page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I,. THOMAS
CHANDLER, of Stockton, in the County of Wilts, Yeoman; send greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Royal Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, bearing date at Westminster, the First day of December
(One thousand eight hundred and forty-seven), in the eleventh year of Her reign,
did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said
Thomas Chandler, my exors, adiñiors, and assigns, Her especial licence, full
power, sole privilege and authority, that I, the said Thomas Chandler, my exors,
adñiors, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Thomas Chandler, my
exors, adiñiors, 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
MACHINERY FOR APPLYING LIQUID MANURES;" in which said Letters Patent is
contained a proviso, that I, the said Thomas Chandler, shall cause a particular
description of the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, by an instrument in writing under my hand and seal, 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

arms s, s, at the back and upper part of the liquid manure vessel, as shewn,
and motion is communicated from the axis i by a cog wheel t to an inter-
mediate wheel t', which takes into and drives the cog wheel 2 on the axis of
the drill apparatus, and the seed is thrown into the funnels or tubes v, v, by
which they are conducted to the funnels or tubes w, w, and deposited with the
liquid manure by the drills a, which are of the ordinary construction, and such
is the case in respect to the levers y, y, which carry them, and also the appa-
ratus for lifting and guiding the same. I would remark, that the liquid drill
may be used for applying liquid manure to growing crops sewn in rows, as well
as to applying liquid manure when drilling seeds.
Having thus described the nature of and the manner in which my Invention
is to be carried into effect, I would remark that I do not confine myself to the
details as shown provided the peculiar character of my Invention be retained;
and I would state, that so far as the seed drill shown and described, separately
considered, I do not claim the same; but what I claim is, the combining parts
into a machine, as described, for applying liquid manure. And I also claim
the combining therewith a seed drill, so that seed and liquid manure may go
together into the earth.
"In witness whereof, I, the said Thomas Chandler, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-ninth day of May, One thousand eight
year
THOMAS (L.s.) CHANDLER.
