Synopsis

Abridgments Of The Specifications Relating To Sewing And Embroidering by B. Woodcroft is a historical reference work produced under the British Patent Office. It presents short abstracts or abridgments of patent specifications across sewing and embroidery topics, organized to serve as chronological, subject-matter, reference, and alphabetical indexes for the class of inventions. The volume includes a Preface explaining the purpose: to make the increasingly numerous patent specifications more accessible to inventors and others by providing concise abstracts, while directing readers to the full specifications for details. Content spans extensive archival material, including an index of names and a long sequence of patent entries from the 18th and 19th centuries, describing machinery for tambouring, bobbin net lace, lace embroidery, sewing machines, needles, shuttles, feeding mechanisms, and related textile technologies. It also outlines reference tools such as chronological, alphabetical, and subject-matter indexes, and lists printed references and serials for further consultation. The work serves as a foundational resource for researchers tracing the development of sewing and embroidery technologies within patent history.
