We, PETER CROOK of the firm of Peter Crook "Limited," Robin Hood Mills,
Cotton Spinner, and GEORGE FIRTH, Manager, both of Bolton in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in apparatus employed in mules for spinning
and is designed for the purpose of maintaining the tension of the rim band to prevent
slip, dispense with the inconvenience of unequal twist in the yarn being spun, and
minimise the loss from breakage of bands and other parts relating thereto, which wo
accomplish by mounting the pullies employed for guiding the bands on the main rim
band pulley on suitable centres attached to vibrating levers pivotted on centres secured
to the headstock of the mule by suitable fixings or their equivalents.
The vibrating levers are constructed with tongues or other equivalents to allow the
guide pullies to rise and fall a certain distance-according to the slack occasioned by
the reversing motion of the mule-without being thrown out of action with the rim
bands, at the same time maintaining sufficient tension on the rim bands to ensure the
correct working of the same.

I WILLIAM ROBERT LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co, Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature
of my invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
This invention is a process for the extraction of pure metallic aluminium, from
both the chloride of that metal and the double chloride of aluminium and sodium.
It involves the fusion of the chloride of aluminium in presence of sodium chloride,
with zinc, with which the metallic aluminium forms an alloy, and then the refusion
of this alloy with a further addition of chloride, whereby the alloy is made richer
in aluminium; and, finally, the treatment of the alloy with suitable fluxes, whereby
the aluminium becomes separated.
Said process is carried into practical effect, as follows:--
To one pound of chloride of aluminium is added one pound of chloride of sodium.
These ingredients are melted together. After melting, zinc is added in granulated
form, and heat is again applied to reduce the whole to a thin fluid mass. The
metallic zinc combines with the aluminium and goes to the bottom of the crucible.
This zinc may contain fifty per cent of aluminium.
The zinc-aluminium alloy is poured off, and to it is added a quantity of double
chloride of aluminium and sodium, the double chloride being placed at the bottom
of the crucible and the alloy above. The whole is then re-fused, and to the same is
added one thirty second of an ounce of magnesium, in pure state or in alloy. The
mass may then contain at the end of the melting, say one third zinc and two
thirds, aluminium.
The operation may be repeated and the alloy rendered still richer if desired-
In repeating, the magnesium is again added in the above noted proportion.
Finally the alloy is melted with a suitable flux, such as a mixture of one half

page_text: muriate of potassium and one half chloride of sodium. This is placed above the
zinc. The result is the removal of the zinc and the production of pure aluminium
in the crucible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent I declare that what I claim is ;-
The process of extracting metallic aluminium, substantially as hereinbefore set
forth.

We, FREDERICK MADELEY, of Ox Hill, Handsworth in the County of Stafford,
Merchant, and ALBERT. OLDHAM, of 126 Heathfield Road, Handsworth, aforesaid,
Brassfounder, do hereby declare the nature of said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
In the specification of a former Patent granted to us under date the first day of
January 1885 N° 29, there is described a process of manufacturing brass coated
steel tubes, the object being to dispense with the separate external brass tubes
theretofore ordinarily employed with open jointed iron tubes to form casings
thereon. Now, our present invention relates to the manufacture by a similar
process of steel tubes coated with copper or nickel. For this purpose, a tube of
steel, brazed, welded or solid drawn, is polished to obtain a smooth cylindrical
surface; to which end it may be treated in a machine such as described in the
specification of Letters Patent N° 13950, dated 21 October 1884.
The tube so prepared is treated by the aid of electricity so as to produce upon it
a cyanide deposit of copper, care being taken to exclude the liquid in the bath from
the interior of the tube; or, instead of a deposit of copper there may be substituted
a base of suitable material such as tin. The tube is afterwards treated in a
sulphate of copper bath for the purpose of increasing the thickness of the copper
deposit, or of depositing copper upon the tin or other base, (as the case may be) to
complete the coating to the required thickness; or, if the final coating is to be of
nickel, then the tube is further treated in a bath containing sulphate of nicked to
complete the process of deposition of metal. In some instances the use of the
sulphate bath may be dispensed with, where only a thin covering of copper is
required, with or without nickel.
The polishing is effected by hand rubbing with list and rotten stone or by an
automatic machine containing revolving bobs of those or other similar materials;
and, finally, in the case of copper coated tubes, the work is finished by lacquering
in the ordinary manner, but the lacquering is dispensed with when the tubes are
nickel coated. Tubes of the kind known as twisted or ornamental tubes may be
coated with copper or nickel according to this invention.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. The hereinabove described manufacture of copper coated tubes.
2. The hereinabove described manufacture of nickel coated tubes.

Chloroform is soluble in water to the extent of 1 part in 141 parts of the latter. A
larger proportion can therefore not be dissolved, but only suspended in that
menstruum.
In order to carry out our invention we use Saponine, in any proportion, but pre-
ferably, 2 grains of Saponine for each fluid ounce of Chloroform to be emulsified, which
we place in a bottle with 1 ounce of water, and shake, when the emulsion is at once
formed. After allowing the mixture to stand, the Chloroform will subside in minute
globules, leaving the water with the Saponine in solution, which may be poured off,
when the remaining Chloroform will mix with water in any proportion.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said Invention
& in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is:
1. The use of Saponine in any form, for the purpose of emulsifying Chloroform.
2. Pouring off the water from emulsified Chloroform, thus producing a miscible
Chloroform.

