PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Glove.
We EDWARD WATTS of 89 Edgware Road London Saddler and Harness
Manufacturer and WALTER GODDEN of Childwick Bury, Saint Albans Herts
Coachman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to an improved glove and is intended to provide a more
convenient arrangement by which all kinds of steel articles may be burnished or
brightened up.
In carrying my invention into practice, I employ a glove made for preference in
wash leather or any other suitable material, having the appearance of a boxing
glove with thumb only, but without any padding.
The glove is wholely or partly covered with a steel chain secured in any suitable
manner and terminating at the wrist where the usual elastic arrangement is placed
to prevent the glove from slipping off the hand while in use. This improved glove
will be found most useful in the army and to all owners of horses for the purposes
of burnishing horses bits, riding spurs, stirrups and the like.

A New or Improved Glove.
We, EDWARD WATTS, Harness Maker 89 Edgware Road London W. and
WALTER GODDEN Coachman of Childwick Bury, St. Albans Herts 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 relates to an improved glove and is intended to provide a more
convenient arrangement by which all kinds of steel articles may be burnished or
brightened up. In carrying my invention into practice, I employ a glove made for
preference in wash leather, or any other suitable material, having the appearance
of a boxing glove with thumb only, but without any padding. The glove is wholly
or partly covered with a steel chain secured in any suitable manner, to the material
of the glove at the sides and terminating at the wrist where the usual elastic
arrangement is placed to prevent the glove from slipping off the hand while in use.
This glove will be found most useful in the army to owners of horses for the purpose
of burnishing horses bits, riding spurs, stirrups and such like articles.
In order that the chain may be more securely fastened to the material or leather
of the glove we arrange for an additional thickness of burnishing chain to be made
at the back only which is sewn or hooked on to the sides of glove and which
entirely prevents any possibility of the chain being loosened or disconnected in
front when the glove is in use.
In order that our invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1 represents the front view of
the improved glove covered with burnishing chain, a being the part of the glove

page_text: where the chain terminates, which part of the improved glove has an elastic binding
to enable the glove to fit tightly on the wrist, and thus giving a firmer grip.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
An improved burnishing or polishing glove covered partly or entirely with steel
chains substantially as described and for the purposes specified.
