Purposes.
.
I, CLEMENT HOLDSWORTH, of Shaw Lodge Mills, Halifax, in the County of
York, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention consists in manufacturing a new fabric specially designed for
lubricating the axles of railway carriages and other purposes.
In manufacturing a fabric according to this invention, we employ warp and weft
composed of wool, the warp being preferably composed of fine botany yarn. This
fabric woven in a power loom and the loops or piles are formed by the use of
wires. The fabric is woven in squares or pads of the required shape and size and
afterwards they are severed, to be used for the purposes intended.
By manufacturing this particular lubricating fabric of wool, and by making the.
pile of fine spun yarn there is no fringo or beard projecting from the pile, therefore
loose fibres are not dragged off by the rotary motion of the axle, consequently
the cutting and wearing away of the journals in the axle box by loose fibres is
avoided.
By manufacturing this particular fabric from wool it is non-self combustible; it
will also absorb the lubricant and act like a sponge and become a free and continuous
lubricating pad far more durable than those at present in use.
The face or pile of the fabric may bo composed of velvet pile.

A New or Improved Pile Fabric, specially applicable for Lubricating
Purposes.
1, CLEMENT HOLDSWORTH, of Shaw Lodge Mills, Halifax, in the County of
York, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
This invention consists in manufacturing a new fabrio specially designed for
lubricating the axles of railway carriages, piston rods and other purposes.
In manufacturing a fabric according to this invention, I employ warp and weft
composed of wool, the warp being preferably composed of fine botany yarn. This
fabric is woven in a power loom and the loops or piles which are long and pro-
jecting are formed by the use of wires. The pads of the fabric are woven in
squares of the required shape and size and afterwards they are severed from the
body of the fabric to be used for the purposes intended.
By manufacturing this particular lubricating fabric of wool and in forming on
the face thereof an uncut pile of fine spun yarn, there is no fringe or beard.
projecting from such pile, therefore loose fibres are not dragged off by the rotary
motion of the axle, consequently the cutting and wearing away of the journals in
the axle box by loose fibres is avoided.
By manufacturing this particular fabric from wool it is not self-combustible; it
will also absorb the lubricant and act like a sponge and become a free and continuous
lubricating pad far more durable than those at present in use.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The manufacture of a lubricating piled fabrio woven from yarn composed of
wool alone, the pile of euch fabric being woven in squares or other shapes which 5
are afterwards severed for purposes described.
