PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Paste or Size for Use in the Pasting of Cop Bottoms
and the Sizing of Cotton Goods.
I, WILLIAM ALFRED BROWN, of 1 Johnson Street, Smedley Lane, Cheetham,
Manchester, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The improvements relate to paste for stiffening the yarn in yarn cop bottoms,
and to size for cotton goods, and have for object the production of a compound
which shall answer the purposes to which such pastes and sizes are applied by
cotton manufacturers, in a more satisfactory and efficient manner.
To accomplish this, and to effect my improvements, I employ starch or farina,
soap, and sugar, by preference in about the following proportions, viz. :-
After intimately mixing these ingredients together, I add thereto two gallons of
water, and when the whole is in solution, it is boiled, after which it is ready
for use.
Before adding the soap, I prefer to treat it in the following manner, that is to
say, I first cause the same to be cut into shavings or thin strips, after which it
is dried, and then heated, and finally, after being allowed to go cold, it is
pulverized.
By the means described, I obtain a paste suitable for cop bottoms, which paste
may be applied by brush, or in other ways; and the compound is equally efficacious
as a size for certain purposes for the use of cotton manufacturers, and may be applied
in the ordinary manner.
Variations in detail, such as the method of treating the soap before admixture,
and, to some extent, in the proportions of the substances employed, may be made
without departing from the peculiar character of the invention.
Dated this 22nd day of June 1893.

manufacturers of cotton goods, and may be applied in the ordinary manner.
Variations in detail, such as the method of treating the soap before admixture,

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A paste or size for cop bottoms of yarn, or for other sizing purposes, composed of
