NEW INVENTED MACHINE FOR THE PURPOSE OF MIXING MORE READILY AND INTIMATELY MEAL OR.

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM
JONES, of the City of Bristol, Millwright and Engineer, do send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain; bearing date at
Westminster, the Eighth day of May, in the thirty-eighth year of His
reign, did give and grant unto me, the said William Jones, my executors,
administrators, and assigns, His special licence that I, the said William Jones,
my executors, administrators, and assigns, during the term of years therein
expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within
England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my "NEW INVENTED
MACHINE FOR THE PURPOSE OF MIXING MORE READILY AND INTIMATELY MEAL OR.
OTHER SUBSTANCES WITH FLUIDS, WHEREBY THE ESSENCE OF THE MALT OR OTHER
SUBSTANCES (INTENDED TO BE ACTED UPON BY WATER OR OTHER FLUIDS), WILL
BE MORE PERFECTLY AND EXPEDITIOUSLY EXTRACTED THAN BY ANY OTHER METHOD
HITHERTO INVENTED;" in which Letters Patent there is contained a proviso,
obliging me, the said William Jones, under my hand and seal, to cause a
particular description of the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of
Chancery within one calendar month next and immediately after the date of
the said recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same, relation being thereunto
had, may more fully and at large appear..

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
William Jones, do hereby describe and ascertain the nature and principle of
my Invention as follows, that is to say:
My Invention consists in such a construction of machinery to be fixed to, in,
or about any mixing or mashing vat or tub, as on being put in motion by the
application of any power to be derived from water, wind, steam, animals, or
otherwise, shall occasion the malt, meal, water, or other ingredients in the tub
or vat to mix intimately together, and so to change their relative situations as
to cause the essence of the malt, meal, or other substances intended to be acted
on by water or other fluids, to be more perfectly and expeditiously extracted
than by any other method hitherto invented, which machinery is delineated and
described in the above Plan, that is to say,-
.
A, B, C, D, represents a section of a tub or vat in which the operation is to
be performed, to, in, about, or over which such framework is to be fixed as
shall be sufficient to support and secure the several spindles, wheels, and other
machinery herein-after described, that is to say, E, F, is an upright spindle of
iron, wood, or other materials, to which is strongly secured a frame G, H, and
also the bevel wheel M, which spindle rests and turns on a centre socket in
the bottom of the vat or tub at F, and in a collar at E. I, K, is an horisontal
spindle, turning in collars secured to the framework, on which are fixed the
bevel wheels Land N, on the rotation of which horizontal spindle the wheel
I communicates motion to the wheel M, together with the upright spindle to
which it is fixed, whilst the wheel N puts in motion the wheels O and P, which
are fixed together upon a hollow box or spindle, which is fitted to and turns
upon a round part of the upright spindle E, F. At the same time the wheel
P turns the wheel Q, which is fixed on a spindle turning in a frame G, H, and
which last-mentioned spindle is continued down into the tub or vat (into which
the materials to be washed are put) having at certain distances vanes of iron
or other substances fixed round it, at such angles with each other, and such
inclination or dip, that when the last-mentioned spindle revolves, the said vanes
or knives shall take in the whole, or nearly the whole, of the space within the
sweep or extent. And as the whole of the said frame of vanes or knives is
carried, round the tub or vat in the time in which a certain number of its own
revolutions are accomplished, the whole of the materials to be mashed or
mixed are in turn divided and blended together, and, by the inclination of the
vanes or knives, are raised from the bottom to the top in one part of the tub or
vat, whilst a 'contrary motion takes place in another part of the tub or vat; in
which kind of planetary motion in the said machine, I hereby declare the

page_text: excellence of my said Invention principally to consist by whatever machinery
t may be accomplished.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Jones, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, the Twenty-sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord
One thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight.
AND BE IT REMEMBERED, that on the same Twenty-sixth day of
May, in the year above mentioned, the aforesaid William Jones came before
our Lord the King in His Chancery, and acknowledged the Specifica-
tion aforesaid, and all and every thing therein contained, in form above
written. And also the Specification aforesaid was stamped according to the
tenor of the Statute in that case made and provided.
Inrolled the Thirty-first day of May, in the year above written.
