PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Slabs for the Beds of Billiard
Tables and other purposes, Steps and Blocks for Building and
other purposes, Pillars, Columns, Posts, Poles, Chimney Pots,
Pipes or Tubes, Baths, Sinks, Tanks, Buckets, Casks, Drums or
Barrels, and other hollow articles and vessels.
I, DAVID WILSON, of Brading, Isle of Wight, Cement Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to my invention I manufacture slabs for the beds of billiard tables
and other purposes steps and blocks for building and other purposes pillars columns
posts poles chimney pots pipes or tubes baths sinks tanks buckets casks drums
or barrels and other hollow articles and vessels by coating suitably formed metal
frames or cores with or embedding such frames or cores in a cement or concrete
consisting of Portland cement and crushed or powdered slate mixed together in
equal or other suitable proportions and brought to a convenient consistence by
addition thereto of water or a solution of silicate of soda or silicate of potash.
Where I use water alone in the preparation of the cement or concrete I in some
cases soak the article when finished in a solution of one or other of the said
silicates.
The frames or cores may be formed of wire netting or of bars or rods of metal
arranged in suitable positions relatively to each other and rivetted together or
interlaced or interwoven or otherwise connected or merely placed in the required
relative positions. Or the said frames or cores may be made of metal in other forms
and in any convenient manner.

page_text: formed to be particularly, described and ascertained in and by the following state-
ment:-
According to my invention I manufacture slabs for the beds of billiard tables
and other purposes steps and blocks for building and other purposes pillars columns
posts poles chimney pots pipes or tubes baths sinks tanks buckets casks drums
or barrels and other hollow articles and vessels by coating suitably formed metal
frames or cores with or embedding such frames or cores in a cement or concrete
consisting of Portland cement and crushed or powdered slate mixed together in
equal or other suitable proportions the mixture of the said materials being brought
to a convenient consistence immediately prior to use by addition thereto of water
or a solution of silicate of soda or silicate of potash. Where I use water alone for
bringing the cement or concrete to the required consistence I in some cases soak
the article when finished in a solution of one or other of the said silicates.
The frames or cores may be formed of wire netting or of bars or rods of metal
arranged in suitable positions relatively to each other and rivetted together or
interlaced or interwoven or otherwise connected or merely placed in the required
relative positions. Or the said frames or cores may be made of metal in other forms
and in any convenient manner.
A silicate solution consisting of one pound weight of silicate of soda or silicate of
potash per gallon of water is suitable for use as hereinbefore described.
In manufacturing according to my invention the articles hereinbefore named
and referred to I prefer to proceed as desc in the Specification of Letters
Patent granted to me and respectively numbered and dated 5990 A.D. 1885 .and
2517 A.D. 1887 with the exception that instead of coating the metal frames or
cores with or embedding them in Portland cement or concrete of the kind described
in the Specification of the former of the said Letters Patent I coat the said frames
or cores with or embed them in the improved cement or concrete hereinbefore
described viz. a mixture of Portland cement and crushed or powdered slate. The
said articles may however be manufactured by otherwise coating metal frames or
cores with or embedding them in the cement or concrete herein before described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
-
The manufacture of the articles 'hereinbefore named and referred to by coating
suitably formed metal frames or cores with or embedding them in- a cement or con-
crete consisting of a mixture of Portland cement and crushed or ground slate
brought to a suitable consistence by addition of water or a solution of silicate of
soda or silicate of potash.
