IMPROVEMENTS IN PRESERVING ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE SUB- STANCES AND LIQUIDS
Year: 1841

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, STEPHAN
GOLDNER, of West Street, Finsbury Circus, in the City of London, Merchant,
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at West-
minster, the Eighth day of March, in the fourth year Her reign, did, for
Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said Stephan
Goldner, Her especial licence, full power, sole privilege and authority, that
I, the said Stephan Goldner, my exors, admors, and assigns, or such others
as I, the said Stephan Goldner, my exors, adiñors, or assigns, should at any
time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times during the
term of years therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise,
and vend, within England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed,
my Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN PRESERVING ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE SUB-
STANCES AND LIQUIDS;" in which said Letters Patent is contained a proviso that
I, the said Stephan Goldner, shall cause a particular description of the nature
of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
inrolled in Her said Majesty's High Court of Chancery within six calendar
months next and immediately after the date of the said in part recited Letters
Patent, as in and by the same, reference being thereunto had, will more fully
and at large appear.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the
said Stephan Goldner, do hereby declare that the nature of my said
Invention, and the manner in which the same is to be performed, are fully
described and ascertained in and by the following statement thereof (that
is to say):
My Invention relates to a mode of heating the vessels in which animal and
vegetable matters are to be preserved by driving off the atmospheric air and pro-
ducing a vacuum therein, and which driving off the atmospheric air by heat
has heretofore for the most part been performed by stoves or ovens, which is
liable to burn the materials. Now, the object of the Invention is," to employ a
chemical bath, which, on the one hand, shall maintain a heat considerably
above that of boiling water (212° of Fährenheit), and, on the other hand, not
be so high a temperature as to burn the animal or vegetable matters in
the cases in which they are to be preserved, by obtaining a vacuum,' by
driving off the atmospheric air therefrom, by heat in the manner described
in the Specification of a Patent granted to John Wertheimer, of West Street,
Finsbury Circus, in the City of London, bearing date at Westminster; and
in order to describe the present Invention I will proceed to describe the
means pursued by me.
:
I use a solution of muriate of lime, of nitrate of soda (preferring muriate
of lime, because I am enabled thereby to obtain a constant temperature of
270° to 280° of Fahrenheit without material evaporation; whereas by the use
of nitrate of soda the temperature will not be more than about 250° Fahren-
heit: and I place such solution in a trough of a depth somewhat less
than the vessels or cases containing the provisions, and by putting such
cases into such liquid, and keeping the liquid heated by steam pipes or other-
wise, a constant and equable temperature may be maintained, and no burning
can take place.
'
I would remark, that I am aware that baths of a similar description have
been used for other purposes; I do not therefore claim their use generally, but
only when applied to the purposes of heating vessels or cases containing
provisions, by driving off the atmospheric air therefrom, to be preserved by
closing them air-tight.
:
In witness whereof, I, the said Stephan Goldner, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and forty-one.
