Subseries: Patent Files
: The patent files, which are probably only a small portion of the reference materials of this type which once existed in company hands, consist of information on sewing machine patents held by Singer and its competitors. These records are arranged by patent number. Oversize materials such as patent drawings are filed in a parallel sequence. One additional box that has been arranged here contains letters of agreement, correspondence, and reports of returned machines prepared by George Gifford, receiver for the sewing machine patent combination. The agreements identify companies licensed to manufacture sewing machines under patents held by Singer, Wheeler & Wilcox, Grover & Baker, and John Bachelder, and the return forms detail all machines returned at the expiration of the license.
