Comments
Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. This is one of the recovered patents.
For a Churn; Joseph Turner, Poland, Cumberland county, Maine, August 15.
“This churn has a formidable array of levers, rods, and connecting joints, by which two dashers are to be worked up and down in an oblong square box; we do not think it worth the space which would be required to describe it, or to furnish the claim; the former would show a complete mode of effecting that which has been repeatedly, and as well, done by more simple means; and the latter a variety of mistakes in supposing old things to be new.”
Description from the Journal of the Franklin Institute, V17, Jan 1836, pg. 195
