The Age of Invention

CHAPTER II
11/28

I however held the refusal of the school until I tried some experiments.

In about ten Days I made a little model, for which I was offered, if I would give up all right and title to it, a Hundred Guineas.

I concluded to relinquish my school and turn my attention to perfecting the Machine.

I made one before I came away which required the labor of one man to turn it and with which one man will clean ten times as much cotton as he can in any other way before known and also cleanse it much better than in the usual mode.

This machine may be turned by water or with a horse, with the greatest ease, and one man and a horse will do more than fifty men with the old machines.
