[Communicated from abroad by THE PROPRIETORS OF The CopenhagEN HORSE SHOE
MANUFACTORY, of Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of Denmark.]
An Improved Method of Packing Horse Shoes for Transport.
1, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows --
This invention relates to a method of packing horse shoes. The improved method
has the advantage of bringing into use the short pieces which remain from each rod
after the cutting off of the blanks for the shoes. These remnants are perforated at the
middle and are used in the following manner.
A suitable number of the horse shoes are placed one upon another in a suitable
manner at each end of the pile is placed one of the perforated remnants: an ordinary
bolt is put through the pile and firmly held by the nut. It will be understood that
other material than remnants from the iron rods can be used as end pieces, but the
economical advantages of the method principally depends upon the using of such
remnants.
When the nut is firmly screwed down the packing is not only solid and safo,
but the manufacturer at the same time manages to get the same payment for his
remnants of iron, as for the shoes, these being sold by weight, and the comparatively
expensive packing in casks hitherto used is avoided.

An Improved Method of Packing Horse-shoes for Transport.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex 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 :-
This invention relates to a method of packing horse-shoes.
The improved method herein described has the advantage of bringing into use the
short pieces or remnants which remain from each rod after the cutting-off of the
blanks for the shoes. These remnants are perforated at the middle and are used in
the following manner.
A suitable number of the horse-shoes are placed as shown in the accompanying
drawing, one upon another in a suitable manner; at each end of the pile is placed
one of the perforated remnants a; an ordinary bolt b is put through the pilo and
firmly held by the nut e. It will be understood that other material than remnants
from the iron rods can be used as end pieces, but the economical advantage of the
method principally depends upon the using of such remnants.
When the nut is firmly screwed down the packing is not only solid and safe, but the
manufacturer at the same time gets the same payment for his remnants of iron, as
for the finished shoes, these being sold by weight and the comparatively expensive
packing in casks, hitherto used, is avoided.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign Correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
