page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, wc, SAMUEL
CALDWELL, of Hathern, in the County of Leicester, Framesmith, and JOHN
HEATHCOTE, late of the Town and County of Nottingham, but now of Hathern
aforesaid, Frame-setter-up, send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third did, by
His Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at
Westminster, the Seventeenth day of October, in the forty-fourth year of His
reign, give and grant unto us, the said Samuel Caldwell and John Heathcote,
our executors, administrators, and assigns, His especial licence, full power and
authority, that we, the said Samuel Caldwell and John Heathcote, our
executors, administrators, and assigns, should and lawfully might, during the
term of years therein mentioned, make, use, exercisc, and vend, within
England and Wales and the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, our Invention of
"SOME NEW MACHINERY AND APPARATUS TO BE ATTACHED OR ANNEXED TO CERTAIN
FRAMES OR MACHINES CALLED OR KNOWN BY THE NAME OF WARP FRAMES, WHEREBY
THESE FRAMES WILL WORK, MAKE, OR MANUFACTURE ALL KINDS OF THREAD LACE;"
in which said Letters Patent there is contained a proviso obliging us, the said
Samuel Caldwell and John Heathcote, or one of us, to cause a particular
description of the nature of our said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, by an instrument in writing under our hands and seals, or
under the hands and seals of one of us, to be enrolled in His Majesty's High
Court of Chancery within one calendar month from the date of the said
Letters Patent, otherwise the said Letters Patent to be void, as by the said
Letters Patent, relation being thereunto bad, will more fully and at large appear.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
John Heathcote, do hereby declare that our said Invention is described by the
Plans, Drawings, and Table of Dimensions hereunto annexed, and in manner
following, that is to say :-
A quantity of flannel, or any other soft, spongy, or elastic material, is to be a
applied round a roller or beam of any warp frame or machine, upon which the
thread is intended to be put. Having applied a sufficient quantity (of which
we judge by the softness of the same and the strength of the thread, observing
that it cannot be made too soft, as it gives the thread an artificial elasticity
and prevents it's breaking), we begin to wind the thread upon it as lightly as
possible, that we may preserve the elasticity of the flannel or other spongy or
elastic material. Having wound on until we preceive the flannel, or other
spongy or elastic material, to become considerably harder by the pressure of
the thread which accumulates upon it, we apply another layer of the flannel,
or other spongy or elastic material, and wind on again, repeating the same as
often as we find it necessary.
Another part of our Invention is in the needles. In warp frames of all
descriptions, and for working all sorts of materials, it is usual to have the
needles opener or the beards laid higher from the needle than in other frames,
so that for working thread we find it necessary not only to have the beards
higher, but the heads in a different form, that is to say, more square in the
turn of the head, whereby knots are freely admitted, and pass through, instead
of being frequently stopped and the threads generally broken.
As the double-barred machine to a horizontal warp frame is not in public use,
we shall here lay down a plan of the said double-barred machine, in order that
any person who understands a warp or vandyke frame may be able to understand
how we apply our additional machinery. A is the bottom bar of the warp machine.
B is the bottom cross bar, projecting forward two or three inches, screwed
under the bottom bar A, at each end; to this are fixed the handles, as they were
'to the bottom bar of the old machine. C are two standards, one at each end,
screwed upon the bar A. D are two axle receivers, let in the upright part of
the standards C. E is the second or top bar of the old machine, but the
middle bar of this continuing in its former position. F is the top bar, the
axles of which are fixed in the axle receivers D. G is the half cross bar, fixed
to the left end of the middle bar E, projecting forward over the bottom cross
bar B as far as the left handle, where it ends with a handle projecting forward
over the left handle, fixed to the bar B. H is the half cross bar, fixed to the
right end of the top bar F, projecting forward over the bar B as far as the
right handle, where it ends with a handle, projecting forward over the right

page_text: handle, fixed to the bar B. By bearing upon this handle, we raise the top
guides so high as to permit the bottom guides to cross under them where we
fix the stop I, that is to say, a screw through the half cross bar II, the point
of which bears on the bar B, and thereby prevents it from raising the guides
higher than necessary. K is the conductor receiver, screwed to the half cross
bar H, having a deep notch to receive the conductor. L is the conductor,
screwed to the bar B, with a screw through the top in a perpendicular
direction, which screw is fitted to the receiver K, and slanted off. At the
point M is another stop, screwed to the bar B, with a screw through the top
in such a direction as, when the bar H rises to a proper height, it stops against
the point of the screw in M. In the bars G and H are fixed the bits N,
which bits project forward about an inch. To the bar B are fixed the double
stops O. Through cach upright tab is fixed a screw, which screw is fixed
right to stop the bits N. To the bar B is fixed the spring P, screwed to the
bar B, near the left handle. The other end passes under the bar H, which
bears the same up to the stop M. The ratch spring Q is continued the same
as in the common machine, except having only one notch, which notch is
slanted, so that the bar E will move two needles each way from the bottom of
the notch without rising out of the notch, so that when you let the bar G
(which is connected with the bar E) go, the spring will carry it back to the
bottom of the notch. To the standards A, A, are fixed the standards R, which
rise in front of the bars E and F. In these standards are fixed the small iron
rollers S, level with or rather higher than the top of the bars to which they
belong. Over and in front of these rollers the threads pass to the guides.
