Material: Abstract: This collection helps to document the history of Singer Manufacturing Company during the period 1860 through 1880. After success in forming one of the first U.S. patent pools the Singer Company was ready to capitalize and built several new factories. Since the demand for family sewing machines had increased substantially, Singer made it economically possible to buy the new and improved machines by offering installment payment plans. ^ Return to Table of Contents Historical Note The Singer Manufacturing Company was incorporated in 1863; twelve years after Isaac Merrit Singer (1811-1875) obtained patent no. 8294 on August 12, 1851 for his improved sewing machine. The machine took him less than 2 weeks to design and build. Singer was not interested in sewing machines or the sewing industry when he came to Boston in 1850 to promote and manufacture a wood carving machine he had invented. With his friend George Zieber, he obtained space in a small Boston machine shop. Singer's plan was to exhibit the wonders of his carving machine which he thought would revolutionize furniture making. It is reported that Singer's wood carving machine had been destroyed in an explosion. The machine shop owner, Orson Phelps, was becoming increasingly frustrated with repairs he was making on current sewing machines. Realizing what a master machinist Singer was, Phelps asked for his opinion on improving the machine. Singer immediately saw the weaknesses and soon had ideas for a better running machine. With capital supplied by George Zieber of $40.00, Singer had the model completed in 11 days. The market was flooded with inferior sewing machines which had also been issued patents. Singer was sued by Elias Howe Jr. for patent infringement but would not pay the damages because Singer knew there was a patent issued prior to Howe's' for a sewing machine - [Singer eventually paid Howe due to - Page 3- Singer Manufacturing Company Records 2526 a lower court's ruling.] Isaac Singer met attorney Edward Clark in the 1850s, offering him partnership in Singer Manufacturing Company in exchange for Clark's handling of all litigation. Noted attorney and entrepreneur Orlando B. Potter was president of Grover and Baker. The sewing machine war had begun and it was Potter that reportedly came up with the idea of forming a 'patent pool' by bringing together as many sewing machine patent holders and administering said patents as a commercial trust. By 1856, these four parties, I.M. Singer & Co., Wheeler, Wilson & Co., Grover & Baker, and Howe, owned the patents that covered the basic features of the sewing machine as a commercial product. Howe initially opposed it, but the others convinced him to join the patent pool by giving Howe special interests that included a royalty of $5 for each sewing machine sold in the United States and $1 for each sewing machine exported to foreign markets. The patent pool lasted until 1877 when the last patent expired. The sewing machine war ended with Singer becoming the industry's dominant manufacturer. I.M. Singer capitalized and was successful in building several new factories. The company also made it economically feasible to buy the new and improved machines by offering installment payment plans. As with televisions a century later, there was a sewing machine in almost every home across the country by the mid 1860s. ^ Return to Table of Contents Scope and Content This collection helps to document the history of Singer Manufacturing Company during the period 1860 through 1880. After success in forming one of the first U.S. patent pools the Singer Company was ready to capitalize and built several new factories. Since the demand for family sewing machines had increased substantially, Singer made it economically possible to buy the new and improved machines by offering installment payment plans. The materials in this collection do not cover the patent pool. However, the 650 documents show the growth of the Singer Manufacturing Company and its numerous sales agents. The handwritten requests for employment, offers of ideas for sewing machine attachments, orders for machines and sewing supplies, as well as complaints are included in this archive. The New York Needle Company, Matteawan Hat Works, and many Singer agents' orders can also be found. An interesting 1865 letter from Havana requesting items gives tips for shipping silk back to Havana without drawing the attention of C.H. (customs house) inspectors. This archive has been divided into four series. Series I. Correspondence (1865-1878) contains incoming and outgoing correspondence that covers orders, complaints, requests for employment; legal communications from various attorneys, adjusters and insurance brokers, including a County Treasurer's office. There is also a letter from Singer Manufacturing Company's Silk Factory and Case Factory. Series II. Agents/Dealers (1870-1872) is arranged alphabetically by agent name and are mainly orders. Series III. Advertisements/Notices (1870) include information of a Sheriff Sale of McLean sewing machines and attachments. Series IV. Singer Offices (1870-1876) which have been arranged alphabetically by state, are largely orders. - Page 4- Singer Manufacturing Company Records 2526 ^ Return to Table of Contents Administrative Information Publication Statement Manuscripts and Archives PO Box 3630 Wilmington, Delaware 19807 [email protected] URL: http://www.hagley.org/library Access restrictions This collection is open for research. ^ Return to Table of Contents Controlled Access Headings • Sewing-machine industry • Sales territories • Sales personnel Collection Inventory Correspondence, 1860-1880 Title/Description Instances Incoming, 1860-1866 box 1 folder 1 Incoming, 1867-1878 box 1 folder 2 Incoming, New York Needle Co., 1877-1878 box 1 folder 3 Legal, 1865-1866 box 1 folder 4 Outgoing, 1865-1869 box 1 folder 5 - Page 5- Singer Manufacturing Company Records 2526 Singer Manufacturing Company's Silk & Case factories, 18711873 box 1 folder 6 ^ Return to Table of Contents Agents/Dealers, 1870-1872 Title/Description Instances A - O, 1870-1872 box 2 folder 1 Russel Crego & Son, 1870-1872 box 2 folder 2 Shaffer, Umpleby & Weeling; W.J.

