PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION..
A Machine or Auxiliary Engine for Increasing Power without
Diminishing Motion or Speed.
ALFRED COPLEY, of 6, Sturgeon Road, Walworth, Surrey, Mechanician, ALBERT
GEORGE RANDALL, of 124, Hillingdon Street, Walworth, aforesaid, Mechanician,
and CHARLES EDWARD BALLS, of 400, Munton Road, Walworth, aforesaid,
Mechanician, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
A machine or auxilliary engine to be manufactured of metal for increasing power
without diminishing motion or speed and thus economising space and fuel-when
applied to any other description of machinery whether moving as a whole or
stationary with its parts moving whether locomotive motor marine or any other
description of engine or machinery. Our invention consists of levers, a screw
(with one or more male or female threads) rack and pinion, wedges and a block
on rollers, sliding pieces, lifting jaws and a single double or treble throw crank
as required. We claim that our invention may be worked either by electricity
gas steam oil water wind or manuel power. We claim as the novelty of our
invention a machine or auxilliary engine manufactured of metal for increasing
power without diminishing motion or speed and the economisation of fuel and
space. The size of our machine necessarily varies with the power of the machinery
to which it is to be applied.
Our invention consists of a roller with spiral grooves, working in bearings at
each end. There is a block on rollers or wheels at each side. The block works
wedges the wedges work a crank and the roller is worked by rack and two levers.
Dated this 10th day of December 1898.

A Machine or Auxiliary Engine for Increasing Power without
Diminishing Motion or Speed.
We, ALFRED COPLEY, of 6, Sturgeon Road, Walworth, in the County of Surrey,
ALBERT GEORGE RANDALL, of 124, Hillingdon Street, Walworth, aforesaid, and
CHARLES EDWARD BALLS, of 400, Munton Road, Walworth, aforesaid, all
Mechanical Engineers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
Price S/1

page_text: what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is, as its name implies, an auxiliary power to be
applied to machinery or mechanical appliances. When such machinery or
mechanical appliances are set in motion our invention can be worked either
upwards or downwards-backwards or forwards or rotary, as may be desired, or
it can be worked by electricity, wind, water, steam or manuel power.-We claim
that by the application of our invention to substantially increase the power of
any kind of machinery or mechanical appliance to which it is applied without
thereby diminishing motion or speed, or creating friction.
Our invention consists of for horizontal or vertical movement-A-a screw
with 1-2-3 or more grooves. B, a block.--C, a pinion. D), a rack. Ea
support for rack. F, F, rollers or wheels attached to block (B). G, G, connect-
ing rods. H, connection on crank (I).-I, a crank, J, J, levers.-For rotary
movement: A, a screw, as before described. B, a block.-c, rollers or wheels.
d a driving wheel.-e, a bolt or screw.-f, a plug.
The working of our invention is as follows:-By movement of the levers (J, J)
motion is imparted to the rack (D) which working on the pinion (C) turns the
screw (A) and thus moves the block (B) upwards or downwards as desired, on the
rollers or wheels (F, F) pushing the connecting rods (G, G) and turning the
crank (I).
As will be seen by the foregoing we also claim to produce similar results by
rotary motion.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is: :-
The production of extra or auxilliary power by the above described engine.
