Improvements in the Manufacture of Bricks and Tiles applicable for
Paving Roadways, Streets, or the like.
We, JAMES DUCKETT and ALFRED DUCKETT, of Mitre Sanitary Works,
Burnley, in the County of Lancaster, Brick and Sanitary Pipe Manufacturers, 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:—
This invention is designed to readily distinguish vitrified bricks or tiles used for
paving from those not vitrified which has hitherto been impossible to ascertain
without damaging the brick owing to the outer surface or "skin" often bearing a
similar appearance to those fully vitrified. The latter have a glazed appearance
throughout, are impervious to moisture, are more durable than unvitrified bricks,
and are a good substitute for wood or granite pavement for carriage roads and the
like.
The principal objection to the use of bricks for paving has hitherto been the
uncertainty of determining whether they are vitrified or not, and no dependence
can be placed on the durability of a pavement unless each brick is vitrified.
In making bricks in accordance with this invention, we use clay which vitrifies
without warping. Two or more of such bricks are formed together in a mould or
otherwise, and may be divided or partially separated from each other by a suitable
cutting instrument, or they may be so separated or divided by the mould or press.
These blocks of partly severed clay are then placed in the kiln and burnt, after
which they are broken at the incision, so that one side at least of each brick is
divested of its "skin," exposing to view the nature of the interior of the brick, so
as to determine whether it is vitrified or not.
The cutting surrounding and partly separating the bricks in the block may be
V shaped, so that when the bricks are finally separated, they will have a bevelled
or splayed edge at the severed end or side. The severed part of each brick being
rougher than other parts is preferably placed uppermost to form the surface of the
pavement.
We would also observe that curbs, copings and the like may be manufactured in
a similar manner, so as to insure durability.
We also use the vitrified bricks as above described in combination with wood
paving blocks. These bricks and wood blocks are laid preferably in alternate lines
across the street, or in any other way desired, so that the traffic along the road
may bear alternately on the two substances-wood and brick.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is :-
The manufacture and use of paving bricks and tiles, substantially as described
for the purposes specified.

Improvements in Wind Engines.
I, JAMES BLYTH, Professor of Natural Philosophy, Anderson's College, in the
City of Glasgow, 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 :---
This invention relates to a simple form of wind engine that will be acted upon
by all winds, independently of their direction, and which shall be capable of
running in high winds or gales, without attaining too high a speed for practical
purposes.
The improved wind engine which is shown in outline perspective at Figure 1 and
in part plan at Figure 2, of the accompanying drawings comprises a vertical shaft A
carried in bearings in a suitable framing B and provided with gearing as C for
transmitting the power of the engine. Upon the shaft A are mounted a number of
projecting arms D on each of which is rigidly secured a hollow semi-cylinder E
having closed ends.
These are so placed that as the arms revolve the hollow faces of the seini-
cylinders shall be all in the same direction.
The engine rotates by the action of the wind being much greater on the concave
faces of the semi-cylinders than on the convex faces of the semi-cylinders at the
opposite ends of the arms.
By this construction the speed of the engine in high winds will reach a terminal
value i.e., will not race even when the working load is removed, and the use of
devices such as are required in ordinary windmills for bringing the vanes into the
wind or throwing them out of action is entirely avoided.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A wind engine composed of a rotating shaft having arms fitted with semi-
cylinders, acted on by the wind substantially as described.

Making Coloured Stucco, Coloured Concrete Blocks, and Tiles.
I, DANIEL WARD of Hewton, in the Parish of Beerferris, in the County of
Devon, Land Agent and Surveyor; do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The making of coloured stucco, coloured concrete blocks and tiles, by mixing
colours with cement or lime (i.e. stuccoine) which when mixed with sand or rubble
and water and allowed to dry will form a hard coloured substance and giving a
permanent colour to whatever the material is used for, as the colour permeates the
whole substance it will last as long as the substance lasts.
For instance a wall being stuccoed with coloured stucco the colour will last as
long as the stucco, whereas if it were coloured with wash or paint the colour soon
wears off by exposure to the weather. The same will apply to concrete blocks.
If the blocks are made of coloured concrete the colour will last as long as the blocks.
There is the advantage also that the stucco or concrete may be coloured any
colour either to imitate stone, or to suit the taste of the user.