    Windham Textile & History Museum The Mill Museum June, 2021 As Ye Sew Usually when people think of the inventor of the sewing machine, the name "Elias Howe" pops into mind. But long before Howe patented his design, Charles Weisenthal, a German, was issued a British patent in 1755 for a "needle that is designed for a machine." Unfortunately, neither an illustration, nor a model of this invention survived. In 1790 a patent for a hand-cranked machine was granted to Englishman William Saint, but there is no proof that it was ever used. Then in 1830, Barthélemy Thimonnier, a French tailor, opened the first machine-based clothing manufacturing company to make uniforms for the French army. But there was one drawback - the other local tailors were so afraid that Thimonnier would undercut their trade that they torched his factory - WITH HIM INSIDE! Fortunately, he survived. Perhaps that is why an American, Walter Hunt, didn't patent his design in 1834. He said he was afraid it would lead to massive unemployment. Enter Elias Howe in 1845. After an unsuccessful marketing trip to England, he returned to the States to find that Isaac Merritt Singer had copped his design. Howe sued Singer for Patent Infringement and won. After the dust settled, both men ended up millionaires, and home and commercial sewing were revolutionized. Soon, many other companies entered the market. Sewing machines were one of the first mass- market complex consumer goods distributed around the globe. By 1920 they were nearly everywhere - in cities, towns, and tiny hamlets. There's even a memorable scene in Fiddler on the Roof in which Motel has his new machine blessed by the village of Anatevka's rebbe.

  • MINUTES of the 84Th MEETING of AYNHO HISTORY SOCIETY HELD
    THE 115th MEETING OF AYNHO HISTORY SOCIETY HELD AT THE VILLAGE HALL, AYNHO ON WEDNESDAY 29th APRIL 2019 Present:- Keith McClellan – Chairman Peter Cole – Secretary 1) Secretary’s Report Peter said that he went to the AGM of the Northamptonshire Heritage Forum at Boughton House, Geddington, which was between Kettering and Corby the day after our last meeting. In fact he made it a day trip by going first to the Northants Records Office, which was on the way. One of his reasons for doing this was because at least two people had told him that they thought that Arthur Seccull had been the illegitimate son of Joyce Hobcraft. One of his reasons for going to the Records Office was to go through all the records of towns and villages fairly close to Aynho to see if there was any record of his birth there. He couldn’t find anything, but of course she could have gone to a nearby Oxfordshire village. Going on to the Heritage Forum AGM, he eventually found Boughton House. There were a lot of people from all over the county. He added a further 20 Aynho leaflets to the ones the Secretary had left over from the Brackley meeting, amongst a lot of leaflets from all over the county. He took a lot of other people’s leaflets from the meeting. 2) Keith introduced Jon-Paul Carr to talk on “Inventions and Inventors of Victorian Northamptonshire.” Jon-Paul said that he had been asked by Northampton Museum to give a talk about Victorian Northampton. At that time there had been a programme on television by Adam Hart-Davis on “What did the Victorians do for us?” It made me think – there must have been some inventions at that time in Northants.

  • Mass Production Transportation Elias Howe Clipper Ships Locomotives
    Mass Production • The Industrial Revolution spread from Britain to the U.S. in the early 1800s. • It started in textile industry and spread to other industries. • By 1860, two-thirds of the country’s manufactured goods came from the Northeast. Transportation • Improvements in transportation were vital to the industrial movement. • Factories owners had to be able to quickly bring in raw materials to the factories and finished products to the consumers. • These improvements helped the Northeast continue its industrialization. Elias Howe • He invented the sewing machine in 1846 leading to a boom in the clothing industry. Clipper Ships • These ships could sail as much as 300 miles a day, as fast as steamships of that time. • They increased travel and shipments of goods, which helped industry continue its growth. Locomotives • The Tom Thumb was the first steam locomotive built in the U.S. Railroads • Railways helped to improve trade in the nation’s interior. • The first railroads were constructed in 1830. • Goods were transported faster and more cheaply. • By 1860, the U.S. had about 31,000 miles of railroad track, most in the North and Midwest. • Only one-third of the nation’s rail lines lay within the South by 1860. Samuel Morse • He helped link the country with the development of the telegraph. Farming • Movement to the Great Plains was encouraged with new inventions that made working the prairie sod easier than before. • With the trains and canals, farmers could ship their goods back east cheaper and faster than ever before. Mechanical Reaper • Cyrus McCormick’s invention used to cut grain • reduced the number of field hands needed • led to increased factory workers.

  • Exploring the Relevance of Manual Pattern Cutting Skills in a Technological Environment
    EXPLORING THE RELEVANCE OF MANUAL PATTERN CUTTING SKILLS IN A TECHNOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT BY CATHERINE PRITCHARD A thesis submitted to the University of Bedfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MA by research January 2013 EXPLORING THE RELEVANCE OF MANUAL PATTERN CUTTING SKILLS IN A TECHNOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT CATHERINE PRITCHARD ABSTRACT Are students losing the ability to visualise and instead ‘allowing the computer to do it’? Today there is a requirement for pattern cutters entering the garment industry to use the computerised pattern design system that makes the transporting of patterns to overseas factories quick. Whilst a computer screen can display visual images representing digitised data, this is possibly at the cost of the professional or trainee losing the skill to visualise, an absolute necessity when required to construct a three dimensional design that is illustrated in two dimensions. The aim of this thesis is to look at the relationship between creative manual practice and computerised technology when creating a garment pattern. Through practical studies and background knowledge the advantages and disadvantages of traditional and modern methods are investigated together with what is gained or lost when substituting tactile processes with the computer screen. By personal application it was experienced and documented how to use computer digitisation to create garment patterns. The findings from practical studies to explore the skill of interpretation led to further questions and went on to reveal how important training is as well as the capabilities of an individual. From this outcome the need for change in fashion design courses is suggested with regard to greater training time.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
