PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Damping the Stones, or the
Substitutes therefor, Used in Lithographic Printing Machines.
We EDWARD TUDOR, Junior, of the Reddish Iron Works, Reddish, in the
County of Lancaster, Cashier, HARRY GRIMSHAW, of Clayton, near Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Chemical Manufacturer, and GEORGE DANIELS of
the Reddish Iron Works, Reddish, in the County of Lancaster, Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to apparatus for damping the stones or the substitutes
therefor used in lithographic printing machines and consists in improvements, the
object of which is to simplify the driving and working parts of the apparatus used
for evenly and efficiently damping the stones or the substitutes therefor used in
lithographic printing machines. This invention is applicable to any lithographic
printing machine in which the stone or the zinc plate or other substitute for a
stone employed therein receives a reciprocating motion.
In the following description of this invention we shall for convenience use the
word " stone as meaning a lithographic stone, or any substitute therefor.
"
According to one form of this invention we provide a lithographic printing
machine with a water-feed-roller mounted in a trough for water placed in any
convenient position in the machine, and cause the said water-feed-roller to receive
motion from a toothed quadrant or sector which gears into or engages with a
toothed wheel secured on the water-feed-roller or the axle thereof or is arranged
to communicate motion thereto by means of any suitable arrangement of gearing.
We cause the said quadrant or sector to receive motion by means of a connecting
rod receiving motion from a cam acting thereon by means of a bowl and lever or
other suitable means which may be specially provided to move the said connecting
rod or may also be employed to operate other parts of the machine, the said cam
or other suitable means causing the said quadrant or sector and also the feed-roller
to turn first in one direction and then in the other. On the water-feed-roller or
the axle thereof and preferably on the end thereof opposite to that by which such
water-feed-roller receives motion from the said quadrant or sector we mount a cam
which as the water-feed-roller is caused to turn or oscillate raises and lowers a duct-
roller which being raised receives water from the said water-feed-roller and being
lowered transfers the water which it has previously received to a damping-
distributing roller which is mounted in suitable brackets or bearings provided to
receive it and a damping-board such as is usually employed in a lithographic
printing machine provided with a reciprocating stone is brought into contact with
the said damping-distributing roller at suitable times in the working of the machine
and transfers water from such damping-distributing-roller to the roller or rollers
which damps or damp the stone employed in the machine, a suitable roller or
suitable rollers being employed to equalize or render uniform the distribution of the
water upon the said damping-board and the stone. When the duct-roller is lifted
into contact with the water-feed-roller it revolves with it, and the said duct-roller
being lowered into contact with the damping-distributing roller when the damping-
board is brought into contact with such damping-distributing roller such duct-roller
is also revolved or turned by the turning or revolution of the said damping-
distributing-roller caused by the movement of the said damping-board in contact

page_text: with such damping-distributing-roller. In order to prevent the duct-roller from
always coming into contact with the same part of the water-feed-roller we arrange
that the wheel or wheels by means of which such water-feed-roller and the cam by
means of which motion is communicated from the said water-feed-roller to the duct-
roller may be adjustable in position so that the person attending upon the machine
may be able to easily change the part of the water-feed-roller with which the duct-
roller is brought into contact.
According to another form of this invention we cause the toothed quadrant or
sector which we employ to transmit motion to the water-feed-roller to impart motion
either directly or by means of any suitable gearing to a toothed wheel mounted
loose upon the axle of the water-feed-roller and mount upon the water-feed-roller
or the axle thereof or so that it can transmit motion thereto, a ratchet wheel or
other equivalent device and provide the said toothed wheel with a pawl or other
equivalent part so that as the said quadrant or sector is caused to oscillate and turn
the said toothed wheel first in one direction and then in the opposite direction the
said water-feed-roller will be caused to receive an intermittent motion in one
direction only, and so that by the said pawl or other equivalent part being put out
of action the said water-feed-roller may be stopped entirely. In this case the
cam for raising and lowering the duct-roller is preferably secured to the toothed
wheel aforesaid.
