Patent for a new and improved Cotton-Press. The invention relates to the press on which a Patent (No. 150,573) was granted May 5, 1874, to William B. Hollowell. It consists of a duplicate master-wheel on the drum for working the follower; also an improved contrivance for connecting the pitman to the lever and to its pivot, whereby the machine is rendered more efficient and may be lighter for a given strength.
