    | 22,264 | Dec. 07, 1858 | Improvement in sewing-machines | John  First | New York, NY | This is an early patent to the co-founder of First & Pryibil, an important maker of woodworking machinery. |  
    | 35,542 | Jun. 10, 1862 | Improved tension-regulator for sewing machines | Paul  Pryibil | New York, NY | Invention is of interest because it is the first known patent for Paul Pryibil, an important early woodworking machinery builder (with First & Pryibil, and subsequently under his own name). |  
    | 36,548 | Sep. 23, 1862 | Improved machine for cutting crystals | Paul  Pryibil | New York, NY | Patent is of interest because the inventor later became an important maker of woodworking machinery. |  
    | 57,565 | Aug. 28, 1866 | Improvement in sawmills | Paul  Pryibil | New York, NY | Inventor was the eponym for First & Pryibil, a maker of a wide range of woodworking machinery. About 1887 the company name changed to "P. Pryibil". |  
    | 94,130 | Aug. 24, 1869 | Improvement in machines for turning ovals | Paul  Pryibil | New York, NY |  |  
    | 113,926 | Apr. 18, 1871 | Improvement in sawing-machines | Paul  Pryibil | New York, NY | This is one of the first patents for a tilting bandsaw, or ship saw; only patent 31,768 preceded it. Pryibil's patent saw was featured in an article on ship saws in the Chronicle of the Early American Industries Association, by Dana Martin Batory. |  
    | 134,704 | Jan. 07, 1873 | Improvement in saw-guides | Paul  Pryibil | New York, NY | See the pictures for patent 57,565. |  
    | 166,355 | Aug. 03, 1875 | Improvement in resawing-machines | John  First | New York, NY |  |  
    | 169,035 | Oct. 19, 1875 | Improvement in band sawing-machines | Paul  Pryibil | New York, NY | This saw has the frame inclined from vertical by 30 to 60 degrees. The incline is such that the horizontal component of the saw-teeth's movement is opposite to the feed direction of the work; the result is that the saw cuts more like a circular saw than a bandsaw. "The cutting-edge operates first upon the lower portion of the work, the face of each tooth strikes the ends of the fibers in such a manner as to break most of the wood off in small chips or slides instead of cutting it all into dust..." |

    | 180,636 | Aug. 01, 1876 | Improvement in feed-motions for saw-mills | Paul  Pryibil | New York, NY |  |  
    | 182,438 | Sep. 19, 1876 | Improvement in scroll-sawing machines | William D. Herschel | New York, NY | The invention is aimed at creating a mechanism that runs smoothly at high speeds, and that pulls the sawblade back a bit at each end of the stroke, so that sawdust is more readily cleared. Inventor Herschel went on to become the machine designer for Jos. O. Colladay & Bros.
