page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, SAMPSON
SWAINE, of the Parish of Cambrae, in the County of Cornwall, Smelter and
Refiner, send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Royal Letters Patent, under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date on or
about the Twenty-first day of May, One thousand seven hundred and sixty-two,
did give and grant unto me, the said Sampson Swaine, His especial licence,
full power, sole priviledge and authority, that I, the said Sampson Swaine,
my executors, adiñors, and assigns, should and lawfully might, during the
term therein expressed, make, use, exercise, and vend, throughout that part of
His Majesty's Kingdom of Great Britain called England, His Dominion of
Wales, and Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and also in His Majesty's Planta-
tions abroad, ny invented "NEW METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING AND ADAPTING TO EACH
OTHER A MACHINE, FURNACE AND FIRE ENGINE, SO THAT THE SAME FIRE SHOULD AT
THE SAME TIME BE CAPABLE OF SMELTING AND REFINING SEVERAL SORTS OF METALS,
AND WORKING A FIRE ENGINE TO RAISE WATER AND STAMP ORES, AND SERVE MANY
OTHER USEFUL PURPOSES, IN A MANNER NOT HITHERTO PUT IN PRACTICE;" in which
said recited Letters Patent is contained a proviso oblidging me, the said
Sampson Swaine, by writing under my hand and seal, to cause a description
of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery within four calendar months
from the date of the said recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same
Letters Patent, relation being thereunto had, may more fully and at large
appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Sampson Swaine, do hereby declare that my said new invented machine, furnace
and fire engine are made and performed in manner following, that is to
say:

page_text: The furnace is either simple or divided into two, three, or more parts, so that
tin, copper, or other ores, metals, or menerals, in their several states, may be
smelted and refined at the same time, without mixing, and at the same fire,
or any other operation performed for which a large fire should be wanted.
The boiler of the fire engine surrounds the furnace in such manner that the
water contained therein will have the furnice in the middle of it, and receive
heat from its top, bottom, and part of its sides and ends, and also from the flew
of the chimney. If more heat should be wanting, another furnice may be
placed under the boiler. To the bob of the fire engine will be fixed two racks,
so contrived as to turn an horizontall axis whilst the bob moves up and down,
to which axis a fly may be adapted to regulate its motion; and by means of
this axis a greater or less number of stampers may be worked, the ore may
be drawn up from the mine, hammers may be moved for battering copper, or
any other mechanical operation performed in the same manner as by other
engines or machines that are moved by wind or water.
In witness whereof, I, the said Sampson Swaine, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-fourth day of July, in the second year of the
reign of our Sovereign Lord George the Third, by the Grace of God
of Great Britain, France, and Ireland King, Defender of the Faith, and
so forth, and in the year of our Lord One thousand seven hundred and
sixty-two
Stampt, m the presence of

King and Queen William and Mary of England, and so forth.
