CHARLES MANUEL JORDAN 4 Saunders Row, Kensal Green London Middlesex
Monumental Mason and Engraver of Memorial and other inscriptions do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
산
:
My invention has for its object the construction of letters and figures so as to
stand on any surface of granite, marble, stone or any other hard material, whether
the surface be upright, inclined or turned downwards, with a pliable appliance for
the attachment of such letters and figures, by which they are permanently secured
without the use of cement, or plaster, or the need of inlaying the letters or figure
in the surface or the use of screws.
D'
My invention being the construction of wrought cast, or stamped letters or
figures of any metal or alloy, and at the back of such letters, and figures to
construct pliable metal corkings (fangs) of sufficient length and so pliable as to
turn into holes drilled in any direction prefered by the person applying such letters
and figures.
My invention will enable any person skilled or unskilled to produce a name or
inscription, upon a Memorial, Facia, Door-plate or upon any hard material 'by
drilling holes to receive the corkings (fangs) of such letters or figures as required,
and by pressing same to the surface the said pliable corkings (fangs) will secure
same, going in whatever direction it was prefered to have drilled the holes!
Letters and Figures so constructed, when applied will have the same appearance
as ordinary raised letters and figures.

g
Such letters and figures may be covered with any usual coating of gold, silver
enamel or paint or left bare.

CHARLES MANUEL JORDAN 4 Saunders Row, Kensal Green London Middlesex,
Monumental Mason, and engraver of Memorial and other inscriptions, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described. and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My invention has for its object the construction of Letters and Figures, so as to
stand on any surface of granite, marble, stone, or any other hard material, whether
the surface be upright, inclined, or turned downwards, with a pliable appliance for
the attachment of such letters and figures by which they are permanently secured
without the use of cement or plaster, or the need of inlaying the letters or figures
in the surface, or the use of screws.
My invention being the construction of wrought, cast or, stamped letters or
figures of any metal or alloy, and at the back of such letters and figures to
construct pliable metal corkings (fangs) of sufficient length and so pliable as to turn
into holes drilled.in any direction prefered by the person applying such letters and
figures.
The method by which I shall attach the pliable metal corkings (fangs) to the
back of the letters and figures will be as follows, In the case of cast letters and
figures I shall use a chill-mould; holes will be drilled to receive the pliable metal
corkings (fangs) which will have heads and with the heads up will be placed in the
holes previous to the metal being run, the heads will be by this means enclosed
in the back of the cast letter or figure and so held, or I may cast the letters
and figures in a pliable metal such as lead and cast the corkings (fangs) at the
same time..
And in the case of stamped or wrought letters and figures the pliable metal
corkings (fangs) will be attached by means of soldering or brazing or by tapping
and screwing.
My invention will enable any person skilled or unskilled to produce a name or
inscription upon a Memorial, Facia, Door-plate, or upon any hard material by
drilling holes to receive the corkings (fangs) of such letters and figures as required,
and by pressing same to the surface the said pliable corkings (fangs) will secure,
same going in whatever direction it was prefered to have drilled the holes.
Letters and Figures so constructed when applied will have the same appearance
as ordinary raised letters and figures.
Such letters and figures may be covered with any usual coating of gold, silver,
enamel or paint, or left bare.
The beforegoing being the nature and object of my invention the essential
feature being the construction of any letter or figure with pliable metal corkings
(fangs) by which they are attached to any hard surface as herein described.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is;
First. The constructing of letters and figures (of cast, wrought or stamped metal
or alloy,) with pliable metal corkings (fangs) for their attachment to any hard
surface.
Secondly. Constructing and manufacturing such letters and figures as herein
described.
