PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Steam Trawling Gear.
We THOMAS SUDRON, Engineer, and ALFRED SUDRON, Engineer, both of
9 Castle Street, Hull in the County of York, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows :—
The object of this invention is to construct a "dandy score" for steam trawlers
and the like which shall save the dandy bridle warp or rope from wearing or
fraying, and thus effect a great saving in such warps or ropes.
To attain this object we employ a radial plate which is bolted or otherwise
fastened on to the taffrail at the stern of steam trawlers or the like; also to this
radial plate we fix a swivel bracket by a bolt or the like which passes through the
said bracket, and through a hole in the radial plate, and thence through the taffrail
where a nut is screwed down tight to hold it fast. To the swivel bracket we attach
vertical pulley by the aforesaid bolt, the bracket having jaws, between which we
affix a second pulley placed in a horizontal position, both pulleys or rollers running
loose.
The swivel bracket runs smoothly on the radial plate, but may have rollers or
lugs attached for it to run on.
The action is as follows:-When hauling in the net at the stern of steam trawlers
or the like, the dandy bridle warp or rope passes round the vertical roller and over
the top of the horizontal roller, the swivel bracket moving to any position where
the strain is greatest, and always conforming itself so that the warp or rope is
always on the roller, by this means effectually preventing the damaging and fraying
of the bridle warps or ropes and thus effecting a great saving in such warps or
ropes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Steam Trawling Gear.
We, THOMAS SUDRON, Engineer, and ALFRED SUDRON, Engineer, both of
9 Castle Street, Hull in the County of York, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to construct a "dandy score " for steam trawlers
and the like, which shall save the dandy bridle warp or rope from wearing or
fraying, and thus effect a great saving in such warps or ropes.

page_text: said bracket B, and through a hole in the said radial plate, and thence through
the taffrail, where a nut is screwed down tight to hold it fast.
We employ a vertical pulley C working on the aforesaid bolt B', the swivel
bracket has jaws C', between which we affix a second pulley D, placed in a
horizontal position, both pulleys or rollers running loose.
The swivel bracket runs smoothly on the radial plate, but may have rollers or
lugs attached for it to run on. A stay E may be employed to give greater security
and rigidity to the bolt or the like B₁, and to hold it more firmly in position.
The action is as follows:-When hauling in the net at the stern of steam trawlers
or the like the dandy bridle warp or rope passes round the vertical roller C, and
over the top of the horizontal roller D, the swivel bracket B moving to any position
where the strain is greatest and always conforming itself so that the warp or rope
is always on the roller, by this means effectually preventing the damaging and
fraying of bridle warps or ropes and thus effecting a great saving in such warps or
ropes.
This invention is also applicable to steam-ships or any other kind of vessel, and
may be made either single or double.
When made double two vertical pulleys are employed a short distance apart and
the swivel bracket is made with the jaws even instead of being cast on one side as
shown at Fig. 2, the swivel bracket and the aforesaid pulley each working on a
separate boss.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
In connection with steam trawling gear, the use of the radial plate A, with boss
or bosses B' attached, upon which revolves swivel bracket or carrier B, such
bracket having one or more sets of jaws C, between which works a pulley D, also
vertical pulley or pulleys C, working on spindle or bolt B¹, or on separate spindles,
with or without stay E, as and for the purposes shown and described.
