that he had intended to escape from Spain to France, but that he had been followed
by a message from Queen Isabel, who sent him an autograph letter provided with the
royal seal. The imitation of this letter, with the historical seal of Queen Isabel, is
appended to the book, and shown by the drawing.

Improved Plasterer's Lathing.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Plasterer's Lathing.
I, BERNDT GEORG ALEXIS WESTERDAHL, of Nyland, in the Kingdom of Sweden,
Manager, 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 improved lathing adapted to be attached to the walls or
ceilings of rooms or buildings for supporting plaster or stucco thereon.
The improved lathing consists of wood splints or strips held together by means of
wire so that the whole forms a web or net in which the weft consists of wood splints
and the warp of soft wire.
To enable iny invention to be fully understood I will describe the same with reference
to the accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 is an elevation of part of a web, and
Figure 2 a section of the same.
a, a are the wood splints which are of angular form as shown so that the plaster or
the like will readily adhere thereto, and b, bare the wire connections which are pressed
into the edges of the splints so as to prevent the latter from becoming longitudinally
displaced. The splints are placed parallel with each other and the wires which serve
for their connection are twisted once or twice between each two adjacent splints in
order to give the whole the necessary rigidity. In practice I prefer to make each
successive twist in the opposite direction to that last made.
It is obvious that the web or mat may be made of any width and length according
to requirements. In order that when two webs or mats are laid side by side no crack
will be formed at the joint between the mats the splints are preferably laid in a zig-zag
manner, that is to say, so that the ends of adjacent splints are at different levels and
the ends of alternate splints at the same level, as shown in Figure 1, thus forming a
series of what I may term indentations into which the projecting ends of the splints of
an adjacent mat will enter.
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.) Plasterer's lathing consisting of a series of wood splints of angular shape
connected together by means of wires, which wires are twisted together between each
pair of splints and preferably in different directions on opposite sides of the same
splint, substantially as described.
(2.) The manufacture and use of the improved lathing hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawing for the purpose specified.

An Improvement in Machine Gearing and Couplings.
Year: 1890

page_text: Date of Application, 10th May, 1890-Accepted, 14th June, 1890
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
[Communicated from abroad by MAX MANNESMANN, of Remscheid Bliedinghausen, in
the German Empire, Engineer.]
An Improvement in Machine Gearing and Couplings.
I, OLIVER IMRAY, of No. 28 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the
County of London, Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents, 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:―
In the Specification No. 11504 of 1888 are described means of gearing wheels
together by projecting from each wheel pins having flattened sides and causing these
pins to turn on their own axes as the wheels revolve so that the power is transmitted
through flat surfaces of the pins sliding upon one another.
My present invention relates to a modification of this arrangement whereby I
render the gearing suitable for revolving in either direction without back-lash.
For this purpose I make the pins of one set with both their sides flattened so that
their transverse section is a rectangle with rounded ends, and I make the pins of the
other set slotted to receive these rectangular pins sliding in them, as may be best
understood by reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a front view and
Fig. 2 is a side view shewing two wheels A and B having their axes at right angles
gearing together by pins according to my present invention.
The pins C of the one wheel B are flat on both sides and the pins (º of the other
wheel are made with slots i in which the flattened pins C can slide. These flattened
pins C are shewn in Fig. 2 as being supported in bearings at each end; they might
however project from the face of the wheel B with their bearings only at the one end
as shewn in Figs. 3 and 4, or with front and back bearings as shewn for the slotted
pins Co. All the pins of the wheel A may be slotted as shewn those of B being
Hattened, or some of the pins of each wheel being of both kinds when the numbers
are equal. The rotation of the pins in their bearings is effected as described in the
specification above referred to, by a crank D on the axis of each pin jointed at d to a
ring E guided in its revolution by rollers R and R¹. When the axes of two shafts
make a considerable angle with one another or are nearly in a straight line, as
indicated in Fig. 4, the gearing described serves as a coupling presenting the
advantage that uniform rotation of the one shaft ensures uniform rotation of the
other.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
Gearing two wheels or coupling two shafts together by pins free to rotate on their
axes projecting from both, these pins being in pairs, the one of each pair being
flattened on both sides, and the other slotted to receive it, substantially as described.
