Abstract: 12,645. Newbery, J. W. May 31. Paper, marbling.-Paper unwound from the feed-roll 1 is brought continuously into contact with a colour-film spread upon sizing-solution in an annular trough a, around which a platform carry ing the feed-roll, drying-chambers 56, 16, and the rewinding-roll 22 is driven on circular tracks 40 by means of rack-and-pinion mechanism 10, 9 in gear with the central driving-shaft 6. The colouring-liquid is spread by a rotating brush 42, which takes it from an oppositely rotating roller 47, and, upon bristles of the brush coming in contact with a stretched wire, throws the liquid over the surface of the sizing-solution. Several of these brushes connected to each other and to the platform by links 54 may be mounted above the trough. They are driven in front of the platform and rotated by means of the rack 10, which engages with pinions 45 mounted on the spindles of the brushes. The paper passes from the roll 1 over guide-rollers to the driving-drum 4, and then beneath an adjustable roller 5 mounted on a handlever 11. After the paper has been coloured, the surplus sizing-solution is removed by a scraper 12<1> and by a roller 13, which is rotated by a chain 41 connected to the driving-drum and the guide-drum 15. The surplus solution is caught by a trough beneath the roller 13 and conveyed by a pipe 30 to a central tank 31, from which it is pumped to a reservoir connected by pipes to the annular trough.
