found this on the net,looks like this guy had the first one that actually worked.i was told a long time ago that McCormicks version was virtually unchanged all the way into the 1970's. John Appleby, who from his youth had been interested in machines and whittling models of them. In the mid-1850s, when he was a teenager following a reaper and hand binding grain as a hired hand, John decided that he would invent a mechanism to tie the sheaves. It took some twenty-five years of trying various ideas, with time out to serve in the Civil War, before he patented a twine knotting device in 1875 that was adopted by a number of leading builders, including Deering, McCormick, and Buckeye