According to another form of this invention which we may employ when a flyer
is employed in delivering from the machine the sheets printed upon in the
lithographic printing machine to which this invention may be applied, we fix or
mount upon the boss or axle of the flyer or upon the boss of the pinion ordinarily
mounted thereon to receive motion from the usual quadrant or sector employed
therewith a toothed quadrant or sector which will impart motion to a toothed
wheel upon or arranged to transmit motion by means of suitable gearing to the
water-feed roller and cause such water-feed-roller to turn either alternately in both
directions or by an intermittent motion in one direction only according as the said
toothed wheel is mounted fast upon the said water-feed-roller or caused to impart
motion by means of a pawl or other equivalent part to a ratchet wheel or other
equivalent device mounted upon or arranged to impart motion to the said water-
feed-roller or according to the arrangement of the gearing by means of which such
toothed wheel is arranged to transmit motion to the said water-feed-roller.
modifications of this form of this invention we may mount the quadrant or sector
which we employ to impart motion to the water-feed-roller upon the quadrant or
sector for working the flyer or we may mount the quadrant or sector which
we employ to impart motion to the water-feed-roller upon the same shaft as the
quadrant or sector for working the flyer or upon another shaft receiving
motion from the shaft upon which is mounted the quadrant or sector for
working the flyer or in any other suitable manner.
In
The cam which is mounted upon the water-feed-roller which we employ or upon
the axle thereof in order to cause or permit the duct-roller to move into and out of
contact with the water-feed-roller and into and out of contact with the damping-
distributing roller is shaped in accordance with the manner in which the water-feed-
roller is moved and in cases in which it may be desirable the said duct-roller may
be moved by any other suitable means. In order that the said duct-roller may be
more easily moved we provide in cases in which it may be considered desirable to
do so a balance-weight or balance-weights mounted upon any suitable part or parts
connected with the said duct-roller.

page_text: Improvements in Apparatus for Damping the Stones, or the
Substitutes therefor, Used in Lithographic Printing Machines.
We, EDWARD TUDOR, Junior, of the Reddish Iron Works, Reddish, in the
County of Lancaster, Cashier, HARRY GRIMSHAW, of Clayton, near Manchester
in the County of Lancaster, Chemical Manufacturer and GEORGE DANIELS, of
the Reddish Iron Works, Reddish, in the County of Lancaster, Engineer, 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 apparatus for damping the stones or the substitutes
therefor used in lithographic printing machines, and consists in improvements, the
object of which is to simplify the driving and working parts of the apparatus used
for evenly and efficiently damping the stones or the substitutes therefor used in
lithographic printing machines. This invention is applicable to any lithographic
printing machine, in which the stone or the zinc plate or other substitute for a
stone employed therein receives a reciprocating motion.
In the following description of this invention, we shall for convenience use the
word " stone as meaning a lithographic stone or any substitute therefor.
"
According to one form of this invention, we provide a lithographic printing
machine with a water-feed-roller mounted in a trough for water placed in any
convenient position in the machine, and cause the said water-feed-roller to receive
motion from a toothed quadrant or sector which gears into or engages with a
toothed wheel secured on the water-feed-roller or the axle thereof or is arranged to
communicate motion thereto by means of any suitable arrangement of gearing.
We cause the said quadrant or sector to receive motion by means of a connecting
rod receiving motion from a cam acting thereon by means of a bowl and lever or
other suitable means which may be specially provided to move the said connecting
rod or may also be employed to operate other parts of the machine, the said cam
or other suitable means causing the said quadrant or sector and also the feed-roller
to turn first in one direction and then in the other. On the water-feed-roller or the
axle thereof we mount a cam which as the water-feed-roller is caused to turn or
oscillate raises and lowers a duct-roller which being raised receives water from the
said water-feed-roller and being lowered transfers the water which it has previously
received to a damping-distributing roller which is mounted in suitable brackets or
bearings provided to receive it and a damping-board such as is usually employed
in a lithographic printing machine provided with a reciprocating stone, is brought
into contact with the said damping-distributing roller at suitable times in the
working of the machine and transfers water from such damping distributing-roller
to the roller or rollers which damps or damp the stone employed in the machine, a
suitable roller or suitable rollers being employed to equalize or render uniform the
distribution of the water upon the said damping-board and the stone. When the
duct-roller is lifted into contact with the water-feed-roller it revolves with it and
the said duct-roller being lowered into contact with the damping-distributing-roller
when the damping-board is brought into contact with such damping-distributing-
roller, such duct-roller is also revolved or turned by the turning or revolution of
the said damping-distributing-roller caused by the movement of the said damping-
board in contact with such damping-distributing-roller. In order to prevent the
duct-roller from always coming into contact with the same part of the water-feed-
roller we arrange that the wheel or wheels by means of which such water-feed-roller
and the cam by means of which motion is communicated from the said water-feed-
roller to the duct-roller may be adjustable in position so that the person attending

page_text: upon the machine may be able to easily change the part of the water-feed-roller
with which the duct-roller is brought into contact.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of so much of a lithographic printing machine as is
requisite for the illustration of the method of carrying the above described form of
this invention into effect and
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of some of the parts illustrated in Fig. 1 and some of
the other parts employed therewith.
