Wood-Paper Patent, The U.S. 566 (1874)

handle is hein.slavery/ussccases0471 and id is 1 raw text is: THE WOOD-PAPER PATENT. Syllabus. long before the alleged invention under consideration, were folded by laying upon the unfinished side of the same a piece of tin having at one edge the required curve, which enabled the manipulator to accomplish the same object by pressing upward over such curve a part of the collar so as to mark the line of the curve and crease the paper preparatory to turning the collar over, which enabled -the laundress to accomplish the same object as the means described in the specification of the patent.
