Victor Street & Cleethorpe Road, Grimsby, Lincolnshire, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
One large tank to be sunk into the earth with pipe leading from bottom side to
a small tank fixed underneath the platform & 4 small pipes running out of
cach side of the small tank to the outer edge of platform, the whole to be fixed
with a raised rim at the edge of the 4 small pipes. The large tank to stand a certain
height out of the earth, to have a moveable top with lever to be connected with a
plunger so that when the handle is raised the plunger presses the water in the
large tank, forces the water out of the small tank & 4 small pipes, & so floods

FRED MORRIS WOODTHORPE and TOM WILLIAM HADDOCK, Coach Builders,
Victor Street & Cleethorpe Road. Grimsby, Lincolnshire, 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:-
::
One large tank, B as shown in section of apparatus Sheet No. 2. with pipe, C
leading into small tank, D, the small tank being fixed underneath the platform, F,
4 smaller pipes, E, running one from each side of tank, D, to the outer edge of
the platform, F. & fixed in brick work G, about inch below the level of the
platform, but the brick work on the same level as platform a small cemented
bank H the depth made according to the size of tyres put on is made at the
edge of brickwork, the top of it being the ground level. The tank B is fitted with
moveable top, rod and shackle connection with lever A on the side of tank, the
lever A being connected with an iron rod fixed upon the top of a large hollow
wooden plunger I, when the water is put into the tanks and pipes to the level
of in. below the top of pipes E & tank D & the wheel is fixed upon the plat-
form, by raising the lever A the plunger I is pressed down forcing the water out

tyre, when the lever A is pulled back into its normal position the water recedes
& leaves the platform perfectly clear instantly. The plunger I is made with
a part cut out of the four sides as shown by K, so that when the pressure is put
on by the plunger I, the water does not rise at the sides, but runs through & so
keeps the water down & upon the platform. The large tank is fitted at bottom
with a small pipe J covered in by suction lid & chain to lead into drain, so that
the tanks can be emptied by taking off the top. lifting out the plunger & rais-
ing the suction lid.
The whole of the above is shown on Sheet No. 2.
No. 1 shows a complete ground plan of No. 2.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
That the apparatus as shown on Sheet No. 2 by the tank B. four pipes E, tank D,
pipe C. plunger I, J, K, and lever A, when fitted together and fixed to platform,
the water can be forced upon platform instantly by working the lever A up,
and withdrawn instantly, by working the lever A down, thus forming a unique
novelty in the apparatus and process of tyring wheels.
Dated this Twenty first day of January 1898.
