PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Steam Jacketted Pans.
We, CARRON COMPANY, incorporated by Royal Charter, of Carron, Stirling-
shire, Ironmasters and Founders, and THOMAS BAMFORTH, Foundry Manager to
the said Company, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention which relates to steam jacketted pans for cooking and like use
has for its object to provide for more convenient access by the arrangement in
more concentrated position of the various steam and water supply valves than is
usually adopted. This is attained by fixing above or below the top plate of the
pans and preferably in the centre of the nest or battery, annular rings or boxes one
for steam and one for water and from which nests or batteries comprising any
number of pans may be supplied with steam and water by branches from same, all
being within easy control of an attendant.

We, CARRON COMPANY, incorporated by Royal Charter, of Carron, Stirling-
shire, Ironmasters and Founders, and THOMAS BAMFORTH, Foundry Manager to
the said Company, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the saine is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention which relates to steam jacketted pans for cooking and like use
has for its object to provide for more convenient access by the arrangement in
more concentrated position of the various steam and water supply valves than is
usually adopted. This is attained by fixing above or below the top plate of the
pans and preferably in the centre of the nest or battery, annular rings or boxes
one for steam and one for water and from which nests or batteries comprising any
number of pans may be supplied with steam and water by branches from same, all
being within easy control of an attendant.
The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 of which
is a vertical section and Figure 2 a plan showing the improved arrangement
of pans.
As shewn particularly at Figure 1 the main steam pipe A is led into an annular
box B from which branch pipes provided with cocks 6' supply steam to the
pans C, said annular box being supported upon the hot plate D of the battery.
On the top of this box B a second annular box E rests from which branch pipes e
provided with cocks el supply water to the pans C the water pipe F for supplying
the box E being led through a recess formed for it in the side of the box B.

page_text: Branch pipes g leading from the pans C are carried into an uptake G whose lower
end dips into a condensing pipe connected by a small pipe I with the drain so
that any matter carried by the steam during the cooking operation will as the
steam condenses fall to the bottom of the pipe H and be finally washed into the
drain.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
The combination with a nest or battery of steam jacketted pans of annular
boxes situated at the centre of the battery and serving to supply water and
steam to the several pans substantially as described.
Dated this 8th day of November 1895.
