PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Railway Milk Churns.
I, THOMAS GRAYSON of 41 King Street, Derby in the County of Derby,
Coppersmith and Brazier do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide a railway milk churn which shall resist
the hard usage of railway transit so as to prevent the indentation of the sides
thereof in order that the gauge of the contents of the churn may not be affected
by such indentation of the sides.
In carrying out my invention I form my improved churn so as to have raised.
corrugations formed in the thickness of the metal at convenient places and distances
apart on the churn and running either round the circumference of the said churn or
parallel with the length thereof. The bottom of the churn may also have the said
corrugations run round if desired and they may either be single or double but will
be of such form as to allow of the churns being easily cleaned and may be formed
by means of a "swaging" machine or other suitable means.
Deted this 8th day of April 1892.
