page_text: I, WILLIAM STAINTON, of 26, Liverpool Street, King's Cross, in the Parish of
Saint Pancras, in the county of Middlesex, Hot Water Engineer, seek leave to
amend the specification of Letters Patent No 2901 of 1876, as shewn in red ink
in the copy of the original Specification hereunto annexed and marked with the
letter A.
My reason for making this amendment is as follows:-
The Specification describes and claims more than, having regard to the state of
knowledge at the date of the Patent, I was entitled to claim as my invention.
The description also requires slight corrections to be made in order that the
0 invention may be more clearly explained.
Dated the 23rd September 1884.
In the Matter of the application made by William Stainton for leave to amend
the Specification of Letters Patent N° 2901 of 1876.
In the Matter of the application made by William Stainton for leave to amend
the Specification of Letters Patent N° 2901 of 1876.
I hereby grant leave to the said William Stainton to amend the said Specification
in the manner proposed

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to William Stainton, of 26, Liverpool Street, King's Cross,
in the Parish of Saint Pancras, in the County of Middlesex, Hot Water
Engineer, for the Invention of "AN IMPROVEMENT FOR THE PREVENTION OF
THE FORMATION OF ICE IN HOT WATER APPARATUS DURING FROST WHEN
NOT IN USE, AND FOR INCREASING THE HEATING POWER OF SUCH APPARATUS,
AND IN THE MEANS FOR EFFECTING THE SAME."
Sealed the 12th January 1877, and dated the 15th July 1876.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Stainton at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 15th July 1876.
I, WILLIAM STAINTON, of 26, Liverpool Street, King's Cross, in the Parish of Saint
Pancras, in the County of Middlesex, Hot Water Engineer. "AN IMPROVEMENT
FOR THE PREVENTION OF THE FORMATION OF ICE IN HOT WATER APPARATUS
DURING FROST WHEN NOT IN USE, AND FOR INCREASING THE HEATING POWER
OF SUCH APPARATUS, AND IN THE MEANS FOR EFFECTING THE SAME."
My Invention consists in the use of chloride of lime, (Ca Cl₂), or glycerine in
combination with water in suitable proportions and charging the apparatus with
the same by which means I am enabled to prevent the formation of ice in the said
apparatus at a temperature below zero also to heat the said apparatus to a higher
temperature than 212° F., if requisite without forming steam by use of the said
combination or other similar chemicals or ingredients.

1877.
WILLIAM STAINTON, of 26, Liverpool Street, King's Cross, in the Parish of Saint
Pancras, in the County of Middlesex, Hot Water Engineer. "AN IMPROVEMENT
FOR THE PREVENTION OF THE FORMATION OF ICE IN HOT WATER APPARATUS
DURING FROST WHEN NOT IN USE AND FOR INCREASING THE HEATING POWER
OF SUCH APPARATUS AND IN THE MEANS FOR EFFECTING THE SAME.'
My Invention consists in the use of a solution of chloride of lime (Ca Cl₂) in
water of the specific gravity of 1150 or thereabouts-or of glycerine and water-in
about-equal proportions and for the charging of hot water the apparatus with the
same by which means I am enabled to prevent the formation of ice in or the
freezing up of hot water or-other-kindred apparatus when not in use during frost
even at a temperature below zero and also to beat the said apparatus to a higher
temperature than 212° F., if requisite without forming steam, by-the-use-of the-said
combination-or-other-similar-chemicals-or-ingredients-which-is-also-applicable for
charging-and-making hydraulie-or-other-water-machines-and-engines proof against
frost, thereby preventing The said apparatus is thus prevented from bursting or
cracking by becoming frozen and useless in frosty weather as well-as the thereby
effecting a saving of fuel by rendering it unnecessary to keep the fires going except
when heat is wanted.
Having now set forth the nature of my Invention and explained the manner of
carrying the same into effect I claim as my Invention the use of a solution of
chloride of lime (Ca Cl₂) er-of-glycerine-and in water for charging hot water
apparatus; I do not however strictly confine myself to the proportions specific
gravity herein named but claim the right to use the said solutions in hot water
apparatus either singly or combined or in--combination with other similar
chemicals--or ingredients in any suitable proportions the specific gravity of the
solution varying according to the degree of frost to be prevented by which means
I am enabled to prevent the formation of ice in or the freezing up of hot water
or-other-similar apparatus during frost when not in use and to increase the heating
power of some of the said apparatus as hereinbefore described.
In witness whereof I the said William Stainton have hereunto set my hand
and seal this Fifteenth day of January in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight bundred and seventy-seven.
WILLIAM STAINTON. (L.S.)
