PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Composition for Coating Iron and Steel.
I, THOMAS WILLIAM ELLIOTT of 14 Lombard Street, in the City and County
of Newcastle-on-Tyne, Iron Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
"
This invention relates to a new or improved composition for coating iron and
steel. To effect my purpose I use what is known in the trade as "Vulcan cement
or its equivalent in a liquified form, the liquid employed being raw oil boiled oil or
by preference what is known to the trade as "Patent boiled oil" or oil paint or
paint composition and as an improvement or addition to this mixture I may add
turpentine or japanner's brown or benzoline or any of these separately or conjointly
in certain proportions.
I am aware that Vulcan cement is a well known substance & that its admixture
with oil in very small quantities is in daily use but its admixture with oil as above
described in large quantities so as to form a liquid substance capable of application
as a paint or paint-coating substance is new and the addition of the afore-mentioned
substances or either of them thereto is likewise new and constitutes the subject of
my invention.
Dated this 6th day of September 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Composition for Coating Iron and Steel.
I, THOMAS WILLIAM ELLIOTT of 14 Lombard Street, in the City and County
of Newcastle-on-Tyne, Iron Merchant 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 :-

steel.
"
or
To effect my purpose I use what is known in the trade as "Vulcan cement
its equivalent in a liquified form the liquid employed being raw oil or boiled oil or
what is known to the trade as "Patent boiled oil" or oil paint or paint composition
and as an improvement or addition to this mixture more especially for the purposes
of "driers may add turpentine or japanner's brown or benzoline or any of these
separately or conjointly in certain proportions.
I am aware that "Vulcan cement is a well known substance and that its
admixture with oil in very small quantities so as to form a cement is in daily use
but its admixture with oil as above described in sufficient quantities to form a
liquid substance capable of application as a paint or paint coating substance is new
and the addition of the aforementioned substances or either or any of them thereto
is likewise new and constitutes the subject of my invention.
By way of illustration and as an example one pound or thereabouts of the cement
may be added to one gill or thereabouts of the oil and to ten gallons or thereabouts
of the mixture so prepared there may be added one gallon or thereabouts of
turpentine or half-pound or thereabouts of japanner's brown or oue gill or there-
abouts of benzoline or proportionately of these combined.

page_text: The proportions in which the above mentioned "driers" may be added may vary
according to the rapidity or otherwise with which it may be deemed desirable for
the paint to set or become dry and hard.
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 :-
1. The admixture or combination with what is known in the trade as "Vulcan
cement of oil in sufficient quantities to form a liquid substance capable of
application as a paint or paint coating substance substantially as herein set
forth.
2. The combination with the subject matter claimed in the previous claim of a
drier or driers substantially as herein described.
