COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Compounds for the Manufacture of Bricks, Tiles, and
Pottery Goods in General, also in Compounds or Combination of
Ingredients for the Manufacture of White Enamel or Opaque
Colours as a Surfacing Body or Glaze to said Bricks or Articles.
I, EUGENE BUSSY, of 6 Amberley Villas, Russell Road, Bowes Park, Middlesex,
Modeller in Clay, 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 first to combination of ingredients in suitable proportions
for the manufacture of Bricks, Tiles, Architectural Örnaments, such as Pillars, Caps,
Friezes, Bas-reliefs and for Pottery Goods in general, in which;
1. Common Clay can be employed, two qualities of articles being produced
therefrom.
2. Calcareous Clays can be employed.
The second part of the invention relates to the preparation and combination of
ingredients;
•
1. For constituting a White Enamel.
2. Opaque colours specially adaptable for covering, surfacing, or facing Bricks,
or articles made under the first part of this invention.

page_text: The following are about the proportions of the several ingredients I use for making
Bricks, Tiles, Architectural Ornaments and Pottery Goods in general:-
These components vary according to the nature of the Clay but the balance is
always obtained by Carbonate of Lime and Sand.
Each Composition is carefully and intimately mixed by "washing" and Pugging
in a Mill and the Clay should previously be well mellowed, so as to leave no room
for imperfect mixing.
Enamels to be used in harmony with the aforesaid Body having Common Clay as
Oxide of Tin
(No. 1 ENAMEL.)
By Weight
Flint or "Lynn" Sand
Carbonate of Soda

page_text: ADVANTAGES.
These Bricks, Tiles, etc. made of ordinary Common Clay properly compounded, so 2
as to keep perfect equilibrium with the Enamel, prevents crazing.
No Fire Clay enters in their Composition.
There is more grip for Mortar or Cement to get hold of than with ordinary
glazed Bricks.
They are lighter in weight.
The body and Enamel being in perfect harmony; they resist the most sudden
changes of temperature without being affected, or leaving such marks as crazing
or peeling from exposure.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I a
claim is :-
1. Treating Common Clay with the ingredients named for the manufacture of
Bricks, Tiles, and Pottery Goods (Architectural or other) for the reception of Enamel
on the surface or surfaces, as hereinbefore described.
2. The manufacture of Bricks, Tiles, and other articles from plastic Compounds a
in which Common Clay is the base, as set forth, whereby such articles are capable
of receiving an Enamel composed of ingredients prepared substantially in the manner
described.
3. The preparation or manufacture of Enamels from the ingredients mentioned in
the manner set forth for coating or surfacing Bricks, Tiles, Architectural, and other
like goods made from a plastic body in which Common Clay is the base.
