I SYDNEY TURNER of Barrow Haven in the County of Lincoln Civil Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
The mode of construction is to form a projection along the Tile under the wing
forming with the wing a groove similar in shape to the fillet and large enough to
receive it this projection is fluted on its top side so as to form a channel to convey onto
the Tile below any water that may enter either under the wing or at the lap of the
Tile above. This projection fits under the fillet of the adjacent Tile and thus secures
it from being blown off. The fillet is curved over outwards forming a small wing and
shaped so as to fit under the wing and into the channel on the projection in the
adjacent Tile above referred to. This lapping over of the fillet prevents any water
that may blow under the wing passing otherwise than into the channel on the pro-
jection and thence onto the Tile below. The wing is shorter at the head end of the
Tile to a length equal to the required lap and at the same end of the Tile a slice is
taken off the upper side of the fillet of equal length to the required lap and sufficient
in size to enable the Tile above to lap over and bed on them. This construction
enables the Tiles to be left square at all their corners so that when the Tiles aro fixed
on the Roof there will be five thicknesses of Tile lapping each other at the corners
making it specially tight when most other Tiles fail.

I SYDNEY TURNER of Barrow Haven in the County of Lincoln Civil 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:-
The mode of construction is to form a projection (D) along the Tile under the
wing (A) forming with the wing a groove similar in shape to the fillet (B) and large
enough to receive it this projection is fluted on its top side so as to form a channel to
convey onto the Tile below any water that may enter either under the wing or at the
lap of the Tile above. This projection fits under the fillet of the adjacent Tile and
thus secures it from being blown off. The fillet is curved over outwards forming a
small wing and shaped so as to fit under the wing and into the channel on the pro-
jection in the adjacent Tile above referred to. This lapping over of the Fillet prevents
any water that may blow under the wing passing otherwise than into the channel on
the projection and thence onto the Tile below. The wing is made shorter at the
head (C) end of the Tile to a length equal to the required lap and at the same end of
the Tile a slice is taken off the upper side of the fillet of equal length to the required
lap and sufficient in size to enable the Tile above to lap over and bed on them. This
construction enables the Tiles to be left square at all their corners so that when the
Tiles are fixed on the Roof there will be five thicknesses of Tile lapping each other at
the corners making it specially tight where most other Tiles fail.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The improved formation of a channel by the projection under the wing as shown
in the annexed drawing.
2. The improved formation of the fillet and projection under the wing as shown in
the annexed drawing so as to form a lock.
3. Having five thicknesses of Tile at the corners when in position.