The object of the projection B is for the look D to press against so that when the
latter is passed through the eye in the Pole Ring it does not readily slip out. I also
purpose making them with the projection A only as per drawing No. 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
1st. Having the projection A to prevent the hook slipping out of the curtain, & to
support same.
2nd. Having the projection B to prevent it slipping out of the eye in the Pole
Ring.

I, GEORGE EDWARDS Managing Director of The Railway Signal Company
(Limited) of Fazakerley, Liverpool in the County of Lancaster do hereby declare
the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
My Invention has for its object to provide simple and efficient means for
preserving true the gauge of the rails of railways. Instead of depending for this
entirely upon the spikes which hold the chairs to the sleepers, I provide a pro-
jection and recess or projections and recesses on and in the chairs and sleepers
which projections and recesses engage with each other and are so disposed as to
secure the chairs against transverse displacement.
The plan which I prefer is to cast a projection on the underside of the chair
parallel with the rail seating and to make for each chair a corresponding recess in
the sleeper.

Improvements in Chairs and Sleepers for the Permanent Way
of Railroads.
I GEORGE EDWARDS Managing Director of the Railway Signal Company
(Limited) of Fazakerley, Liverpool in the County of Lancaster 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 :-
My Invention has for its object to provide simple and efficient means for pre-
serving true the gauge of the rails of railways-Instead of depending for this
entirely upon the spikes which hold the chairs to the sleepers I provide a projection
and recess or projections and recesses on and in the chairs and sleepers which
projections and recesses engage with each other and are so disposed as to secure
the chairs against transverse displacement.
The plan which I prefer is illustrated by the transverse section shewn on the
accompanying drawing where A is the sleeper B the chair and the rail.
On the underside of the chair is cast a projection 6 preferably parallel with the
rail seating and in the sleeper I make a corresponding recess a to receive the said
projection 6 as shewn.
It will be evident that there may be more than one projection and recess and
that they may be arranged in any suitable position relatively to each other and to
the line of rails. The projections may extend the full width of the chair or they
may be of lesser or greater extent. It will also be evident that the projection or
projections may be on the sleeper and the recess or recesses in the chair.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare' that what
I claim is =
Railway chairs and sleepers with a projection or projections on the one engaging
in a recess or recesses in the other substantially as herein before described.

Packing and other Cases.
I ROBERT GROOM of 49 Bartholomew Close in the City of London Packing Case
Maker do hereby declare that I am in possession of an invention for AN IMPROVED
FASTENER AND METHOD OF SECURING THE PARTS OF PACKING AND OTHER CASES and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object an improved fastener and method of securing the
parts of packing and other cases and consists of a new method by which the angle
pieces or other parts, or hoop bands are secured to the case.
I punch a pair of holes advantageously transversely to the band and instead of
securing the same by nails I form from wire a staple of a
shape which
passes through the side of the case and is afterwards turned over thereby effecting a
very safe, firm, and simple fastening.
In the accompanying drawings I have shown my improvements in perspective.
Fig. 1 A represents an angle piece for the corners of packing or other cases which
are secured to the case C by the staple B as shown in the sectional view Fig. 2 which
shows the ends bent over.
I would have it understood that these ends may or may not be pointed and may be
clenched in any convenient way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The method and means for securing packing and other cases substantially as shown
and described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

We, WILLIAM STEVENS SQUIRE of Clarendon House St. Johns Wood Park
London N.W. chemical engineer and STANLEY CHARLES CUTHBERT CURRIE of 75
Jermyn Street London S.W., electrical engineer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in obtaining metallic zinc from its ores by electrolysis of the
alkaline solution of the oxide. In order to accomplish this, the ore is first purified,
as far as possible, by dressing, and is then roasted, if necessary, to convert it into
oxide. It is then treated with solution of caustic potash or soda in order to dissolve
the oxide of zinc. Into this solution a current of electricity is passed, using mercury
as the cathode, and carbon or iron, or other metal of which the oxide is insoluble in
caustic alkali, as the anode. Under these circumstances, the zinc is deposited as an
amalgam of zinc and mercury. From this amalgam the mercury is afterwards
distilled off for subsequent use, and the zinc is obtained in the metallic form.

page_text: I, GEORGE HOWARD, of 25 Berners Street, London, W. Cabinet maker 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 my invention is the production of permanent decorative
ornamentation on wood at a low cost.
The decorative ornamentation produced. according to my invention may consist
of a pattern in the natural color of the wood on a colored ground, or of a colored
pattern on a ground of a different color.
To produce a pattern in the natural color of the wood on a colored ground, I take
a piece of wood which has been carefully smoothed and the surface polished or
varnished. By means of the sand blast process I produce any desired pattern in
relief on the wood.
In this way the design of the most delicate piece of lace may be reproduced on
wood.
The surface of the portions of the wood cut into by the sand blast, that is to
say, the portions of the wood not covered by the outline of the pattern, makes an
excellent key for holding any adhesive filling. I next fill the interstices between
the pattern with any suitable adhesive stopping, which has previously been mixed
with and colored by pigment of the color and shado of which it is desired the
ground shall consist. The interstices are thus filled to the original level of the
wood. The whole surface, showing the pattern in the natural color of the wood, on
a ground the color of the filling, may then be polished to a perfectly even surface
if desired.
To produce a colored pattern on a ground of a different color or shade, I dye
the surface of the wood of the color in which I desire the pattern to be previous
to polishing or varnishing it at the beginning of my process as above described.
The color of the ground, as before stated, being that of the filling used.
I do not claim the several individual steps or processes used in decorating wood
according to my invention.*

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The method, substantially as above described, of decorating wood by producing
thereon a pattern of one color or shade on a ground of another color or shade.
