PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Steel and Iron Barrels.
JAMES MARTIN STORRAR, Oil Merchant, 11 Bothwell Street, Glasgow and
WILLIAM CRAWFORD, Tinsmith, 46 Meuse Lane, Glasgow do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows :-
Our invention has for its object the manufacture of steel or iron barrels or such
like vessels. We make the body part or parts of one continuous sheet of iron or
steel, the length forming the circumference and the breadth the length of the
barrel or other vessel; two or more sheets may be joined to make up the required
length of vessel.
The seams of body may be joined in any known manner, but we prefer
to cut the ends of sheet or sheets to a given radius so as to procure a partial
bulge and thus lessen the strain upon the seams when the full bulge is being
formed.
The seamed cylindrical body is then inserted into a recessed iron casing of the
desired shape and either by rolling, burnishing or hydraulic power the body is
worked into the shape of the mould or casing, which may be of two or more parts.
Should corrugations on the body of the barrel or other vessel be desired, recesses
or projections may be formed on the sides of the casing in which the vessel is
formed.
The ends of the barrel or other vessel are formed by dies, in the known
manner but preferably with a recess at the junction with the body; the edges of
body and ends to be properly cleaned so that the two may be united by galvanizing
or other mode of soldering.