The same letters of reference are employed to indicate corresponding parts in
both of the said figures.
In the apparatus illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, (a) is the water-feed-roller, (b) is
the trough in which the water to be employed is contained, (c) is the toothed
quadrant or sector from which the water-feed-roller (a) receives motion, (a') is a
toothed wheel secured on the axle of the water-feed-roller (a), (d) is the connecting
rod by means of which the quadrant or sector (c) receives motion, (e) is the cam
upon the axle of the water-feed-roller (a), (f) is the duct-roller, (g) is the
damping-distributing-roller which is omitted from Fig. 2 in order that confusion
may be avoided, (h) is the damping-board which is also omitted from Fig. 2 in
order that confusion may be avoided, and (i) (i) are the rollers employed to
equalize or render uniform the distribution of the water upon the damping-
board (h).
The water-trough (b) mounted in any convenient position in the lithographic
printing machine, and the axle of the water-feed-roller (a) which dips into the
water contained in such water-trough (6) is supported in bearings formed in
brackets (1) secured to the side-frames (1) of the machine, and provided with
projections to which are bolted projections formed upon the ends of the water-
trough (b).
The toothed wheel (a) upon the axle of the water-feed-roller (a) is caused to
gear into or engage with the toothed quadrant or sector (c).
The toothed quadrant or sector (c) is mounted upon a shaft (e) capable of being
oscillated in a bearing formed in one of the side-frames (j) of the machine and
receives motion from the connecting rod (d) by means of an arm (c2) mounted fast
upon the shaft (c) and a stud (d) which is secured in the connecting rod (d) and
capable of being adjusted and secured by means of nuts and lock-nuts in position
upon such connecting rod (d) and passes through and is secured by means of a
collar in a hole formed in the arm (c2). The connecting rod (d) receives motion
from a cam acting thereon by means of a bowl and lever or other suitable means
which may be specially provided to move the said connecting rod (d) or may also
be employed to operate other parts of the machine. The connecting rod (d) being
caused to move to and fro by the said cam or other means, causes the quadrant or
sector (c) to turn first in one direction and then in the other and so causes the
water-feed-roller (a) to turn first in one direction and then in the other.
The ends of the axle of the duct-roller (f) are mounted in bearings formed in
arms () mounted fast upon a shaft (2) capable of being oscillated in bearings
formed in the brackets (¹). Upon the shaft (2) is mounted a bell-crank-
lever (3). In one arm of the bell-crank-lever (3) is mounted a stud carrying a
bowl (4) to act in conjunction with the cam (e) mounted upon the axle of the
water-feed-roller (a). On the other arm of the bell-crank-lever (f3) is mounted a
weight (5) which serves to partially counterbalance the weight of the roller (f).
The cam (e) mounted upon the axle of the water-feed-roller is made capable of
being turned into different positions thereon, but while in use is secured in position
by means of a stud (e) screwed into one or other of two holes formed in a boss or
collar (e 2) secured upon the said axle. The cam (e) is arranged to be secured in
either of two positions upon the said axle in order that whenever it may be
desirable the part of the water-feed-roller (a) with which the duct-roller (7) is 5
brought into contact may be changed, and the said cam (e) is so shaped that as the
water-feed-roller (a) is turned in one direction and in the opposite direction

page_text: alternately the duct-roller (ƒ) is brought into contact with the water-feed-roller (a)
and into contact with the damping-distributing-roller (g) alternately so as to
transfer water from the water-feed-roller (a) to the damping-distributing-
roller (g).
