Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““My invention relates to an improved construction of eave adapted more especially for use in horticultural buildings, * * * and my objects are to produce a simple and effective construction and to avoid the use of wood plates and gutters at that part of the structure which, during the winter, allows snow and ice to accumulate in or on them, and thus prevents the per* feet drain from the glass and the obtaining of an even temperature and sufficient light in the building. “I accomplish the above objects by the use of an overhung metal piece which is placed between the side wall and the roof and so arranged that a portion of the metal is within the building so that it is affected by the temperature thereof. The heat of this part is conducted to the other part, which is outside of the building, so that it becomes heated and' thus prevents any formation of icicles and the accumulation of snow. “A further object of my invention is to provide a simple" and effective construction for securing the several parts in a horticultural building at the junction of a rafter and the side wall, to serve as a means to carry the roof between rafters with the least possible obstruction of light, as will be hereinafter more fully described.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““the angle Iron of Snead has one member arranged, not only substantially in the plane of the roof, but exactly in that plane, and the glass rests upon it precisely as in the patent in suit; and the remainder of Snead’s angle iron —that is to say, the other member or plate thereof—is within the interior of the building, and is affected by the temperature therein, and does transmit it to the part which is outside the building, and will prevent the accumulation of ice and snow thereon.””
