Faculty Committee, and approved by all its members, has been presented to and accepted by the Council on Graduate Study and Research in partial fu lfill ment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OP ARTS Jwe, 1951 Faculty Committee Chairman PREFACE 1 The Journal of the Franklin Institute has been , recognized by many writers as the only authentic source of early Inventions* The accurate listing of the patents and the publishing of the patent specifications would warrant a long perusal of such a publication. The Editor's comments upon these Inventions explain^ In addition to the value of the patent, many matters of the scientific world as It existed In the decade between 1&26 and 1836. I This paper cannot be considered as an exhaustive 1 treatise because the material was too extensive, particu larly In regard to the patent listings, to be confined to ■ the limits of this work. The writer has, however. Included in the appendix a complete list of all patents issued In the United States, as recorded In The Journal of the Franklin Institute for the period covered by this paper. Each patent has been chronologically arranged and Indexed to facilitate Its use for reference. Irregularities will be found In the early years when clerical aid was in adequate In the patent office, and receipt of patent specifications were Irregular. The listing In this work is concluded with the Patent Office fire in 1836 at which time the patent records were completely destroyed. Ill A subject of such value to the historian deserves study, and It Is the purpose of this paper to tell some thing of the early development of The Journal of the Franklin Institute from 1826 to I836 in relation to the existing patents for that period. For the sake of convenience and logical progression of thought, this paper will consider the Franklin Institute, Its origin and development ; The Journal of the Franklin Institute. Its scope and value; the patent laws, their organization and administration; and a decade of Inventions,' their reflection of the period and of progress. The writer wishes to express her sincere appreciation to Dr. Bussell L. Caldwell for his guidance and encourage ment during the writing of this thesis. TABLE 0F CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE î.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION..................... 157 BIBLIOGRAPHY ............................... 163 APPENDIX........................................... 168 CHAPTER I THE PRAHELIN INSTITUTE Although there were numerous Mechanic s' Institutes** In the United. States at the time that the Franklin Institute; was formed, there were none that could be classified along with it in scope and function. The Mechanics* Institutes of’ that day were designed especially to Instruct the artisans by means of lectures and classes. In addition to this kind of organization, there were also certain exclusive societies formed for those who were learned in the sciences. The founders of the Franklin Institute embodied both of these functions in their society. A platform was needed which would be broad enough and strong enough to accommodate the layman and professor, or the workman and the master without incommoding either.^ The first Charter of this Institute : stated in section 2: The object of said corporation shall be the promotion and encouragement of manufacturers ; and the mechanic and useful arts, by the estab- ■ lishment of popular lectures on the Science ' connected with them, by the formation of a cabinet of models and minerals, and a library, by offering premiums on all objects deemed worthy of encouragement, and examining all new William H. ¥ahl> The Franklin Institute of the | State of Pennsylvania for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts, p. 3. inventions submitted to them, and by such other measures as they may judge expedient.^ How well these aims were fulfilled can easily be seen by viewing the activities of the Institute as it is recorded in the Franklin Journal. I The Franklin Institute had its beginning as a result of the disappointment of a young man named Samuel Vaughn ! i Merrick who came from EoHowell, Maine, to Philadelphia, | Pennsylvania, while he was a young man in his teens. He soon entered the counting house of his uncle, Samuel Vaughn, a prosperous wine merchant. Merrick was a hard worker and progressed rapidly in the understanding of his uncle's I business. Samuel Vaughn loaned a sum of money to a firm of fire engine manufacturers in Philadelphia. These mechanics were ' ultimately unable to pay their debt, and therefore, Samuel Vaughn obtained judgment against them and secured their property. Finding a buyer for such an unpromising business ■ was not an easy thing to do, and the wine merchant found himself unable to dispose of his new acquisition. He there-; fore made an offer to his nephew to take over the business. ; Samuel Merrick accepted the invitation even though he had no ; ^ Persifor Frazer, "The Franklin Institute; Its Services and Deserts,** The Journal of the Franklin Institute. GLXV, (April, 1908), pp. 249-250. 3 knowledge of the mechanical work Involved in his new enter- ; prise. I The first step that he took to correct this condi- Î tion of his ignorance of mechanics was to apply through a I friend, William Kneass, a copperplate engraver, who later became engraver and die sinker to the United States mint, for membership in a local association for mechanics. Two factors seemed to be against his acceptance into the soci ety. In the first place he was recently from Maine. Phila delphia* s tradition for conservatism had permeated into thej Mechanics* Institutes as in other things; foreigners were | not fully appreciated. Another factor which did not en hance Mr. Merrick* s position was that he had admitted him self that he was no mechanic. To quote the words of Samuel Merrick, he found himself at twenty-one years of age **the owner of a workshop, but without a mechanical education and scarcely a mechanical idea.**^ When the vote was taken, Mr. Merrick was black-balled.^ The circumstance of this incident annoyed the owner of the fire engine manufacturing company considerably. Me studied enough on his own to make his business a paying concern in a comparatively short time. He continued to ^ Ellwood Hendrick, Modern Views of Physical Science. p. 7. ^ Ibid.. pp. 7-10. 4 ■deplore the situation of the mechanics in Philadelphia on occasions that presented themselves. He discussed this matter with his friend, William Kneass, and in expressing his views he stated that he felt that Philadelphia should offer opportunities for study to every ”man or hoy to learn without hinderance and at a low cost that of which is known of the mechanic arts and also the science which underlies i I t h e m .”5 Whether Kneass was Impressed with Mr. Merrick's words and urged him to organize an institute for this pur pose, or whether he chided Merrick into forming such a society, it matters little. Merrick began to think serious ly of putting into execution such an organization. He hired a hall and sent out a call for a meeting, but nobody came in response to his invitation. He tried the same pro- , cedure again, thinking something had gone amiss, but again he met with the same disappointment and result.^ ! William Kneass knew that some of the professors of the University of Pennsylvania would be in sympathy with such an organization, and he, therefore, introduced Blr. Merrick to William Hypolitus Keatings, Professor of 'Chemistry and Minerology, who had recently met with dis couragement in his attempt to establish an Institution of ^ Ibid.. p. 9. Hendrick, ep. -cit.,. p.--4. 5 science. To unite science with practice and practice with science was exactly what Keating wanted to do. This was hisi opportunity.? The coming together of these two men with ’ their individual needs and purposes, gave the Franklin Institute, the product of their efforts, the distinction of being the only mechanics* institute of its kind at the time of its organization, an institution that combined the ; practical mechanical product with the scientific basis and explanation which accompanied it.^ On December 9> 1823, a small group of interested men met at the Hall of the American Philosophical Society. This meeting is considered to be the first meeting of the , Franklin Institute. There were only five persons present. This group recommended the formation of a society for the promotion of the mechanic arts and selected from among them-: selves and other friends interested in the plan a committee ^ composed of James Eonaldson, S. H. Wood, S. V. Merrick, M. T. Wickham, ¥. H. Keating, Thomas Fletcher, and James ■ Rush, to carry into effect the plans for the organization of' the Institute. The committee was also given the authority j to draft a constitution and call for a future meeting. They! • J ‘ Frazer, pp. cit., p. 13. ^ Wahl, pp. clt. s p. 2. 6 I made a list of men in the city of Philadelphia, for the most part young men, well known in their communities, men of quality who would be quite certain to support the enter prise. Prom this small beginning, then, did the Franklin Institute arise.9 The luke-warm interest elicited in the preceding yearI as a result of the many delays, influenced the members of j the committee to invite all the inhabitants of the city and : county friendly to the promotion of the arts to a town meet ing at the County Court House. The committee also had sent ' circulars to every person whose name was suggested as likely I to give aid to the cause.Approximately fifteen hundred citizens were invited. The meeting was held on the evening of February 5, 1824. It was very largely attended, and, fortunately for those who were working for the founding of the Institute, by the very persons whose attendance was chiefly desirable. Mr. James Ronaldson was called to preside over the meeting and Colonel P. A. Browne explained fully the purposes of the proposed Institution. A spirited discussion took place 9 Hendrick, pp. cit., pp. 4-5. The Franklin Journal, and American Mechanics* ' Magazine, I, (February, l826), p. 70. Wahl, pp. cit., p. 5. 7 : until the subject was completely understood and accepted by , the intelligent assembly. After the proposed constitution was presented, it was thoroughly discussed, amended, and , unanimously adopted. The sixteenth of February was selected as the date for the first election of officers. Mr. Merrick, in a letter to Mr. Fraley, stated that **the meeting was a perfect success; the novel mode of throwing the association j open to the world, without the intervention of cliques, made' it universally popular. "12 Lists of membership had been circulated, and by the time of the scheduled election, between four hundred and five hundred members were enrolled* Mr. Eonaldson was elected President. !4r. Merrick and Professor Keating were .chosen as members of the Board of Managers. Standing com mittees on instruction, on inventions, premiums and exhibi- i tions, on the library, and models and minerals were appointed. I I The Legislature of the State of Pennsylvania granted ' I to the Society on March '3p 1824, a charter under the title, ! "An Act to Incorporate the Franklin Institute of the State ; of Pennsylvania for the promotion of the Mechanic Arts". | Ibid.. p. 5. Ibid., p. 6. 8 ■This was the final step in the work of the organization of the Franklin Institute by its founder. The reason for selecting the name of the great statesman and philosopher is not to be found in the pages of the Journal nor in any of the accounts which are given con cerning its beginning. Dr. Frazer in his article on the Service of the Institute gives the following explanation: I ! "I must believe in the absence of contradictory information that the reason for calling this Institute the Franklin Institute was that its work was planned to realize the pro jects supported during the whole of his busy life. . .^5 Any person of legal age, friendly to the mechanic arts was eligible to join the Institute after being proposed by a member in good standing and elected by the Board of Managers. Membership in the Institute was open to men and I •women without regard to distinctions of race or nationality.^ Each contributing member when not in arrears for dues was | entitled to attend and take part in the meetings of the j Institute, use the library and reading room, to vote for the officers of the Institute, receive tickets for himself and a' lady to the lectures, and to receive free of charge a copy i Ibid.. p. 7. T3 Frazer, pp. cit. 9 i of the Jooroal. Additional copies were sold to saoh members I for the sum of three dollars* Minor children, wards and | apprentices of members were permitted to use the library and reading room with the added privilege of attending the ! lectures by paying a total sum of three dollars. Members in good standing also had the privilege of introducing strang- ; ers to the meetings and obtaining a limited number of {tickets for the lectures to be distributed among their ^ friends or associates. The Franklin Journal recorded the growth of the Institute in the reports made by the Board of Managers. In the first volume of this work, the Board presented the | t following abstract in regard to the membership for the first two years; "The Institute has, within the last year, flour- ! ished beyond the anticipations of its warmest friends. At its commencement there were only five hundred and sixty members; the number now amounts to one thousand and sixty- five members. " Other accounts given in the Journal show that the membership fluctuated, especially in the early years. There were, apparently, members on the list who did not make their contributions as to keep them in good Wahl, pp. cit., pp. 9-10. ^7 The Franklin Journal, and American Mechanics* Magazine, I, (January, 1826), p."4. j 10 standing. In January, I83I, the Board reported a slightly different picture of the membership list by stating: ¥e have cause to regret, also, that more active measures have not been taken to increase the list of members of the Institute. Our members appear to have continued stationary, while the demands upon our funds have greatly increased since the origin of the society. This arises from the great extension given to its sphere of usefulness. It is estimated that the number of annual contributors does not exceed 60O; while there can be no doubt that a society of the nature of ours, ought in such a city as Phila delphia, to command at least 2,000. When we look to the extent of our system of education, to the liber ality with which it is made to include all the younger individuals of a member's family, to the privileges of the library and reading room, which in other institu tions cost more than twice as much as the whole amount of our annual contribution, to the advantages which members have in visiting the exhibitions, and when we recollect that all this is obtained by the small annual payment of three dollars, free from all other charges, we have reason indeed to be surprised that our list of members should not have swelled to a much greater number than the above stated. In February, 1833, the Board in its ninth annual report to the members of the Institute reported that a diploma of membership was ready for distribution. The society had decided upon this course in I830 and had en trusted the design of the certificate to Thomas Sulley, one of America's great artists.^9 A small fee was charged to Tbe Journal of the Franklin Institute, XI, (January, 1831), p. 45. Hendrick, pp. cit., p. 5- 11 defray the expenses attending its preparation. The Board explained that the Institute could not afford to take funds from the treasury as in doing so they would interfere with 'some portion of the work entailed in the purpose of the Institute. There was a gradual increase in membership during the; years between 1830 and 1836. The Journal records the number| ! of members added and dropped during these years. It also gives the names of those individuals who became life members. k person could become a life member by paying one hundred dollars into the treasury. By December, 1836, the member ship of the organization had reached approximately 2,000 members, and the success of the Institute was a certainty. Matthias Baldwin, Chairman of the Publicity Committee for the Institute, in I836 stated: The same zeal which has given it upwards of 2,000 - members, and hither-to sustained it under more trying circumstances, will still continue to animate its members, and in a few years more, endeared to the ' public as well by its important services in the cause of education, as by its invaluable investigations of | the most important practical and scientific objects, ; the name of the Franklin Institute will convey a ! highly exalted idea of national greatness, and stimu- ! late our sister institutions to greater zeal in the promotion of the Arts and Sciences.21 ' The Journal of the Franklin Institute, 15, (February, l833l,^^.’90. 21 Ibid.. XX, (December, I836), p. 387. 12 In the original draft of the constitution of the Institute and in the charter which followed in 1824, the objects are referred to as "the promotion and encouragement of manufactures, and the mechanic and useful arts," The Institute grew and the working feature evolved in the years which followed directly after the founding of the organiza tion, The means by which the original objects were attained centered around certain activities. Lectures were delivered on the arts and the application of science to problems; a library of books relating to science and the useful arts was organized; a reading room was opened; inventions were j examined by a committee of learned and honorable men for the purpose of encouraging and promoting the welfare of the inventor, yearly exhibits were held for the display of the products of American manufacturers and the awarding of medals to the worthy workmen. Models and machines were collected and properly housed by the Institute and schools were established in which the young artisans particularly were taught. The Institute also very early decided upon the publication of a journal which could be used to publicize the work of the Institute along with the many other uses to which it could be pl ace d.22 a brief discussion of these points and others which were developed in the course of the 22 Tbe Franklin Journal, and American Mechanics* Magazine. I, (March, 1826),p. 131. 13 years will follow in this work. The Committee of Instruction was one of the original groups appointed at the time of the organization of the Institute. In the instructions provided for by this com mittee there was provision made for lectures to begin on the’ 'second Monday in November, and to be continued on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for twenty-one weeks including the j Introductory lectures. The first week was to be occupied with presenting introductory lectures and was open to any who might desire to attend. For the remaining numbers only ! those were permitted to enter and attend who had obtained tickets. Tickets of admission were issued to every life member and to members who had paid their annual dues.23 The course of instruction in the Institute was i commenced on the 28th of April, 1824, by a lecture delivered : at the Philadelphia Academy on North Fourth Street, which was owned by the University of Pennsylvania, ât this time the ! Institute was without a building for this purpose and its t funds were very low. The permission for the use of the rooms at the Academy was granted by the trustees. A short time later the Institute rented the lower floor of the old j Carpenter's Hall for the purpose of conducting the school Ibid., I, (February, 1826), p. 132. 14 sessions. When the headquarters of the Institute was com pleted, the Instruction was moved into its own lecture room. The lectures which were on miscellaneous subjects were delivered gratuitously by volunteer lecturers and were con tinued weekly for several months. At the beginning of the regular session arrangements were made for the teaching of Mechanical and Architectural | I Drawing which resulted in complete success. The lectures were delivered by several professors who had been appointed for this purpose and to whom small salaries had been propor tioned from the meager funds of the Institute. Lectures on Natural Philosophy and Chemistry as applied to the arts were, also started in the early years of the Institute.24 About the middle of November of 1825, other courses were commenced which included training in Practical Mechanics and one in Natural History. To the latter, the members of the Institute were permitted to introduce ladies. The Board felt that few would avail themselves of the i I privilege. There were, however, nearly one hundred ladies . who attended. These lectures continued to be very popular in the succeeding years.25 I 24 Ibid.. p. 131. 25 Ibid.. p. 3J1. .15 The managers of the Institute were greatly encouraged by the active participation which they found in the educa tional opportunities that had been offered and they, there- I fore, established in 1826 another school in which "all use ful branches of English literature and ancient and modern languages" were taught. This was the beginning of the High ; School upon which the City of Philadelphia modeled its j school. 28 In the report of the Committee on Instruction in April, 1827, comments were made concerning the matter of dieipline in the lecture classes. The report stated that much incon venience was experienced from the "indecorus conduct" of a considerable number of the young boys who attended. Because of this situation, several of the senior members declined to attend. The Institute had been aware from the beginning of the need for the education of the youthful mechanics and had therefore adopted measures to secure this object and at the | same time not interfere with the order and quiet of the class. After considerable thought was given on this matter,; the Committee on Instruction decided only to admit youths to j the lectures after the parents or masters of such youths had, testified as to their real desire to learn from the lecturesj Wahl, pp. cit., p. 20. 16 and also that these Individuals vere at least sixteen years I of age. Those under the age of sixteen were not barred from attending the meetings, but entrance under these circum stances was only permitted when a parent accompanied the youth. A fee of one dollar was charged for each youth who attended the lectures.27 Xn explaining the need for such | action, the committee stated: This amount so small In Itself that It can In no manner produce Inconvenience to those who pay it. Is, however, sufficient to prevent any from attending, whose only object would be the grati fication of an Idle curiosity; while the same time | It Insures the punctual attendance of those whose ' frleMs have Incurred this expense of the success of this plan.2b | ! The plan was successful and the number of junior students who attended Increased from twenty-seven In the first year to one hundred eighty In the third course. At first the women were only permitted to attend the lectures on Natural Philosophy, but soon It was felt wise to admit them to all or any of the lectures. The Board resolved In 1827 to Issue tickets for the admission of ladles to all the lectures, at two dollars for the season. The practice of the admission of ladles to all the courses of lectures In Mechanics* Institutions has obtained In London, Glasgow, and other places.

It is recorded that between forty and fifty ladies attended with the utmost regularity and "have un doubtedly, largely contributed by the influence of their presence, to the establishment of that perfect decorum which was so much desired. The High School ceased to be under the control of the Committee on Instruction in August of 1829, as it was only originally established for a period of three years. The drawing school continued to be very popular at this time to the extent that several applicants were refused admittance due to the crowded conditions at the school.^^ In 1831 the Board took a forward step by establishing an evening English school in which all branches of "plain English" were taught. The Board also pointed out that the 29 Ibid., IV, (June, 1827), p. 124. Tbe Journal of the Franklin Institute, V, (January, 1828), p. 74. Wahl, pp. cit., 20. Also see The Journal of the Franklin Institute, IX, (January, 1830), p. 106. 18 higti qualifications of the teacher in charge would enable him to carry the pupils deeply into the science of mathe matics should any of the students so desire. The school, it, was felt, would supply all the parts obtainable from the already formed mathematical school and yet would be so en larged in its field of operation that it would be received with the proper amount of enthusiasm and popularity. Addi- ; I tional comment on the subject indicated that the members of the Board felt that this school would also be a satisfactory, means for masters to educate their apprentice workers, as required by law. The journeyman, likewise was called to take notice of the existence of such a school to help improve himself.^2 ; The lectures continued in popularity. Several reports were made in the Journal in regard to the continued patron age of the lectures among both the men and women, which at times gave concern to the Board in regard to providing accommodations necessary to care for the large numbers attending. The 12th annual report which appeared in the March issue of 1836 of the J ournal summed up the situation in Tbe Journal of the Franklin Institute, XI, (January, Ï83I), p. 41. Also see Ibid., XIII, (January, 1832), pp. 104-105.

The pattern set forth was so well planned that the Central High School of the City was later modeled on the same lines. By doing so, the City enabled the Ibid.. XXI, (March, I836), pp. 191-192. Ibid., p. 192. 5^ Ibid.« XX, (December, 1836)» p. 386. 20 Institute to pass over its students to Central High and con-' tinue its own work in other kinds of education. The school . I of Mechanical Drawing continued, however, under the auspices of the Institute for many years, and was absorbed when the City incorporated a like tuition into its system.27 The lectures have continued regularily as a part of the Institute since its foundation. They have changed in i character somewhat, and have become national affairs. The , Institute has grown into the meeting place for scholars in I science from all parts of the world.38 The holding of exhibitions was highly favored by the promoters of the Institute as a means of encouraging the mechanic arts. In this field of activities, the Institute was for many years very conspicuously prominent. The Exhibition held on April, 1824, was the first of its kind to be attempted in the United States, and was conducted only a few months after the Institute was formed. The exhibition was held in the old Carpenter's Hall. In the quarterly ! I report of the Institute, the Board gave the reasons for the exhibition by stating: | The effect and consequence of such exhibitions will necessarily be to extend the reputation of the Institute, to stimulate the zeal of the members, and.. ; 27 Wahl, pp. cit., p. 20. .38 Hendrick,-pp.-cit.-, p. .21., 21 to excite a proper degree of emulation and of justi fiable rivalry among the numberless manufacturers and mechanics of this City. It is confidently believed that when the products of our industry are collected from the various workshops now dispersed throughout the City and State and exhibited together, they will form a collection calculated to excite a gratifying sense of pride in the bosom of every well- wisher to the prosperity of our manufacturers, and an encouraging hope that, under proper regulations, we may soon compete with foreigners in the manufac ture of all useful articles.29 The records which have been preserved in regard to j this first exhibition demonstrate that the event was looked ' upon as one of first importance. An eye-witness of the event described the activities in the following words: It was held in Carpenter's Hall in the autumn of 1824, and was crowned with complete success. It attracted large crowds of people who hitherto had had no conception of the extent and variety of our home productions, and reacted in many curious and unexpected ways to bring producer and consumers together, and to diffuse a knowledge of our domestic skill and r e s o u r c e s . The success which crowned the pioneer enterprise gave the founders of the Institute courage to continue in this endeavor. The records of these exhibitions disclose many , interesting facts relative to the origin and growth of manu-' factoring in the United States. ! The second annual exhibition was equally successful | and dissipated all fears respecting the approval of such a Wahl, cit. j p. 40. Ibid.. P.,_1H.„ ______ 22; measure. An abundance of material of excellent workmanship was exhibited. The exhibitions were inaugurated in order to make it ; possible for producers and purchasers to become acquainted , with each other and to develop the capacities of the country to supply its wants and sustain its commerce. In ; order to maintain this lofty aspiration, the Institute i offered a number of premiums for various types of endeavor, j The third annual exhibit offered rewards for such things as ■ the best table knives and forks, best furnace for consuming ; anthracite coal in generating steam to be applied to steam engines, best piece of black broadcloth, best grate or stove I for burning anthracite coal, and a marine railway for haul ing ships out of water for repair. There were sixty-one ■premiums offered.The offers made by the Institute reflect the needs of the time and in most cases were consistent in appearing on the list of offers. The number of inferior articles became fewer each I year. The Committee on Exhibitions and the Board of Managers t were annually making reference to such a condition. The j eleventh quarterly report concerning the third exhibit ’ stated that the great progress made during the year 111 The Franklin Journal, and American Mechanics' Magazine, I, (January, 1826), p.'47 Ibid.. pp. 6-10.' 23 intervening between the exhibitions was *'strikingly exempli fied in the general superiority of the fabrics, and in the production of new articles of manufacture. ”^2 The Committee on Premiums and Exhibitions on the fourth annual exhibition made a similar comment. The Committees have the satisfaction to report that the display of American ingenuity and industry justified the most sanguine anticipations of those who instituted the exhibits. Every succeeding year j brings before the public articles of manufacture before unknown, which in the intervening space have advanced so rapidly as to warrant the belief that time and experience only are requisite to.place them beyond the reach of foreign competition.^^ The public became interested in these exhibits early,, and large numbers visited the displays whenever they were given. It was finally decided by the Board of Managers to charge a small admission fee. This policy went into effect at the fifth exhibit, and although 'members were admitted with i two ladies gratis, the receipt from the sale of tickets at ' the rate of twelve and a half cents each was seven hundred ' I and fifteen d o l l a r s . ^2 By a resolution of the Board of Managers it was decided that no exhibition would be held in 1829, Plans were ^2 Ibid..

This measure was adapted because it was believed the exhibitions held every two years would excite more interest ; and be productive of more advantages to the arts and manu facturers.^^ The character of the exhibitions was changed in some ; measure in the preparations made for the sixth exhibit. It j was decided to open the Hall rather as a depot for display and sale of the products produced. It was felt that there was too much comparison between products and producers which ♦ might embarrass those offering their work for display. The ^ I Board proposed to confine the premiums to inventions and 1 manufacturers which were little known. It was hoped in this way to avoid the necessity of disappointing many competi tors.^"^ At the conclusion of the sixth exhibition it was felt expedient to hold a public auction of such goods as , I were intended for sale. The experiment did not prove to be | very successful, however, and the perseverance of such a ; plan was abandoned. The Committee on Premiums and Exhibi tions stated that it seemed too difficult a task to bring the purchaser away from the usual auction stores to a place ' Ibid.. VIII, (August, 1828), p. 204. ^7 Ibid.. IX, (January, 1828), p. log. 25 *’out of the ordinary precincts of business." They felt that there existed a certain distrust that goods would be valued much above their ordinary market price and that the articles, would not be offered without reservation.^^ The exhibition itself, was not a failure. Hot less than twenty thousand persons visited the displays and some ,interesting articles were made visible to the public gaze. j I The Committee commented particularly on the improvement in the straw hats which were exhibited, and which received the universal attention of visitors to the Exhibition. Consider able improvement had been made by this time in the general finish of the articles. The prominent ornamentation was beginning to disappear and a finished style of elegance as was characterized by productions in England began to appear in the products of the American manufacturer.^9 , The Committee on Premiums and Exhibitions went into considerable detail in reporting on the sixth exhibit. Their remarks are of particular interest in regard to various ' industries which were developing in the United States at this time. The first of these to receive mention was the silk I industry as a result of the silk goods on display. The i ^8 Ibid.. X, (November, I830), p. 278. ^9 Ibid.. pp._ 278-279. 26. report stated that although silk thread had been made in the United States in a considerable quantity for seventy years, it was impossible to compete with Europe in this field with-, out the proper machines being imported into America. The fine silk which was used in the United States had been imported mainly from France, as much as eight to ten mi111onj cm i dollars worth yearly.bU i I Regarding the manufacture of cotton goods in the United States, the Committee commented that this industry was rapidly becoming of first importance in furnishing the ^ most valuable article for American export, supplying this country with a staple which was manufactured in the United ! States at an immense extent. To show the advance made in the manufacture of this industry the report continued: , From the coarse brown shirtings, we have already advanced to cambrics of a handsome quality, ; ' and the improvements in prints and other varieties , of manufacture, is proceeding with a rapid pace. ! "The cambric muslins made at the Arkwright Mills and also ( .those manufactured by Philip Allen were examined and des- ; cribed as were the indigo blue checks emanating from the | company of Graves and Fleming, and the fine colored prints from the Merrimac Manufacturing concern.2^ 50 Ibid.. p. 319. 51 Ibid.. p. 3 2 3. 27 The Board was undecided whether to repeat the exhibi tions annually or only biennially, but again it was decided , to have an exhibit the next year. In the announcement of the coming event which appeared in the Journal the Institute emphasized the fact that the exhibits were held for no other object than to encourage and stimulate wholesome competition, I between those employed in similar branches of endeavor and | to do all that would contribute to remove the unfounded prejudices entertained against American manufacturers.22 In order to insure the participation of a larger number of industrial concerns, the actuary was sent to visit, the principal manufacturing towns and establisfcmients in the ! United States. In this way personal connection between the ■ proprietors and the Institute were made. These owners were invited to send their goods to the exhibition, the character : of which was fully explained to them. Several of these con cerns availed themselves of the opportunity and sent goods j I representative of their work. Others who were not prepared i for the exhibit of 1831» promised to contribute at another t i m e .23 By the time of this display, the exhibitions had , * gained considerable success and note. Certain industries i Ibid.. XI, (January, 1831)^ p. 1. 55 Ibid.. XIII, (January, 1832), p. 106. 28 entrusted the Institute with an appropriation of money raised for the advancement of certain branches of the industry. A sum of one hundred and twenty dollars was placed with the Institute to encourage competition on stoves and grates for the use of anthracite. Of this fund, one hundred dollars was awarded at the 1831 exhibit. Further evidence of con fidence in these exhibitions was shown by the City Councils , of Philadelphia when they appropriated the sum of one hundred dollars to the Institute to be awarded to the successful competitor on street lamps.2^ A full account of the wares which were deposited at the 1831 exhibition was published in pamphlet form. The reports and remarks of the Committee on Exhibitions and Premiums were printed in full in the Journal and again show the advance in American manufacture. The display of cotton prints was sufficient to prove that that branch of cotton manufacture was steadily improving and was beginning to rival the production in foreign markets. The establishments of Andrew Robison, Everett and Goddard, the Merrimac, Taunton, Fall River, and Eagle Print Works all exhibited calicoes of which Andrew Robison's concern received the premium for the fineness, coloring and general elegance of their product.22 54 Ibid.. pp. 106-107. 55 Ibid.. p. 7 8, 29 Cambrics of Joseph Ripka were equally admired. Samples of gingham from the manufactories of J. H. Hoe, Jno. Steel, and •Huster and Buchanan, however, were considered to be far behind those imported from abroad. The nankeens manufactured by Collet & Smith from cotton produced on the plantation of J. Forsyth of Georgia were examined with pleasure as were the samples of cotton hose made by the Newburyport Hose Manufacturing Company, the first of its kind to be exhibited in any quantity.2^ Because of the increasing interest which the Committee felt in the southern manufacturing establish ments, they were pleased to note and examine samples of blue brocatels from Virginia manufactured by the Cunningham & Anderson Company. The skill of Joseph Ripka was noted again in his display of cassimeres, cotton diapers, and fancy curtain muslins. About his work the Committee reported that his "skill and enterprise as a manufacturer of various descriptions of goods, are too well known to require any special notice from this committee.”27 Mr. Ripka also exhibited a one-piece green summer cloth, cotton and worsted, which was the only imitation of the English product of this description which had been attempted at that time. 28 5^ Ibid.. p. 79. 57 Ibid.. p. 80. 58 Ibid.. p. 82. 30 American manufacture of woolens were also entered in the display. The white gauze flannels manufactured by J. and T. Kershaw of Blockley, Pennsylvania, were rated as be ing of the finest ever displayed up to that time in the United States. The only criticism which the Committee could make was that the material showed a rather bluish tinge in color which, it was suggested, should be obviated in the i future manufacture of the article. The variety of kinds and qualities of flannels displayed by the Salisbury Manufactur ing Company were said to be in every respect equal to the imported articles.29 The Brussels carpeting manufactured at Carlisle by Mr. Givan was entitled to a premium "being a handsome and durable article and entirely of American manufacture and ,materials.The Lowell Manufacturing Company would have received the premium but for the fact that their carpeting 'was not all an American product, the warp having been imported. Numerous premiums were given for improvements in various types of hardware, but there seemed to be nothing new offered in the way of stoves and grates since the Ibid., p. 8 3. Ibid.. p. 84. 31 previous exhibition. In 1832 the Committee on Premiums and Exhibitions , advised that the usual exhibition of domestic manufactures be postponed a year in view of the fact that apprehension was felt concerning the prevalence of a wide spreading epidemic in a neighboring city.^^ Renewed enthusiasm was evidenced in the eighth exhibit I which was held the first five days of October, 1833. The receipts at the door amounted to one thousand, three hundred■ and eighty-six dollars and twenty-six cents, showing that approximately eleven thousand persons paid admission. In addition to the paid visitors, there were the members of the Institute, depositors of goods, and persons permitted to be introduced by them. The total number was estimated as being fifty thousand p e o p l e .^2 This exhibition brought conclusive proof that most of the articles of manufacture necessary to the comfort, convenience, and even to the luxury of the American people could be produced by the skill and industry of the artisans of the United States. The Committee felt this situation offered a powerful addition to'the means of Ibid.. p. 8 8. 82 Ibid.. XIV, (July, 1832), p. 375. 85 Ibid.. XVI, (December, 1833), p. 383. 32 independence in America.Strangers who attended the dis- . plays would frequently Inquire whether the specimens sub mitted were those of American manufacture, doubting the ability of the country to produce the articles before them. The testimony which they carried to the various sections of the country attesting to American ingenuity was in many cases productive of useful results in exploding the prejudices of : many persons and providing the information and knowledge so sorely needed.® Another circumstance connected with this exhibition which was encouraging, was the evidence of the prosperity of the manufacturers which it displayed* There was an abun dance of variety in the articles shown. The number of speci mens exhibited in the eighth exhibition exceeded those shown in the previous year by one hundred and seventy-two. Sever al articles were shown in samples only because of the lack of facilities for adequate housing of these articles. The Committee made arrangements whereby an address would be delivered upon the occasion of the distribution of the premium awards by the Honorable Daniel Webster. Due to domestic circumstances, however, this address was not Ibid.. p. 384. 85 Ibid.. p. 3 8 5. 33 given. In the Committee reports which followed the exhibi tion, much information was given concerning the industrial development. The judges for the articles on the display of cotton goods commented that the specimens of novelties in this department were not numerous but the general appear ance and make of the various product indicated great improvement.® The inspection of the carpeting display showed an advantageous comparison with previous exhibitions.. The only improvement commented on was in the use of striking colors and shadings. The judges on woolen goods directed their attention particularly to the process of manufacturing rather than to the material out of which the goods was produced. They felt that the manufacturer who produced the best article from the same stock, or as good an article from an inferior stock, was best entitled to a premium award. The Wilton super blankets received a top rating from the Committee for the whiteness and fleecy character of the fabric.^^ Awards were given for lamps, steel and iron articles. Ibid.. XVII, (March, 1834), p. 299. ^7 Ibid.. XVII, (January, 1834), p. 19. Ibid.. p. 23. ; 34 pianos, and numbers of other articles. The number of premiums awarded were thirty-three and the extent of the certificates of honorary mention was forty-eight. Ho exhibit was planned in 1834 because it was felt that an advantage would be given to the manufacturer and mechanic by such an arrangement.7^ However, October of the next year, the ninth exhibit took place. The number of entries was not as great as in some of the previous years and the Committee attributed it to the uncommon prosperity of the manufacturing concerns. In many branches of industry, it was felt, the manufacturers had found themselves unable to keep pace with the growing demands.In summing up the value and success of this exhibition, the Managers in their 47th quarterly report stated: The exhibition of domestic manufactures by the Institute, held at the commencement of the present month, was entirely successful. The display of articles then exhibited, was such as to excite a thrill of pride in every patriotic bosom. Many of the specimens offered convincing proof that, in several departments of manufactures, our artisans are not behind those of any part of the world; and all displayed an improvement upon former years, strengthening the belief that, with proper encourage ment, the highest state of perfection may be attained in every branch.72 89 Ibid..

(December, 1855), p. 379. 35 The great value of these early exhibitions was univer sally recognized throughout the nation, and the medals grant ed by the judges were held in high esteem. The rewards offered to stimulate the ingenious and enterprising exerted a most favorable influence in the days when the nation was still in its infancy. They contributed to the founding and nurturing of new industries on American soil, to the sub stantial improvement of those that were already established, and to the development of the natural resources of our country. Historians who seek to trace the evidence of progress in the United States find in the records of these early exhibitions valuable information. "Ho history of manufac tures in the United States would be complete without refer ence to the work of the Franklin Institute. The branch of the Institute which illustrates the utilitarian spirit of the organization was the Committee on Science and Arts. Originally the group provided for by the Board of Managers was called the Board of Examiners whose duty it was to examine new machines and to submit reports concerning them. This organization continued in existence until 1834 when, by an act of the Institute, it became the Committee on Science and Arts. Membership in this committee 72 Hendrick, , pp. pit., p. 43. 36 was opened to any members of the Institute in good standing. Under this form, the committee continued for more than fifty years, leaving a long record of usefulness. The J ournal bears frequent testimony of the value, the work, and self- sacrifice of the individual members of the committee. For many years, Alexander Dallas Bache, the great grandson of Benjamin Franklin, headed this group and added to his I distinguished r e c o r d .74 The number of members increased. Among their numerous tasks was added the distribution of the John Scott Legacy Medal and premiums to men and women who had made useful Inventions. The Journal recorded the awards which were made beginning soon after February 27, 1834.75 Another proof of the practical endeavor on the part of the Institute can be found in the accounts of various public work activities. The first of these was the investigation of the various forms of water-wheels as a means of giving economical value to water power. Experiments on this subject were numerous and tabulations were made on almost every form of water motor then known. The January issue of the Journal for 1831 reported that the experiments were completed and the "^4 The Journal of the Franklin Institute, XIX, (March, 1835), pp. 176-177. 72 hoc, cit. 37 findings about to be p u b l i s h e d .76 This report was carried in full in the magazine for March, 1831.77 The next year a committee was formed to investigate the cause of explosions of steam boilers. Various kinds of metal were tested to determine those to be used in the con struction of steam boilers. The accounts of explosions were ; investigated and unlimited resources and time were given to i this work. The work was proposed by the Treasury of the United States and Congress appropriated the necessary funds to carry on the experiment.78 The facts which were ascer tained were utilized for the benefit of safety. The investi gations which appeared in the Journal contributed greatly to the manufacturers of steam machinery, architects and builders, These accounts were widely read, and for many years were regarded as the most authoritative source of information on the subject.79 At the request of the Legislature of Pennsylvania the Institute studied and reported on the system of weights and measures for the purpose of revising the then existing law 78 Ibid..

The accounts given in the earlyissues of the Journal note the increase ' in the number of additions made by gifts from various j members. By the founding of the Journal in 1826 a way was ! I opened whereby leading magazines and periodicals of a scien tific nature were exchanged for the Franklin Journal, hence increasing the number of additions for the library. i In 1831 the reading room was opened, and the library consisted of upwards of five hundred volumes. Among some of the valuable works at that time were The J ournal of the House of Representatives. from the first to the thirteenth Congress, inclusive and The Diplomatic Correspondencies of the American Revolution, edited by Jared Sparks.

