Burden Proudfit Margaret

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In 1825 Mr. Burden received his first patent for making wrought nails and spikes, and in 1834 another patent for an improved machine for the purpose was issued to him. In the same year he took a patent for a furnace for heating bar-iron, and another for an improvement in the construction of steam boats. In the following year he obtained his first patent in the manufacture of horseshoes, the fame of which and subsequent improvements upon machinery for this manufacture, patented in 1843, 1857, and 1862, has become world-wide. The improved machines make shoes per hour, and may be regarded as one of the greatest triumphs in mechanics.
