Excerpt from Weir's Balance and Proof Measure System, for Cutting Coats: Calculated to Fit All Variety of Shapes, With Unerring Certainty

The trade has, notwithstanding, gained great benefit from certain systems, and they are worthy of preser vation. Should every other revolution in the art be productive of as much good, we may hepe to see the tme, when the employment of bushelmen will be confined to repairing.