CHAPTER II THE JOURNAL OF Tiffi FRANKLIN INSTITUTE I During the earliest years of the nineteenth century, American magazines appeared which were technical in nature, ' covering such subjects as agriculture, literature, and I fashions. Allied with these journals were those which were , designed for mechanics and manufacturers. One of the first ^ and greatest of these was the Journal of the Franklin Institute which began in Philadelphia in February, 1825,1 ! The publication of a journal for diffusing knowledge on all subjects connected with the useful arts was prominent in the plans of the founders of the Franklin Institute. The first step to obtain a desirable publication was taken by the founders early in 1825. Arrangements were made whereby ’ a mechanics magazine bearing the name The American Mechanics' Magazine was acquired by "Dr. Thomas P. Jones from C. S. Williams, publisher and founder in New York. In December, 1825, this body appointed Dr. Jones professor of Mechanics .and Natural Philosophy in the Franklin Institute. He began his duties in this capacity on January 4, I826, at which time he was placed in charge of the journal which was to be issued. I Frank Luther Mott, A History of American Magazines, 1741—1850, p . - 557 *— — ----— — - - —— — - ■ — — - — _ _ _ 4 1 1 He, therefore, merged his own periodical with that of the j Institute; the name becoming. The Franklin Journal and I t American Mechanics Magazine: Devoted to the Useful Arts, | Internal Improvements, and General Science,^ The first number under this title was issued in j January, 1826, at which time Dr. Jones assumed the full I responsibility of the magazine after he had received the assurance of cooperation and support from the members of the Institute.3 Beginning with the January issue of 1828, the I Journal became the property of the Franklin Institute. An account of the transaction is given in the Seventeenth Quarterly Report of the Board of Managers where it was reported as follows: Thé Franklin Journal which has hitherto been the sole property of the Professor of Mechanics, has by an agreement entered into with Dr. Jones, been assumed by the Institute, whilst the Editorship is secured to him, during his life. The terms upon which the trans fer has been made, are such as it is believed will tend to promote the Interests of both the parties con cerned, and is, therefore, likely to be lasting. Should this not prove to be the case, the Institute will, at the termination of the year, be at liberty to place the J ournal on its former footing.4 A new series was commenced with this issue, and the ^ Allen Johnson, Dictionary of American Biography, p. 202. 3 William H. Wahl, The Franklin Institute, p. 34. 4 The Journal of the Franklin Institute, V, (April, , p. 252. _ — _ — 42 ; name was changed to The Journal of the Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania: Devoted to the Mechanic Arts, Manufactures, General Science and the Recording of American _and Other Patented Inventions, The transaction was com- ipleted with "a view of more distinctly identifying the Journal with the Institute."3 The change was not fully effected, however, until the next year. A notice in the Journal informed the subscribers that "new title pages are furnished with this number, which the subscriber will please substitute in the place of those formerly issued, with the two volumes already published for the past year. This number, therefore, will commence the third volume of the new s e r i e s .”6 In 1836 the subtitle of the magazine was changed to read J ournal of the Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania; and Mechanics Register; Devoted to Mechanical and Physical Science, Civil Engineering, the Arts and Manu factures, and the Recording of American and Other Patented Inventions. The main title of the Journal has remained the same up to the present time with minor changes only in the subtitle. ^ Ibid.. VII, (January, I829), p. 73. ^ Ibid.. p. 80. 43 The prospectus of the original publication appeared on August, 1825. In it the object of the Journal was defined as being a magazine "to diffuse Information on every subject; connected with useful arts." The prospectus continues: ; The editor will freely avail himself of whatever has been published elsewhere; but he is determined, i at the same time, to give to the work a character truly American, With this in view, a particular description will be given of the various useful , Inventions and improvements made in our own country; • and in selecting articles from foreign works, those of course will be preferred which are more immediately ! applicable to the arts and the manufactures of the United States. A list of patented inventions will be given, accompanied with free remarks upon their ûtility and originality. Inventions either new or not generally known, will occupy a large portion of the work. It will also contain brief reviews of works, whether foreign or domestic, which treat on any of the use ful arts, descriptions of the productions of mechani cal genius, remarkable either for their magnitude or for the skill and patience manifested in their execution; biographical notices of individuals who have distinguished themselves by the improvement or pursuit of useful arts, exemplifications of the intimate connection which exists between science and skill in the mechanic arts, and of their dependence upon each other for the attainment to the utmost perfection of either.7 The Editor allowed space for the transactions of the Franklin Institute and planned to include abstracts from the j f lectures delivered at their meetings. He continued to explain in the prospectus that he 7 Wahl, o£. clt., p. 35* would be aided by bis colleagues lu the Institute, and that , be would not be sparing of either time or money In renderlngj the works as nearly perfect as possible. The Editor stated that be "is more anxious to make it useful than profitable, i and Is aware that If the latter quality is attained It must be through the medium of the former.”® The Initial number of the Franklin Journal was issued in January 1826 and Its long history of service began. At first the periodical was to have been a single sheet each week modeled after the Mechanics • Magazines which were pub- | ! 11 Shed In London, but It was soon deemed expedient to alter the plan, and the Franklin Journal became a monthly Instead j of a weekly magazine. Concerning this matter, the Editor In his address to the subscribers explained: He (the Editor) Is unwilling that this Journal should be a mere book of recipes and notices, a thing of shreds and patches. This would neither satisfy the Editor nor supply the wants of the Intelligent artisans and manufactures of country. Every number will contain a variety of processes In the mechanical and chymlcal arts; but it Is Intended also to Insert articles of general In terest, and of greater length than would be found convenient on a single sheet; It also designs to embrace a greater variety of topics than was first contemplated.9 The J ournal was published In an octave of slxty-^four pages which formed, annually, two volumes, January to June a Ibid., p. ^6. 9 Franklin Journal and American Mechanics» Magazine. I, (January, l&2b), p. 1. 45 and July to December. Each issue was separately paged and 'included a title page and index. ! Subscription to the magazine was at the rate of four dollars per annum, payable on the completion of the first I volume. Single copies were fifty cents each. Subscribers In the city were served by carriers, and those at more distant parts secured their copies by mall, or made other arrangements for their delivery. Advertisements relating to the mechanic arts were considered of enough value to be ; Included In the Journal, however, those were included very 'sparingly. The "usual terms” were charged for their Insertion.”10 The representation of models and charts are numerous I throughout the numbers of the Journal. An occasional ,frontesplece can also be found. In volume twenty a woodcut ’ engraved by a member of the Institute, Rueben S. Gilbert, ; representing a scene from Burns» celebrated poem "Tam 0»Shanter,” and copied from an engraving by Thomas Landseer 'was used.11 I Aid was eagerly solicited from the Intelligent mechanics and manufacturers. They were assured that although 1835), p. 1. Ibid.. pp. 1-2. The Journal of the Franklin Institute. XX, (June, 46 ■ they might not always be ready with the pen, their offerings , would be acceptable and "that the labour of revision when requisite, will be cheerfully performed."12 Those patentees| who wished to make their Inventions known through the ' Journal were expected to furnish the plates in all Instances, submit cuts. If necessary, and place the patent to examina- ! I tlon of the Journal staff to determine Its originality and | 'merit. In maintaining such a policy, the Journal did not refrain from giving their honest opinion, either of approval; lor disapproval. 1 3 5 This was a policy which was established at the outset of the venture. In regard to this. Dr. Jones ! stated: The Editor will willingly open his work to the discussion of every subject upon which it treats, in doing this, he will carefully avoid appearing as a partisan, but will act as a moderator, so far ; as to prevent his pages from being sullied by malev- ' olence, or offensive p e r s o n a l i t i e s .^4 : Considerable concern was given by the Editor in the i ; early volumes pertaining to the technical language which was I so often necessary in the explanation of scientific subjectsI The Franklin Journal and American Mechanics* Magazine. I, (January, 1826), p. 1. I Ibid.. pp. 1-2. Ibid.. p. 2. 47 He even proposed to accompany each volume with a vocabulary section to aid those persons whose "pursuits" were not literary. This plan was found to have many intrinsic diffl-. I culties as many of the technical words had no other words I . which were synonymous to It. The final plan devised was to include a section under the heading of "The Artisan" to give. I dissertations which would Include an explanation of the i I scientific terms which were employed. "We hope by this ’ plan," the Editor said, "to contribute largely to the diffusion of science among the operative class, to whom it is calculated to be eminently useful; and thus to aid in elevating them to that station, which from their numbers, ' I the value of their success, and the genius of our institu tions, they ought to occupy."15 During its early years, the aim of the Journal was to : reprint the most important articles and papers on scientific subjects which appeared in all countries. In the preface to , the first volume the Editor stated that originality was not ' I deemed to be of primary importance. He sought rather to ; select judiciously from foreign journals devoted to similar | objects as his Journal. Alluding to the same subject he expressed this policy again in the Preface to volume two. j 15 Ibid.. II, (July, 1826), Preface. 48 I We have recently received a large number of French Journals, devoted to the Science and Arts, and have marked many articles for translation or abridgement, which will appear in the early numbers of our next volume,15 This was not an unusual policy. All the magazines for this early period copied from one another and considered it somewhat in the realm of good advertising. Considerable , consternation resulted, however, when due credit was not ; given for various articles "borrowed" from other magazines, especially when the offending party was from Europe. Dr. Jones comments upon such a situation in the following account: I I The Edenburgh J ournal of Science, for April ( has copied from Newton* s Journal, a method of producing a fine black clour, originally pub lished in this Journal with remarks by the Editor. In this last version of the article, I all traces of the Franklin Journal are lost and the remarks of Its Editor, attributed to Mr. Newton, by name. We attach no great import ance to the article in question, nor do we sus pect that the change in its aspect has arisen from design, but entirely from inadvertence; still we are tenacious on this point, as from the state of things in this country, and in Europe, we draw largely upon their store of information, con tributing but little In return, and are therefore ; less willing to be deprived of our "one talent.”^» | The articles from original magazines were acknowledged by a brief announcement as "Silliman* s Journal" or "Journal 16 Ibid.. II, (July, 1826), Preface. The Journal of the Franklin Institute. IV, (July, 1827), p. 72. des Connais Usuelles." Material from about seventy periodi- ; cals, foreign and domestic, and newspapers were received in , exchange for the Journal and were thereby placed at the , disposal of members and the committee on publication. Those I magazines to which frequent acknowledgement was given in the Franklin J ournal included the "Boston Journal of Science" ■"Newton* s Journal," "London Journal of Arts and Sciences," i j "London Mechanic* s Magazine," "Recueil Industriel," "Journal Universel des Sciences Médicales,"Brewster * s Journal," "Edinburgh Journal," and many others. At that time transactions of learned societies and ,scientific publications from foreign countries were diffi cult to obtain. It is no wonder then that the digest of these articles as appeared in the Journal were of immense : importance to American Scientists. It placed at the disposal of men of research and those of practical mechanics, infor mation about discoveries and inventions which had taken place all over the world. It would have been impossible for these I men to have procured this information In any other way. It | Is not easily realized at the present time when one can con sult the scientific publications of many countries in a dozen societies or public libraries that until about the year of 1865 one was obliged to subscribe In order to obtain the ■ 50 information desired. Not many numbers of the J ournal appeared, however, until the Board of Managers began urging the members of the Institute to contribute more original articles. The Fifth Annual Report of the board solicited the concern of each of the members for the welfare of the Journal the property of the Institute by saying: Thus the Journal becomes identified with the Institute, and it behooves all those who take an Interest in its property, to assist in the support I of their Journal, not merely in a pecuniary way, by subscribing, but intellectually, by lending their aid to increase the interest in Its pages. Such a work coming from an institution bearing so high a character as the Franklin Institute, ought ' not to depend on foreign journals for matter to fill its pages. It Is never to be expected that an editor can furnish matter for a periodical, from his own pen, and that the work, heretofore, maintained the character of originality, is our fault, not his. The board confidently calls on the Institute to make this work what It ought to be, an original work of the highest standard. Every step of its advancement tends to shed lustre on the institution that produced It. Let it be the Journal of the Franklin Many of the members of the Institute accepted the challenge laid before them, and original articles began to make their way gradually onto the pages of the Journal. The progress was slow, however, and In several numbers of the Ibid.. OTI, (April, 1833), PP. 253-254. 19 Ibid.. IX, (January, 1830), p. 75. 51 I magazine, notices from the Board of Managers urged members 'of the Institute to assume responsibility in the publication of the Journal. To aid in this venture, the Institute was able to offer a "liberal" compensation to those authors who contri buted their communications to the Journal.^0 The amount of I the remuneration was not specifically mentioned in the pages of the Journal, but it must have been sufficient to attract | many new original articles. By the end of the year of 1855, the volumes for that period contained over half of the material as original con tributions. The exact number of pages that were listed as original for the year just mentioned were four hundred and : : ninety-five. The total number of pages in the entire volume consisted of eight hundred and seventy-two.The Gommittee, on Publications of the Institute found it necessary in January, 1856, to omit many selections which had been pre pared for the number because of the press of the original matter which presented Itself for publication.^^ This situation did not Improve, and as other volumes , Ibid.. XIII, (January, 1832), p. 107. Ibid.. XVII, (March, 1834), p. 228. Ihld.. XXI, (January, 1836), p. 71. 52' were printed, the need for added space became more and more apparent. In the twelfth annual report of the Board of Managers the following statement was made concerning an ■ ; ;Increase in the size of the Journal which was contemplated in the Immediate future; The extentlon alluded to, mechanics will be | furnished with more of the elementary matter they have desired than heretofore, while those who are i devoted to scientific pursuits, will receive a ■ full account of the progress of science here and abroad. In order to enable the Editor and the Committee on Publica tions to carry this change Into effect, the size of the Journal was enlarged so that one sixth more matter would be furnished to the subscribers. No extra charge was made for this addition. The Board commented, "The Institute, It is 'hoped, will be remunerated for additional expense, by the Increase of patronage which this arrangement will o b t a i n . "24 In Increasing the size of the Journal much was done to secure a pattern of form and order for the publication. Articles were published under the general divisions of Practical and Theoretical Mechanics, Civil Engineering, | Physical Science, Institute meetings and reports, and the Mechanics* Register in which was recorded the list of , Ibid.. XXI, (March, I836), p. 192. Ibid.. pp. 192-193. 55 'American patents. The new arrangement of the Journal seemed to be favorable. Matthias M. Baldwin reported in the forty-ninth quarterly report, that "the new plan adopted for the J ournal ! of the Institute has met with considerable success." The main additions were original selected articles on Physical Science, as was quickly noted and appreciated.^5 Subscribers to the magazine were not numerous in the early years of the publication. The members of the Insti tute 'Were constantly reminded of their responsibility toward the Journal, and subscription to the periodical was stress ed innumerable times. "Members should not lose sight of the fact that amusement is so frequently preferred to instruc- ' tlon, that the circulation of such a periodical requires effort on the part of the friends of true s c i e n c e . "26 The only figures given for the actual number of sub scribers in any one year were recorded for the year of 1851. "The net increase of subscribers does not exceed 88, but it is hoped that by due exertions a larger accession will be obtained." No statistics are given concerning a grand total of subscribers for any period covered In this paper, but Ibid.. XXI, (March, 1836), p. 402. 26 Ibid.. XIX, (March, 1835), p. 175. 54 ^ mention is made several times in the periodical concerning ’subscriptions. The two following remarks taken from the Journal are typical of the notices which appeared concerning this topic: I I The Board have great pleasure In announcing to the Society, that the list of subscribers to the Journal Is rapidly increasing.^» The Board feels constrained to state that it j (the Journal) does not yet experience a patronage ; by any means commensurate with Its merits.2o Considerable space was given to the affairs of the | ; Institute in the pages of the Journal. Even before the 'Institute assumed the full responsibility of the publication, this was the case. The quarterly reports of the Board of Managers and also their annual reports were printed In full. These accounts have left an unlimited source of information ,concerning the historical record of the organization, show- Ing the difficulties and progress that was made throughout the formative years. Each of the various standing committees j I of the Institute gave notice of Its activities. The Com- i mlttee on Publications recorded the views of the Institute 1 concerning the Journal and showed by the entries in the work the earnest endeavor of its members to make the publication ; Ibid.. XX, (September, 1855), p. 155. Ibid.. XXIII, (February, 1857), p. 132. 55 the best In its class. The Committee on Inventions was given space to comment on the ingenuity of the devices ,which were constantly being paraded before them. The various experiments and projects commenced and concluded by the mem bers of the Institute at the request of the National and I ! State Governments were given extensive entries on the pages ,of the Journal. The sheets of the magazine were also filled; with remarks on the causes of the many explosions in steam ! engines, the value of water as a moving power, and the find ings of the committee on weights and measures. The Franklin Institute was proud of work of these committees, and felt that the publishing of the results of these investigations would bring about profit and aid to others interested in the| endeavors.. The Journal hence became the chief instrument through which the activities of the Institute were known in , America and in foreign countries. The Committee on Publica tions in June, 1835$ endeavoring to promote more extensive I interest in the publication, mentioned the rating which the : periodical had abroad by stating; A large portion of the time of the Committee on Publications, has been industriously devoted ! to the Improvment of the Journal,* and its high reputation, not only throughout our own country, but also in Europe, should, in the opinion of the Board, induce the members of the Institute, the ' public generally, more extensively to encourage 56 ! and patronize It.29 [ Many articles of interest on various subjects appear ed on the pages of the Journal during the years from 1826 to' I 1856. Considerable enthusiasm was shown toward the condi- ;tion of the nation in regard to internal improvements. ; Reports on the progress of steam carriages and locomotives iwere numerous. Some examples of articles written on these 1 : I subjects were, "On the Power to propel Carriages on Rail roads, compared with that for moving boats in Canals," by iJames P. E s p y ;50 "An Account of the Performance of Various ,Rail-road and Carriages on the Liverpool and Manchester : R a i l - r o a d ; " 5 T and "Report on Steam Carriages by a Committee ' of the House of Commons of Great BritIan with the Minutes ■ of Evidence, and Appendix, Reprinted by the order of the House of Representatives of the United S t a t e s . "52 competition between the "Novelty" and the "Rocket" locomo- 1 tives was also given space in the Journal. The engine j called the Pennsylvania, which was invented by Colonel S. H. Long, of the United States Army, received several notices Ibia.. XIX, (June, 1835), p. 388. Ibid.. IX, (February, I830), pp. 140-142. Ibid.. IX, (February, 1830), pp. 186-210. Ibid., XIV, (March, 1832), pp. I67-I8O. 57 ■in the magazine. Description of the engine was clearly given and an account of its operation on the Germantown rail road was cited.55 The extract from the Report of Benjamin Wright, Esq; Civil Engineer, who was appointed by the iGovernor to survey the route of the New York and Erie Rail- : road was written in considerable length.54 The interest of ■ I the nation and more particularly men of science and mechan- • : i ,ics in the railroad and its progress and problems was in evidence in each volume of the Journal as covered in the period of this paper. Matthias W. Baldwin, who was well known for his locomotives works In Philadelphia, was active in the affairs of the Institute, as were others closely affiliated with the railroad industry. Canal navigation and building also captured the atten tion of many writers of the Franklin Journal. This enter prise was coming into prominence during this period as well, and canals were being built as an improved means of trans- i portation. A. D. Bache, Professor of Natural Philosophy and^ Chemistry of the University of Pennsylvania and a most active member of the Institute wrote an article entitled, "Experiments Made on the Navigation of the Chesapeak and Ibid.. XVI, (August, 1833), PP. 10-11. 54 Ibid.. XX, (May, 1835), pp. 358-364. 38 Delaware Canal by Steam." He introduced his article by say-' ing, "The great importance of applying steam to the naviga- I tion upon canals, has not failed to strike those interested in this mode of internal communication."55 Mr. Bache report ed at considerable length; four experiments in all, and con cluded by saying, "The result of the experiments made on the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, seem to me to go far to j remove, entirely, such doubts In relation to the larger class of c a n a l s . "56 Notices were made of companies who received charters allowing them to construct canals, and articles concerning the causes of explosions of the steam boats were numerous. "A friend of internal improvement" sent an arti cle for publication regarding a new map of Maryland,57 and the subject of road building received attention when Mr. John S. Williams, engineer of the Maysville and Lexington turnpike for a period of three and a half years, made an offer to publish "A Practical Treaties on M*Adamized Roads Together with General Observations on the Best Modes of Making and Improving Other R o a d s .

XV, (March, 1833), pp. 215-216. 59 1 Id the realm of the physical sciences there was an abundance of material on display for the readers of the magazine. James P. Espy contributed a host of articles written about various phases of weather, particularly con cerning the action of storms. Dr. Espy later became an authority on this phase of science and won national recogni tion for his work.59 In 1831$ the Journal began publication^ of meteorological observations. The eighth annual report of the Board of Managers stated: The Journal has been enriched this year by the publication of meteorological observations; a sub ject, which has been heretofore unattended to, but which in the present state of science, should not be neglected. These are Interesting, as it is believed that there are very few meteorological tables regularly published at this time in the United States.4u These tables were published regularly in the Journal with only an occasional delay in the appearance of the report for any month as was noted in the February issue for 1855 where this entry is made: "By accident, the meteorological table for December has not been received in time to appear in the present n u m b e r .*'4l other articles cited as examples of interest in the physical sciences are, "The History of Ibid..

Various members of the Institute examined scientific books and magazines and wrote their criticisms of the work. From the titles of some of these publications which were examined by these men, much can be learned about the scientific books which appeared during this period. "The American Almanac and Repository of Useful . Knowledge for the Year 1855” published by Gray and Brown, received favorable comment as did the appearance and review of the first "Naval Magazine," edited by C. S. Stewart.^® Not all books were reported on with zeal, however, as is shown in a work written by Timothy Flint entitled Lectures Ibid., XXI, (September, 1856), pp. 166-172. ^5 Ibid..

B, 0., said regard ing this book: The author of these lectures has become favor ably known to the literary world by the information which he has given respecting the valley of the Mississippi; as well as some other subjects, and it Is regretted that he should have risked the portion | of fame which he had acqhired by the attempt to give instruction upon the subjects of which he is so grossly ignorant,4o Natural Philosophy and History received a more promi nent place in the early Issues of the Journal than it did in some of the later numbers. This was probably due to the fact that the magazine became filled to over-flow with original articles and material which could not be withheld from the subscribers. Such articles as "The Common 0*possum,"^9 **The B e a v e r , "50 ^nd "Notes on the Rattlesnake"51 which appeared in the earlier numbers found no place in the later issues. Ibid..

