PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Joseph Moseley at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 22nd December 1876.
JOSEPH MOSELEY, of Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, India-rubber Manu-
facturer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE FOUNDATIONS OF WIRE
CARDS."
My Invention consists in an improved foundation for the wire teeth of cards used
in preparing or carding cotton, wool, and other fibres.
In carrying out my improvement I unite any convenient number of folds or plies
of cotton or linen fabrics by means of a suitable glutinous or adhesive compound or
cement capable of resisting the action of oil or grease which is used in the operation
of carding wool and other fibres.
The uniter may be prepared from mineral, vegetable, or resinous gums, or from
glutinous or gelatinous substances, or by an admixture of mineral, vegetable, or
resinous gums, or glutinous or gelatinous substances, and dessicative or non-dessicative
oleaginous matter or substances in proportion and in such manner as may be
necessary to effect the required flexibility and adhesion.
Another part of my Invention consists in the use and application of fabrics made
of silk or waste silk, or a combination of silk or waste silk with other fibres in the
manufacture of the foundations of wire cards.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed
by the said Joseph Moseley in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 21st June
