page_text: LETTERS PATENT to John Louis Jullion, of Tynemouth, in the County of
Northumberland, Chemist, for the Invention of "AN IMPROVEMENT IN
THE APPARATUS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER."
THE APPARATUS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER.”
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said John Louis Jullion at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
13th March 1861.
I, JOHN LOUIS JULLION, of Tynemouth, in the County of Northumberland,
Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "AN
IMPROVEMENT IN THE APPARATUS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER," to be
as follows:-
My Invention of an improvement in the apparatus used in the manufacture
of paper consists in the substitution for the ordinary woollen felt usually
employed in paper-making machinery of a fabric composed of vegetable fibre,
such as cotton, which is by preference woven in a circular loom, so as to avoid
the necessity of making a seam, after which the fabric is finished with a pile
or raised surface on one side like velveteens or fustians. By the substitution
of this material for the ordinary woollen felt a considerable economy is
effected.

by the said John Louis Jullion in the Great Seal Patent Office on
the 13th September 1861.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, JOHN
LOUIS JULLION, of Tynemouth, in the County of Northumberland, Chemist,
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Thirteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, in the twenty-fourth year
of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant
unto me, the said John Louis Jullion, Her special license that I, the
said John Louis Jullion, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such
others as I, the said John Louis Jullion, my executors, administrators, and
assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time
and at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should and
lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an
Invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE APPARATUS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE
OF PAPER," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said John Louis
Jullion, by an instrument in writing under my hand and seal, should par-
ticularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what
manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the
Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately
after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said John Louis Jullion, do hereby
declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement (that is to say) :-
In the drying apparatus employed in the manufacture of paper an endless
apron made of woollen felt is used; this is an expensive article, and is liable
to some objections.
My Invention of "An Improvement in the Apparatus used in the Manu-
facture of Paper" consists simply in the substitution for the woollen felt above
mentioned as being usually employed in paper-making machinery of a fabric
composed of vegetable fibre, such as cotton.
The cotton fabric for the purposes of the present Invention should be woven
of considerable substance, say, about the substance of strong fustian or sail-
cloth, and in order to avoid the necessity of making a seam in the endless

page_text: apron I prefer to weave the fabric in the form of a circle or cylinder, after
which the fabric is to be finished with a pile or raised surface on one side in
the same manner as velveteens or fustians are now finished.
By the substitution of this cotton fabric for the ordinary woollen felt now
used in the drying machine employed in the manufacture of paper a considerable
economy is effected.
Having now described my Invention of "An Improvement in the Apparatus
used in the Manufacture of Paper," I claim as the Invention secured to me by
Letters Patent as aforesaid the use in the manufacture of paper of a fabric
made of cotton or other suitable vegetable substance, and with a suitable
surface, in place of the ordinary woollen felts now usually employed in the
drying apparatus of paper-making machinery.
In witness whereof, I, the said John Louis Jullion, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, the Eleventh day of September, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-one.
Witness,
WILLIAM LEE,
Gateshead Fell,
Durham.
