CHARLES MOSELEY, of Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, India-rubber
Manufacturer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE FOUNDATIONS OF
WIRE CARDS." A communication from abroad by John Hyde, of Sotteville, near
Rouen, France.
This Invention consists in uniting one or moro folds or plies of cotton, linen,
woollen, or other woven fabric covered on both sides with india-rubber, or a com-
pound of india rubber with metallic oxides.
The india-rubber may be either vulcanised or what is commercially known as
natural india-rubber.
Any number of these folds or plies are cemented together to form the requisite
thickness for the foundation, and into it the wires are inserted by the usual
machinery.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed by
the said Charles Moseley in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 6th October

CHARLES MOSELEY, of Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, India-rubber
Manufacturer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE FOUNDATIONS OF
WIRE CARDS." A communication from abroad by John Hyde, of Sotteville, near
Rouen, France.
This Invention consists in uniting by india-rubber or other cement one or more
folds or plies of cotton, linen, woollen, or other woven fabric, the united folds or

page_text: plies being then covered on both sides to the desired thickness with india-rubber, or
a compound of india-rubber with metallic oxides.
The india-rubber may be either vulcanised or what is commercially known as
natural india-rubber.
Any number of these folds or plies are cemented together, as above described, to
form the requisite thickness for the foundation, and into this foundation the wires
are inserted by the usual machinery. By this means both the outer surfaces of the
foundation are coated with india-rubber, whereas only one outer surface of india-
rubber has been usually employed.
Having thus stated the nature and particulars of the Invention communicated to
me by the within-named John Hyde, I declare that I claim, the application of two
outer surfaces of india-rubber, as above described, to the foundations of wire cards.
In witness whereof, I, the said Charles Moseley, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Fifth day of October, One thousand eight hundred and seventy-
seven.