The ends of the axles of the damping-distributing-roller (g) and the ends of the
axles of the rollers (i) (i) are mounted and capable of being revolved in slots or
notches formed in the brackets (j¹).
The damping-board (h) is mounted like those heretofore employed in lithographic
printing machines with reciprocating stones on the carriage which carries the
stone (A) and in such position thereon that while the stone (A) is moved for a
print to be taken and back again to its original position, the damping-board (h)
will be brought from beneath the damping-distributing-roller (9) and brought
beneath the rollers employed to damp the stone (A) and again brought beneath the
damping-distributing-roller (9). When the damping-board (h) is brought into
contact with the rollers (i) (i) such rollers (i) (i) distribute the water on such
damping-board (h).
The cam or other means employed to impart motion to the connecting rod (d)
must obviously be adapted to move the quadrant (c) to the extent necessary and at
the proper time in relation to the movement imparted to the damping-board (h).
In a modification of the arrangement illustrated in Figs. 1, and 2 the cam (e)
may be formed upon the wheel (a¹) in a manner similar to that in which the
cam (e) illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4 to be hereinafter described is formed upon the
wheel (a) illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4 and in such case the balance-weight (5) if
employed may be mounted upon an arm or bell-crank-lever mounted in any suitable
position upon the axle (ƒ2).
According to another form of this invention we cause the toothed quadrant or
sector which we employ to transmit motion to the water-feed-roller to impart
motion either directly or by means of any suitable gearing to a toothed wheel
mounted loose upon the axle of the water-feed-roller and mount fast upon the
water-feed-roller or the axle thereof or so that it can transmit motion thereto a
ratchet wheel or other equivalent device and provide the said toothed wheel with a
pawl or other equivalent part so that as the said quadrant or sector is caused to
oscillate and turn the said toothed wheel first in one direction and then in the
opposite direction the said water-feed-roller will be caused to receive
intermittent motion in one direction only, and so that by the said pawl or other
equivalent part being put out of action the said water-feed-roller may be stopped
entirely. In this case the cam for raising and lowering the duct-roller is preferably
secured to the toothed wheel aforesaid.
an
This form of this invention is illustrated by Figs. 3 and 4 of the accompanying
drawings, in which the same letters of reference are employed to indicate
corresponding parts in both figures and the reference letters corresponding to those
employed in Fige. 1 and 2 indicate parts corresponding to similar parts in
Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of so much of the apparatus employed
as is requisite to illustrate the differences between this form of the said invention
and the form thereof which is illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying
drawings and Fig. 4 is a front elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 3. lu
Figs. 3 and 4 (a') is the toothed wheel which we mount loose upon the axle of the
water-feed-roller (a), (k) is the ratchet wheel which we mount fast upon the axle
of such water-feed-roller (a) and (m) is the pawl capable of being oscillated upon
a stud (m²) secured in the toothed wheel (a) and of being brought into engagement
with the ratchet wheel (k). The pawl (m) is provided with a handle by means of
which it may be readily disengaged from the ratchet wheel (k) and upon the part of
such pawl (m) which surrounds the stud (m²) is formed a hollow into which
projects the head of a plunger (n) formed with a head and stem and mounted and
capable of being slidden longitudinally in a socket formed in a projecting part
provided upon the side of the toothed wheel (a'). In the said socket which is
formed in one part of a larger diameter to receive the head of the plunger (n) and

page_text: in another of a smaller diameter to receive the stem of such plunger, is placed a
spiral spring which bears at one end against the internal collar forming the bottom
of the larger part of such socket and at the other end against the collar formed by
the bottom of the head of the plunger (n) and tends to press the plunger (n) out
of the said socket and so causes such plunger (n) to bear against the hollow formel
in the pawl (m) and so tends to keep such pawl (m) in engagement with the ratchet
wheel (k).
