years therein expressed, sliould' and lawfully might, make, usc, exercise, and
vend my said Invention within that part of His sd Majesty's Kingdom of 1
Great Britain called England, His Dominion of Wales, & Town of Berwick-
upon-Tweed, in such manner as to me, the said John Hazledine, my exors,
adiors, and assigns, should seem meet; and in which said Letters Patent
there is contained a proviso, that if I, the said John Hazledine, should not par-
ticularly describe and ascertain the nature of my said Invention, and in what
manner the same was to be performed, by an instrument in writing under my
hand and seal, and cause the same to be inrolled in His Majesty's High
Court of Chancery within one calendar month next and immediately after
the date of the said Letters Patent, that then the saine should determine and

NOW KNOW YE, that I; the said John Hazledine, in compliance with and
in pursuance of the aforesaid proviso in the said in part recited Letters Patent
contained, by this present Instrument in writing, under my hand and seal, do
ascertain and particularly describe the nature of my said Invention in the said
Letters Patent mentioned, and' how the same is to be performed, and decläre
the same to be in manner and form following (that is to say):-
I make, erect, and build, fix up and fasten, or cause and procure to be
made, erected, and built, fixed up and fastened, two or more pair of rollers
commonly used for the rolling out of iron, copper, brass, tin; or other metal,
or with certain alterations or additions and improvements of the compenent
parts thereof by me made thereto, of the shape or form more particularly
delineated and described in and by the several Drawings and references in the
Schedule hereunto annexed or hereunder written, or by some or one of them,
and each pair of such rollers being so erected and built, fixed up and fastened,
near to or at some distance from the next or other pair of rollers, and either
of the same size or of different sizes, then I make my new-invented trough,
conducter, or guide, of iron, copper, brass, tin, or other metal, of the form or
shape delineated and described by the Drawings thereof and references thereto
in the said Schedule hereunto annexed or hereunder written, and of such
length, breadth, and depth, or square or round, as occasion may require,
through which trough, conducter, or guide, when fixed up or fastened, or other-
wise supported, put, and placed between the different pairs of rollers as
herein-after mentioned, the metal, fed or put into the first pair of rollers,
will pass and be fed into the second pair of rollers without the assistance or
employment of any person or persons for that purpose, and so on from one pair
of Follers to another pair through any greater number of pair of rollers thair

page_text: two pair, as occasion may require. And I fix up and fasten, support, put up,
and place, my said trough, conducter, or guide between the different pairs of
rollers, with one end to each pair of rollers, by and with one or more sup-
porters under it, or other fixing or fastening made of iron, copper, brass, tin,
or other metal, or of different materials, to support, hold up, or hang my said
trough, conducter, or guide between the said rollers to the necessary and
proper level; or I otherwise make and fix up and support my said trough, con-
ducter, or guide, as in and by the Plan or Drawings thereof, and references in
writing in the said Schedule hereunto annexed or hereunder written, is more
particularly delineated and described, and which I declare to be part of this
my Specification.
