PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Cattle Food Cakes.
I, FREDERIC STACEY of "Coombe Bank," Slad Road, Stroud, Gloucestershire,
Corn Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
In the manufacture of cattle food cakes galvanized iron plates are used for
stamping the name and trade mark of the maker thereon. Such plates are not
satisfactory as in time the polish on them wears off thus causing the cake to adhere
to the plates and rendering the name and trade mark indistinct.
My invention relates to improvements in plates for the above mentioned
purpose. I take a thin sheet of zinc or tin and solder it on to a galvanized iron
plate, pressing them together in the cake-box so that the moulded name and trade
mark on the galvanized iron plate is stamped through the thin sheet of zinc or tin
placed above it. Cakes pressed with plates prepared in the aforesaid manner are
turned out with the name and trade mark clearly impressed thereon and a more
glossy and attractive appearance is imparted to the cakes than is the case with
those prepared according to the present method.
Dated this 25th day of January 1897.

1, FREDERIC STACEY of "Coombe Bank," Slad Road, Stroud, Gloucestershire,
Corn Merchant, 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 :-
In the manufacture of cattle food cakes, galvanized iron plates are generally
used for stamping the name and trade mark of the maker thereon. Such plates
are not satisfactory as eventually the polish on them wears off thus causing the
cake to adhere to the plates, and to look dull and of a mealy nature, and also
rendering the name and trade mark indistinct.
My invention relates to improvements in plates for the above mentioned
purpose.
In order to carry out this invention I provide a thin sheet of zinc, tin or other
convenient metal, placing it on the said galvanized iron plate, and press both
together in the cake box so that the moulded name and trade mark on the
galvanized iron plate is stamped through the thin sheet of zinc or tin placed on its
surface on one or both sides of said galvanized iron plate. I then solder the said
thin plate on to the said galvanized iron plate.
Cakes pressed with plates prepared in the aforesaid manner are turned out with

page_text: the name, trade mark or other impressions clearly impressed thereon, and a more
glossy and attractive appearance is imparted to the cakes than is the case with
those prepared according to the present method.
In order that my invention may be readily understood I will describe the same
with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a side elevation of a galvanized plate, Fig. 2 is a section
of said plate, with the thin sheets of zinc or other metal shown by thick lines on
either side of galvanized plate, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of said galvanized
plate, with one of the bottom corners of the said thin sheets of zinc or other
metal herein before described, shown unsoldered and turned back to illustrate its
position on the galvanized plate.
In these several views A is the galvanized iron plate with corrugations, name,
trade mark, or other moulded letters or characters on its surface, as shown at B.
C is the thin sheet of zinc, tiu or other convenient metal, fixed on one or both
sides of the said galvanized iron plate by means of soldering the edges of the
said thin sheet to the surface of the galvanized plate at D D.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
1. The provision of a thin sheet of zinc, tin or other convenient metal, to one
or both sides of metal plates used for stamping and preparing cattle food cakes,
and fixing the same to said metal plates, substantially as and for the purpose
berein set forth, and described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
2. The application of this invention to any form or size or kind of plate used
for the stamping and preparation of cattle food cakes, or other similar appliances,
substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth, and described and illustrated
by the accompanying drawings.