T and W are the leads in which the guides are cast (which guides differ
nothing from those used in the common machine). T belongs to the bar E,
U to the bar F, screwed to the bars the same as the leads in the point net
machine. In the leads of each bar are cast half as many gnides as there are
needles in the same space, so that when both sets are in, there is a guide for
each needle to the bar E. At the left end is fixed the guard V, which guard
works against the stop Q, Q, fixed on the left standard foot of the frame. The
dividing bar part of the machinery we have invented for the purpose of dividing
the thread lace into a variety of breadths, to prevent its being cut. Under the
bar A are fixed the standards A, A, projecting up in front of the bars E and I'.
On this bar is
In these standards the bar B, B, is fixed on centre screws.
screwed the lead C, C, having the long guide D, D, cast in it.
the guide D, D, are level with the holes in the other guides.
intend to make a separation we take a guide out of the bar F, and fix one of the
guides D, D, to work to the needle thus become vacant. On the bar B, B, is
The holes in
Wherever we

page_text: fixed the guard E, E, which bears on the guard V. This (when the top bar
F is raised, the guard E, E, bearing on the guard V.) raises the bar B, B,
whereby the guides D, D, rise to admit the bottom guides to cross under the
bar. B, B, has no other motion of itself, moving entirely with the bar A, so that
the thread, or any other material, worked by this guide is never connected
with any other part of the work, the work on each side being only connected
with this to hold them together. So, when ready for separation, take the last
end of the thread or other material, and draw it out, thereby separating
the lace instead of cutting the same, leaving a solid selvedge and handsome
pearl.
The division presser, another part of the machinery we have invented,
to be attached to a warp frame, for the purpose of keeping a division
between the connection loops and the front loops, which we bring under
the needle beards previous to the pressing. F, F, are the standards
screwed to the caps of the woodwork. The thread or other material
worked by the guide is put on a small roller by itself, which roller is fixed
under or behind the large beam, and either balanced by a small weight,
or connected to the large beam by a string or cord passing round them.
It is proper to have a separate wall to put on the end of the beam for the
cord to run in. By the largeness or smallness of this the threads on the small
roller will work streighter or looser. G, G, the spindle bar fixed in the stan-
dards nearly the same as the spindle bar of the frame. H, H, is the top bar
which is fixed between the ends of the spindle bar on centre screws.
I, I,
the presser screwed to the top bar H, H, by means of upright supports.
K, K, the standards screwed to the needle bar of the frame. L, L, the lever
fixed on the top of the standard K, K, the end of which is made to bear on
top bar H, H, the other end b extending backward to the back standard.
M, M, another lever fixed on the back standard; the end a is connected with
the end of the lever L, L, by a hook at the other end. b is a presser wire
which descends down to a treddle, similar to the rest of the footworks. N, N,
the guide to the presser, fixed to the machine stop on the right end of the
needle bar. O, O, the guide bit screwed to the top bar H, H, which works
against the guide N, N, whereby the presser is regulated backward or forward.
