Comments
This patent's specification survives but the drawing is lost. According to a research paper from Old Sturbridge Village, The Maine Historical Society has in its collection a bill of sale: “Bill of Sale of Cyrus Cummings of Cumberland, Joshua M. Rideout and George W. King of Portland to Jonathan Hobbs of Falmouth, their rights in Hobbs' invention of machine for sawing clapboards and shingles”. It is dated September 18, 1832. Hobbs also received an 1836 patent for a shingle machine, {25}. That design uses a circular saw and a traveling carriage for the log.
