with my patent No. 5605 A.D. 1888.

page_text: I BENJAMIN ROBERT BOND Draper of 21 Junction Road Upper Holloway
London, N. do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This apparatus which is specially adapted for shopmen is provided with an open
box Fig. A. which is placed on the floor in front of a counter, one side B. of the box
slopes ontwards, one end C. of the box, which is attached to a sliding board D. at the
bottom can be adjusted to suit any width fabric. The cloth to be unboarded is placed
in the box Fig. A. and as the cloth is being measured the boarded cloth rotates and
falls on the sloping side B. of the box Fig. A., the end of the cloth is then passed
through my patent No. 5605 A.D). 1888 and over an oblong box Fig. E. adjusted to
my patent No. 5605 A.D. 1888, the oblong box Fig: E. is used as a measuring drum,
on the projecting axle of which the measuring apparatus is preferably attached. The
boxes A. and E. are for use only in combination with the measuring apparatus which
is provided with an endless chain hanging on a thin blade S. Fig. H. (or two or more
pins Figs. K. and M. used as a thin blade), the width of each link or a little less, the
thin blade S. is preferably attached to the projecting axle of the measuring drum.
The goods to be measured pass round the measuring drum every rotation of which is
noted by two links of the endless chain passing over the thin blade S. or pins Fig. K.
and M., on each side of the thin blade S. there can be if needed a projection which
will fit into each link (coming up and going down) to keep the endless chain from
slipping more than one link at the time.
Fig. 1. I call a three sided blade, fig. 3. three pins used as a three sided blade taking
three links of the endless chain (instead of two as in the thin blade S.) for one
rotation of the axle to which it is attached.
Fig. 2. I call a four sided blade fig. 4. four pins used as a four sided blade taking
four links of the endless chain (instead of two as in the thin blade S.) for one
rotation of the axle to which it is attached.
Any number of sides to what I shall call the blade can be used, the number of
links for every rotation of the axle to which the blade is attached will be equal to the
number of sides on the blade.
The links of the endless chain will be marked in yards or as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my, said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
1. The measuring apparatus which is provided with an endless chain hanging on
a thin blade, with or without projections on each side a three sided blade; a four
sided blade; two or more pins used in the same manner as the thin blade; three

page_text: pins used in the same manner as the three sided blade; four pins used in the same
manner as the four sided blade, and any number of sides to what I call the blade
(or pins used as a blade) which the endless chain hangs on.
2. The unboarding apparatus, (for use only in combination with the measuring
apparatus) which is provided with an open box, one side of which slopes outwards,
and one end adjustable.

3. The oblong box used as a measuring drum, for use only in combination with the
measuring apparatus.