Upon the toothed wheel (a) is formed a cam (e) which like the
cam (e) hereinbefore described in reference to Figs. 1 and 2 serves to raise and
lower the duct-roller employed by means of an arm (f3) mounted in a position
in which it may be moved by means of such cam. By the pawl (m) being
disengaged from the ratchet wheel (k) so that the head of the plunger (n) is
entirely removed from the hollow in the pawl (m) the water-feed-roller (a) may be
caused to remain stationary whenever it may be considered desirable. In other
respects than those already explained the arrangements employed in conjunction
with the apparatus illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4 are similar to the corresponding
arrangements illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 and therefore do not need further
.description.
According to another form of this invention which we may employ when
a flyer is employed in delivering from the machine the sheets printed
upon in the lithographic printing machine to which this invention may be
applied we fix or mount upon the boss or axle which carries the flyer-sticks or
upon the boss of the pinion ordinarily mounted thereon to receive motion from the
usual quadrant or sector employed therewith a toothed quadrant or sector which
will impart motion to a toothed wheel upon or arranged to transmit motion by
means of suitable gearing to the water-feed-roller and cause such water-feed-roller
to turn either alternately in both directions or by an intermittent motion in one
direction only according as the said toothed wheel is mounted fast upon the said
water-feed-roller or caused to impart motion by means of a pawl or other equivalent
part to a ratchet wheel or other equivalent device mounted upon or arranged to
impart motion to the said water-feed-roller or according to the arrangement of the
gearing by means of which such toothed wheel is arranged to transmit motion to the
said water-feed-roller. In modifications of this form of this invention we may mount
the quadrant or sector which we employ to impart motion to the water-feed-roller
upon the quadrant or sector for working the flyer-sticks or we may mount the
quadrant or sector which we employ to impart motion to the water-feed-roller upon
the same shaft as the quadrant or sector for working the flyer-sticks or upon
another shaft receiving motion from the shaft upon which is mounted the quadrant
or sector for working the flyer-sticks or in any other suitable manner.
In Figs. 5 and 6 of the accompanying drawings Fig. 5 is a side elevation of so
much of a lithographic printing machine as is requisite for the illustration of one
modification of this form of the said invention, and the manner of carrying it into
effect, and Fig. 6 is a front elevation of some of the parts illustrated in Fig. 5 and
some of the other parts employed therewith. In Figs. 5 and 6 the same letters of
reference are employed to indicate corresponding parts in both figures and the
reference letters corresponding to those in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 indicate parts
corresponding to similar parts in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4.
In Figs. 5 and 6 (o) is the axle upon which are formed the bosses on which the
flyer-sticks are mounted. The axle (o) is capable of being oscillated at each end
in a bearing formed in a bracket (o') secured upon a bracket (j³) secured upon one
of the side-frames (j) of the machine. In Figs. 5 and 6, only a part of one side-
frame (), one bracket (5) and one bracket (o¹) are shown. At one end of the
axle (o) is mounted a pinion (02) into which gears or engages the usual quadrant
or sector (o 3) employed to impart motion to the flyer-sticks. The quadrant or
sector (03) receives motion by means of a connecting rod in the usual manner.
(c) is the toothed quadrant or sector mounted fast upon the axle (o) which carries
the flyer-sticks and serving to impart motion to a toothed wheel (a) similar to the
toothed wheel (a¹) illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4 hereinbefore described, mounted so

page_text: as to be capable of being oscillated upon the axle of a water-feed-roller (a) which
being similar and mounted and operating similarly to that illustrated in. Figs. 1, 2, 3,
and 4 and in conjunction with a duct-roller and attendant mechanism similar to
those illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 does not need any further description.
It is obvious from Figs. 1 and 2 and Figs. 5 and 6 of the accompanying
drawings, that in any case in which it may be considered desirable to employ in a
lithographic printing machine provided with a flyer, a water-feed-roller caused to.
turn first in one direction and then in the opposite direction like that herein before
described in reference to Figs. 1 and 2, an arrangement of toothed wheel (a¹) and
cam (e) similar to either of those hereinbefore described in reference to Figs. 1
and 2 may be readily employed.
