MANUFACTURERS 'OF* •
IMPROVED PATENT FELT FO:t SHEATHING
SHIPS' BOTTOMS, 4'c.
FACTORY AT LAMB'S BUILDINGS, BUNHILL-ROW,
Office at No. 31, Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, London.
ri-IHE present Manufacturers, (who have recently purchased
N.. the Patent of this valuable concern,) in re-offering the
IMPROVED PATENT SHEA.THING TELT to the no-
tice of Ship Owners, Ship Builders, Railroad Companies,
Builders, and others, deem it unnecessary to say anything with
regard to the importance of such a material, as its character:and
uses are now so well appreciated, particularly by Ship Builders,
that scarcely any ship proceeds to sea without it; and when it
is stated, that the Improved Patent Felt now offered does not
greatly exceed the expence of tarred brown paper, it may be
confidently expected that it will supersede the use of every ma-
terial for a like purpose now employed for sheathing Ships'
bottoms.
The Patent Sheathitig Felt now submitted is made of a much
stronger and inure fibrous texture than the Felt hitherto in use,
and will bear much greater extension under water in•the work-
ing and straining of a Ship; and, added to its valuab proper-
ties for resisting the worm, its compressed closeness nd tough-
ness of fabric, combined with its evenness and iformity of
surface, entirely remove the objections insepa le from the
Fairy hitherto in use, owing to the thickness inequality, and
*sprYnginess of their material, by which a quil gor puckering
'is produced, very detrimental to the naili and even-wearing
of the copper, to say nothing of the risk the nails drawing,
from the expansion of the old Felts when turated with water.
The felt now offered being entirely free from these serious ob-
jections, and the copper dressing on it. so much better than on
any other, a greater degree of durability and safety. to the cop-
per sheathing itself, may, by its use, be reasonably inferred. It
likewise possesses the advantage of being easily separated after
being packed or laid together for any length of time, which is
an important consideration in shipping it to hot climates.
The price is now reduced to about one-fourth of the cost of
the old hand-made Felt, and to less than half the price of the
Felts now in use. It is manufactured in similar sized sheets to
those (32 inches wide by 20 inches long, and sold at FOUR
PENCE PER SHEET. It is also cut into sheets of double
and treble the above length, but it can likewise be delivered in
a continuous roll of any extent, at the above proportionate cost,
and afterwards cot into any lengths required, by which means
the number of joints in laying it on. can be diminished at dis-
cretion, offering an immense increase of security wherever the
copper may be rubbed off.
A second description of a much thicker quality, adapted for
use under Wood Sheathing, Is also manufactured iu any Lengths
revireil
Nor Baling and Wrapping, the present. Felt is impervious to
wet, and Much cheaper than Tarpaulin. For Roofing, Out-
buildings, Sheds, &c. it excels either Sheathing or Roofing
Paper, being far more durable, and not liable to crack with the
changes of temperature.
