About this book
The Smithsonian's United States National Museum issued this history of the sewing machine in 1968 as Bulletin 254. Its author, Grace Rogers Cooper, was curator of textiles at the Museum of History and Technology. Four chapters cover early efforts, the elements of a successful machine, the patent-sharing arrangement called the Sewing-Machine Combination, and cheaper models. Six appendixes follow: notes on development and commercial use, nineteenth-century American makers, a chronological list of patent models in the Smithsonian collections, a list of leaflets, a short history of cotton thread, and biographical sketches. The preface credits the machine with pioneering installment buying and patent pooling.