The cam which is mounted upon the water-feed-roller which we employ or upon.
the axle thereof or upon the toothed-wheel mounted fast or loose upon the axle of
the said water-feed-roller as the case may be in order to cause or permit the duct-
roller to move into and out of contact with the water-feed-roller and into and out of
contact with the damping-distributing roller is shaped in accordance with the
manner in which the water-feed-roller is moved and in cases in which it may be
desirable the said duct-roller may be moved by any other suitable means. The
forms of the cams (e) employed in the several arrangements illustrated in the-
accompanying drawings are clearly illustrated in the figures in which such cams.
respectively appear.
In order that the said duct-roller may be more easily moved we provide in cases
in which it may be considered desirable to do so a balance-weight or balance-
weights mounted upon any suitable part or parts connected with the said duct-
roller. A balance weight (5) is shown as being provided in the arrangement
illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings.
The toothed wheel (a) illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6 of the accompanying
drawings, only requiring to be turned backwards and forwards through a portion of
a revolution is made in the form of a sector or imperfect wheel.
In the accompanying drawings the teeth of the toothed quadrants or sectors and
toothed wheels illustrated are, for convenience, only indicated by dotted lines
indicating the pitch lines of such toothed quadrants or sectors and toothed wheels.
We prefer to place the quadrant or sector and toothed wheel employed in
accordance with our invention and the cam employed in conjunction therewith at
one side of the lithographic printing machine to which our invention may be
applied and thus arrange that at the other side of the machine there may be
fewer parts liable to incommode the attendant or attendants in charge of such
machine.
The water-feed-rollers which we employ are covered with any suitable absorbent
covering such as is ordinarily employed on the water-feed-rollers heretofore
employed in lithographic printing machines.
We prefer to employ the arrangements illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4 and Figs. 5.
and 6 of the accompanying drawings, for the reason that when in cases in which
the movement of the water-feed-roller is caused to he always in the same direction
the covering upon the water-feed-roller does not tend to become worn more at one
part than at another.
The hereinbefore described arrangements imparting motion to apparatus for
damping the stones or substitutes therefor used in lithographic printing machines
are simple and efficient and capable of being readily applied to machines already
existing, and obviate the use of chain-gearing or longitudinal shafts and bevel
wheels or other gearing which has hitherto been employed although inconvenient
and a source of danger to the attendants in charge of the machines.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. For use in imparting motion to the water-feed-roller and duct-roller employed

page_text: in an apparatus for damping the stone or the zinc plate or other substitute for a
stone employed in a lithographic printing machine, in which the stone or the zinc
plate or other substitute for a stone employed receives a reciprocating motion,
a quadrant or sector arranged, employed and operating for the purposes and
substantially as herein before described.
2. For use in imparting motion to the water-feed-roller and duct-roller employed
in an apparatus for damping the stone or the zinc plate or other substitute for a
stone employed in a lithographic printing machine, in which the stone or the zinc
plate or other substitute for a stone employed receives a reciprocating motion,
a quadrant or sector arranged to impart motion to such water-feed-roller by means
of a toothed wheel and pawl and ratchet wheel and turn the water-feed-roller in
one direction only, and employed and operating for the purposes and substantially
as hereinbefore described.
3. For use in imparting motion to the water-feed-roller and duct-roller employed
in an apparatus for damping the stone or the zinc plate or other substitute for a
stone employed in a lithographic printing machine in which the stone or the zinc
plate or other substitute for a stone employed receives a reciprocating motion, and
a flyer is employed in delivering the sheets printed upon from the machine, a
quadrant or sector arranged to turn such water-feed-roller in only one direction by
means of suitable gearing and a toothed wheel and pawl and ratchet wheel and
mounted upon the boss or axle which carries the flyer-sticks or upon the boss of
the pinion ordinarily mounted thereon to receive motion from the usual quadrant
or sector employed with the flyer or upon such usual quadrant or sector or upon
the shaft on which such usual quadrant or sector is mounted or another shaft
receiving motion from such shaft or in any other suitable manner, and employed
and operating for the purposes and substantially as hereinbefore described.
Dated this Nineteenth day of September 1896.
