page_text: LETTERS PATENT to John Frazer, of 5, Arthur Street, Park Hill
Road, Liverpool, and Louis Simon and Richard Simon, Manu-
facturers of Printers' Materials, Hutchinson Street, Wilford Road,
Nottingham, for the Invention of "AN IMPROVED MACHINE FOR CUTTING
AND SCORING PASTEBOARD AND SIMILAR MATERIALS ONE OR SEVERAL TIMES AT
ONE OPERATION."
Sealed the 23rd November 1869, and dated the 28th May 1869.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said John Frazer, Louis
Simon, and Richard Simon at the Office of the Commissioners of

WC, JOHN FRAZER, of 5, Arthur Street, Park Hill Road, Liverpool, and
LOUIS SIMON and RICHARD SIMON, Manufacturers of Printers' Materials,
Hutchinson Street, Wilford Road, Nottingham, do hereby declare the
nature of the said Invention for "AN IMPROVED MACHINE FOR CUTTING AND
SCORING PASTEBOARD AND SIMILAR MATERIALS ONE OR SEVERAL TIMES AT ONE
OPERATION," to be as follows:-
This Invention consists of a machine for cutting or partially cutting
(scoring) pasteboard and such like material, the cuts being multiplied

page_text: according to the number of circular knives placed at the required
distances apart upon two cylinders, between which the pasteboard or like
material is to be passed. The circular knives are placed between discs of
wood (or other suitable material) and of various thicknesses, the discs
when placed together with the circular knives between them forming the
two cylinders which are fixed in a suitable frame, and actuated or turned
by any suitable power; and to more fully explain my Invention reference
is made to the accompanying Drawings.
Figs. 1 and 2 show two views of the machine.
A, A, the framework or stand; B, B, the lower cylinder with discs of
various thicknesses, hetween which are placed the circular knivos b, b, b, b;
C, C, the upper cylinder, being similarly arranged, tho knives in cach
caso projecting beyond the circumference of the discs, so as to effect the
cutting or scoring; D, D, the screws for adjusting the cylinders so that
the material to be operated upon may be out quite through or only
partially so (scored) as required; E, E, the small hand wheels for
adjusting the screws; F, F, cog wheels which turn the cylinders; G, the
ordinary wheel for a band for imparting motion to the machine, and this
may be done by any suitable power.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Putent, 2
filed by the said John Frazer, Louis Simon, and Richard Simon in

WHEREAS Hor most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Twenty-eighth day of May, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine, in the thirty-
second year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Hor heirs and successors, 3
give and grant unto us, the said John Frazer, Louis Simon, and Richard
Simon, Her special licence that we, the said John Frazer, Louis Simon,
and Richard Simon, our executors, administrators, and assigns, or such
others as we, the said John Frazer, Louis Simon, and Richard Simon,

page_text: our executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree
with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during
the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use,
exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "AN
IMPROVED MACHINE FOR CUTTING AND SCORING PASTEBOARD AND SIMILAR MATERIALS
ONE OR SEVERAL TIMES AT ONE OPERATION," upon the condition (amongst
others) that we, the said John Frazer, Louis Simon, and Richard Simon,
our executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under our,
or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and
ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what mannor the same
was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal
Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after the
date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that we, the said Louis Simon and Richard Simon,
on behalf of ourselves and the said John Frazer, do hereby declare the
nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement and accompanying Drawings (that is to say) :-
This Invention consists of a machine for cutting or partially cutting
(scoring) pasteboard and such like material, the cuts being multiplied
according to the number of circular knives placed at the required
distances apart upon two or more cylinders, over which the pasteboard
or like material is to be passed. The circular knives are placed between
discs of wood (or other suitable material), and of various thicknesses.
The discs when placed together with the circular knives between them
forming the two cylinders, which are fixed in a suitable frame and
actuated or turned by any suitable power; and to more fully explain my
Invention reference is made to the accompanying Drawings.
Figs. 1 and 2 shew two views of the machine.
A, A, the framework or stand; B, B, the lower cylinder with discs of
various thicknesses, between which are placed the circular knives b, b, b, b;
C, C, the upper cylinder, being similarly arranged, the knives in cach
case projecting beyond the circumference of the discs, so as to effect the
cutting or scoring; D, D, the screws for adjusting the cylinders so that
the material to be operated upon may be cut quite through or only
partially so (scored) as required; E, E, the small hand wheels for
adjusting the screws; F, F, cog wheels which turn the cylinders; G, the

page_text: ordinary wheel for a band for imparting motion to the machine, and this
may be done by any suitable power.
We also reverse the arrangement of the machine by having the cutting
and scoring knives or discs on the upper shaft, and the other discs on the
lower one.
Having thus described the nature and object of our said Invention, wo
declare that what we claim is, the combination of circular knives for
cutting and scoring pasteboard and similar materials, as herein-before
described and shewn on Drawings, or any mere modification thereof.
In witness whereof, we the said Louis Simon and Richard Simon,
on behalf of ourselves and the said John Frazer, have hereunto set
our hands and seals, this Twenty-seventh day of November, in
the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine.
LOUIS SIMON.
