WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His

Westminster, the Twenty-first day of December, in the thirty-third year of His
reign, did give and grant unto me, the said Stanley Howard, my executors,

NO COMPLEX MACHINERY IS REQUIRED FOR SUPPLYING THE BOILER WITH WATER TO
REPLACE THE QUANTITY EXPENDED BY EVAPORATION (THE BOILER BEING CONSTANTLY
SUPPLIED DURING THE EVAPORATION WITHOUT THE AID OF A CISTERN), OR FOR ANY
PUMP; AND WHICH MACHINE MAY BE FIXED UP AT A SMALL EXPENCE, WITHOUT ANY
INJURY TO THE HOUSE OR ALTERATION OF THE CHIMNEY, AND WHEN ONCE FIXED
REQUIRES NO REPAIR; AND SUCH MACHINE HATH NEVER BEFORE BEEN DISCOVERED;"
in which said Letters Patent is contained a proviso, obliging me, the said
Stanley Howard, particularly to describe and ascertain the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, by an instrument
in writing under my hand and seal, and to cause the same to be inrolled in His

page_text: Majesty's High Court of Chancery within one calendar month next and
immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent, as by the said Letters
Patent, reference being thereunto had, may more fully appear.
NOW KNOW YEE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Stanley Howard, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention, and
in what manner the same is to be performed, is particularly described and
ascertained in the above Plan or Drawing, and in the explanation or descrip-
tion of such Plan or Drawing above written and referring thereto.
In witness whereof, I, the said Stanley Howard, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Seventeenth day of January, in the year of our
Land One thousand saven hundred and ninety-three
A DESCRIPTION OF THE FOREGOING PLAN OR DRAWING.
The steam boiler and cooking vessels being made in the usual
way, such
boiler is to be supplied with water by a fountain reservoir, marked A, which is
.to be placed at a convenient distance therefrom, with its discharging tube,
marked B, inverted in a cistern or pipe, marked C, in which cistern or pipe
the surface of the water will by means of the fountain be preserved always at
one height, marked D; and by a communication, marked E, from the said
cistern or pipe with the steam boiler, marked F; the water therein during the
evaporation, will be preserved at a height corresponding with such cistern or
pipe, and always at the same level, marked G. By means of the said fountain,
the necessity of cocks and pipes or pumps for supplying the boiler is removed,
and the supply rendered more immediate, more certain; and more simple
than by any method heretofore used. The said fountain may be made of any
materials or in any form suited for the purpose.
AND BE IT REMEMBERED, that on the same Seventeenth day of January,
in the year above mentioned, the aforesaid Stanley Howard came before our
Lord the King in His Chancery, and acknowledged the Specification afore-
said, 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 Eighteenth day of December, in the year above written.
