Feed Governor for Cotton Gins.
Description:
Patent for a new and improved feed-governor for cotton gins. This design "feed[s] to the saws a layer of cotton that is thinner in the center, and the suction of the inner saws will draw in from the thicker edges formed by [this] governor such a portion of cotton as shall make the whole supply to the gin-saws even and regular, thereby preventing all the choking [of existing gins]" (lines 90-96).