Johnson, the principal of the High School of the Franklin Institute wrote one for publication in volume six which in many aspects could "have been written by educa tors of a more recent vintage. This report has become some what famous and reflects the far-sighted approach of the members and early contributors in the Franklin Institute, Aj few excerpts from his report are given to bear out the pre vious statement: Distant nations look to America, to set the example of abolishing those odious monopolies in learning, which have for ages closed the career of generous competition against ninety-nine hundredths of mankind. Self improvement by active exertion Is ever to be preferred to the passive reception of knowledge from others,52 When the Franklin Journal was first established, it was intended among other objects, as may be seen in the prospectus, to embrace the patents of the United-States, The Editor in the first volume of the magazine announced that arrangements had been made for obtaining from Washington a list of all the new patents which were issued, and that these lists would be published in the Journal. He also promised specifications of those patents which would be deemed useful. 52 Ibid,. pp. 56-67. 65 'and complete or selected lists of patents granted in E n g l a n d ,55 The persistent effort exerted by certain indi viduals in the Institute, to insure the inclusion of these listings in the magazine was indeed a credit to the tenacity of these early members. In retrospect, it would seem that from the moment that the intention of the Institute was announced, the government would have hastened to offer its cooperation. The opposite, however, proved to be true. Dr, William Thornton, who was the head of the Patent Office at that time, proved to be very suspicious of the newly created organization. He denied the original request for copies of the specifications and blocked the efforts of subsequent attempts to obtain them. The account of the struggle to obtain the patent listings and specifications is given in an article which appears in the Journal for January, 1949.^^ The Institute was organized on February 5$ 1824, and on March 6, of the same year, the Corresponding Secretary, the Honorable Peter A, Browne, wrote the following letter to William Thornton: The Franklin Journal and American Mechanics* Magazine, I, (January, 18267, p. 57. The Journal of the Franklin Institute, CCXLVII, (January, 1949) / PP* ' 64 Sir, A number of mechanics and others of the city have associated themselves together for the pur pose of diffusing scientific and useful informa tion among the valuable class of the community and particularly among the rising generation. Their plan embraces an examination into and fair trials of all new Inventions. It would, therefore, be highly useful to them to obtain the earliest and most accurate information relative to all patents taken out in Europe and this country. With this object in view, I have it in charge from the managers to inquire from you the most favourable terms upon which It can obtain copies of all patents hereafter issued out of your office. We do not want certified copies, but the most Informal ones that can be taken, provided they are correct. As our object is Intimately connected with the public good we have flattered ourselves that our Infant institution, whose funds are yet low, will be liberally treated by a gentleman of your known patriotism and public spirit and that you will furnish us with the required information upon as reasonable terms as possible.55 This request was answered a few days later by stating that in the opinion of Dr. Thornton, he was at liberty to give only the copies of those patents which had expired and any who had not expired, if the consent of the patentee could first be obtained. The Superintendent felt that he was under "honorary obligation to protect the i n v e n t o r s . "56 Mr. Browne was convinced of the erroneous thinking on 55 Ibid.. p. 1. 56 Ibid.. p. 2. 65 the part of the Superintendent of Patents, but he wished to avoid any controversy with an officer of the Federal Govern-; ment. While the matter remained In this state, the Secre tary of the Institute was shown a letter from William P. Elliott, a clerk in the Patent Office which was written to Edward Clark of Philadelphia In which an offer was made to supply copies of the patents at eight cents per hundred words. Mr. Browne also learned that permission had been allowed by Mr. Adams and that a Mr. Little of Washington had been In the practice of receiving such copies. Contact was again made with Dr. Thornton, In the form! I of a letter In which Mr. Browne said In parts The occasion of troubling you again on this subject is that we entertain a hope that upon more mature reflection and especially after con sulting the Secretary of State, you will have found reason to change that opinion.5T No reply was received from this letter. Mr. Browne became incensed and sent a sharp note to the Superintendent and asked him whether he was "under an honorary obligation not to answer a gentleman* s communication on public b u s i n e s s . "58 The tardy reply was dated almost two weeks later and con tained an elaborate explanation of the délày and also 57 Ibid.. p. 3. Ibid., p. 4. 66 reiterated his refusal to grant the requested copies. In the meantime, the Secretary of the Institute be came tired of waiting and wrote directly to John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State, requesting him to intervene on behalf of the Institute. Mr. Adams also ignored the request. In March, 1825, Mr. Browne wrote to Henry Clay, the new Secretary of State, and another to Mr. Adams, who had by,, that time become the President of the United States. He reviewed the entire case and asked for aid. Henry Clay then replied by sending a copy of an opinion rendered by William Wirt, the Attorney General, on the matter, Mr. Wirt con cluded his remarks by saying: But while I should hold it equally proper to furnish copies for a purpose thus expressly authorized by law, I should hold it equally proper to refuse them not only where there was reason to suspect or even fear that the purpose might be fraudulent toward the patentee, but where without such fraudulent purpose, the dis closure might be injurious to the fair Interests of the patentee, as in the case of patent medi cines, put by the superintendent.59 Instead of accepting defeat on receiving this opinion, Mr. Browne lost no time in enlisting the aid of two of the nation*s most eminent lawyers, Horace Binny and John Sergeant. After these two men had reviewed the facts of the case, they rendered an opinion which clearly noted the fallacies in the 59 Ibid.. p. 4. 67 'former line of reasoning. The recognition of a universal right to copies of such specification, is we think a matter of necessary implication from the proviso to the 11th section. It admits that persons may require éuch copies...it implies that they may obtain them...and it interposes no condition but the payment of a certain fee. That some persons have the right; can not be questioned. What is there in the terms of the act, or in its reason or spirit, to confine the right to certain persons, or to make any officer of j the government a judge or tribunal for ascertaining i who those persons are? The terms of the act are ; clearly without limitation. The person obtaining a copy, is so far as the language of the act concerned, ; any person who requires the copy and pays the fee; ; ■ for although the former part of the section speaks ! of the inventor, yet, independent of the fact that he possesses his description or specifications annexed to or contained in the Patent which is given ! to him for his thirty dollars and therefore Is not likely to require a particular provision for another, the language of the proviso does not speak of the inventor, but of the person obtaining...and this ' change of language shows that some person not the inventor was intended. The opinion continued on at considerable length and was very; definite in upholding the views of the Franklin Institute in , requesting copies of specifications for publication. Henry Clay held the opinion of these two men in such ^high regard that he reconsidered the matter. On September 12, 1825, he dispatched a letter to Peter Browne stating ,that he felt that the Franklin Institute had a right to obtain copies from the Patent Office. The only condition 1 which he stipulated in granting the request was that a fee 60 .Ibid. p . -6. 6 8 j of twenty cents for every copy sheet of one hundred words be paid.®^ On September 26th of the same year, the Institute 1 availed itself of their newly secured right for specifica- I tions for a patent taken out by Messrs. Charles Cooper and ! Abraham Justin for an improvement In making Iron hoops for j carriage wheels. The success In winning a favorable decision over a I ■ point Involving the main principle of the future publica tions was Indeed Important to the magazine as well as to the future citizens of the United States. Without the free interchange of Ideas and knowledge of things already patented, much of the technical leadership which became synonymous with America would not have been. The actual appearance of the patents in the Journal commenced with March 11 through April 12 of 1826. The notices In the early issues appeared only In the form of brief listings. These listings were not always complete due to the fact that the lists were not received regularly from the Patent Office. The Institute also felt It more desirable to receive lists from the Office which expressed more fully the object of each patent. Both of these-diffi culties, It was felt, could not be eliminated until more Loc. cit. Loc. clt. 69 help was given in the Patent Office with the employment of more clerks.It was difficult too for the Editor who resided in Philadelphia to make the proper selection of specifications to be included in the volumes of his work. He was also in no position to comment and remark upon the patents as he had little material to examine from which he could formulate his opinions.The patent listings, there-j fore, for the early years 1826 and 1027 were not as complete as might have been hoped* In April, 1828, Dr. Jones was appointed to serve as Superintendent of the United States Patent Office. This necessitated, of course. Dr. Jones * moving to Washington. As he also remained Editor of the Journal, he had an excellent opportunity to examine all patents for the benefit of the readers of the Franklin Journal. In an article which appeared in the magazine an nouncing the acceptance of the Editor as Superintendent, the future position of the Journal was explained: The only change which this will make in the publication of the Journal, will be highly fav ourable to it; as a valuable mass of information is there placed at the disposal of the Editor, which will enrich his work and put into the hands of the public the most Important fruits of that mechanical genius for which our country is so Franklin Journal and American Mechanics' Magazine. Ill,(June, 1827), p. Ï29. Ibid., p. 429. 70 , eminently distinguished. Many useful inventions will thus become generally known, and their authors often be essentially benefitted, by having rescued from obscurity, or oblivion, those productions of their skill, to which they are frequently without^ the means of calling the attention of the public. soon as Dr. Jones assumed his duties in the Patent Office, he began planning and selecting the patents to be j included with full specifications. For the first two months j after his appointment, he chose only those that did not need the aid of an engraver and promised graphic illustrations i for the future numbers. These listings were published with the appropriate specifications in the pages of the Journal for a considerable period, 1826 to 1859* There was an | interruption in this stream of publication concerning these I listings with the destruction of the Patent Office by fire in 1856. The members of the Institute were quick to notice the importance of this event upon the Journal. Matthias W. Baldwin, chairman of the Committee on Publications expressed his views on the subject in this brief notice: It may perhaps be deemed worthy of notice, that since the destruction of the Patent Office, the only authentic records of American patents, other than those in possession of the patentees themselves, are to be found in the volumes of this Journal. Several months were completely omitted because of the fire. J our nal of the Franklin Institute. V, (May, 1828), p. 5SÔ* 66 Ibid,. XXIII, (February, 1857)» P. 152. --- 71 Dr. Jones explained that the specifications and lists which he was about to publish were in a desk drawer in the Patent Office at the time of the conflagration, and that they per ished along with the other items of value.Hotice of the resumption of the publication of these lists appeared in the October issue of the J ournal for 1837* This inventory has become recognized as the only source available at present for the specifications and claims of patents issued by the United States, from 1828 to 1842, because too, the official publications prior to 1843 did not include the claims of the patentees. In this respect, also, the Journal can be used in place of the official publications as a source of refer ence to patents granted during the entire period from 1826 to 1859.^® The policy of the Journal in publishing these patents was interesting in that the remedies and patent medicines were not published in full. There was nothing to prevent individuals from copying the specification and practicing using the patent in secret. The point of view concerning this practice changed with the law of 1836. Dr. Jones made the following comment appertaining to this situation: 67 Ibid., XXIII, (January, 1857), p. 22. 68 Ibid.. GXXX, (July, 1890), p. 4. 72 I The number of patents hereafter issued for ; quack medicines, will under the operation of the ; existing law, be much diminished, and, perhaps, it would be for the public benefit, could they be entirely cut off from sanction of an exclusive right; but this cannot be done in all cases. Were compounds substantially the same with those known to the practicing Physician, are attempted to be patented, they will, of course, be excluded, but they must be granted when the compound appears to possess novelty, and is not manifestly of such a nature as to produce public injury; the Journal, however, will fully make known every recipe for a patent medicine, accompanied by such remarks as may appear just and proper. 69 The enumeration of patents was given several months after the date of Issuance throughout the years in the Journal. The reasons for doing so were two-fold. In the first place, foreign countries did not grant patents for inventions the description of which had been previously published. The arrival, therefore, of the J ournal in England or France, one day before the sealing of a patent would have destroyed the grant and caused the loss of the large fee which had been paid into the office. This would have been reason suffici ent enough to have made the policy justifiable. The Editor, however, felt also that the comments which he was in the habit of making would influence public opinion and in some cases interfere with the inventor's opportunity to give his improvement a proper test.70 Ibid.. XXIV, (October, 1837), p. 328. 70 Ibid.. XXIV, (November, -1837), P. 328. 13 The success of the magazine should for a great part be credited to Thomas P. Jones, the Editor of the Journal. Very little is known about his early life, except that he was born in Herefordshire County, England, in 1774, and as a young man emigrated to the United States where he settled in Newborn, Horth Carolina. Later he went to New York City where he became associated with C. S. Williams in publishing the American Mechanic's Magazine. In December, 1825, he was appointed Professor of Mechanics and Natural Philosophy in the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia. At the same time, he was placed in charge of its journal, with which he merged his own. Dr. Jones received the appointment to the position of the Superintendent of the United States Patent Office in Washington on April 12, 1828. At the meeting of the Institute held the same month, the managers expressed their appreciation of Dr. Jones' services by appointing him editor of the Journal for life.71 By being appointed to two posi tions which could be so easily correlated. Dr. Jones did a fine service for both the Institute and the Patent Office of the United States. He enhanced the pages of the Journal of the Institute by supplying it with patent accounts, and he placed a permanent record of these same recordings for the IMd.. GXXX, (July, I890), p. 4. 74 'government of the United States. Dr. Jones received the appointment to this position under Henry Clay, Secretary of State, and remained in this exact position only a short time. In 1829, he was trans ferred to the Bureau of Archives, Laws and Commissions in the same department. This position he held until the Patent Office was reorganized in 1836 at which time he was made Examiner of patents, a post which he was well qualified to fill, having inspected patent specifications for a consider able number of years. At the time that the Doctor was made Examiner of Patents, he was sixty-four years of age. He remained in the Patent Office only two years longer, and resigned his post on December 22, 1838. He continued to reside, however, in Washington during the remainder of his life and devoted him self to the work of the J o u r n a l .72 The versatility of the talents of Dr. Jones can easily be seen in every issue of the Journal. In the earliest numbers of the Journal are found his extensive acquaintance with scientific articles and information which were pub lished in England and the Continent, which was so important in making the Franklin J ournal of such high esteem in those Ibid.. p. 5. 75 early days. His understanding of the patents recorded for England and France helped to secure a record for those in America who were interested in the progress of inventions in foreign countries. In some of the early numbers, he published several articles under the general heading of ^Modern Antiques.** The purpose of the articles, he said, was to "show the disposi tion of our remote ancestors to deprive us of the honor of being the true and original inventors."75 Another article appeared in 1835 on the question of whether certain trades were injurious to the health and morals of the worker.74 Dr. Jones spent considerable time to the affairs of patent legislation for the aid of the inventors. Peter A. Browne wrote a series of articles on "Mechanical Jurisprudence"75 upon which the Editor commented favorably. He encouraged the continuance of these articles and gave credit to Mr. Browne in the sixth volume of the Journal. Numerous applications are made at the Patent Office for information respecting the mode of taking out pat ents, and the tenure by which they are held; to ans wer these inquiries the subjoined directions have been Ibid..

The points which have been noticed, are those to which these inquiries ordinarily relate; and it will be seen by those who have been attentive readers of this Journal, that for much of the information given, the editor is indebted to the essays on patent law, written by his friend, P. A. Browne, E s q . ...76 The Editor presented many court cases involving important patent principles and published the modifications of the Patent laws as they were altered by Congress. One of the most interesting contributions, however, that was made by Dr. Jones, was his remarks upon the hun dreds of patents which he reviewed. His keen knowledge of scientific and technical matters was very pronounced and much in evidence. In the early years of the Journal, his remarks were rather brief and very factual, but as he pro gressed in his work of patent reviewing, he became more discouraged by the number of useless patents which were issued. His remarks and comments in many cases were very sarcastic. Many examples of the manner in which he reminded the inventor of the worthlessness of the article patented could be cited. A few of the more typical ones are: Should we ever build a saw mill we shall care fully avoid the combination above described, for although we are as ignorant of the forbidden por tion of it as the disciples of Mohomet are of the unclean part of a hog, we shall still be safe. 7^ The Journal of the Franklin Institute, VI, (November, I82 8), p . 351* 77 because we will never employ a pendulum to drive a drum, to drive a strap, to drive a pully.. Imagine a common old fashioned pencil case con taining a small tube, instead of a black lead pen cil; let this tube be open at both ends, the lower end terminating in a point, like a cut pencil, with a slip admitting ink to flow through it. Fill the tube with ink, place cork in the upper opening and you have the whole establishment. Fountain pens have frequently been made but usually much less simple than that now offered. If carried in the pocket, it ought to be in that of a black man, with a black dress, as in this case it will produce little change in either color of skin or of the clothes. Whenever the tube is warmed, the expansion of air will force the ink out, and where it is cold the ink will retire from the point and refuse to run.7° There were not many who challenged the remarks made by Dr. Jones, and from a study of the existing patent laws which did not make examinations of intended patents neces sary, his observations were right and his comments in order. One letter, however, which the Editor received in 1830 questioned the sagacity of Dr. Jones* remarks concerning a patent issued to Benjamin M. Smith of Rochester, Monroe County, New York on November 20, 1829. The letter was written by Mr. J. Doolittle of Benington, Vermont, who had observed a steamboat on a canal in which Benjamin Smith* s invention was said to be used. Mr. Doolittle explained his view point in the following words: Ibid.. X, (June, 1830), pp. 121-122. Ibid.. X, (July, 1830), p. 50. 78 I had only time to see the wheels, and you may judge of my surprise when I found that, in the inclination of the buckets, and in the angle which the axes of the wheels formed with the plane of the keel, they were exact facsirailies, or rather, per haps, exact phototypes (for they were probably made first) of the wheels invented by Mr. Jacob Perkins, and described in the above number of the Journal.79 Mr. Doolittle continued his letter by stating the comments of the Editor on each of the above mentioned patents. There is nothing, however, in the editor's notice of Smith's patent which can induce the belief that he thinks the invention entitled to the least consider ation, or respect,^ on the contrary, he says, 'wheels of the above kind have been patented, tried, and abandoned, long since*, while in speaking of an exactly similar contrivance by Mr. Perkins, he says, * should the advantage of the present paddle wheel be, in its amount but one-half equal to the ingen uity manifested in its construction, we think it will be.the best, by far, which has yet been pro posed* The point contested by Mr. Doolittle was that Mr, Smith's invention came first and was hardly received at all by the Editor, while Mr. Perkin's work was commented on favorably. Mr.,Doolittle inferred that one received approval because he was well known in scientific circles, while the other was not known and therefore, did not receive the full value for his work. In answer to this accusation, the Editor published Ibid.. X, (October, I830), pp. 309-313. 80 Ibid.. p. 31 3. 79 the full specifications of these patents and continued in some further remarks to point out that these two patents were not the same. He made it clear to the reader that if Mr. Smith had in operation such an invention on his steam boat it was not because of any patent of his but because of the fact that he had used the one issued to Mr. Perkins. His comment concerning the charge of partiality he stated: Whether the animadversions made in this J ournal have been tinctured with partiality, let some of our friends tell whose inventions have passed under review, and whether such has been the fact in the case before us will soon appear. After the Editor had discussed the matter fully, he con cluded by saying that he believed that Mr. Doolittle's letter was dictated by "homest Indignation" of a supposed neglect and as accounts were squared he would "leave off as we commenced, good friends. It may truly be said that Dr. Jones was familiar with almost every branch of mechanics, natural philosophy, phys ics, and chemistry. As editor he always was ready to re ceive and encourage genuine inventions. He did much for the inventor of this early period and gave a place of recogni tion to those whose work was deserving.

