The parties of the tirst part reserve to themsclves the right to manufacture machines under said patent, and to have the use of the same, without paying royalty thereon, but not to dispose of any machine, or macliiues, to any other party, without the consent of the party of the second part, in writing." �After this assignment was made, Forehand & Wadsworth sold out all their machinery, tools, and fixtures to the defend- ��� �
