"MAKING BAW IRON, OR IRON, METALL PREPARED FROM IRONSTONE OR ORE, IN AIR FURNACES, WITH PIT COAL, AND BY THE ADDITIONALL FLUXES, AND THE NEW METHOD THEREIN THEN PRACTISED BY ME
Year: 1736

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, KINGSMILL
EYBE, Esquire, send greeting.
WHEREAS our Soveraign Lord George the Second, by the grace of God
King of Great Britain, &c., hath, by His Letters Patent under His Great Scal
of Great Britain, bearing date at Westminster, the Twentieth day of March, in
the ninth year of His raigne, given and granted unto me, the said Kingsmill
Eyre, my executors, administrators, and assigns, His especiall licence, full
power, sole priviledge and authority, to make, use, exercise, and vend my new
Invention of "MAKING BAW IRON, OR IRON, METALL PREPARED FROM IRONSTONE
OR ORE, IN AIR FURNACES, WITH PIT COAL, AND BY THE ADDITIONALL FLUXES,
AND THE NEW METHOD THEREIN THEN PRACTISED BY ME," to have, hold,
exercise, and enjoy the said licence, powers, priviledges and authorities, unto
me, the said Kingsmill Eyre, my executors, administrators, and assigns, for and
during the term of fourteen years from the date thereof, according to the
Statute in such case made and provided; in which said Letters Patent there is
contained a proviso that if I, the said Kingsmill Eyre, should not particularly
describe the nature and form of my said Invention, by an instrument in writing
under my hand and seal, and cause the same to be inrolled in the High Court
of Chancery within three kalendar months next and immediately after the
date of the said Letters Patent, that then the said Letters Patent should be
void, as in and by the said recited Letters Patent (relation being thereunto
had) may more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Kingsmill Eyre, pursuant to the said
proviso, have described and ascertained, and by these Presents-do describe and

page_text: ascertain, the naturo and form of my said Invention to consist in manner
following (that is to say):-
The ironstone or ore being calcined, and the coal charked, are pulverized and
mixed together and put into an air furnace, with the additionall fluxes of lime
and the ashes of fern, which thins the slagg, and causes a ready separation of
the metall when it begins to come into the nature of iron. There is then
added, according to the quality of the ironstone or ore melted, whether red,
short, or cold short, or the sort of iron to be produced, a certain small quantity
of old rusty iron, called scraps, or bushel iron, or nut iron, or hammer slough,
whereby more metal is extracted out of the oar than it yields without
that addition. It expedites the operation in the furnace, saves fuel, and
meliorates the iron, bringing it to a greater degree of fineness and softness
than usuall.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Eighth
day of June, in the ninth year of His said Majestic's reign, and in the 1
year of our Lord Christ 1786.
