W.
Hillman.
Hillman's
machine received its UK patent on October 5th, 1875. The design
brought together many successful elements from other engineers.
Taylor's elliptical shuttle motion and rocking arm combination
were employed, these being linked to a very competent gear drive
arrangement.
By the time the concept went into production, machines of this
genre were passing their heyday, so commercial success was sadly
limited.