Making Coloured Stucco, Coloured Concrete Blocks, and Tiles.
I, DANIEL WARD, of Hewton in the Parish of Beerferris, in the County of
Devon, Land Agent and Surveyor, 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 mixing together of colours with cement or lime, sand or rubble with water
will form stucco, concrete blocks or tiles of a permanent colour, as the colour will
permeate the coloured mixture and when dry and hard will be imperishable. The
coloured stucco put on the walls of building in the shape of plaster will give
the walls a pleasant appearance, as by mixing any of the colours commonly used
Such shade of stucco
for making paint, with the cement, lime, or sand and water.
can be obtained as may be required. For making tiles or concrete blocks, the
chosen colour should be mixed with the cement or lime, sand or rubble and water,
well mixed and put into a mould and taken out when dry, the effect would be a
block of hard concrete of the form as moulded, and of the colour desired.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
1. That the mixing of colours with the cement or lime, sand or rubble and water
for making coloured stucco, coloured concrete blocks or tiles, is the novelty
claimed.
2. It is a great improvement on all former methods of making stucco or concrete
as such a shade of colour can be obtained as will imitate, and will be very much
cheaper, cut stone, bricks, or terra cotta, and looks quite as well.

I, LOUIS MÜLLER, Tinman, of Wernigerode in the Kingdom of Prussia and
German Empire 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 :-
To the arrangements for food receptacles in cages as at present known there is
this objection that upon the removal of the receptacle there is a risk of the animal
escaping.
Now the object of the present invention is to remove this objection.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure I shows a front view of the improved device with the food pan pushed
into the cage and with the grid hereafter described in its raised position.
Figures II and III are side views of the apparatus when the pan or receptacle
is inside and outside of the cage respectively.
Figure IV is a plan of the arrangement shown in Figure III and
Figure V is a sectional elevation through line X-X in Figure III.
રી.
Referring to the drawings a represents a grid or row of hollow metal bars sliding
up and down upon the fixed or solid bars h, ba rod which is hinged at one end to
the sliding base e, to which the food receptacle d is attached, and at the other end
to the grid. The separate bars in the grid are joined by a stay or cross piece k.
To the base which may be of any desired shape is attached a guide along
which the sliding base c carrying the food receptacle can be slid into the cage.
On the pushing of the food receptacle into the cage the grid is raised by reason
of its connection with the slide through the rod b. By pulling out this receptacle
again the grid descends and closes the aperture.
"
The bars of the sliding grid a are tubular or hollow and are moved up or down
upon the bars of the cage by means of the rod on the pushing in or drawing

RUDOLF HERMAN JAHR, Engineer, both of Opladen, Germany.]
Improvements in Electrodes for Secondary Batteries.
I, HUGH DONALD FITZPATRICK, of 70 Wellington Street, Glasgow, Registered
Patent Agent, 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:
Electrode-plates, as hitherto used for secondary batteries or electric collectors,
have two drawbacks, vic. They have either too much lead in proportion to the
active substance on them, and to their capacity, which renders the accumulator too
heavy for a certain capacity and too expensive, or they have too little lead, being
made of a sheet, which is too light and thin; the result of which is that the accumu-
lator, by losing "tension," becomes less useful and more expensive, as the active
substance, and especially the peroxide of lead of the positive plate or plates,
possesses a great electric resistence.
The present invention is designed to avoid these drawbacks by constructing an
electrode of a grating or recessed plate, which carries the active substance and is
formed with or connected to a common base or support. The active substance,
which is supported on the grate, is so arranged that it projects out from it.
The improved plate is shown on the annexed drawing, where :-
Fig. 1 is a front view, and,
Fig. 2 a section of the plate.
In order to afford as large an amount of active substance as possible in proportion
to the lead, the active substance a is made to stand out of or project from the lead-
body of the new electrode-plate (Fig. 2).
In order to afford as good a conduction of the current as possible, the dividing
bars or ribs b, for holding the active substauce, are fixed to or made in one with a
mutual or backing plate c.
The body, b, c, holding the active substance, is, preferably, cast in a single piece.
The sides of the recessed holes or spaces, which serve as receptacles for the active
substance, are bevelled dove-tail-wise, as shown, so that when the active substance
is put into them, it cannot fall out of place.
The holes may be of any suitable conformation, such as quadrangular, multi-
angular or round.
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 :-
An electrode-plate for electric collectors, made substantially as hereinbefore
described with reference to the drawings annexed.

of the bars is prevented, when stoking is being performed.
The longitudinal bars e are supported by the bearers d d, and the transverse
bars e are, in a similar manner, supported by longitudinal bearers.
In order to assist and facilitate the entrance of air to the transverse bars e¹,
gills ff are added, which conduct thin streams of air to the bars, and complete the
combustion of the fuel.

