COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Cloth.
We, ALBERT BEAUMONT, Designer, of Richmond House, Fartown, Hudders-
field, and WILLIE BEAUMONT, and ARNOLD WYCLIFFE SMITH, trading as
Beaumont and Smith of Britannia Mills, Leeds, Manufacturers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be perfornied, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of our invention is to produce worsted cloth, by employing wool in
combination with worsted, whereby we obtain a cheaper worsted cloth, which is of
a softer handle than that composed entirely of worsted. Also the back of the
cloth is identical with the face, and the woollen, (unless required for ornamentation
as hereinafter explained) is buried or hidden from view by the worsted face
and back.
In carrying out our invention the cloth may be made.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
In these diagrammatic views, Fig. 1 shows construction of cloth according to (a),
and Fig. 2, shows construction of cloth according to (b).
According to (a), this cloth is of five fold construction in the warp, and of two
fold construction in the weft.
The warp is made one worsted thread A of face warp, one worsted_thread B of
backing warp, one worsted thread A of face warp, one worsted thread B of backing
warp, and one thread C of middle or woollen warp, throughout the warp.
The weft is woven one thread D of face weft, and one thread E of backing weft.
According to (6) this cloth is of three fold construction in the warp, and two
fold, construction in the weft.
The warp is made one thread A of face warp, one thread B of backing warp, and
one thread C of middle warp, throughout the warp.
The weft is woven one thread D of face weft and one thread C of backing weft.
In all cases the woollen threads are used as stitching threads, or threads for
joining the face and back together, whether they are buried in the cloth, or
brought onto the face for ornamentation.
The said cloth has the same appearance on the back and face as a solid worsted
cloth, made 1 end of face warp, and one end of backing warp, and woven 1 end of
face weft, and 1 end of backing weft.

The construction as before set forth, is adapted to the "Cassimere" twill
Hopsack," or any other suitable weave.

page_text: 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 :-
1. The manufacture of cloth having a worsted face, and worsted back with a
middle part of woollen, substantially as set forth.
2. The manufacture of cloth having a worsted face and worsted back with a
middle part of woollen brought as required by the weave to the face of the cloth
to produce ornamentation upon such, substantially as set forth.
3. The manufacture of cloth constructed fivefold in a warp composed of worsted
and woollen, and two fold in a weft composed of worsted, such as described with
reference to (a).
4. The manufacture of cloth constructed three fold in a warp composed of
worsted and woollen, and a weft composed of worsted woven one thread of face
