Improvements in Boarded Roofing and the like.
I EDWARD ALBERT JOLLYE Donington near Spalding in the County of Lincolnshire
Architect & Surveyor Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of boarding-planks, or battens of any thickness or dimensions,
and of any quality, or, growth of timber, manipulated or wrought by means of
machinery or otherwise, to the form, shape, and contour, shown by me in the accom-
panying drawings-and this boarding is intended to be used as a roofing material
and roof covering, or protection, for all kinds of buildings-sheds, erections or
Structures, whatsoever-The boarding to be fixed, or secured in position, by means of
galvanised or other specially prepared nails screws, pins, or fastenings-to any kind of
roof, roof truss, principal, or frame work, whether straight or circular, or in part
straight and part circular-and so placed in position to prevent any board, plank, or
batten, as above described, from coming in direct contact with or resting immediately
upon, any other board, plank, batten, or timber, but shall be-by means of the
galvanised hob nails G, (shown on drawings) Figs. 2 & 3. or by similar means, be kept
a distance from the purlins, ridges, rafters, or plates, used-thus, securing an

The boarding either before or after fixing to be "creosoted "
boiled linseed oil, or other " preparation which will tend to further assist in the
preservation of the boarding.
The boarding where it comes into near contact, at the ridge, or apex, or
or against, any other structure, to be protected by means of galvanised iron or zinc,

constructed and fixed in such form and manner, to be efficient.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Boarded Roofing and the like.
I EDWARD ALBERT JOLLYE Donington near Spalding in the County of Lincolnshire
Architect & Surveyor Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects do horeby
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:-
My invention consists of manipulating boards, plauks, or battens, of any thickness
or dimensions and of any quality or growth of timber-by means of machinery or
otherwise and molding or cutting these boards, planks, or battens to the general
shape and contour shown upon the drawings left with the Provisional Specification,
and to utilise the boarding for purposes of roofing or protecting all kinds of sheds,
or buildings of all or any kind whatsoever, fixing same in position either by means of
galvanised iron nails, or screws, to the roof trusses, rafters, plates, ridges, or purlins.
The boarding to be fixed either straight, or in a circular form, or in part straight and
part curved & fixed in position so as to prevent any of the roofing boards from coming
nto direct or immediate contact with any other boarding, planks, or battens roof truss,
r supports by means of the galvanised iron hob nails (or other method,) G. shown on
rawings Figs. 2 & 3, which nails may be driven into the purlins or plates as shown
r driven into the boards themselves, so that the nail head keeps apart the roof-boarding

«air
The boarding either before or after fixing to be either "creosoted," dressed with
lin-red oil painted, or prepared as circumstances may require, and dictate, & for
the express intention of further assisting the preservation of the hoarding and making
it more durable than wood would be without, or it may be coated with a fireproof
substance.
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 !
claim is.
1. That by boards of the shape shown and so grooved, and molded, and fixed, I am
able to construct a roof which will be watertight.
2. That I am able to provide a cheap covering of a light nature, which besides
being water and weather tight, affords ample means of ventilating the building
itself.
3. That I can create a building which will effectually minimise the deleterious
effects of many offensive trades upon the health & comfort of those individuals or
animals concerned in such works.
4. That it is specially calculated to maintain an equable temperature in both summer
and winter.
5. That being in long lengths and rigidly fixed the roof itself will not be liable to
want repairing as in the case of tiles or slates which by force of wind or carelessness
on the part of individuals fall or get pushed out of their position and cause a hole in
the roof.
6. That for covered "stock" or crew yards" the terrifying noise created by hail
or rain upon corrugated iron buildings is overcome and dispensed with.
7 That there will be no appreciable amount of condensation caused by this
boarded material as is the case with buildings covered with iron and other
materials.
8. That the boarding can be easily and readily fixed by the most inexperienced
workman.
9. That the material can be readily shipped or conveyed from one part of the
country to another without risk of breakage or damage as is the case with tiles
and slates.
10. That it is a means of obtaining a healthy and properly ventilated workshop, shed
or factory without resorting to artificial means of extracting the foul air.
Dated this 12th day of December 1890.
