page_text: thumb of such gloves and mittens, and there are less seams in the fingers
of the said gloves than in ordinary gloves.
The method of making the gloves and mittens is by cutting the
patterns of the same out of card paper according to the plan and Specifi-
cation marked thereon, sent herewith.
The Specification marked A is part of mitten before being sewn,
shewing front part thereof and the whole of the thumb; that marked B
is the back part of the mitten before being sewn; that marked C is the
triangular piece which appears on the palm of the mitten immediately
beneath the base of the thumb; that marked D is the piece forming
front part of the wrist of the mitten; that marked E is the piece forming
back part of the wrist of the mitten; that marked F is part of the glove
before being sewn, shewing the front part of the palm and fingers, and
the whole of the thumb; that marked G is the back part of one of the
middle fingers of the glove, extending to the band around the wrist; that
marked H is the back part of the other of the middle fingers of the glove,
extending to the band around the wrist; that marked I is the triangular
piece which appears on the palm when the glove is buttoned immediately
beneath the base of the thumb; that marked J is the band around the
wrist of the glove; that marked K is the piece to which button of glove is
sewn; that marked A, A, shews the mitten when made; that marked B, B,
shews the glove when made.
The gloves and mittens themselves are then cut according to those
patterns not by machinery but with a sharp pointed knife.
A hand sewing machine is used to do the fancy stitching only on the
book of the cloves and mittens if required
