of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN PREPARING AND
COMBING WOOL;" in which said Letters Patent is contained a proviso that I.
the said Samuel Cunliffe Lister, shall cause a particular description of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be inrolled
in Her said Majesty's High Court of Chancery within six calendar months
next and immediately after the date of the said in part recited Letters
Patent, as in and by the same, reference being thereunto had, will more
fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Samuel Cunliffe Lister, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention, and

page_text: the manner of performing the same, will be fully understood by the following
description.
My improvement in preparing wool consists in passing wool through a
screw gill before being combed, as I find it very beneficial in opening out the
staples and separating the fibres of wool, and at the same time obtaining an
endless sliver ready for filling on to the combes. My improvement in combing
wool consists in causing the saddle comb to recede at the time that the
revolving combs are passing through the wool, and thereby relieving the strain
upon the wool. I have not thought it necessary to show Drawings, as it is a
matter of easy application to the machines now in use, and can be done in a
variety of ways, that any mechanic, having the idea given, could easily apply.
In witness whereof, I, the said Samuel Cunliffe Lister, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Twenty-fifth day of March, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and forty-five.

WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL
BLACK, of Adam Street, Adelphi, Gentleman, send greeting.
ME, I, CHARLES
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Royal Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at
Westminster, the Fifteenth day of April, in the eighth year of Her reign, did,.
for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said
Charles Black, my exors; adiñors, and assigns, Her especial licence, full power,
sole privilege and authority, that I, the said Charles Black, my exors, adñors,
and assigns, or such others as I, the said Charles Black, my exors, admors,
or assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time
and at all times during the term of years therein expressed, should and lawfully
might make, use, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the Town
of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE
OP HORSE SHOES;" in which said Letters Patent is contained a proviso, that
I, the said Charles Black, shall cause a particular description of the nature
of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be inrolled in Her said Majesty's High Court of Chancery, within six calendar
months next and immediately after the date of the said in part recited Letters
Patent, as in and by the same, reference being thereunto had, will more fully
and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Charles Black, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention, and

page_text: the manner in which the same is to be performed, are fully described and
ascertained in and by the following statement thereof (that is to say) :-
The Invention consists of manufacturing horse shoes in such manner that
they shall, when made, consist of iron which has been converted into steel by
the aid of electric currents. And in order that the Invention may be most
fully understood and readily carried into effect, I will proceed to describe the
means pursued by me.
I first manufacture horse shoes by forming them of iron suitable for being
converted into steel, and having formed the shoes I proceed to convert them
into steel by the aid of electric currents, and in doing so I employ the process
described in Dr. Arthur Wall's Specification to his patent for "Improvements
in the manufacture of steel," and which is now well understood; and in itself
this process of conversion of iron into steel is not claimed by me, but only its
application when manufacturing horse shoes, to which manufacture it is
particularly applicable. Or, in place of first forming shoes of iron and then
converting them into steel by the aid of electric currents, I sometimes use the
bars of iron which have been converted by such process, and make shoes
therefrom.
In witness whereof, I, the said Charles Black, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Fifteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and forty-five.
Enrolled the Fifteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord One thou-

PARLOUR, of Park Road, Holloway, in the County of Middlesex, Gentleman,.
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Royal Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date
at Westminster, the Twentieth day of November, in the ninth year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me,

what manner the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in Her said
Majesty's High Court of Chancery within six calendar months next and imme-

the same, reference being thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Samuel Parlour, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention,
and the manner in which the same is to be performed, are particularly

page_text: described and ascertained in and by the following statement thereof, reference
being had to the Drawing hereunto annexed, that is to say :-
My Invention consists of an improved construction of propeller, which is
formed by taking a hollow cone of sufficient thickness, and cutting it through
the vertex at right angles to the plane of its base, so that the two parts may
be equal; these are affixed to arms, as represented in the Drawing, and these
arms are affixed to a boss, which boss has a hole through it for the purpose of
securing it to the shaft. The number of half cones forming the propeller
may vary. The angle also of the vertex of the conc may vary, but the most
satisfactory results have hitherto been obtained by taking a half cone whose
angle at the plane of the base was thirty-two degrees. By extending the
surface of the half conc, a greater propelling surface is obtained.
I do not confine myself to the details here given; but I claim the applying
part of the surface of a cone, or any approximation to that surface, when used
for the purpose of propulsion.
In witness whereof, I, the said Samuel Parlour, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twentieth day of May, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and forty-six.
