of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-three, in the seven-
teenth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors,

particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention,
and in what manner the same was to be performed, and cause the

NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Noel Natalis du Chastaingt, do
hereby declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement thereof, reference being had
to the Drawing hereunto annexed, and to the figures marked thereon,
that is to say:
My improvements in bread making consist in constructing the
receptacle or tin employed in making bread of galvanized iron wire or
perforated sheet iron, lined internally with a moveable cloth for the

page_text: reception of dough, in lieu of baker's tin plates as at present
employed.
The tins employed according to my Invention insure the immediate
contact of the dough with the air, which being a powerful agent of
fermentation facilitates the operation of the yeast and the solidification
of all the external parts of the dough.
In the annexed Drawing Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, represent views of
he forms of tins constructed according to my Invention.
And having now described the nature of my Invention, I wish it to
be understood that I do not confine myself to any precise shape or
dimension in the construction of the tins, as they may be varied. But
what I claim is, the constructing baker's metallic plates or tins employed
in making bread with galvanized iron wire or perforated sheet iron, as
herein-before described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Noel Natalis du Chastaingt, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this Sixteenth day of De-
cember, One thousand eight hundred and fifty-three.
Witness,
HY GILBEE.
