Description
ELI F. SOUTHWARD, OF WELLFLEET, MASSACHUSETTS.
METHOD OF MAKING SAILS.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 8,343, dated September 9, 1851.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ELI F. SOUTHWARD, of IVellfleet, in the county of Barnstable invented a new and Improved Method of Making the Square Sails of Ships and other SquareRigged Vessels; and I do hereby declare that the -following is a full, clear, and eXact description of my invention.
The nature of my invention consists in so arranging the cloths of the square sails that the whole cloths are at the leeches and run parallel with the leeches, and the goring cloths all meet in the bunt of the sail, arranging the straight cloths as in Plate 1, Figures 2 and 3, numbered l, 2, 3, 4c, 5, 6, &c., and the goring cloths as in same plate and ligure numbered l0, l1, l2.
To enable others skilled in the art of sail making to use my invention I here describe its construction.
As in a ships mainsail, Plate l, Fig. l, I bring the clot-h in a straight line with the leech as shown at letter A, and in the center of the sail I bring the short goring cloths together as shown at letter B, and line them with a whole cloth or less as shown at letter C, from the head to the foot of the sail in the bunt. f
Figs. 2 and 3 in Plate 1 represent the same arrangement of cloths and mode of const-ruction in topsails, and top gallant sails. and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have [Plate 2 represents the ordinary mode of arranging the goring cloths at the leeches] The advantages of my invention are that the greatest strain upon the leeches is brought upon the cloths best able to bear it, and upon the thread of the cloth. That the bunt lines and clue lines run nearly parallel with the cloths and chafe fewer cloths in the sail. That the sail will keep its shape better, and lay flatter to the wind and that t-he cloth in all the sails running in the same line adds greatly to the beauty and symmetry of the vessels appearance.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The bringing straight cloths upon the leeches and making all thehead cloths parallel therewith, and uniting the goring cloths in the bunt of the sail as described above.
ELI F. SOUTHWARD.
