THE MANUFACTURE OF PRINTING ROLLERS OR CYLINDERS."
Sealed the 29th March 1867, and dated the 9th October 1866.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Edward Peyton at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
9th October 1866.
I, EDWARD PEYTON, of Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PRINTING ROLLERS OR CYLINDERS," to be as
follows, that is to say:-
This Invention consists in the production of a cylinder or roller for printing
calico, and for other like purposes, by uniting a thin copper shell or outer
cylinder with an iron or other strong metal tube in the following manner :—
I take the copper shell of any suitable thickness and coat the inside with tin
or solder, or other metal having a like affinity for the copper; I place
¨centrally¨within this shell the-inner tube of iron coated or tinned also.if..
necessary, and pour in between the two molten spelter, or other metal or alloy.

page_text: of metal capable of combining with without destroying the tin or solder
coating, which will when cool form a solid mass with the iron- and the copper
shell; or if an iron lining tube be not requisite I employ in its place a mandril
or core which can be removed so soon as the spelter has cooled, and thus
leaving an aperture for the spindle.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said Edward Peyton in the Great Seal Patent Office on the
8th April 1867.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, EDWARD

NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Edward Peyton, do hereby declare the
nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement (that is to say) :-
This Invention consists in the production of a cylinder or roller for printing

cylinder with an iron or other strong metal tube in the following manner :-I

page_text: take the copper shell of any suitable thickness and coat the inside with tin
or solder or other metal having a like affinity for the copper; I place
centrally within this shell the inner tube of iron, coated or tinned also if neces-
sary, and pour in between the two moften spelter, or other metal or alloy
of metal capable of combining with without destroying the tin or solder
coating, which will when cool form a solid mass with the iron and the copper
shell; or if an iron lining tube be not requisite I employ in its place a mandril
or core which can be removed so soon as the spelter has cooled, and thus
leaving an aperture for the spindle.
Having thus described the nature of my said Invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, I claim as my Invention the improvements in the
manufacture of printing rollers or cylinders in manner herein more fully set
