Patent for a new and improved method of baling cotton. This design "is to gin, condense, and bale the cotton in one continuous operation and to so effectually reduce the size of the resulting bale of cotton in this first, original, initial process as to make it of suitable dimensions and density for market or transportation by rail or sea to final destination" (lines 13-19). It consists "in compressing the same in the form of a continuous sheet, lapping said sheet before it has time to expand in the form of a bale, and subsequently applying pressure to expel the air from between the layers" (lines 29-33).
