“ The Cooke engine, patented in England in 1880, is a machine of the type known as 'disk grinders,' and is not a beating engine of the type of the machines involved in this suit. It has no beater roll, the grinding being done by two disks at the end of the tub, between which the pulp is drawn in at the center of the disks, and works it way outward to the periphery between the grinding surfaces. ”

“ The actual intent to evade is the more manifest from the fact that Horne, under a contract with the plaintiff, made 17 machines according to the plaintiff's patent, but, owing to some disagreement as to the quality of the work done by him, the contract was terminated, and Horne began the production of his own engines, and subsequently took out a patent for his invention. ”
