WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, in and
by His Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, bearing date at Westminster, the Twenty-third day of
June, in the forty-eighth year of His reign, for Himself, His heirs and successors,

that is to say:-
The flax, when heckled, to be bleached by laying on the grass. The exposure
in the air in the process of bleaching will have the effect of dividing or opening
the fibres, by which means it will be rendered of a very fine texture; when
perfectly white, it should then be made strait by being drawn again
through the heckles, and then cut of a proper length to work with the
cotton. An equal quantity of flax and cotton, or any other proportion, may
then be mixed, carded, and spun together.

In witness whereof, I, the said George Lowe, have hereunto set my hand

the reign of our Sovereign Lord George the Third, by the grace

form, whereby the spindles in the centre are upwards of forty inches asunder,
and decrease from the centre 'til those near the ends are not more than
2 inches; thus those in and near the centre work correctly, whilst those near
the ends are making a very imperfect article.

cards, for writing or printing upon, or for playing cards, and all other purposes for
which cards are used; also for cutting strong sheets of pasteboard for binding
or covering books, or for cutting parchment, leather, hay, straw, rags, and
various other articles, which have usually been performed by sheers, or scissars,
knives, stamps, flys, &c.
The principal merit which I claim in the construction of this machine is,
the appropriation of a number of cutters made circularly, see the Drawings
hereunto annexed, which will be found capable of producing much greater
expedition and accuracy than can possibly be acquired by the instruments
which have heretofore been used.

METHOD OF GLAZING HOTHOUSES, GREENHOUSES, AND ALL OTHER HORTICULTURAL BUILDINGS, SKYLIGHTS, AND SO FORTH,
Year: 1811

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, Joun
STUBBS JORDEN, of Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Patent Copper
Sash and Hothouse Frame Manufacturer, send greeting.
KNOW YE, that in compliance with the proviso mentioned and contained
in certain Letters Patent granted unto me, bearing date the Twentieth day of
August now last past, I, the said John Stubbs Jorden, do hereby declare that
my said "NEW METHOD OF GLAZING HOTHOUSES, GREENHOUSES, AND ALL OTHER
HORTICULTURAL BUILDINGS, SKYLIGHTS, AND SO FORTH," consists in the following
description:-
I denominate my Invention Perforated Shield Glazing, by uniting panes of
crown or common glass previously cut out in the shape of shields, as shewn
by the Drawing in the margin hereof, of the same equal size and shape, or
parts of the same shape, as the purpose may require, which I cause to lap
over each other in the manner of fish scales, in frames A, A, A, A, made of
copper, brass, iron, tin, or other metals or mixture of metals proper for the
purpose, or in frames made of wood or wood and metal connected. And in
lieu of common putty to unite the panes at B, B, B, I use a cement on which
the action of air, water, or frost has but little, if any, power, having an aper-
ture at the base of the shield so that the condensed steam or water may pass
off, which in the common manner of glazing falls upon the plants, to their
great injury. By this shape and method of shield glazing the lap-over of the
glass becomes an inclined line dexter and sinister, as at B, B, B, and the
cement being furrowed out on the under side forms a channel for the condensed
water to escape without freezing between the laps of the glass, as is the case

page_text: in the common method of glazing, which is very destructive to the glass, and
incurs a very heavy annual expence in repairs.
In witness whereof, I, the said John Stubbs Jorden, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, the Seventeenth day of October, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and eleven.
AND BE IT REMEMBERED, that on the Seventeenth day of October, in
the fifty-first year of the reign of His Majesty King George the Third, the said
John Stubbs Jorden came before our said Lord the King in His Chancery, and
acknowledged the Instrument aforesaid, and all and every thing therein con-
tained and specified, in form above written. And also the Instrument aforesaid
was stamped according to the tenor of the Statute made in the forty-eighth
year of His said Majesty's reign.
Inrolled the Nineteenth day of October, One thousand eight hundred and
eleven.

in the fifty-first. year of His reign, give and grant unto me, the said

what manner the same is to be performed, by an instrument in writing
under my
hand and seal, and cause the same to be enrolled in His Majesty's

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Walter Rochfort, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention, and
the manner in which the same is to be performed, are particularly described
and ascertained as follows, that is to say :-
I roast the coffee in the usual way, and whilst it is hot or warm, and the
oil will bind, either grind, bruise, granulate, or reduce it to a powder in the
usual way, but as quick as possible; then, by a press or other engine or
machine of sufficient force, and whilst the coffee is hot or wärm, I do compress
it into a solid body as to expel and exclude, the air as much as possible. It
should, and more especially if intended for carriage, be pressed into tin
boxes, earthenware, or other proper vessels of a close firm texture, as it is of
a friable nature, and then to be covered close down till wanted.
In witness whereof, I, the said Walter Rochfort, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, the Sixth day of November, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and eleven.
