His invention was regarded as the greatest improvement to the planing machine to date allowing one to perform what had then required 25 laborers to do. Having little funds to take advantage of his patent he sold all but a portion of the rights to a syndicate consisting of Samuel Schenck John Gibson and Samuel Pitts who bought out his partner James Strong in the process. After making minor improvements to the machine Woodworth applied for and was granted a new patent in 1836. After his death in 1839 the patent passed on to his son William W. Woodworth with Jason G. Wilson and Edward Bloomer and they went on to request an extension to the patent in 1842 and again in 1845. Although the patent office initially rejected this last extension the patent owners bribed members of Congress and the patent was not only renewed but now expanded to include the Uri Emmons' patent which had expired in 1829. Tired of paying such a large royalty lumber merchants and carpenters started one of the earliest community organizing campaigns in the country in opposition to the extension of the patent which they considered as granting a monopoly to the patent holders. A firestorm of protest ensued when William W. Woodworth sought yet another extension in 1850 and an article in a 1852 issue of Scientific American proclaimed that the "public are now paying fifteen millions of dollars a year for work done by the Woodworth machines" arguing that other machines could do the same for only 3 million. This time the extension was denied and the patent was allowed to expire in 1856.</p><p>RARE.</p> [Washington, D.C.] (Hamilton, Printer), (1852). paperback

195017916<p>Lindau Germany: Lutterloh n.d. ca. 1950 An illustrated manual translated from the German on the Lutterloh System a method of pattern-cutting created by Maria Lutterloh in the 1930s based on The Golden Ratio. From the title page: "From the earliest times artists painters and sculptors have applied their special units fo measure for the proportions of the human body – and also in architecture. The classical measure is the golden rule sectio aurea. The golden rule is considered the origin and the source of all beauty and harmony in the entire universe. What music is to the ear so is the measurement of the golden rule to the eye." Contents include prefatory essays on "How to Dress from the Morning to the Evening" and "The Art of Cutting" followed by over 100 pages of charming illustrated dress figures and a further 200-plus pages of cutting/sewing diagrams.

Binder in very good condition. Pages exceptionally clean and bright throughout. Two leaves towards mid-section torn at lower ring-hole. A very good copy. Little is known about Maria Lutterloh herself but the dressmaking method she pioneered survives to this day under the brand name Luttlerloh System International: "In 1935 Maria Agienberger Lutterloh had a vision. Drawing from the profound beauty and balance of the Golden Ratio she devised an ingenious system for dressmaking. This wasn't just any method—it was a revelation allowing dressmakers to craft customized patterns from a single template all inspired by this timeless proportion… Today Lutterloh System International stands as a beacon for those who seek the perfect fusion of art and function. Dive deep with us into this world where the Golden Ratio is not just a principle—it's a promise of unparalleled beauty and precision" Lutterloh System International The Golden Rule page.</p> Lutterloh,