CHAPTER III THE ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF PATENT LAWS In order to understand the early patents as they are recorded and commented on in the Journal, it is necessary to make a study of the patent history that corresponds with the period considered. The numerous patents recorded for this early period reflect the laxity of patent inspection on the part of the Patent Office of the United States under the order of the early laws. Foremost among the causes of the stimulation of in vention and industrial growth was the Patent System of the United States itself. The patent organization of our coun try developed in the period covered in this paper proved to be a strong and efficient office. The laws enacted extend in letter and spirit with few modifications up to the present time to become a unique part of the American govern ment. The subject of protecting and encouraging inventions and writings was felt of sufficient importance to be consid ered among the many weighty matters which occupied the attention of the members of the Constitutional Convention. The individual members were aware of the efforts of the in ventors in their various states to secure protection and encouragement in their work from the State Legislatures. 81 On August 18, 1787> James Madison of Virginia and Charles Pinckney of South Carolina both submitted proposals concern ing the powers to be reposed in the new governmental author ity regarding the protection of the inventors. The proposi tions presented by these two men were submitted to the committee on detail of which James Madison was a member. On Wednesday, September 1787> Mr. Brearley reported for this group concerning a clause relating to copyrights and patents. There was no debate on the matter in the Conven tion, and it was evident that no controversy arose over it. This clause received unanimous approval and was adopted on the same day.^ It became paragraph eight of Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution of the United States which reads: Congress shall have power to promote the pro gress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited time to authors and inventors the ex clusive rights of their respective writings and discoveries.^ Hot long after the first Congress met in New York and organized itself for business, the House of Representa tives was confronted with petitions for exclusive rights in ^ P. J. Federico, "Outline of the History of the United States Patent Office." Journal of the Patent Office Society, XVIII, (July, I836), pp. 55-5ÊT ^ Constitution of the United States, Article 1, Section 8. 82 writings and inventions. On April 15, 1789> David Ramsey asked for the copyright for two of his books, A Hi story of South Carolina and A History of the American Revolution. John Churchman sought exclusive right to sell charts, maps, tables, and spheres for explaining the principles of magnet ic variation according to methods which he had invented. Mr. Churchman also asked for the patronage of Congress to enable him to make a voyage to Baffin* s Bay for the purpose of studying magnetic variation. These were referred to a committee of three who reported favorably on the copyrights but adversely on the proposed voyage. During the session, a total of about eighteen petitions for individual bills was received. This increase in number of petitions for patents and copyrights made it apparent that neither Congress nor the inventors could be burdened with the tedious and un certain action of an individual law to be enacted for each case. Therefore, a committee was appointed to consider the problem and to propose a solution. On June 23, 1789y such a bill was reported by Mr. Huntington, but the session of Congress expired before any final action could be taken on the matter and consideration of the proposal was postponed until the next session.^ ^ Federico, pp., cit., pp. 58-59* 83 The second session of the first Congress convened in January of the next year at which time both houses were addressed by the President of the United States, George Washington. He stressed'the importance of encouraging in ventions in his message when he said: The advancement of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures, by all proper means, will not, I trust need recommendation, but I cannot forbear intimating to you the expedience of giving effectual encourage ment, as well to the introduction of new and useful inventions abroad, as to the exertions of skill and genius in producing them at home,....^ Both Senate and the House of Representatives replied to the message by taking up the matter of a patent bill. A committee was named with Edmund Burk of South Carolina as chairman. He reported the bill on February 17, and it was discussed for several days before being finally passed. The President approved the bill on April 10, 1790* This was the first patent act to be passed by the Federal Government of the United States.5 it was not only the beginning of the patent system for our country, but also was the first time in history that the intrinsic right of an inventor to profit 4 Ibid., p. 62. ^ Richard Peters, Editor, The Public Statues At Large of the United States of America From Organization of the Government in 1789. to March 1845. I, p. 109. 84 from his invention was protected and recognized by law.^ This law was fairly short and quite simple. It speci fied that a patent was "any useful art, manufacture, engine, machine, or device, or any improvement therein not before known or u s e d .“7 The power of granting patents in the name of the United States was given to the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War,- and the Attorney General of the United States. Any two members of this committee of three could grant a patent "if they shall deem the invention or discov ery sufficiently useful and important.The inventor was required to file a specification in writing, a drawing, and a model if it were at all possible. These specifications and drawings had to be so particular and so exact that the invention could be distinguished from other things before known and used. Infringement was punished by damages to be assessed by a jury, and by forfeiture of the infringing de vices to the patentee. Patents could be repealed within one year by the judgement of a district court on the complaint of any person. The term of each patent was not to exceed ^ fourteen years, the exact term being determined by the ^ Conway P. Coe, The Story of the American Patent System, p. 1. ^ Statutes At Large. I, p. 608. o Loc. cit. 85 board or commission. The fees were nominal. The filing fee was fifty cents plus ten cents per hundred words of specification. Two dollars was charged for affixing the great seal and twenty cents was assessed for endorsement. All expenses added together amounted to four or five dollars.9 The first commissioners for the "promotion of useful arts” were Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State, Henry Knox, Secretary of War, and Edmund Randolph, Attorney General. The Attorney General was given the responsibility of decid ing the correctness of the form of the patent, and his certification was required on the patent record. It was Thomas Jefferson, however, who became the moving spirit of the board. He made personal examinations of all applica tions that came before him during the years between 1790 and 1795. It is related that the granting of patents for the early period just mentioned was considered to be an important and special event in the history of the State department, where the clerical part of the work was at that time performed. Thomas Jefferson would call the three distinguished members of the committee together. They would then examine the applications critically, scrutinizing each ^ Ibid., p. 6o8. 86 point of the specification and claims carefully and rigor ously. The result of this careful examination is obvious. The majority of the applications failed to pass the o r d e a l . ^ 0 The system of granting patents under the act of 1790 did not operate with complete success as can be read ily imagined. Progress was slow because the members of the board had no body of laws to guide them. They, there fore, adopted a conservative policy. The patent board did not grant patents as freely as some persons desired. How ever, there was still another reason for ineffective admini stration of this-law. The administrators were men of high positions who were occupied with many important affairs of state and could not devote sufficient time to patent matters. In view of the difficulties encountered by the pat ent board in caring for patent matters, a bill was intro duced in Congress on February 7, 1791. The provisions of this bill later culminated in the act of February 21, 1795. In respect to the granting of patents, the new act went from one extreme of rigid examination by high governmental officials to the opposite position of no examination at Coe, Git., pp. 1-2. Federico, pp. cit.. pp. 64-76. all. ^ 87 The act of 1793 secured to Inventors fall and exclu sive right to their respective Inventions and improvements | for a term of fourteen years. Each inventor was allowed to ! take out a patent upon his invention or improvement, upon | his petition and specification, and the act declared that these "shall be recorded in a book of state.The law | allowed one clerk to aid in the work of recording patents ^ and in the handling of the patent affairs themselves. In ! I general the act of 1793 was much the same as that of 1790, except that the power of rejection was destroyed, and the duty of granting patents lodged with the Secretary of State alone. It still required the certification of the Attorney General as to the correctness of the form to be affixed, and also the signature of the President was required. The construction which was put upon the law was that the granting of patents under it was a mere ministerial act and that the term "useful" was only meant in contradistinc tion to harmful, injurious, or pernicious. The act of 1790 had made no distinction between Coe, pp. cit.. p. 2. ^3 Statutes At Large, pp. cit., pp. 318-323* 14 Loc. cit. 88 citizens of the United States and aliens as to their rights under the Patent laws, but the act of 1793 refused patents to persons not citizens of the United States. This law was later amended in I800 whereby aliens who had resided two years in the United States were given the same rights as citizens of this country provided that they filed an affi davit with their applications setting forth their desire and inclination to become citizens of the United States.15 During the years from 1790 to 1802, "a single clerk in the State Department performed the work of the Patent Office, and a dozen pigeon-holes contained the entire re cord. In 1802 Mr. Jefferson appointed quite a noted scientific gentleman by the name of Dr. William Thornton, a graduate of medicine in Edinburgh and a man of varied accom plishments. He was intimately acquainted with prominent men of his time, and he was a close personal friend of James Madison.17 For twenty-six years he was the autocrat of the Patent Office. He was a person of marked individual ity which he impressed upon the conduct of affairs during Journal of the Franklin Institute, XV, (January, 1833), p. 5. ^ Account of The Destruction By Fire of The North and West Halls of the Model Room In the United States Patent Office Building on the 24th of September, l877. Together with A History of the Patent Office From 1790-18777 P. 8. 17 Coe, pp. cit., p. 84. 89 the long occupancy of his office. He conceived himself vested with much discretionary power, for he believed that "patent laws are made solely for the encouragement of authors and inventors, and not to collect revenue."!^ He would, therefore, exercise his judgement about the payment of fees. He failed to record the grants with any regular ity, and in general assumed arbitrary powers that were extra-legal or contrary to law. He did not let his posi tion deter him from issuing patents to himself, and it was not unusual to find Dr. Thornton a co-patentee, while he was determining all questions which might arise under the law and the practices which he himself dictated. Dr. Thornton took great interest in the Office. A story is told of him that during the war of I8l2, when the British captured the city of Washington and destroyed the capitol building, he saved the Patent Office from being destroyed. The narration relates that as a loaded cannon was trained upon the Patent Office for the purpose of des troying it, the Doctor put himself before the gun and in a frenzy of excitement exclaimed, "Are you English men, or only Goths and Vandals? This is the Patent Office, a depository of the ingenuity and inventions of the American 18 Federico, p p . cit.. p. 8 4 . 90 nation, in which the whole civilized world is Interested. Would you destroy it? If so, fire away; and let the charge , pass through my body." The effect is said to have been magical upon the men. The shot was not fired. The ineffectiveness of the act of 1793 was due in part to the supervision of the Patent Office by this man. His failures, as they were, were due to overpowering discre tion* His sense of personal ownership In the Patent Office was the result of both an intensive and absorbing Interest in the promotion of Its objects, and also to a neglect on j the part of Congress. He was left to his own d e v i c e s . ' It is also shown in his numerous complaints to the | I various Secretaries of State who were his immediate super iors that he was considerably handicapped by the insuffi ciency of clerical assistance. This fault is also recorded in Niles Weekly Register where an account of Mr. Trimble * s report on March 1, 1827 in the House of Representatives was given. Mr. Trimble stated: Hone of the patents have been recorded as the law requires, from the year 1002, to the fourth of March, 1825, and the committee is satisfied that the failure is owing to the want of the requisite assistance of clerks in the office. The law allows only one clerk to assist the superintendent, but it As Account of the Destruction By Fire of the Horth and West Hall, p. Ô. 20 Federico, pp. pit., p. 84. 91 is believed that two are indispensably necessary to record the patents as they issue, and perform the current business of the office. The present Secretary of State directed an extra clerk to be employed in the business of recording patents, and with his assistance, the patents issued after March, 1825, have been duly recorded up to the first of May, I82 6. No provision was made for additional clerks at the last session of Congress; and the extra clerk was dismissed; the consequence of which has been, that the patents issued since the first of May, I8 2 6, are yet to be recorded. The treasury from fees on letters patent from 1795 to 1826, is $155,690. and the disbursement during the same time was only $63,757* It is certain that the balance of at least sixty thousand dollars in the treasury applicable under the law is manifest -that the proceeds of the office are nearly double the amount of its disbursement, including salaries, clerk hire, and all other expenses and contingencies whatever. The committee of which Mr. Trimble was a member reported the following resolution: Resolved by the Senate and the House of Repre sentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Secretary of State be, and he is hereby directed to employ two extra clerks in the business of recording patents in the patent office, who shall be compensated for their services, out of any balance in the treasury, applicable to the account of clerk hire in said office: Provided that the salary of each, shall not exceed the sum of seven hundred dollars. This resolution was read three times, passed by the House of Representatives and sent to the Senate for concurrence, and House of Representatives Report in Niles* Weekly Register, (March, I827), pp. 76-77* Ibid.. p. 771. there It was laid on the table to be embodied again later in another resolution* There can be no doubt that the promotion of the benefits of the patent system was the passion of Dr. Thornton. He was incessant in his devotion to the office and was extremely energetic and insistent in spreading the doctrine of its usefulness. He endeavored to administer the office in accordance with justice to the inventor and the rights of the public. The learned doctor died on March 2 7, 1828 and was succeeded to office by Dr. Thomas P. Jones, the editor of the Franklin Institute Journal. His stay in this office was short lived. He withdrew after altercations with William Elliott, a clerk who served in the Patent Office with Dr. Jones. The difficulty met in this case is not recorded, nevertheless. Dr. Jones was transferred to the Bureau of Archives, Laws and Commissions in the same depart ment during the first year of Jackson's administration, 1829. 2? Dr. John D. Craig was appointed the successor to the office of Superintendent. He remonstrated to Congress con cerning an unexpended balance turned into the treasury. ^3 Journal of the Franklin Institute. XGX, (July, , p. 4 95 His claim was that the Patent office was a source of revenue "which it is presumed, the framers of its laws never intend ed; and the compensation received by those connected with it, is far less, in proportion to their labor and responsi bility than in any other office of the government within the district. On March 7, 1832, a resolution was passed by both Houses of Congress and approved by the President of the United States. This resolution stated that the Secretary of State should procure the books, stationary and other accomodations necessary for recording the patents issued. He was also directed to employ as many clerks as were needed to record the unrecorded patents, at the rate not to exceed twelve and a half cents for every hundred words. In the general appropriation bill of May 5, 1832 $14,612. were appropriated to defray the necessary expenses.^5 Dr. Craig did not help matters in the Patent Office to any great extent. If Dr. Thornton were lax in his affairs. Dr. Craig was the opposite. He was strict in the smallest detail. As an example of the vigorous methods by which he performed his official duties, mention of a letter p2i Federico, op. cit., p. 84. Journal of the Franklin Institute, XV, (January, 1835), P* 2. 94 he served to Dr. Mayo, a successful candidate for clerk, is made: Sir, As you are now appointed a clerk in this Office, I think it necessary candidly to inform you of what character I understand you to bear in Washington; and I have it from the President that he had similar information on the subject, though he is not inclined to believe it is true, and I sincerely hope it is not. You are represented, as a man of disagreeable temper and constantly endeavouring to undermine and supplant others in the Office in which you have been. You are also stated to be a very in ferior clerk. Such are the common reports in the city.... With regard to the duties of the office, they are both important and laborious, and require both talent and attention; the hours of attendance throughout the years are from nine to three o*clock, and no encouragement to visitors except on the business of the Office, is to be given to any person, or any conversation permitted with visitors, except on subjects of the same kind, and it is an invariable rule that no one belonging to the office shall absent himself or leave the office, during the office hours, without permission. Thus with perfect candor and good feelings to avoid future misunderstanding have I made this communication. It is not necessary to say that Dr. Mayo refused to accept the implications accompanying the appointment. On another occasion a similar protest was made to the Secretary of State over the appointment of a clerk. ''The man about three years ago, married a young lady with a large fortune, and in a short time spent the whole of it Federico, cit. » p. 84. 95 in dissipation, with abandoned associates, I hope a public office will not, during the present administration, be the reward for such conduct,''^7 Dr. Craig*s career was turbulent and rocky. He was disturbed by everything. One day, William P. Elliot, the same person with whom Dr. Jones had had difficulty, and later the architect of the Patent Office, endeavored to oppose his will, with the result that the first record of an investigation into the conduct of the officials of the Patent Office were made. Dr. Craig was charged with ignor ance of the law, destruction of public correspondence, rude conduct in his official relations, and other malfeasance. Apparently there was some basis for the charges, for the Secretary of State censured the superintendent and laid down some plain business rules for the future government of the Office, and ordered the abuses corrected. Mr. Elliot presented further charges with the effect that the Secre tary of State ordered Dr. Craig to abide more closely to the rules of order in his office. The Doctor pronounced this order "tyrannical and unjust." Upon further investi gation in which the charges were substantiated, he was Ibid.. p. 88. 96 dismissed from office on January ^1, 1855*^^ He was succeeded to office by J. C. Pickett, whose appointment seems to have been one of emergency for he held office only a few months. In May, 1835> Henry L. Ellsworth of Hartford, Gonnecticut, was appointed Superintendent of Patents. He was the last occupant under this title and the first Super intendent to administer his office efficiently. There was no laxity in the execution of the laws, the records were kept up to date, and the office was run smoothly without the friction that seemed to characterize the earlier admin istrations under the act of 1795. It seems well and fitting then that he should be the first Commissioner of patents, the title which he received under the new act of 1836.^^ From 1790 to the time of the reorganization of the Patent Office in 1836 there were granted eleven thousand three hundred and forty-eight patents, a large number of which were valueless because of the lack of novelty or use fulness. The abuses which grew out of the promiscuous Ibid.. p. 8 9. Ibid.. p. 89. 50 Federico, op. cit., p. 90. 97 granting of patents without inquiry into their merit attracted public attention in the early part of the nine teenth century. Questions of originality, duplication of patents and grants, of frivolous patents became insistent. The courts were overwhelmed with litigation and the matters of infringement suits became more confused. It was not until 1836, however, that opposition to this system was strong enough to invoke congressional action. Early that year. Senator Buggies of Maine, who was the early champion of a reform of the abuses which the act of 1793 made possi ble made a motion in the Senate to select a committee to consider the state and condition of the Patent Office and the laws relating to it.^^ The committee was appointed with Mr. Buggies chairman and made an extended report setting forth the abuses which had grown up as a necessary conse quence of the act of 1793. The Committee recommended the passage of a bill for the reorganization of the Patent Office. In making the report to the Senate on April 28, I8 36, Senator Buggies stated in regard to the early law and its effect upon inventors and the public: ^ Blair and Hives, The Congressional Globe^ Con taining Sketches of the Debates and Proceedings of the 24th Congress., III, p. 59* 98 Under the act referred to, the Department of State has been going on, for more than forty years, issuing patents on every application, with out any examination into the merits or novelty of the invention. And the evils which necessarily result from the law as it now exists must continue to increase and multiply daily until Congress shall put a stop to them.^^ He continued by listing the abuses which he considered to be the most evil, namely, that so many patents conflicted and ■ infringed upon one another, many patent monopolies had sprung up, and that there were so many lawsuits because of patent collisions. His main criticism, however, was over the amount of fraud which was permitted under the old act. He stated: It opens the door of fraud, which has already become extensive and serious. It is represented to the committee that it is not uncommon for per sons to copy patented machines in the mode1-room; and having made some slight immaterial alterations, they apply in the next room for patents. There be ing no power given to refuse them, patents are issued of course. Thus prepared they go forth on a retailing expedition, selling out their patent rights for States, Counties, Townships, to those who have no means at hand of detecting the imposi tion, and who find, when it is too late, that they have purchased what the vendors had no right to sell, and which they obtain thereby no right to use. This speculation in patent rights has become a regular business, and several hundred thousand dol lars, it is estimated, are paid annually for void patents, %ny of which are thus fraudulently obtained.

