PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Richard John Cole at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the

I, RICHARD JOHN COLE, of No. 11, Pembridge Gardens, Bayswater, in the
County of Middlesex, Esquire, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN ORNAMENTING THE WINDOWS OF PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE VEHICLES," to be as follows:-
The object of this Invention is to ornament the glass surfaces of the windows
of carriages generally in any desired pattern or design.
I propose using either plain, flowered, lace pattern, or bordered glass, with
clear centres or spaces, within which I place or transfer chromo-lithographs,
photographs, or other impressions, prints, or paintings, and attach the same
to the surface of the glass by suitable transparent cement or varnish as a
protection against damage from moisture or atmospheric influence.
The lace or flowered borders may be produced by any of the known means,

may be either matted or tinted, or partly plain and partly tinted, or plain
ground borders may be used, or the entire windows may be covered with the
ornamental design, either plain or in colors.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said Richard John Cole in the Great Seal Patent Office on the

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, RICHARD

reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the
said Richard John Cole, Her special licence that I, the said Richard John
Cole, my executors; administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the
said Richard John Cole, my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at
any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times'
thereafter during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make,
use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN ORNAMENTING THE WINDOWS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE VEHICLES," upon
the condition (amongst others) that I, the said Richard John Cole, my
executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under my, or their,
or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain
the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same was to be
performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office
within six calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said
Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Richard John Cole, do hereby declare
the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement, that is to say:
-
The object of this Invention is to ornament the glass surfaces of the windows
of carriages or vehicles in any desired pattern or design.
In order to explain my said Invention as completely as possible. I now

page_text: proceed to describe the best means I am acquainted with for carrying the
same into practical effect, as follows:-
I use either plain, flowered, lace pattern, or bordered glass, with clear
centres or spaces, within which I place or transfer chromo-lithographs, photo-
graphic pictures, or other impressions, prints or paintings, and attach the
same to the surface of the glass by suitable transparent cement or varnish as
a protection against damage from moisture or other atmospheric influence.
The lace or flowered borders may be produced by any of the known means,
and may be either matted or tinted, or partly plain and partly tinted, or plain
ground borders may be used, and in some instances the entire surface of the
glass may be covered with the ornamental design either plain or in colors.
Having now described the nature of my said Invention of "Improvements
in Ornamenting the Windows of Public and Private Vehicles," and the
manner in which the same is to be performed, I would remark in conclusion
that I do confine myself to any particular description of picture to be attached
to the glass, nor to any particlar kind of cement or varnish by which the
same are to be attached, as many means may be adopted for the like purposes
without departing from the principle of my Invention, but what I claim as my
Invention intended to be secured to me by the herein in part recited Letters
Patent is the ornamenting of the windows of public and private vehicles in the
manner herein described and set forth.
In witness whereof, I, the said Richard John Cole, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Twenty-seventh day of March, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-one.
Witness,
