tained a proviso, that that the same should be void unless 1, the said William
Broughton, should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same was to be performed, by an instru-
ment in writing under my hand and seal, and cause the same to be inrolled
in the High Court of Chancery within two calendar months next and imme-
diately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
'
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said William Broughton, in pursuance of
the said proviso in the said Letters Patent, do hereby describe and ascertain
the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed (that is to say):-
The yarns for the warp to be made of flax or hemp in the usual way
of making yarns, to be millwashed and backwashed, and no more starch to
be used than is sufficient to allow the warp to be worked through the hiddles
or harness and reed; the weft to be made of worsted yarn, from wool made
in the usual way of making yarns. The wool before it is made into worsted
is to be washed with soap, and backwashed in clear water, and when in
yarn to be scowered and stoved. These yarns are to be wove in the usual
way of weaving canvass, but the weft to come off the pern or quill double,
and when in cloth to be singed either on one side or both, if required, by
running it over a singeing apparatus smilar to those used in the manufacture of
cotton, or in any other way that may be thought proper, so that the fibres of
the wool may be burnt off, to cause the surface of the cloth to be smooth. The
cloth then to be passed through a heavy calendar, on which a brush is to be
fixed, for the purpose of taking off all the dust that may have been left from
the singeing, or the cloth may be wove by working the weft off the pern or
quill single.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Broughton, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, the Twenty-ninth day of March, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and thirteen.
W BROUGHTON. (L.S.)