When the presser is put down, the guide bit (), O, descends into the notch c
in the guide N, N, and is thereby kept steady and firm while on the needles. S
P, P, the guard screwed to the top bar H, H, at the other end, which comes
down and works against the hanging check, for the purpose of keeping the
division presser from the sinkers. Wo find it necessary to apply a stripe of
velvet, or any other kind of soft cloth, under the edge of the presser I, I,

page_text: which we fix to nearly the same as the locking cloth is fixed to the locking
bar of a common frame.
The machine called the preventer, represented by D, D, D, another
part of our Invention, for the purpose of preventing the connecting twice
upon the same needles in work, where it should only be once. Z, Z, is the
preventer, on the back part of which are the shoulders b; through the thick
parts are the holes, through which the screws aro put, which screw it to
the bar B, thereby causing the vacancy between the thin or middle part of
the preventor Z, Z, and the bar B. On the top of the preventor are the
shoulders c, causing a notch or hollow within the shoulder at each end. B, B, B,
is the stop bit mover, put on an axle fixed in d of the preventor Z, Z, projecting
up through the vacancy between the preventor Z, Z, and the bar B, having a
slat in the middle, in which the pivot d (fixed in the bar G) works, so that
when the slat in the stop bit mover B, B, B, is put on the pivot, the moving
the bar E either way from the bottom of the notch in the spring Q will move
the top of the stop bit mover B, B, B, and according as the pivot is fixed to
work higher or lower in the slat, the motion of the top of B, B, B, will be
increased or diminished on an axle. In the top of B, B, B, are fixed the
stop bits C, C, C, the holes in c being put on the axle; the ends 6 of each
descend down to the preventor Z, Z, as represented in D, D, D, and are made
to fit exactly within the shoulders c, when the bar E is in the bottom of the
notch in Q, so that when both bits are down its prevents the bar E from being
moved either way, the vacancy a being in front. A, A, A, are the drop bits,
the holes c of which are put on an axle fixed near the top of Z, Z, over the
bit d, the bits A, A, A, extending in a horizontal direction along the top of
Z, Z, as represented in D, D, D, the ends 6 of which are brought over the
notch or hollow, the vacancy a on the back or farthest edge. The length of the
parts in each are proportioned to the breadth of the vacancy, the ends of
the parts 6 in the bits C, C, C, being made to pass through the vacancy a in
the bits A, A, A, and the parts of the bits A, A, A, made to pass through
the vacancy a in the bits C, C, C, the part 6 of the bits A, A, A, slanted in an
oblique direction, so that the edge nearest the axle on which they fixed bears
on the preventor in the hollow or notch, and the other or farthest edge pro-
jecting up above the shoulders. The parts 6 of the bits C, C, C, are likewise
slanted off in a similar direction. When the part 6 of the bit C, C, C, is drawn
from under the part 6 of the bits A, A, A, by moving the bar E to the left ex-
tremity, the bottom edge of the part 6 of the bit C, C, C, bears on the preventor
Z, Z, and the top edge projecting upwards lets the bar E go, and the part of
the bit C, C, C, will slide up the part 6 of the bit A, A, A, where it will con-
b

page_text: b
tinue till the bar E is moved to the other extremity, by which movement the
part 6 of the bit C, C, C, is forced up the oblique part 6 of the bit A, A, A,
till it is above the shoulder c, when being past the part of the bit A, A, A,
it drops on the shoulder c, and on return of the bar E to the bottom of the
notch in Q, it slides under the part of the bit A, A, A, and drops off the
shoulder into the hollow or notéli, which will prevent the bar E from moving
back till it has shifted to the other extremity, by moving which the part b
of the bit C, C, C, being drawn from under the part of the bit A, A, A,
which it bears up while passing under, the bit A, A, A drops, and the part b,
of the bit C, C, C, ascends again as before, thereby giving liberty to shift the
bar E to the other extremity. As this prevents every second connection
from moving wrong, it will easily be perceived that the other bits fitted in
like manner will have the same effect in the other connection. Shift the
bar E to the right, the part b, of the right stop bit C, C, C, being on part
6 of A, A, A, which will draw the part of the left bit C, C, C, from under
the part of A, A, A, and force the part 6 of the right bit C, C, C, over the
part 6 of the bit A, A, A. Let the bar E go, and the part 6 of the left bit
'C, C, C, will slide up the part 6 of the bit A, A, A, and the part 6 of the
right bit C, C, C, will be drawn under the part 6 of the bit A, A, A,
where it will fall down into the notch, and thereby prevent the moving the
bar E to the right when it ought to move to the left. Shift the bar E to the
left, which forces the bar b off the left bit C, C, C, over the part 6 of A, A, A,
and draws the part 6 off the right bit C, C, C, from under the part b, off
the bit A, A, A. Let the bar E go, which forces the part 6 off the right bit
C, C, C, up the part b, off A, A, A, and the part off the left bit C, C, C,
is drawn under the part b, off A, A, A, where it drops off the shoulder into
the notch, thereby preventing the moving the bar E to the left when it ought
to move to the right. D, D, D, represents the machine called the preventor,
composed of the preventor Z, Z, the stop-bit mover B, B, B, the drop bits
A, A, A, and the stop bits C, C, C, when properly put together.