G is a thumb-screw screwed in the slide O.
The brace F, slide O, strip E, and bracket A may be made of hard wood or metal.
To use my improved support the receiver D is placed in the socket B. The
bracket is adjusted to a height as suits the ear of the listener and is made fast by
the thumb-screw G. The bracket A, being double-hinged, allows the bracket to
swing to the right or left, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 4, and the operator,
after adjusting the receiver D, has the free use of his hands and can listen without
the usual fatigue as when holding the receiver by the hand. The support may be
placed on either side of the telephone, as may be desired.
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 :
In a telephone-receiver support, the combination of brace F, dovetail slide O,
adjusting screw G, double-hinged strip E and bracket A, having the socket B,
substantially as described.

We, ARTHUR BASIL HARRISON 9 Goswell Road London E.C. Gentleman and
CHARLES NAPIER RICKINSON 57 Compton Road Highbury N. Gentleman 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 :-
This invention consists in arranging & subdividing the folio or pages of a book
and numbering the outside edges of the pages or folio in each division and by
which means a desired folio or page say for example 300 can be readily found
which is done by opening the third division of the book when the numbers corre-
sponding to the pages up to 400 will be exposed to view and so on. To illustrate
my invention more clearly we will for example take an ordinary account book
containing 500 pages folio. I divide the book into a convenient number of divisions
say for example 100 pages in each division. These divisions are separated or
marked by a protruding piece or marker and the first division is numbered
from 1 to 100 down the side by cutting away the pages as in an ordinary lettered
address book.
The second division of 100 pages is similarly cut and numbered from 101 to 200,
and so on. It will be seen that by subdividing the book in the manner set forth,
any number of pages may be numbered according to the length of the page and
being divided into divisions of 100 pages or more, the intermediate numbers between
the divisions may be readily found by being numbered down the edges of the pages
as aforesaid.
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 improved method of numbering books by subdividing the book into a
convenient number of divisions or sections, and each division being separately
marked and containing a prearranged number of pages or folios, numbered upon
their edges, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

the surface of the metal or paint work to be cleaned by the aid of a wet cloth or
sponge, and rubbed on till the dirt or stains are removed. After which, all traces
of the compound should be carefully washed off with clean water, as it must not be
allowed to remain too long on the paint or metal work to which it is applied.

An Improvement in Aim Correctors.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Aim Correctors.
I, RICHARD MORRIS of Bennett Park, Blackheath in the County of Kent,
Engineer, 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 relates to the instrument known as an aim corrector which is fixed
on a rifle and has in it a plate of glass set at an angle so that while the marksman
aims through the glass, an instructor standing at the side can see by the reflection
in the glass whether the aim is correct or not.
My invention has for its object to simplify the construction of the aim corrector,
and to facilitate its fixing on the rifle or its removal therefrom, as I shall describe
with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a front view, Fig. 2 is a side view and Fig. 3 is a plan of an aim corrector
according to my invention.
A strip of steel A is slit near one of its edges so as partly to separate from it a
narrow slip B which remains straight while the rest of the strip is bent to Ụ form
with the ends of its limbs at C turned a little inwards and bent into nearly circular
loops. On the slip B is fitted to slide up or down the frame D which holds the
glass plate E set at an angle of about 45° to the axial line of the U. The width F
between the ends C C being made somewhat less than the width of that part of the
rifle on which the aim corrector has to be fixed, the corrector has to be sprung on
to its place, where it is held firmly by the elasticity of the steel. The strength of
the U clip is however such that it can be readily pushed on to or taken off from
the rifle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the saine is to be performed, I claim.
An aim corrector having its frame made of a strip of steel bent to U form
so as to operate as an elastic clip holding the corrector in place substantially
as described.
