page_text: We JOSEPH WINTER of Farnworth in the County of Lancaster Spinner and
Manufacturer and THOMAS IVERS of the same place Mill Manager the above
named Patentees seek loave to amend the specification of Letters Patont, No. 3855
of 1880, as shown in red ink in the copy of the original specification hereunto
annexed.
Our reasons for making this amendment are as follows:-
1. Tho invention the subject of this application consists of certain improvements
in the manufacture of cord cloths effected by a peculiar method of weaving and
during the course of an action which we have commenced in the Manchester District
of the Chancery of the County Palatine of Lancaster viz: Winter v. Baybut 1883
Letter W. No 3829 in respect of alleged infringements of the above named Patent
it has come to our knowledge that the process described in the said Specification
and illustrated in figures 1. 2. 7 and 8 in the drawings thereto, annexed has been
anticipated and we have therefore been advised and are desirous of disclaiming our
said patent so far as relates to the said process so described and illustrated but so
far only.
2. On the 25th day of March last an Order was made in the said action by the
Vice Chancellor of the said County Palatine of Lancaster being the Judge of the
said Court of Chancery that (inter alia) we should be at liberty to apply under
the Patents Designs and Trademarks Act 1883 at the Patent Office for leave to
amend our said Specification by way of Disclaimer by omitting the references to
and claims in respect of the arrangements shown in the said figures numbered 1.
2. 7. and 8 in the said Specification or otherwise as we might be advised an Office
Copy of which Order is hereto annexed.

- JOSEPH WINTER, of Farnworth, in the County of Lancaster, Spinner and
Manufacturer, and THOMAS IVERS, of the same Place, Mill Manager. "IMPROVE-.
MENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF COTTON CLOTHS KNOWN AS COTTON CORDS.”
Our Invention consists in making eight shaft cords with-a-calico-and-ribbed-
back combined, and also with a rib and satteen-twill-back-combined_for_raising_
purposes, which we effect by a peculiar method of weaving.
Wo intersect the warp threads with the weft threads more frequently than has
hitherto been done; for instance, when' tho weft threads have formerly intersected
the warp six times to each pick in the draught or gait over we cause them to
intersect the warp threads eight times and twelve times.
We also use the same number of intersections with twenty four ends to the
draught or gait over, as wo do with twolve ends to the draught or gait over; or
other number of ends may be used and a similar result produced.
By the use of our improvements we obtain a firmer, stronger, and better bound
cloth than the old double jean, or twill back cord, and we produce a more curly or
cockled appearance in a cloth with loss weight than by the old method.
