Sealed the 10th August 1863, in pursuance of an Order of the Lord Chancellor,
and dated the 28th March 1862
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Benjamin William Goode
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
28th March 1863.
I, BENJAMIN WILLIAM GOODE, of St. Paul's Square, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "A NEW JOURNAL AXLE OR BEARING PARTICULARLY APPLICABLE TO
ROLLS," to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object the making of rolls and other revolving
bodies perfectly true in their action, and at the same time allowing them to bo
removed or changed without taking their frames to pieces. For this purpose
to any axle journal or bearing I affix a collar or collars having a shoulder or
shoulders attached; these being firmly fixed to the revolving machinery revolve
with it, but are yet removeable at will, and the machinery is kept perfectly true
in its action.

and of an Order of the Lord Chancellor, by the said Benjamin William
Goode in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 7th October 1863.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, BENJAMIN
WILLIAM GOODE, of St. Paul's Square, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick,
Manufacturer, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Twenty-eighth day of March, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, in the twenty-sixth year of
Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto
me, the said Benjamin William Goode, Her special licence, that I, the said
Benjamin William Goode, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such
others as I, the said Benjamin William Goode, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time
and at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should and
lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Inven-
tion for "A NEW JOURNAL AXLE OR BEARING PARTICULARLY APPLICABLE TO
ROLLS," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said Benjamin
William Goode, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in
writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should par-
ticularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in
what manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be
filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and
immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Benjamin William Goode, do hereby
declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement and accompanying Drawings, that is to say :-
This Invention relates to what is tecnically called a new journal axle or
bearing, and has for its advantages more particularly that by its use rolls,
plain or with patterns cut or embossed upon them, may be changed with great
facility without being obliged to take out the screws and brasses as in the
present usual arrangement, in which the rolls are solid or fixed on solid
mandrils, and not, as in my Patent, placed upon axles or mandrils revolving
with the rolls, though I do not claim as an Invention the putting the rolls
upon mandrils, solid or otherwise, but a more precise and effectual mode of

page_text: fixing them, so that when once fixed they shall revolve perfectly true and
correctly.
My Invention will, however, be fully understood by reference to the accom-
panying Sheet of Drawings, in which Figure I. represents the side elevation of
my improved journal axle or bearing, A being the mandril upon which it is
fixed by the plinth D, and B the nut by which the whole is firmly fastened.
Fig. II. is a front elevation of the same; Fig. III., a section; Fig. IV., a side
elevation of the solid mandril; and Fig. V., a section of the same.
Fig. VI. shows the patent journal axle or bearing in its application to rolls.
A being the solid mandril; B, B, the nuts by which the whole is firmly
fixed together; C, C, washers; D, the plinth fixed in the solid mandril;
E, E, the patent journal axle or bearings; F, the roll, plain or embossed, and
G, the pinion by which the same is driven. It will be seen that my patent
journal axle or bearing is a hollow circular piece of iron, steel, brass, or other
metal, though I prefer that it should be made of gun metal; this is turned
true, and has on one side a flange projecting at right angles from its centre. The
said journal axle or bearing slides on and is attached to the solid mandril by
means of the plinth correctly fixed in the mandril, and the whole is fastened
completely by the nut and screw at either end of the solid mandril.
Fig. VII. is the side elevation of the rolls and frame. A, the solid mandril ;
B, the nut; and C, the washer. Fig. VIII. is a front elevation, the same
letters being used throughout. Fig. IX. shows the application of the patent
journal axle or bearing to calico printing rolls, the same letters being used
throughout.
It will be seen by examination of these Drawings that when once properly
set, the rolls, pattern or otherwise, must revolve perfectly true and correctly,
being kept in their places by means of the check or flange of my journal axle
or bearing, and that fresh pattern rolls may be inserted by simply unscrewing
the nut B, withdrawing the solid mandril A only so far that the rolls, pattern
or otherwise, may be slipped off and others inserted, when by pushing the
mandril again into its place, and fastening the same by means of the nut and
screw at its end, the whole may in a few minutes be again at work.
This Invention is also applicable to all sorts of rolls, rollers, or other
machinery where exact action is necessary, and more particularly to that class
of machinery which by its nature and uses is liable to require frequent
changing, and where one or more rolls are required to work on the same
mandril, as rolls for printing or impressing textile fabrics, paper, leather, or
other material, as also metals of every description with their allays, and
likewise rotatory agricultural implements.

page_text: Having now described the nature and particulars of my Invention, and the
manner in which the same is to be performed, I desire to be understood that I
claim as my Invention, the construction and application of a new and improved
journal axle or bearing particularly applicable to rolls, as described and illus-
trated by the accompanying Drawings and this Specification.