keeping the frame in a proper position for pressing. T, T, is the support, or
part whereto the caster back is fixed, by being put on an axle or screw.
U, U, is the caster back put on the axle or screw in T, T, the end e made to
come under the hand bar where the screw d is put through to gage the caster-
back U, U, a proper height. (a) is the end, turned square to catch upon the
notches of N, N. The standard W, W, is nailed to the back of the back rail,
the parts in which the centre screws are fixed projecting up above the back
rail, in which the part c and d of the catch V, V, is fixed, the other end pro-
jecting forward horizontally under the part a of U, U. e is a gage screw,
the point of which bears on a nail put into the back rail for the purpose,
which prevents the catch V, V, from dropping lower than the proper depth,
where the caster back U, U, catches the last notch a, that is to let the frame
come sufficiently forward for the lapping course. Y, Y, is a lever fixed on an
axle on the top of the part a (which part is nailed on the inside of this back
rail and projecting upward), so that the part c of the lever will raise the
catch V, V, the end 6 of the lever being connected with the wire which bears
down the division presser by a small chain. X, X, is the supports to the
catch fixed on an axle put in the back rail under the catch V, V. To the
hole under the axle is fixed an elastic spring, which, when the catch V, V, is
raised by bearing down the division presser, forces the part c of X, X, under
the catch V, V, thereby supporting the catch V, V, a proper height, that the
caster back U, U, may catch the first notch 6, thereby holding the frame in a
right position to press the connecting course. The end of the part 6 of X, X,
is connected with the wire, which bears the frame down by a spring or small
chain, so that when the frame rises it raises the said wire and likewise the
part 6 of X, X, thereby forcing the part c from under V, V, which lets the
catch V, V, drop down on the stop or nail. R, R, is a stay fixed on one end

page_text: of the needle bar; the part 6 is turned under the bar, the screw d being screwed
fastens it to the needle bar; the screw is a gage screw for the more easy
altering the stay. S, S, a foresinker, fixed to the hanging check of the frame
by the hand bar screw; this moves backward and forward with the hanging
check in the vacancy of R, R. When the frame is sufficiently forward to
bear the work over, the foresinker stops against the part F of R, R. The top
of the foresinkor is slanted off, so that as the frame descends the sinkers will
continue to bear against the work.
The dividing machine described in the former part makes a beautifull pearl;
but as a more full and large pearl may be thought necessary, we have invented
the following machinery for that purpose, that is to say :-
E, E, E, is a slide put on the top of the hand bar of the frame, the part a
being behind the sinkers, having teeth in the front edge, which project against
the back part of the sinkers; in each of these teeth is a notch wide enough to
hold two sinkers, and sufficiently deep to keep the sinkers put in the notches
from getting out, or those which are out from geting into the said notches.
