Year: 1878

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Robert Hopwood Hutchinson, of Blackburn, in the
County of Lancaster, Cotton Manufacturer, for the Invention of "A NEW OR
IMPROVED OIL OR LUBRICANT."
Sealed the 8th November 1878, and dated the 23rd May 1878.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Robert Hopwood Hutchinson
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 23rd May 1878.
ROBERT HOPWOOD HUTCHINSON, of Blackburn, in the County of Lancaster,
Cotton Manufacturer. "A NEW OR IMPROVED OIL OR LUBRICANT."
This Invention relates to an improved oil or lubricant specially adapted for
application and use to and with wool prior to its being gilled and combed, carded
and spun, and generally for admixture with such fibres as require oiling or
lubricating in the preparatory stages of manufacture.
According to this my Invention I use, as herein-after mentioned, and in about
the following proportions:-To each gallon olive oil I add one gallon of "Price's "
cloth oil and two gallous of best shale oil or petroleum; or a gallon of petroleum
and one gallon of olive oil; or a gallon of petroleum and one gallon of "Price's"
cloth oil; or one gallon petroleum, half a gallon of "Price's" cloth oil, and a half
gallon of recovered cloth oil.
With one or other of the above mixtures I dredge the fibres in the usual way,
and find the effect is to render the fibre soft and better to gill, card, comb, and spin,
and also effect considerable saving in first cost, as compared with oil dressing now
in use.

In some cases the proportions of the ingredients constituting the several mixtures
may be varied to suit some particular fibre, but the proportions given are those
which in practise I have found best for general use.
In witness whereof, I, the said Robert Hopwood Hutchinson, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Twenty-first day of November, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight.
