No. 130,672, having been granted to faim August 20, 1872, and reiosued to him, as No. 5,725, January 6, 1874. The following is the specifi- cation of reissue No. 6,761, including what is outside of brackets and what is inside of brackets, and omitting what is in italics: �" This invention relates to a new form for holding [and a new method of putting up] braided or other threads, and [it] consista in [pasteboard. card,or other equivalent material, notchedj notohing a eard at the ends [so as} to pro- duce visible and accurate subdivisions of the skeins wound thereonj [and also in perforating or equivalently weakening or cutting such card length- wise to allow convenient separation of any one or more of the sections of card with the thread or skein upon it.] This is for the purpose of keeping the skeins so fully separated that they cannot become entangled, and that they can — each skein containing a certain length of thread — be [separated] eut apart with their sections of card, [so as] to fumish a desired measure of thread or braid. A, in the drawing, represents the card [or form] around which the braided or plain thread, cord, or tape is wound length wise.

In this manner the eard is subdivlded into a series of narrow sections, 6 b, [each] all containing [a certain] equai [quantity] quantitiesoi the fabric, the projecting prongs, d d, between the recesses, a, keeping the several skeins properly separated. The card may be perforated [or otherwise equivalently weakened or eut] length wise [along aline or Unes, indicated by the broken line or Unes in figure 1 of the drawings, so as] to allow convenient [separation] detaehment of any one or more of the [skeins with their sections of card, 6,] sections, h, vrith the cord on it, so that, in retail trade, the skeins can be dis- posed of separately without requiring their unwinding and special measure- ment.