In the front of the sinkers is fixed the front part b, screwed to the back part a
at each end, leaving a vacancy between the back part a and the front part b,
which will hold the sinker tails; e is a part the ends of which are rivited to the
back edge of the part b, projecting back two or three inches. F, F, F, is a
crank lever with a joint in the middle of the part a, of which is serewed on
the top of the back rail and the part 6 projecting forward towards the needle
bar. In one of the holes in the part 6 is fixed a string or small chain, which
is fastened to the wire which bears the frame down, so that when the frame is
up it will hold the part 6 of F, F, F, in a horizontal position. G, G, G, is
another bent lever, the part b, &c. of which is fixed on an axle or joint to the
part a, the part a being screwed under the hand bar; the part c is bent in a
proper direction to bear on the part c of F, F, F, and when the frame comes
forward to knock the work over, the part c of G, G, G, bearing on the part c
of F, F, F, forces the part 6 of G, G, G, against the part c of E, E, E, thereby
forcing the sinkers (which are in the notches) forward, and as the threads
which work on each side of the dividing silk or other threads are put on a
small roller by themselves, which is fixed either under or behind the large
roller or beam on which the thread is put, by bearing the sinkers forward they
draw a greater quantity of the loop which forms the pearl; by making the
slide bear the sinkers forward more or less you may make the pearl as large
or as small as you please. Fix two gage screws to the part a of the slide, one at
each end, in such a position as when the slide bears the sinkers forward as
much as you think proper, the points of the gage screws will stop against the

page_text: back of the hand bar. H, H, H, are two springs, fixed one at each end of
the hand bar to force the slide back when you have done the course.
you
As you
bear down the frame, the part c of F, F, F, drops and leaves the slide at
liberty, and the spring forces it back. It is necessary to make use of thicker
threads on each side of the dividing silk, or any other thread where intend
to make the large or full pearl. By making a pearl on each side of the
dividing thread you threw the front edge of one breadth of lace against. the
front edge of the other. A dividing thread is sufficient for the back edge, as
there is no need of a pearl on it. The sinkers which are put in the notches
are the two which have the needle that works the dividing thread between
them.
The method of working the double-barred machine and frame with our
additional machinery and apparatus.-Having the frame over the arch, you
prepare to connect. Having fixed the left stops O to admit the bar E to
move two needles each way from the bottom of the notch in the rack spring
Q, making four needles in the whole, and the right stop O to admit the bar F
to move one needle each way from the centre of the notch in the receiver K,
making two needles in the whole, and the bottom bar A, one needle of shog in
the spindle bar, hold the bar A to the right, bear tho handle of the bar H
down till the stop I bears on the bar B; the top guides will now be above
the line of the bottom guides, and the conductor receiver K will be below the
screw of the conductor L. Push the bar H to the left, the bar E continuing
in the bottom of the notch of the rack spring Q, and put up the guides
between the needles. Shift the bar E to the left, and the bar F to the right;
bring down through the needles holding the bottom bar A, in the same
shog as it was put up; let the bar E go; when it is gone back to the
bottom of the notch, let the bar F go, put the loops back by the machine,
and put the machine to the left, and lap before you are quite through
the needles. In coming down put the division presser down by bearing
on the traddle. To keep the connecting loops back, draw the front loops
forward under the needle beards, letting the frame come forward to the caster
back; when ready to press the course, let the division presser risc, taking care
not to disturb the work after until you have pressed. Press and draw up the
course by bearing on the roller with your
up
hand until you have drawn
course as light as it is thought proper. The next or lapping course is worked
with the machine in the same position as when the last course was finished.
Work this course by the common method of lapping used in common warp
frames. The next is a connection course. Hold the bar A to the left, bear
the handle of the bar H down and push it to the right; put the guides up
the

page_text: between the needles; shift the bar E to the right and the bar F to the left;
bring down, holding the bottom bar A in the same shog as when put up; let
the bar E go; let the bar F go; put the loops back; shog to the right and
lap; finish the course the same as the last connection course.
The next
is a lapping course. Then begin again and proceed as above described.
Another sort of lace is made by connecting twice in one shog and twice in the
other, and in all other respects following the process laid down above. And for
another sort of lace, instead of putting the guides above the needle to cross, we
cross them below and lap with them crossed; having brought the loops under
the needle beards and pressed the back stitch over; we let the bars go and 1
work on by lapping courses. In this work we make either one, two, or three
lapping courses, according to the mesh we mean to make. The machine I, I, I,
shews the whole apparatus when put together with the work upon it.
As the introduction of a scale to the Drawings would have made it necessary
to reduce several of the parts to a very minute size, we have thought it would
render the Specification. more clear if we stated the proportions in the following
manner:-