The law stated that: . • • the Commissioner shall make, or cause to be made, an examination of the alleged new invention or discovery and if on any such examination, it shall not appear, to the Commissioner that the same had been invented or discovered by the applicant, or that it had been patented or described in any printed publication in this or any foreign country, or had been in public use or on sale with the applicant * s consent or allowance prior to the application, if the Commissioner shall deem it to be sufficiently useful and important, it shall be his duty to issue a patent therefore. But whenever, on such examina tion, it shall appear to the Commissioner that the applicant was not original and the first Inventor or discoverer thereof, or that any part of that which is claimed as new had before been invented or dis covered or patented or described in any printed pub lication in this or any foreign country, as afore said, or that the description is defective and insufficient, he shall notify the applicant thereof, giving him briefly such information and references as may be useful in judging of the propriety of re newing his application, or of altering his specifi cation to embrace only what part of the invention Congressional Globe; on. cit., p. 336. 100 or discovery which is new. In every such case, if the applicant shall elect to withdraw his applica tion, relinquish his claim to the model, he shall be entitled to receive back $20.*^^ The law arranged for a manner of appeal from the decision of the Commissioner. The rejected inventor was to make an appeal before a board of examiners composed of three dis interested persons appointed by the Secretary of State. One member, at least, was to be selected for his skill and knowledge in the practical art, manufacturing or branch of science to which the alleged invention appertained. The Board was to be furnished with a certificate in writing of the opinion and decision of the Commissioner, stating his objections to the part of the invention which he had con sidered as not being entitled to be patented. Notice was to be given to both the Commissioner and the inventor so as to give them an opportunity to furnish themselves with such facts as might be needed to reach a just decision. The board then, after hearing the evidence, had the power to make the decision, and if the majority felt it advisable, reverse the decision of the Commissioner. The decision of the Board was certified to the Commissioner who was to be governed by it in the further proceedings of the case.36 Statutes At Large V, pp. 117-125’ . See also The jQurna^ Franklin Institute, XXII, (Sept., 1836), 56 Ibid.. pp. 158-166. 101 The act also provided for a Chief Clerk who was to have custody of the Seal and of the records and models of the office. He was to perform all of the duties of the Commissioner during his absence. Patents were to be issued for a term not to exceed fourteen years for a fee of thirty dollars. The patents might be extended for a period of seven years upon the payment of an additional thirty dollars, if the Secretary of State, the Commissioner of Patents, and the Solicitor of the Treasury, who were by the act appointed as a board to hear and decide upon the evidence for or against the exten sion, should decide favorably. Notice of the extention of a patent was to appear in a Washington newspaper, and the board was to sit at the time and place given in the notice. There was little change in the regulations in rela tion to specifications, drawings, and models from that found in the act of 1790. The same oath of affirmation as "to the originality of the invention was also preserved. The new act provided for clerks sufficient in number to care for the needs of the Patent Office. An examining clerk was provided at a salary of $1,500 a year; two clerks at $1,200 each, and one clerk to serve with a salary of $1,000 a year. The law also provided for a machinist at $1,250 and a messenger at $700 a year. The Commissioner 102 and Chief Clerk were both required to give bonds for the faithful performance of the duties of their o f fice.^7 Dr. Thomas P. Jones in the Franklin Institute Journal published the entire act and made the following comment per taining to it: In many of its provisions it is undoubtedly a real improvement upon the old law; there are, how ever, some enactments in it which we think objection able, and others, the beneficial operation of which may admit to much doubt. The exercise of the judi cial power given to the office will require much knowledge, great prudence, and a kind and liberal feeling towards applicants, in doubtful cases. Several alterations would have been urged previously to its passage, but in the state of Congressional business a trifling opposition would have defeated it altogether, and it was thought better to break up the old system, as amendments will be more read ily grafted on the new, perfection not being looked for in what is untried.38 The act of 1836 remains as the foundation of the patent laws today. While the law did not fulfill the com plete hopes of its moulders, it was a decided step in the right direction and in advance of anything that had been proposed. This act was unique in presenting a mode of pro cedure for which there was no precedent. It presented a clear cut plan in determining of patent rights. So marked was its success which was so closely related to the progress Ibid., pp. 158-166. Journal of the Franklin Institute^ XXII, (Sept., 1836), p. 15^ 103 of American industry, that the American method of granting patents became the standard practice for the whole world to follôw or admire. The most striking exception of this is France which adheres to the old registration system.^9 For the first time in history the means of promoting the system of patent protection was placed on scientific and intelligent basis. It is a credit to the men of Congress at that time and particularily to John Buggies that such a bill was passed. John Buggies was an inventor himself and sever al of his inventions are listed and described in the Journal of the Franklin Institute. It is interesting to note that the first patent issued under the new examination system was granted to John Buggies on July 13> 1836 for an invention of a traction wheel for a locomotive steam e n g i n e .40 The law of 1836 provided a dignified procedure, and if it did not start this country on its unprecedented in dustrial era, it was at least a most powerful stimulus to ward that end. It laid a broad foundation upon which to build a structure of procedure. The years which followed have been concerned with the amplifying and changing of the details of the act. Federico, cit., pp. 103-104. ^0 Ooe, ppi. cit.. p. 7. 104 Within six months after the act of 1836 was passed, the building which housed the General Post Office, the City Post Office of Washington and the Patent Office of the United States was destroyed by fire. In the early morning hours of December 15, 1836 the fire began in the cellar of the building. It was a damp, draughty place, and the fire spread easily through the building. The dangerous condition of the edifice was generally known. Six months previous to the fire, a congressional committee, investigating the Pat ent Office, had reported that the building was too much ex posed to the danger of fire.41 An engine house attached to the northeast corner of the building contained a fire engine which had been purchased by a special act of Congress six teen years earlier. At the time the engine was purchased, a fire company of volunteers was formed, but as the time passed, the company dispersed, and the engine and the hose were allowed to fall into disrepair. At the time of the fire, the engine and hose were entirely useless. A number of buckets kept in the basement of the general post office constituted the only provision for extinguishing the fire.^^ At the time of the fire, no one connected with the P. J. Federico, "Patent Office Fire of 1836," The Patent Office J ournal. XVIII, p. 805. Ibid.. p. 807. 105 three offices made any attempt to extinguish the fire or send for engines. There were two engines in the vicinity, one at the Capitol and one near the President*s house, both of which were about three-fourths of a mile away. There also was one in Georgetown. As it would take considerable time and require a number of men to draw them, their use in saving the building was not made.43 Two brief descriptions of the fire are given in two separate accounts. The first of these was written by the editor. Dr. Thomas P. Jones, and is found in the Franklin J ournal: The editor resides in the vicinity of that office, and his danger from the fire was imminent; but his dwelling, with his books and papers were preserved, although with some disarrangement of the latter; his papers and notes relating to the pat ents were however, in a desk in the Patent Office, and of course, shared the general fate 6f its con tents. On the first moment of alarm all access to that office was rendered impracticable from the dense smoke with which the stair case and passages were filled, even before the fire was v i s i b l e . 44 Mr. William T. Steiger, who was a clerk in the Patent Office, and who resided directly opposite the Patent Office gives the following account of the fire as is recorded in "An Account of The Fire": I b i d . . p . 8 0 7 . Journal of the Franklin Institute. XXIII, (January, 1 8 5 7 ) , p . 2 2 . 106 • . . He awakened about half past three o*clock in the morning, by the information that the office was on fire. He dressed himself and ran out, and although the fire had evidently been burning some time, only four or five persons were on the ground. He ascended the steps of the Patent Office building and tried to get in at the east door, but could not do it on account of the dense smoke issuing from it. He then made efforts to spread the alarm, running down Pennsylvania Avenue, and from there to C Street, where the Commissioner lived. When he and the Commissioner returned to the building, they made efforts to reach the Patent Office, but the fire had made such progress that their attempts were futile and everything was destroyed.4-5 Rumors were spread and insinuations made in the press that the fire had been set deliberately to the records of dishonest mail contracts in the General Post Office. Two incidents, contemporary in nature, gave rise to this idea. The first of these was that mail contracts were actually under investigation by Congress and considerable difficulty had been experienced in obtaining the proper records from the Post Office. To aid in the suggestion of this was the current trial of Richard White, who was charged with setting the fire which burned down the Treasury building in 1833 in order to destroy fraudulent pension papers.

