U.S. Patents 1,823,142 & 1,866,707
compiled by Robbie Rhodes

The images in the list following were downloaded from the web site of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO):
  http://www.uspto.gov/main/patents.htm
  http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html
  http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/srchnum.htm

The TIFF images from USPTO are compressed using CCITT Fax Group 4 compression, which is a lossless and powerful method but it is not supported by all image viewers, and so GIF files have also been created.  (A browser plug-in which displays TIFF images can be downloaded from http://www.alternatiff.com/).
