Key to Links for Patent Information

USPTO = U.S. Patent Office . Images of the actual patent can be viewed on the U.S. Patent Office web site but a special TIFF viewer must be installed with your browser in order properly work. More information on how to configure your computer to view these patents can be found at TIFF image Viewers for Patent Images.
DATAMP = Directory of American Tool And Machinery Patents . A sister site to VintageMachinery.org with information on patents related to machinery and tools. A much easier user interface than the USPTO's for finding information on machinery patents.

11,349 Jul. 25, 1854 Device in machine for cutting round tenons George Bailey Lockport, NY This machine was intended for making bedstead-rails, but it was also used for making garden implements such as hoes and rakes. An 1855 ad from Spalding's Machine Shop lists this machine: "Baily's Bed Rail Machine, for turning and tenoning square timber—eight hundred pieces in ten hours turned ready for the screw." An 1874 ad from T. R. Bailey & Vail shows a lathe with this patented feature.

27,192 Feb. 14, 1860 Method of feeding the bolt to the knife in shingle-machines David Nicholson Lockport, NY An 1855 advertisement for Spalding's Machine Shop in Lockport lists, as one of their products, "Nicholson's Shingle Machine, for sawing Shingles, the best machine in use. It will cut 1000 shingles per hour for ten hours in succession. Price, complete, with jointer, $150." The ad predates this patent but in the absence of other information we assume that Spalding's also made this improved design.