Together with A History of The Patent Office From 1790-1877I pil51 I 4-6 Federico, "Patent Office Fire of 1836," The Patent Office Journal. XVIII, p. 807# 107 To offset these, there was the undisputable fact that the fire originated in the basement and not in the General Post Office where the contract records were kept, and that most of the records in the General Post Office were saved through the efforts of the Post Master General, Amos Kendal, who made every effort to prevent the spread of the fire to his portion of the building so that the files could be re moved to safety. 47 The committee on Post Office and Post Roads submitted on January 20, 1837 a report on the destruction of the Post Office in which they stated that they had examined thirty- two persons and that the evidence which they had secured was conclusive that the fire originated in the cellar under the City Post Office. They were unable to say exactly in which room the fire began, nor were they able to state the exact cause. They remarked, however, that the ashes which came from the woodfires about the building were stored in a pine box which held from fifteen to twenty bushels. This box was in a room in which was housed the winter wood for the Patent Office. The committee also noted that a fire had been dis covered in this box a year earlier, and that it had been extinguished before any damage was done. A correspondent of I b i d . . p. 807. 108 the day ascribes the cause of the fire also to the ash box and says: . • . These ashes are the prerequisites of some of the minor officials, and were gathered in the cellar until they were called for by the purchasers. When it is remembered that dry pine wood used for kindling the fires was stored in the same room, there seems to be no necessity for resorting to supposed incendiarism in accounting for the mis chief.4o In so far as the Patent Office was concerned, the destruction was complete. Not one stick of furniture nor one sheet of record was saved. There were one hundred and sixty-eight large volumes of records, twenty-six large portfolios which contained nine thousand drawings many of which were beautifully executed; and there were also all the original descriptions and specifications of inventions which numbered about ten thousand, besides caveats. Along with the records which were destroyed, went a large collection of valuable books. Two hundred and thirty volumes belonging to the Patent Office Library were destroyed amounting to a monetary loss of $1,000. The model-cases, press and seals, desks, bookcases, and other furniture and effects belonging to the Patent Office were estimated in loss to be $6,600. "An Account of the Destruction By Fire of the North and West Hall," p. 15. 109 The Patent Office contained also the largest and most interesting collection of models in the world. It was the object of pride for those Americans who were able to appreciate its worth. The number of models was about seven thousand, many of which displayed great talent and ingenuity. There was deposited in the Patent Office a volume of draw ings elegantly executed by Robert Pulton delineating the various parts of the machinery he employed, showing the three beautiful representations of his steam boat making its first triumphant struggle against the currents of the Hudson. This volume shared the fate of everything else in the office.49 Because of the importance of these records, it was essential that all be restored fully, promptly, and as com pletely as possible. The special committee appointed by the Senate to investigate the condition of the Patent Office loss concluded its report to the Senate by saying; Under existing circumstances, without written, pictorial, or model-record of any kind, it is apparent that the business of the office must either stand still or proceed under very great embarassment, which can be relieved only by early action of Congress on the subject. Federico, "Outline of the History of the United States Patent Office," Journal of the Patent Office Society. p. 805. Journal of the Franklin Institute. XXIII, (January, 1837), p. 28: 110 The act of 1836 had provided for a new building, and work on it had been speeded, ân act approved by President Jackson on March 3, 1837 provided for the restoration of the lost records. It gave any person in possession of a patent issued prior to December 15, 1836, the right to have the patent recorded again in the Patent Office free of charge. Each patent was to be accompanied with the description and drawing belonging to the patent. The law also required that the Commissioner of Patents obtain, as far as possible, copies of patents, specifications, and drawings of patents which had been issued in the United States for the purpose of having them recorded again. In order to lessen the work for the Commissioner of Patents, the law required that it was the duty of the several clerks of the Judicial Courts of the United States to transmit to the Commissioner a state ment of all authenticated copies of patents, descriptions, specifications, and drawings issued prior to December 15, 1856.51 The second section of the act provided that all copies of the restored patents recorded should be first evidence of the particulars of the invention or of the pat ent granted. Therefore in any United States Court, in all 5 ^ I b i d . . p p . 105-104. Ill cases, copies of the original record of specification or drawings would be evidence without proving the loss of the originals. In order to insure that the patentees would re new their patents, the law provided that no patent issued prior to the fire should be received in evidence in any of the courts of the United States after the first day of June, 1838, unless it had been recorded prior to that time in the Patent Office. Another section of the act made it the duty of the Commissioner to obtain duplicate copies of the models that were destroyed; those that were most valuable and important to the public. The law continued to provide that there should be no patent granted for an invention, improvement or discovery, the model of which had been lost until another model should be deposited in the Patent Office, should the Commissioner require one. There were other portions of the bill which pertained to the hiring of additional clerks, collecting and housing the models collected, and finally the appropriation of money to the credit of the Patent Fund, a sum amounting to all the money in the Treasury of the United States prior to July 4, 1836.52 Another contribution made by the act of 1837 which 5^ Journal of the Franklin Institute. XXIII, (March, 1837), p. 197. 112 had Its Influence more upon the Patent laws than upon the restoration of the records, was the section of the act per taining to disclaimers. This was an outstanding contribu tion to the building up of the patent laws. Before this time, a patent was invalid as a whole if the inventor made claim for more than was actually in his own invention. The act provided that a patentee might file a disclaimer in writing, attested by two witnesses, accompanied by a fee of ten dollars stating that such a matter was not claimed to be a part of his invention. The act further provided that the holder of a patent which was defective because it included too much might, nevertheless, bring suit. He could not, however, recover costs unless he had disclaimed in advance. In any case, the patentee must disclaim promptly upon learn ing of the defect in order to save his patent. This dis claimer section of the act of 1837 has remained to the pre sent time without any substantial change.53 The Act of March, 1837, also required the Commission er of Patents to lay before Congress a statement of expend itures and payments made by him from the patent fund and a list of all patents which had been granted during the pro ceeding year; also a list of patents which had expired during the same period. 55 I b i d . . p . 197. 113 Under the provisions of this act, the Commissioner and his staff began a correspondence with every person who had secured a patent up to the time of the fire. The letters were sent to the place where the patentees had re sided when the patents were i s s u e d . 54 Some two thousand patents had been replaced during the first year after the fire, and the Commissioner felt that the most valuable records would be restored. An alphabetical digest of all the patents granted by the United States was started at this time, and although not complete, has served as the only record of that kind in existence. The restored models and drawings amounted to several thou sand dollars, and the Commissioner felt that the office was fairly organized by the end of the year of 1838. It was not until 1839 however that the restoration of the destroyed models, and drawings, which were authorized by the act of 1837 was discontinued. Out of the $100,000 appropriated for this purpose, only $88,237*32 was expended. The amount of labor which accompanied the whole process of restoration was great and the work extended over a period of twelve y e a r s .55 5 ^ I b i d . . p . 1 9 7 . 55 Henry L. Ellsworth, Report of the Commissioner of Patents. In Relation to the Operation of That Office Puring the Year 1837j pp. 2-TT 114 During that time the Patent Office was constantly in corres pondence with thousands of Inventors in different parts of the country. Most of the valuable models and drawings were restored, but many could not be duplicated at any cost. The knowledge of such facts concerning the great national loss sustained in the Patent Office fire forces those who are interested to search in other sources for authentic material relating to these patents which were lost. The Journal of the Franklin Institute has proven to be the most complete and authentic source a v a i l a b l e .56 As the work of the Patent Office increased, the Com missioner was compelled to ask for more help. In 1839, therefore. Congress authorized the employment of two assis tant examiners and such temporary clerks as were required. The act further required the Commissioner to publish a list of patents granted up to that time, and to purchase a thou sand dollars worth of books to add to the scientific library. It gave to foreign patentees a period of six months after receiving the first grant, to apply in the United States for a patent, providing that the patent had not gone into public use in this country. The act also appropriated one thousand dollars to be used by the Commissioner in collecting statis tics in agriculture. This was really the beginning of the 56 Journal of the Franklin Institute. XXIII, (Feb., X857), p. 152. 115 Department of Agriculture, and the reports of the Com missioner of Patents for many years devoted considerable space to the .subject.57 From the account as given on the preceeding pages, it is seen that the patent system received its greater stimulation and moulding during the Jacksonian period. It evolved from the strict method of patent granting of 1790 through the period of 1793 to become the law which laid the basis for our patent system of the present time, namely the Act of 1836. Two other laws, those of 1837 nnd 1839 added much which has had a lasting quality. Too little is known of this great contribution to American-industry and welfare as it has been lost in the political animosities of the day, and too little credit has been given to the men of the period who were responsible for this progress. The Patent Office was the greatest inspiring motive for invention, but it was not the only one. The European situation, caused by the wars of Napoléon, had blocked com merce among the European countries and gave the new Republic of the United States an unqualified advantage over its rivals for world trade. These wars, too, had cut off the flow of manufactured goods to this country so that the Statutes At Large. V, pp. 353-355* 116 United States was forced to produce for itself. While Europe was endeavoring to recover from the ravages of war and the depletion of its resources, with agriculture and industry generally prostrated, the United States was begin ning to develop its resources rapidly. This nation was gifted with what seemed to be an unlimited supply of minerals, timber, water-power, and arable land. These gave the necessary raw materials. The patent system provided the incentive to push the nation forward by giving opportun ity to her inventors. By the year 1840 many thousands of improvements had been made in the United States, and America was on the verge of transplanting the industrial revolution from England to her own shores. CHAPTER IV A DECADE OF INVENTIONS The period from 1826 to 1836 was indeed an age of Invention and discovery. Conditions of living and of carrying on business of all kinds improved tremendously. A writer in the Edinburg Review says: Were we required to characterize this age of ours by any single epithet, we should be tempted to call it, not an historical, devotional, philosophical or moral age, but above all others, the mechanical age. It is the age of machinery in every outward and in ward sense of that word; the age which, with its whole undivided might forwards, teaches and prac tices the great art of adopting means to ends. Nothing is now done directly, or by hand; all is by rule and calculated contrivance. Our old modes of exertion are all discredited, and thrown aside. There is no end to machinery. Even the horse is stripped of his harness, and finds a fleet flre- horse yoked in his stead. Nay, we have an artist that hatches chickens by steam— the very brood hen Is to be superceded! For all earthly and some un earthly purposes, we have machines for mechanic furtherances, for mincing cabbage; for casting us into magnetic sleep. We remove mountains, and make seas our smooth highway; nothing, can resist. We war with rude nature; and by our resistless engines, come off always victorious, and loaded with spoils.I To the vast array of machines which revolutionized all industry, the United States furnished an abundance dur ing this period. In many cases heavy borrowing was made from England, but In each case American inventors added to 1 Miles' Weekly Register. XXXVII, (November, 1829), p. 209. _ 118 the contrivances which they appropriated. For-those inven tions which were practical, there stood a leader of Indus try ready to take It and make its utility felt throughout the nation and the world. An endless number of patents which are recorded dur ing this time were worthless and contained nothing new or original. Although these inventions reflect the time and the laws of the period, they will not consume a major part of this study as their contributions were negligible. Attempts made by American Inventors to solve the many problems In navigation were continuous throughout this period. Many of the devices resorted to were peculiar to the United States due to its natural endowment which was essentially different from that of England, the leading country in the industrial revolution, of which this period was a continuation. The subject of canals and locks was of great concern to all Americans of this period. Locks were used extensive ly, and it was not until 1826 that the method of inclined planes was invented. In that year, Mr. James Renwiek, aided by successful analagous attempts in Europe, found this method by which the elevation of a summit might be overcome by a comparatively inexpensive method. The idea was that of combining the use of locks with the inclined planes, or 119 the use of either to fit the locality and circumstance. On the inclined plane was placed two parallel sets of iron railways, each set serving for a lock to ascend and descend the incline. The lock was supported upon and moved with a carriage, the bottom of which was parallel with the inclin ed plane. Under the bottom of the carriage were a number of iron truck wheels arranged in two rows which correspond ed with and revolved along with the rail-way belonging to the lock. Two strong chains were secured to and passed around a drum at the end of the upper level, the remaining two parts were brought down and fastened, one on each side, to the lower part of the lock. Each of the chains was strong enough to sustain a loaded lock, therefore, all danger of accident during the operation was guarded against.^ The passage of the boat from one level to another seemed to be quite a simple operation. The boat, upon arriving at either end of the inclined plane, passed at once into the moveable lock, the gates were closed, and the transit took place. For this new method, Mr. Renwick received from the Committee on Inventions for the Institute, a medal and the 2 The Franklin Journal and American Mechanics( Magazine. II, (December^ IS2 6), pp. 321-324. 120 following comments We now conclude this examination of the ingen ious project which has been submitted to our attention, by congratulating our fellow citizens on the appearance of a plan, by which the mountains and hills of our country, which, at present, pre vent a free, uninterrupted, and economical ex change of the productions of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures, may soon cease to be insurmount able obstacles to this beneficial intercourse; a" plan, the importance of which, until the present system of canal navigation be superseded by other means, which the progress of science may hereafter establish.3 Another method of canal boat raising and lowering was patented by David Townsend of Pennsylvania. The means employed by Mr. Townsend was that of the ”Plunger**. The f ’Plunger** was a solid block which was constructed to be nearly the length and width of a canal chamber. When a boat from the lower canal entered the chamber, the gates / closed. The Plunger was then forced to sink into the water; this would cause the water to rise. In this way, the boat could be raised to the height of the ordinary lift of a lock, and without the ordinary loss of water, except through the unavoidable leakage of the gates.^ A problem which would naturally arize in the field of navigation would be that of the repair of the vessels. ^ Ibid.. p. 3 2 9. ^ Ibid.. Ill (February, I8 27), p. 101. 121 At first dry docks were constructed for this purpose, but it was soon felt that this was inadequate, consequently new devices were sought. In February 182%, a contrivance, known as the Marine Railway was constructed by John Thomas, a naval architect. The specifications stated: The object of the rail-way dock, is to take the ship, as by surprise, while afloat, and before she loses the support of the water, to surround her with other supports, give her keel a firm founda tion, her bilge a cradle, and her bends a general and substantial shoring without the least change of figure from that she had in the water. She is taken out of it, and being put in complete order, is gently returned to her element.5 As the vessel was brought between the wharves of the dock, the carriage was placed under her, the head shores were applied and the boat was gradually moved up on the railway until it was completely taken from the water into the sun for the necessary repairs.^ Another patent was secured for an invention very similar in nature. This was called the Radiating Railway for repairing vessels. It was Invented by Edward Clark, a civil engineer of New York. He worked on the principle that on one of the marine rail-ways, whatever went up last, must necessarily come down first. He felt, therefore, that 5 I b i d . . p . 7 4 . 6 I b i d . . p . 8 3 . 122 frequently vessels which were repaired, did not have time to dry. The distinguishing feature of his invention was a means provided for the removing of vessels out of the direct line of the main rail-way and of depositing them upon sub-ways for the purpose of being repaired. To accomplish this, the upper part of the rail-way was de tached from the lower part and was made capable of revolv ing upon a platform. This platform was the segment of a circle; at the circumference of the segment the rail-way terminated and the detached revolving part commenced.7 The same inventor proposed another means of repair ing the boats. The method to be used for this plan was a floating drydock. He suggested that a floating timber, which was to be the bottom of the structure, should be the support of a vessel during its period of repair. The frame was to be completely water tight, with enough buoy ancy to sustain itself and its load. Its usefulness, how ever, was questioned by the committee on inventions of the Franklin Institute. They reasoned: The great practical difficulties would prevent themselves in the construction and the use of this dock, as well as in others which have been pro jected with similar views. In situations where marine railways can be erected, the committee 7 I b i d . . I l l , (F e b ru a ry , I827) , p . 99* 123 believes them to be preferable to a floating dock.® From the first issue of the Journal in 1826 to the twenty-second volume in 1836, constant reference was made to the need for safety devices in navigation. In the issues considerable time was given by members of the Franklin Institute to the investigation of the causes of explosions in steam boats, and descriptions of such catas trophes were frequent. The pages of these volumes reveal very little in the form of inventions to remedy these con ditions, although many experiments were recorded. Pro fessor A. D. Bache of the University of Pennsylvania, in 1830, secured a patent for a safety valve to prevent the explosion of steam boilers. He felt that one of the major causes for the explosion was due to the lack of water with in the boiler when it was in action. The method which he wished to employ was to combine a plate of alloys of bis muth, tin, and lead with the ordinary safety valve that was then in use. By action of various pressures against the plate, the steam would be taken care of and yet the appara tus was to be so arranged that the required amount of steam would be conserved. There was also to be an arrangement whereby the individual passenger could, by reading the 8 I b i d . . p . 425. 124 pressure gauge, be warned before the boiler would blow up, in case anything should happen to the apparatus.9 In October, 1833, James P. Espy received a patent for a draft cap for vessels and for railroads. The des cription will be left for the discussion of railroad equip ment, as it was primarily constructed for that purpose. This cap was, however, applied to a steamboat which burned anthracite coal. Mr. Devoes, the engineer, testified as to its worth by saying: This is to certify that I have had in use Mr. Espy: 8 draft cap on the steamboat "Convoy,** for several months. This boat burns anthracite, and since the cap has been on, nearly one third of the coal we used to burn has been saved, and we make our trips in a fourth less time. The draft is very much increased, especially when we go against the wind, and the flame which always used to appear in the night rising above the top of the smoke pipe eight or nine feet, has never once appeared since the cap has been put on, and the smoke pipe which used to be red hot to the top, is now red more than three-fourths from the bottom. I may add that the steam is sooner got up at the wharf when there is any wind, and I know of no disadvantages attending to the use of the cap, if it is well made, so as to turn freely to the wind.^0 Mr. Lemuel Langley of Norfolk, Virginia, deserves credit for the construction of a very useful compass enti tled "Mariner's Compass." This instrument was to be secure. ^ ^he Journal of the Franklin Institute. XI, (January, lS 31), PP. 218-219. I b i d . . X I I , (Decem ber, 1 8 3 3 ), p . 420. 125 and in doing so, holes were to be cut through the deck of the vessel. These holes were cut through into the cabin and within them was placed the compass so as to be away from the noise and disturbance of the cannon. The case that held the compass was made of glass so that it could be seen both on deck and in the cabin. "What I claim," the specification declared, "is the fixing of a compass entire ly within the planking of the deck of a vessel, and the mode of rendering it equally visible.The Editor com mented very favorably upon the actual working of this in vention. With these improvements and many others made on the vessels, the United States continued to grow and expand. Although the railroad was to surpass it in inland naviga tion, its place in foreign trade was to continue until it reached the place of the leaders in the world of navigation. The period from 1825 to 1836 witnessed the begin ning of railroad development in Europe and especially in America, where new problems were met and overcome. The contribution of the United States to this important aspect of travel in the number of improvements was great. When ever new problems confronted these railroad builders. I b i d . . V I , (A u g u s t, 1 8 2 8 ), p . 130. 126 someone or some company came forth with a new invention ready to remedy the situation. The most outstanding improvement in railroad con struction during this period was on the wheel. America was blessed with numerous hills, mountains, and valleys. In order to overcome these, wheels had to be constructed that would be; able to make sharp turns on curves and ascend heavy grades. Ross Winans, of New York, contributed great ly during his life to the progress of the railroads, and his greatest contribution perhaps was his "Friction Wheel.” This consisted in applying friction rollers or secondary wheels. For railway carriages, the friction wheels were made with a rim, projecting inwards. The ends of the axles of the main wheel, passed within and rested against these rims so that the center of the friction wheel was below the carriage axle. The main axles were enclosed in brass boxes in order to check too free lateral motion which might take place. A very similar wheel was constructed by William Howard of Baltimore, independently of Mr. Winans, called the "Improved Railway Carriage.Both of these wheels Ihid.. IX, (January, 1829), p. 5 6. Ibid.. p. 6 7. 127 proved to be very successful and were a great asset to the comfort of railroad transportation. Before it was finally decided that steam was the . best means of power for use on the railroads, there were many suggestions made for supplying the energy for the carriages. One of these came from James Stimpson of Baltimore who patented what he termed, "The Animal Rapid Rail-road Carriage.” There were many constructed on this principle, and the description of this one shall be given as typical. It was a carriage drawn by a horse that rode upon the platform consisting of a moveable, endless floor which ran upon rollers. The wheels were so geared to this floor that as the horse moved upon it, the wheels were forced to turn. Joseph V. Hughes proposed the use of man power to propel the railroad carriage. There were to be twelve cast iron cogwheels. To these were to be attached two endless chains which would pass over three of the cogs in order to convey the motion of the carriage. A man was to stand on the carriage and move a vertical lever backward and for ward. Ibid.. EC, (May, I830), p. 296. 15 Ibid.. X, (October, I830), p. 231. 128, [ In the realm of steam motion there were many improve-j- ment8 made during these years, mostly in the improvement of j the boilers, and the applying of anthracite as fuel in the I engine. Golone1 3. H. Long, received a patent for a loco- I motive engine, called the Pennsylvania, which used anthra- ■ cite successfully. The boilers evaporated two hundred j gallons in an hour and used two bushels of coal.The steam engine maintained itself throughout this period and j was mpre thoroughly developed as time passed. } Among the many difficulties which these pioneers in j the construction of the railroad had were those of trans- ! porting the goods from one railroad to another. The rail- i roads did not always go directly through a town or city; ' therefore, it was necessary to transport the goods to the second railroad. John L. Sullivan of Pennsylvania attempted to obviate this difficulty by enabling the railroad carriage to leave the railroad and traverse the streets and roads as the other carriages did.^7 In 1829, 1830, and 1833 there were patents recorded for various switch types. The first of these was secured by James Wright in June 1829. He constructed a railway Ibid.. XII, (August, 1831), p. 74. 17 Ibid.. VIII, (July, 1829), pp. 237- 129 carriage which could turn in and out in places where it was desirous, from one track to another. Jonas P. Pairlamb of Delaware provided for a circu lar plane that was moveable at the center by rollers upon which it rested. In this way, when a carriage came to cross one set of tracks, it would be moved to this plat form, turned about and put on the other tracks. About this invention the Editor remarked: The foregoing plan we believe to be new, and, for simple carriages, we think it will answer well, but a revolving platform cannot be made suffici ently large to extend it beyond the use.^9 The improvement made in 1833 was not so much for an improvement in the switch itself, as it was for the method of securing it. The account stated that the ordinary switch could be easily moved from side to side by hand and that such a situation was dangerous for the passengers who rode on the railroads. The proposal in this invention was to have the switch constructed in the usual manner, and have upon the inside of the switch a hole to be placed in the cast iron plate. Through the hole a catch was to Ibid.. p. 2 3 6. 19 Ibid.. X, (November, I8 3 0), p. 29I. 130 project from beneath the plate over which the switch moved; in this way, the switch was to be retained in the general direction of the track* Several engineers for various railroad companies were at work experimenting with new methods for oiling the carriages* John Jervis, chief engineer of the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad, worked out a self-oiling box which enabled the wheels of the locomotive to run one thousand miles with one oiling.In 1831, John Sullivan also secured a patent for oiling the carriages. The process of oiling the axles had been done in a very wasteful manner, according to Mr. Sullivan. He proposed a plan whereby the secondary wheels were to run in a case in which the oil was placed, the friction wheel would dip into it and carry it up into the rubbing and rolling parts of the carriage. In connection with this field of experimentation, Mr. George Brown of Baltimore contributed greatly in a number of attempts to prove the invention. By using such a process, he was able to run a carriage which, with its load of three tons in all, ran two thousand miles and used one quart of oll.^^ 20 Ibid.. XI, (March, 1833), P. 175. Ibid.. XII, (July, 1831), p. 160. 22 Loc. cit. 131 Although coupling was not Invented during this period, Isaac Cooper in 1833 secured a patent which in its content pointed to the need for such an invention. The specification stated that it was a "mode of attaching to gether two or more cars for railroads, so as to give them the necessary play." In order to do this, two side pieces, and five cross pieces were tenoned together. The improve ment was to consist in a safety box which was to connect the two cars together. When the two cars were brought up within a few inches of each other, the two bars were to be placed below the cross bars of the cars. There were to be cushions of yielding material on each end of the bars, and a spring board for them to strike against; this part was to prevent injury when the car first stopped and the second car advanced upon it. As a check for the lateral motion there was also to be placed chains crossing each other diagonally between the connected ends of the cars.^^ The passengers who rode on the early railroads were often victims of fires due to the sparks which would escape from the flues of the locomotive steam engine. Two inven tions were issued in 1833 which attempted to overcome this difficulty. The first one, secured by Ebenezer Lester in 23 Ibid.. XV, (April, 1833), p. 239. 132 March, 1833, attempted to relieve the problem by arranging the flue in a different manner. Instead of allowing the pipe to ascend directly up, he proposed to have a double elbow in it. The upper section of the ascending pipe was to continue down below the elbow and was to be closed at the bottom by a moveable cap or cover. The result was that all the larger matter which would otherwise have escaped would fall into the chamber below, In June of the same year, James P, Espy of Phila delphia secured a patent for preventing the sparks from coming out of the chimneys. The object of the invention was to produce a partial vacuum over the top of the chimney. The amount of draft would be dependent upon the size of the cap. The cap was to be made of sheet iron, and wire gauze was to be placed over the opening to stop any sparks which might escape, and yet not diminish any of the draft.In October of 1833 William Knight, an engineer, made this statement as to the value of the invention: This is to certify that I have tried Mr. Espy*s draft cap on Mr. Baldwin's locomotive engine (on the Philadelphia and Germantown Railroad) and that with a wire gauze so fine that the head of a pin could not go through meshes, which was quite fine, it effectually stopped the sparks, without diminish ing the draft, and in some cases it even increased Ibid.. p. 221. 25 Ibid.. XII, (December, 1833), p. 419. 133 it, as, by opening the door to put in wood, the flame did not come out as it did previously in similar circumstances.^® The only rail for which there was a patent recorded in the Journal for this limited period was for the "Pennsylvania Edge Rail and Chair." This rail was con structed to remedy the defects of the Clarence rail. It was to have a cap tread of the usual dimensions, but in stead of a rib and keel, it was to be furnished with a rib only, and it was to extend to such a depth as to render it capable of supporting any required weight.^7 In September, 1833, the Editor of the Franklin Journal made the following observation about the rails which were in use during that time. ¥e have recently traveled along the railroad leading from Pennsylvania to Germantown, and also on the Pennsylvania railroad, now in the course of construction between Philadelphia and Columbia on the Susquehanna. On the whole of the former, and on a large portion of the latter, the rolled iron edge rail has been adopted. The general plan of forming the foundation of these rails is to sink some blocks (each containing about two cubic feet) at the distance of about three feet from each other, and upon these blocks to fasten cast iron chairs, which receive the lower edge of the rails, and into which they are fastened by suitable wedges. The want of stability in these blocks is already manifest in both of these roads, although 26 Ibid.. XVI, (December, 1833), P. 420. 27 Ibid.. XVI, (September, 1833). 134 they are not yet completed, and upon one of them, the Pennsylvania road, locomotive engines have not yet run. The blocks have in some places sunk so as to render the line of the rail undulating to such an extent as to be visible while passing along it. In some places also the rails were so far separated as to allow the wheels of the loco motive engine to fall between them.28 Much of the land through which rails were laid was through sparsely settled communities where passengers and freight were comparatively scarce. The early American rails were British, due to the fact that duty on railroad iron was removed. It was largely because of this that America did not produce her own rails until 1840 when the use of steel for rails began to appear.^9 Many strange inventions were patented in regard to the railroad construction. Three of these were supposed to be improvements in a substitution for rails and for motive power. The first of these was a patent secured by John Gardiner of Washington who proposed the running of rails upon wheels Instead of wheels upon rails. The carriages to be used were to be made with runners like sledges or sleighs. The advantages claimed were that the plan would be very economical and less subject to frost and the obstruction of snow than the usual railroad. It was also Ibid., p. 156. ^9 Waldemar Kaempffert, A Popular History of American Invention. I, pp. 11-13. 135 claimed that the carriage could cross rivers which might happen to have obstructed passage, if the carriages were built like gondolas The second of these aids to transportation was one advocated by John Seekers of Maryland. His plan was to cover the whole surface upon which transportation was to be made, with sheets of iron. Such a road, it was suggest ed, might become a substitute for railroads, canals, and common roads. This scheme was quite openly ridiculed in the Journal.^^ The last contrivance was also invented by John J. Seekers, In this instance he constructed a railroad carriage by which a pendulum assisted by the weight of the carriage, was to aid the carriage in ascending inclined planes. The Editor of the Journal marveled much on the manner in which a pendulum could be made to assist a carriage in going up a hill, especially with the added weight of the load of the carriage. He left the situation with the following query: "Mill not a double load give double assistance in going up hill?".32 The Journal of the Franklin Institute, VII, (June, 1829), p. 413.----------------------------------- Ibid.. VI, (August, 1828), pp. 212-213. Ibid., IX, (February, I830), p. 162. 136 Prior to 1840 activity In railroad construction was in the main more noticeable in Pennsylvania. As early as 1835f^^ennsylvania had over two hundred miles of railroads, about one-fourth of the mileage of the United States. The railroad construction had progressed practically unchecked by the panic of 1837* However, the railroad of this per iod was still in the experimental stage. It was at this time that a foundation was laid from which the powerful Industry, so necessary in the scheme of later years, was to come. Another major group of inventions consisted in improvements patented for easier life in the home. Al though the success of these inventions was not outstanding, the attempt on the part of these inventors to lighten the burden for those who oared for the home was the beginning of a vast array of improvements. The first improvement, as judged by the number of patents recorded, was for the washing machine. To attempt to describe these many machines would take considerable time. Scores of them are listed in the Journal during this period which caused the Editor to become impatient with most of them. In the August issue of the Journal the Edi tor described the washing machine situation very adequately in the following words: 137 The patents for washing machines are so numerous, and the family likeness in many of them so strik ing, that mere description wilLrarely suffice to distinguish one from the other.^3 In July of the following year another article appeared ex plained the condition in this manner: We wish it universally known that all possible washing machines had been long since invented, abandoned, and reinvented until all conceivable permutations upon every round, rubber, and squeezers had been exhausted. We had rather visit the kitchen on a wash day, then to be compelled to describe "a new and useful machine for washing clothes, churn ing butter, and other purposes not heretofore known or used.34 Again In October of 1830 this situation was alluded to in the Editor's remarks: Notwithstanding the strong characteristic re semblance which exists between the leaves of any particular tree, it will be found upon close ex amination that each leaf differs from its fellow; it has a vein, a notch, or a curvature, which marks its identity; if such be the fact as regards the millions of leaves upon trees of the same species, it will readily be believed that the analogy may be extended to washing machines, which are counted by the hundred only.35 As a typical example of the type of a washing machine which were constructed and patented during this period, one invented by Eber Blodget of New York is 35 Ibid.. VI, (August, 1828), p. 135. 54 Ibid.. VIII, (July, 1829), p. 25. 55 Ibid.. X, (October, 1830), p. 227. 138 described as follows: A rectangular trough, or a box to contain water. Across the bottom of the trough, are rollers placed near each other, and nearly touching the bottom. Above this is placed a fluted washboard, from the center of which rises a pin or standard, passing into a lever working on a pin on one side of the box, and pushed backwards and forwards by its opposite extremity between the rollers and the washboard the clothes are placed.36 Although these machines were very inadequate, they were the beginning of what should in later years be perfected. Patents for improving the construction of the stove appeared also In abundance. In the first volume of the Journal the-Franklin Institute offered, among the list of desired articles, a premium for the best practical and economical stove which could be constructed. The medal was awarded to Joseph Page the following October over a number of other entries.^7 The first stoves which appeared were, in construction, quite similar to a parlor grate behind which was constructed an oven to be used for boiling and cooking. In others, instead of the oven being placed be hind the fire, it was located below the fire. Other models were constructed in which the body of the stove was a 56 Ibid.. VII, (February, 1829), p. 195. 57 The Franklin Journal and, toerlcan Mechanics' Magazine, II, (October, 1826j, p. 264. 139 rectangular iron box which closed in front with folding doors. These boxes contained sliding grates. The tops of these boxes were perforated to receive boilers under which the grate could be drawn while the roasting was affected at the front end. Concerning the frequent notices of new inventions for stoves, the Editor commented: Patents for cooking stoves and ovens are nearly as numerous as those for washing machines and in great number of instances the family resemblance of the former are nearly as striking as those of the latter, and the patentees themselves, are puzzled to tell what is their invention excepting they apply the term to a mere contortion.3o There were a great number of patents recorded for improvements in building materials. One of these was the constant appearance of numbers of machines for the making of bricks. Some of these were invented with the purpose of making bricks to be used as building material, others were concerned with the thought of making bricks directly from clay without going through the usual process of mixing it into mortar. The machinery for this type were very complex and c o m plete.39 Qit. ^He J o u rn a l o f th e F r a n k lin I n s t i t u t e . V I I , (F e b ru a ry , 1S29), p . 121. 140 Early in 1826 a manufacturer from Baltimore devised an oil cloth which he used to cover parts of the roof of his paint grinding establishment. Several years later he found that that part of the roof was tighter than any other part of the roof. He, therefore, began increasing the strength of the oil cloth and sold it to various factories to cover the buildings. The only addition which was speci fied as necessary for this roofing, was an annual coat of paint. Shingle making machines were numerous, for this seemed to be the most common method of protecting the roofs from the elements of the weather. One invented in 1828 is described in the Journal as follows: A circular stationary platform is erected of sixteen feet, or more, in diameter, which is the foundation, or bed of the whole machinery. A strong pivot, or gudgeon, projects up from the center of this bed, and near its periphery there is a strong knife, placed with its edges as high above the platform as the intended thickness of the shingles. Under the edge of the knife, the platform is perforated like the stock of a plane, to allow the cut shingles to pass through. Wheels, equal in diameter to the platform are made to re volve upon the pivot or gudgeon on the center of the bed. This carries boxes in which the blocks from which the shingles are to be cut, are secured. A lever or arm extends out from this wheel to which a horse may be attached; or the wheel may be 40 The Franklin J ournal and American Mechanics' Magazine. I, (March, 1826), P* 172. 141 turned by water or other power.4I The invention of the swinging stage, which we find so useful today, was made during this period. It was designed to enable workmen to ascend and descend the side of buildings in order to perform the duty of the painting of houses or the building of them.42 The power of the weather was thwarted by another invention. John Johnson of Massachusetts invented a device whereby through the means of strips of wood regulated by springs the wind and water could be prevented from driving under the doors of h o m e s .43 A reflection of the period can also be found in the number of patents which were secured for various means of preventing bedbugs from infesting the beds. One patented by James Cook proposed to put a cup and socket of tin under each bed post. The dish which surrounded the bedstead was to be filled with oil to prevent the bugs from climbing up the posts. The patentee called this contrivance, "The Night Angels." The Editor wondered if such a name was given because these cups were to keep guard at the four 41 The Journal of the Franklin Institute. VI, (August, 1Ô28), p. 2 6 1. 42 Ibid.. VII, (May, 1829), p. 340. Ibid.. VII, (June, 1829), p. 420. 142 corners of the bed to prevent the "approach of the Imps of Satan."44 There were other designs for improvements in furni ture during this period. Whether the "round table" idea received its initiation during this period may be questioned. Nevertheless, a patent was received for a table whose cen ter revolved by a pivot. The center of the table was small enough to leave the outer table with enough space for plates, knives, and forks. The various dishes which con tained the dinner, were to be placed upon the center piece which circulated around at the convenience of those who ate. 45 Several patents were secured for the improvement of the piano, but none were outstanding for this period. Many types of lamps were invented, most of which were to burn oil; the difference in the lamps, it seems, was in the manner of getting the oil up through the wick. Among the miscellaneous inventions which the writer has included in this category are the inventions which did not seem to fit into any of the above divisions. The first of these was an apartment bell system. This system was 44 Ibid.. VIII, (July, 1829), p. 187. ^5 Ibid.. VI, (August, 1828), p. 253. 143 described in the Journal in the following manner: A box or case is fixed in the room, contain ing the bell, within this box are a number of sliding bars corresponding with the number of apartments from which bell wires are to be ex tended. There are also a number of plates of metal, equal to the number of sliding bars, or of wire. These plates are so constructed that when a wire is pulled, one of the plates of metal tilts, by action of its corresponding bar, and a disk, attached to it, having the number of the room on it, projects through a groove formed in a brass plate at one end of the box and thus indicates the apartment when the ser vant is wanted. Each of the bars is made to act upon the same bell, and when a second wire is pulled, it replaces the index of the former as its own is displayed.^® Men of the period were looking for ways of protect ing the homes which they built from destruction by fire. This is revealed through several inventions patented for the Improvement of the fire-engine. In September of 1826, a patent was secured for a fire ladder, the principle of which was to have a ladder which could be extended to various lengths so as to enable a height of about fifty feet to be attached. In order to elevate the ladder, a windlass was fixed to the upper part of the carriage. On turning the windlass, the ladder would be elevated.^7 Ibid.. IX, (January, 1830), p. 27. 47 Franklin J ournal and American Mechanics' Magazine, IÏ, (September, 1826), p. l45. 144 Two inventions were secured for fire-engines. One was received in the latter part of I850 by John Oerand of Baltimore. The method that he proposed was to increase the pressure of the water by using hydraulic fire-engines. In order to make this effective, two cylinders, each with caps or domes, were to be placed one within the other. A space of an inch was to be left between each. The inner cylin der was to be suspended within the outer. The engine operated as the common air vessel. The Journal for January, 1835» records the granting of another patent for a fire-engine. This one was invented by Thomas A. Chandler of New York. The idea of this engine was to use two pipes from the engine to discharge twice as much water on the fire if such a situation was necessary. The specifications stated: There are four cylinders, their centers form ing a rectangle, and their pistons having rods formed into racks, which take into segment wheels, upon the shaft of the levers that work the pistons. The water of the four barrels is to be forced into a common receptacle where furnished with an air vessel and with two discharging pipes in order, if necessary, to play two streams at once.49 There was considerable experimentation in the field 48 journal of the Franklin Institute, XI, (January, 103l)» p. 161. ^9 Ibid.. XIV, (January, 1835), PP. 187-188. 145 of agriculture. The people were an agrarian people and, therefore, the Invention and perfection of new types of farm machinery was of great benefit and interest to the inhabitants of the United States. The threshing machine came in for its share of experimentation during these years. Horses were used in . some machines for power in the same manner as they had been employed in supplying the power for early railroads by hav ing the horse supplying the energy by traveling upon an inclined wheel. This motion gave energy to the threshing cylinders with their beaters. These beaters were quite numerous, eight or more, and were used in the manner of stampers. For the most part, these machines were operated by hand. As an example of the typical type of machine inven ted during this period and patented was one issued to Thomas G. Owan. In this machine the grain was to be threshed by eight vertical beaters which were placed side by side to be lifted alternately by cams, in the manner of regular stampers. The grain was to be placed upon an in clined floor, behind the beaters, and drawn forward by being pressed by fluted rollers, one placed over the other. The rollers were turned by a vertical shaft which geared 146 the wheels and turned the rollers in the opposite direc tion. Several machines were produced to assist in the planting of corn. One called the "Parmer*s Assistant" patented in 1829 was described in the Journal: A carriage is framed together; this runs upon two wheels connected together by a roller of such length as to allow of the planting of two rows of corn at the same time. The circumference of the wheel is equal to twice the distance at which the corn is to be planted. There are two hoppers, over the cylinders within the wheels, to contain the corn, with two cups holding the number of grains intended to be dropped, there being two droppings in each revolution of the wheel.5 1 The condition of the plough for these years was rather deplorable. The farmer and the inventor were at a loss to know what to do to make a plough that would be suitable in every kind of soil. Men all through these earlier years were continously securing Inventions for new kinds of ploughs. By January, 1829, there were about one hundred varieties of ploughs models in the Patent Office. Throughout the entire twenty-two volumes of the Journal which the writer has examined, only one reference was found concerning a steel plough, and this was only a small notice, 50 Ibid.. IX, (February, X830), p. 139. 51 Ibid.. VII, (April, 1829), p. 263. 147 . This plough is to he made in part of wood, in part of iron, and in part of steel; the iron be ing intended to strengthen the wood, and the steel to give all reasonable durability to the iron.52 Two patents were recorded for improvements on the cotton gin. The first of these was one invented by John Eubank of Kentucky in which he proposed to clean the cotton from the seed. The other was invented by David Jefferson of Mississippi. The improvement claimed in this specifica tion was in the form of an added breast board and press box. The notice stated that less power would be required, and that one quarter more cotton could be ginned than in the usual w a y .55 Among the scattered inventions in this category were inventions for corn shellers, hoes, wheat cleaners, and many others. The corn sheller was constructed by Thomas Dean of New York. In this invention the ears of corn were to be dropped lengthwise between a roller and a moveable plank. Below this roller there was a fan for the flowing off of the chaff, thus :leaving the grain free and clean.5^ Townsend Carpenter secured a patent in 1828 for the invention of a machine by which impurities from wheat and 52 Ibid.. XV, (February, 1833), P. 163. 55 Ibid.. VI, (August, 1828), p. 21%. 5^ Ibid.. VII, (February, 1829), p. 193. 148 other grain could be r e m o v e d .55 In July of 1831» the Journal records the invention of William Manning for a mowing machine. As this was such an important invention, it might be of interest to quote part of the specification as given by Mr. Manning: There is an axle tree with two wheels, to which the axle tree shafts are attached, so that a horse may draw the machine. Two arms stretch in the direction of the shafts and are morticed or attached to the axle tree. They are much longer than the shafts so that the horse does not injure itself on. the cutting apparatus. The arms are connected by a bar at their extreme ends, which rests and slides on the ground when the machine is in action. To the cross bar is fastened eight or ten rake teeth which use is to hold the grass as it is cut. A flat bar of iron lies upon the crossbar and is attached to this. They are shaped like a spear and are sharp on each edge. The grass is held by teeth and is run against the knives. A lever extended ^ from the end of the hub gives a traversing action.5o A very amusing patent appeared in the February issue of 1829» It was a patent for the improvement of the shape and carriage of horses. The specifications stated that the method of allowing the animals to feed from the ground or low manger had a bad effect on the posture and shape of the horse. Aaron Carman, therefore, patented the moveable manger which could be adapted to the height of the horse so that the horse would have to stretch his neck in the air 55 Ibid.. VII, (February, 1829), P. 199. 56 Ibid.. XII, (July, 1831), p. 195. 149 to secure his food, thus giving him grace and poise.57 In the field of medicine, noteworthy first is the system of medicine which was patented by Samuel Thomson, called Thomsonianism. The method was composed of first, a sweating process by hot bricks and hot tea, secondly, a process of vomiting was effected to produce relaxation, and thirdly, a liquid for cramps was administered; these were the chief remedies. Due to the policy of not printing in the Journal recipes which were patented, the Journal did not go into detail as to the composition of these reme dies.58 In August, 1828, Daniel Smith of Connecticut secured a patent for cough drops.59 Three improvements were made in the form of patents for the care of teeth. One of these was in 1829, and secured by Anthony Planton of Pennsylvania. Concerning this, the J ournal recorded: Till this important improvement, one or two small pieces of platina were inserted into the teeth at the time of their fabrication, which much weakened the teeth and very often caused them to split in the baking, or in the soldering, and move often came out or separated itself from the teeth when in use; all these great disadvan tages are obviated by not inserting any plating 57 Ibid.. VII, (February, 1829), p. 123. 58 Ibid.. VII, (February, 1829), p. 130. Ibid.. VI, (August, 1828), p. 11%. 150 Into the teeth at the time of their fabrication, and instead of it, to make, with a small wire, a hole through the teeth, which after the baking is stopped or filled up with silver, or platina, and gold solder melted on both extremities of it. Teeth made so and of good material, never will break, or separate themselves from the wire nor the wire from the plate; which brings the art of the dentist to its perfection, for artificial teeth.50 The second patent secured for the improvement of teeth was for a toothbrush with a handle which folded, causing it to enclose the brush. On this novelty the Editor reflected; We should be very apprehensive that tooth brushes made as described by the patentee, must be sold at a price which would prevent their employment to any considerable extent. ¥e have seen brushes with a screw handle, and a small case, offering we think, all the advantages pro posed and recommended by their greater simpli- _ city; but even these we have rarely seen in use. In January, 1831» the Journal records an invention by Ira Rutherford of New York for the extraction of teeth. The Editor did not seem to think that this would prove very satisfactory as he said that those dentists who had such instruments did not use them, but used a well constructed key instead.52 6o Ibid.. VII, (May, 1829), p. 3%5. Ibid.. V, (June, 1859), P. 565. Ibid.. XI, (January, 1831), pp. 300-301. 151 patents were secured by Americans for processes In the making of cloth. The most outstanding step in the direction of progress was made by John Thorpe of Rhode Island in 1828. In that year, he obtained a patent for what was called the ring spinner. The leading feature of this was the substitution of the frame for eight steel hoops or travelers; these ran upon the upper edge of a ring surrounding a spindle. This type of spinning was used quite extensively, especially in the manufacturing of cotton. ^5 There were a few patents recorded for the improve ment of weaving. The majority of them were quite minor in importance. In 1833 the Journal recorded the improvement made by Samuel Batchelder of Maine in the mode of dressing yarn. The claim set forth by Mr. Batchelder was: The using of a cylinder of metal, heated by steam or otherwise, in the usual place of measur ing rollers, or in any other situation where they can be placed in contact with the yarn for the purpose of drying it, instead of the fans, or heat ed air, theretofore employed for that purpose. In 1829 Enoch Burt of Massachusetts constructed a loom which was called a "check and plaid loom," by which by the shifting of the shuttle any form or pattern or ® Ibid.. X, (September, I830), p. 152. Ibid.. XI, (January, 1833), P. 38. 152 picture could be made without interrupting the motion of the loom.^5 Various new experiments in phases of clothing arose during this period. Industry was ready to take these in ventions and use them in the numerous places of manufacture. There were several machines devised to stimulate the hat industry. One invented by Henry Tenr^ was made to improve the making of hat bodies.Machines for felting and napping hats were constructed by which one individual was able to perform the labor of four. In June, 1828, David Mason secured a patent for a new method of printing calico by means of etching. Before this invention, the method used, was by punch, which con tained figures of rosettes, leaves, circles and other fig ures. With this new improvement, the figures were united and trimmed with a graver on the steel cylinders or mills by means of etching.5? The Journal describes an interesting knitting machine in the July issue of 1831. The Editor commented favorably upon this machine. ^5 Ibid.. V, (June, 1828), p. 418. 56 Ibid.. XI, (October, 1830), p. 6. 57 Ibid.. V, (June, 1828), p. 418. 153 The machine for which this patent is taken mani fests an uncommon degree of ingenuity on the part of the inventor. There is a working model of it deposited in the Patent Office which we have seen in operation, and although not executed in a work manlike manner, it operates sufficiently well to remove all doubt respecting the goodness of the work which it may be made to execute. The differ ent parts of the machine are set in motion by the turning of a crank. The loops are stitches of the article to be knit, or teeth which partially surround a horizontal wheel, and project upwards like the teeth of a crown wheel. The stocking is knit by it with the seam open, as in the common stocking frame. When the stitches are extended to a sufficient width, the motion of the crank is reversed and the wheel is thus moved in an opposite direction.58 Samuel Breeds, in 1833» secured a patent for the cementing of the sole of a shoe to the main body of the shoe. In doing this, the shoe and sole were to be satur ated with a solution of caoutchouc or India Rubber. The two soles were to be placed on the shoe and covered by a plate of cast iron with sufficient pressure added to bring all parts into contact with the intended parts.^^ Charles Goodyear of Pennsylvania secured an inven tion during this period for an improved method of fasten ing buttons to garments. The article described the inven tion in this manner: The improvements which the said Charles Goodyear claims consists in the manner of fastening between I b i d . .

