PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Construction or Arrangement of Weighing Machine with
Weight Fixed thereto, and Moveable on a Fixed Frame for Coal
Delivering Trollies.
We, HERBERT WILLIAM DUNLOP, Coal Merchant, of Oxford Street, ALFRED
STAPLEY, Coal Merchant, of 35 Amety Street, and ROBERT TURNER, Scale Maker, of
49 Friar Street, all in Reading, Berks, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of this invention, is a novel construction or arrangement of a fixed
frame and a moveable weighing machine, having a fixed weight for use with coal
trollies, from which coal in certain fixed quantities is sold to purchasers and weighed
at the time of delivery.
For the purpose of this invention, we arrange a weighing machine proper, or
such as is carried by coal carts, wagons, or trollies, with a fixed weight for a given
quantity of coal. This machine with a fixed weight is supported on rails and is
capable of being withdrawn from under a trolly to enable the sack of coal to
be weighed in the presence of a purchaser.
The frame on which machine is moveable has a couple of arched or other shaped
head bars which bear against the middle or centre rail of the trolly's under
framing. The machine frame at the lower part rides upon rails suspended by straps
to the under frame of the trolly and by cross bars and a stop on the moveable
frame, the distance to which the coal weighing machine can be drawn out, can be
limited.
The fixed frame is of skeleton form and the side rails serve as guides and as
a support for the weighing machine when pulled out as well as when pushed in.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Construction or Arrangement of Weighing Machine with
Weight Fixed thereto, and Movable, on a Fixed Frame for Coal
Delivering Trollies.
We, HERBERT WILLIAM DUNLOP, Coal Merchant, of Oxford Street, ALFRED
STAPLEY, Coal Mercbant, of 35 Amety Street, and ROBERT TURNER, Scale Maker,.
of 49 Friar Street, all in Reading, Berks, 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 a novel construction or arrangement of a fixed
frame and of a movable weighing machine having a fixed weight for use with coal
trollies, from which coal in certain fixed quantities is sold to Purchasers and weighed
at the time of delivery.
For the purpose of this invention, see Figures 1 and 2 of the annexed drawings,
we arrange a weighing machine A such as is carried by Coal Carts, Wagons, or
Trollies B, (part of which only is shown) with a fixed weight (for a given
quantity of coal. This machine with a fixed weight C is attached to rails D, D,
capable of being withdrawn on other rails E fixed under a trolly B to enable the
sack or basket of coal to be weighed in the presence of a Purchaser.

page_text: The frame E on which machine A is movable has a couple of arched, or other
shaped head bars F, F, which bear. against the middle, or centre rail of the trolly's
under framing.
G, G, G, are suspension straps attached to the under frame of the trolly and the
positions of the two forward ones permit of stops H, H, on the movable frame
rails D, D, to limit the movement of the scale when pulled out as in dotted lines, as
well as when pushed in.
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
1. The arrangement of rigid frame E, G, and the movable frame D, F, H, under a
coal delivery vehicle B and having a weighing machine A affixed, with fixed weight C,
as shown on the annexed drawings for the purpose set forth.
2. In combination with the apparatus above claimed, the employment of a
weight C fixed and corresponding with the filled contents of sacks or baskets, as and
for the purposes set forth.
