page_text: SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said William Garnett Taylor in the Great Seal. Patent Office on
the 10th November 1858:
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM
GARNETT TAYLOR, of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in the County of Leicester, Gentleman,
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Tenth day of May, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, in the twenty-first year of Her reign,
did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the
said William Garnett Taylor, Her special licence that I, the said William
Garnett Taylor, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as
I, the said William Garnett Taylor, my executors, administrators, and assigns,
should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all
times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might
make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN COVERING THE ROLLERS EMPLOYED IN SPINNING COTTON AND
OTHER FIBROUS MATERIALS," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said
William Garnett Taylor, my executors or administrators, by an instrument
in writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should
particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in
what manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed
in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and imme-
diately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said William Garnett Taylor, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement thereof, that is to say:-
This Invention relates to the covering of the rollers to be used in spinning
machinery with a leather made from rabbit or hare skin, or such like similar
skins of small dimensions and fine surface; in lieu of the ordinary sheep and
lamb leather heretofore used for such purposes.
In order to explain my said Invention as completely as possible, I now
proceed to describe the best means I am acquainted with for carrying the
same into practical effect as follows:-
It being found desirable to have leather of a finer grain or texture than
that made from sheep and lamb skins, as applied to the rollers of spinning

page_text: machinery, I have found in practice a substitute in lieu thereof, and from
which good and effectual results are to be obtained, the same being leather
made from rabbit or hare skins, or other similar skins of the same or smaller
dimensions, most of which will be found to be fine grained and smooth
surfaced.
Having now fully described and set forth the nature and object of my said
Invention of "Improvements in Covering the Rollers employed in Spinning
Cotton and other Fibrous Materials," together with the best means I am
acquainted with for carrying the same into practical effect, I would remark,
in conclusion, that I do not confine myself to the particular kinds of skins
herein mentioned; but what I claim as my Invention intended to be secured
to me by the said in part recited Letters Patent is, the covering of rollers
with leather made from rabbit or hare skins, or other such like similar skins of
the same or smaller dimensions, for the purpose herein described.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Garnett Taylor, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Tenth day of November, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight.
W. G. TAYLOR. (L.S.)