To name and comment upon the endless number of minor inventions patented for improvements in the loom, felting, and machines for cutting pins would be a considerable task and not of outstanding value. In general, improvements for machines for this type of industry were produced by the manufacturing industries which in turn were ready to receive new ideas. The Journal mentions that the advance of this industry was so pronounced that England was forced to abandon many of her methods of production to adopt the American improvements or be undersold.71 There were great numbers of patents recorded during these years for various improvements in the printing press. In April 1829, Samuel Rust of New York secured a patent for a press which has been set forth as a mark in the progress of the printing press. The Journal, however, does not seem to be of the same opinion for the notice is not very en thusiastic concerning it. The notice reads: 70 Ibid., XI, (January, 1831) » P* !507. ^ Account of the Destruction by Fire of the North and West Hall, p. 15# 155 The printing press, upon which the present improvements are made, is one of the progression lever kind, and is well known among printers, upon the former patent several improvements are claimed, hut they are generally matters of detail, the principle of the press remaining u n c h a n g e d .72 In 1835 Otis Tufts of Boston secured a patent for a printing press which was able to supply the press with paper. This was done by having two friskets, one of which was under the impression; the paper last printed was to be removed from the second frisket as it was printed, and a new one was to be supplied from the other s i d e .75 There was a great abundance of inventions patented for the making of paper. Some of the paper was to be made from rags, others from straw or corn husks and dry leaves. In August of 1828, Oayetano Lanuza of New York secured a patent for the application of blue ink to writing paper to secure ruled lines.7^ As a means of writing upon the paper which was being made, both the fountain pen and mechanical pencil were patented and improved upon during this period. The "Ever- Pointed Pencil," as it was called, was invented by William 7^ The Journal of the Franklin Institute. VIII, (July, 1829T7 p. 17. Ibid..

There were announcements previous to this notice of pencils of this nature, but the specifi cations were not complete and therefore the descriptions were limited. The construction of these pencils was very similar in the fundamental aspects to those which we have today. The lead was forced out of the pencil by means of a spring within the case which pressed upon the lead and forced it out.75 An important contribution was made by Isaac Kirk of Philadelphia in the cutting of marble. Concerning this the Editor remarked: We are informed that in sawing a large block of marble in the ordinary way, from six to eight square feet is accounted a good day* s work; but that in the cutting of small blocks, a workman can rarely cut more than two or three feet. Ten times as much can be effected by^Kirk* s machinery, when operating on small blocks.75 The array of patents was endless for this period. Most of the valuable discoveries were centered around some industry either in the form of something new, or in some improvement, so as to simplify methods and reduce the cost of production. It was a productive era; a period of growth and ex pansion, even in the field of inventions. 75 Ibid.. VIII, (July, 1829), p. 39. Ibid.. XV, (May, 1833) , P. 32.6. CHAPTER V SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania has had a long and successful history. The ideas and ideals set forth in the prospectus were carefully followed. Only a few weeks elapsed between the organization meeting and the first session of the schools established by the Institute. The formation of a standing Committee on Instruction, charged with the duty of directing the educa tional work, made it possible to maintain a continuous pro gram of education for the mechanics, and others interested in science and the arts. The success of these schools was marked. The high school established by the Institute was the first of its kind in Philadelphia and became the pat tern for the Central High School as part of the public high school of Philadelphia. The number of those in atten dance at these schools was gratifying and credit for pro moting the educational opportunities for mechanics and young artisans should be given to the members of the Insti tute . The library established by the organization grew slowly. It suffered, as did the model collection, from the want of funds for its support. The founding of the Journal in 1826 made possible the policy of exchange relations with 158 other societies, leading magazines, and periodicals devoted to the sciences and useful arts. This addition gave to the library the distinctive character which it has since main tained. It now houses the publications of the chief scien tific and technical societies of the world and the princi pal periodicals in the scientific and mechanical field. Another noteworthy addition to the value of the library is the rare collection of patent records among which are those of the United States, Great Britain, and France. The Institute was also conspicuously prominent in the program of maintaining exhibitions. These exhibitions of American manufacture were the first of their kind in the United States and contributed greatly toward the promotion and encouragement of new industries and better workmanship. Constant reference was made to the improvement of the finished product by the American manufacturers. The gather ing together of the products of the nation* s industries excited justifiable rivalry among those who participated and tended each year to bring forth better products. These exhibitions also gave attention to : the fact that America was becoming increasingly interested in machines. Because of the reliable reputation which the Insti tute had maintained from its conception, various branches of government entrusted to the Institute special 159 i investigations on public works. These reports have been quoted and used in America and in Europe and contributed greatly toward the progress in science and useful knowledge. An enormous amount of time was spent by the members of the Institute in these pursuits and the work was done scienti- . fically and thoroughly. No feature of The Franklin Institute demonstrates the sincerity of its devotion to the promotion of manufac tures and the mechanic and useful arts, as the democratic character by which it is distinguished. Membership was open to men and women without regard to racial distinction, nationality or religion. Admission was open to those of good character and friendly interest. Artisans and pro fessors met together on an equal footing, each contributing to the common store of knowledge. In a cross section view of the first ten years of The Journal of The Franklin Institute, one is conscious of . the wealth of historical information and value stored with in the pages. Today it is one of the oldest publications in America devoted to science and the useful arts. The issues are filled with unmatched contributions relating to the infant industries of America, the progress and growth of science, and development of the Institute. The greatest contribution, as concerned the writer of this paper, lay 160 In the valuable record of patented inventions listed in the monthly issues of the Journal. The record would have been important from an historical viewpoint under any circum stance, but due to two important factors, the value of this Journal assumes an even greater*magnitude when it is known that no specifications or claims of patents issued by the United States before 1843 were recorded in the patent records. In I836 a devastating fire consumed the existing records leaving no trace of their content. Hence the Journal of The Franklin Institute has become the only auth entic record of American patents other than those in the possession of the patentees for the period of time covered in this paper and in addition, the years extending to 1843* Dr. Thomas P. Jones, who was the Editor of the Jour nal and for some time Superintendent of Patents, worked unceasingly to bring the inventions before the readers of the magazine. His remarks concerning the importance or value of the discoveries were accurate and unbiased. He was highly respected and devoted his.life to the task which he had chosen to do, namely, to write and to edit The Jour nal of The Franklin Institute. The patent laws which were in existence during the decade covered in this paper correlated interestingly with the number of patents issued and with the difficulty or I6l • ease by wblcb patents could be secured. The original law of 1790 made strict scrutiny of each patent necessary, and, as a consequence, very few patents were issued until the law was changed. In 1793 the exact opposite became true. No examination into the value of the discovery was made and; countless inventions were patented which were valueless. It was not until I836 that a law was passed which adequately cared for the situation. Under this act, patent claims were examined, and the permanent foundation upon which the future patent regulations were enacted, were laid. The period con tributed a product of law making, parts of which are in full rigor today. â review of the inventions which characterized this period brings to light a decade of ingenious enterprise. Labor-saving devices were in abundance. Equipment was be ing designed for improvement in home life. Progress was made in navigation and transportation, particularly on rail. The problems encountered by the engineers who were employed by the various companies were overcome in many aspects dur ing this period. The plough and particularly the thresher were patented many times over by the farmers of the nation. Other machines for mowing grass, hulling rice, and improv ing the cotton gin were developed. The improvements which were patented for the textile industry were as numerous. 162 Newer methods of spinning and weaving improved the finished product and better materials were worn by people as a re sult. Progress in printing, medicine, and writing equip ment continues the array of improvements. For each industry men were ready to use the real values produced by the inventors of this decade, and American industry received its impetus. BIBLIOGRAPHE BIBLIOGRAPHE A.
