Improvements in the Application of Various Inflammable Fluids and
Substances to all kinds of Materials Requiring High Temperatures
in their Manufacture.
I, ROBERT STONE, of 101 Leadenhall Street, in the City of London, Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to manufacture various kinds of plastic and other
materials in an improved manner, such as bricks, lime, gypsum, tiles, pottery, cement,
glass, and all other substances requiring a high temperature, by utilising in their
manufacture various fluids, chemical substances and other matters, in order to produce
such high temperatures; and which high temperatures greatly improve the character of
the manufactured articles.
My invention consists in using, either together or separately, petroleum spirit,
petroleum, vitriol, tar, or any other highly inflammable liquid, in the manufactures
above mentioned, as substitutes for ordinary fuel such as coals or coke.
I sometimes mix therewith fibrous material, such as peat, saw dust, tow, hemp, old
rope, refuse cotton waste, and any other material of a like nature which will readily
absorb the liquid fuels above mentioned.
I sometimes also use the aforesaid liquid fuels in the form of spray.
I also use such fuel in combination with the hot or cold blast.
A material advantage in the use of such liquid fuel is obtained, in consequence of
the intimate commingling of the liquid fuel with the materials operated upon, whereby
the materials are rendered more perfectly homogeneous and free from faults than by
any other method.
By the use of my invention almost all kinds of refuse may be manufactured into
useful material; and dust, coal dust, breeze, cinders, ashes, clinkers, sewage, night
soil, and other materials. In using these materials the liquid fuel enters into
combination with the inflammable atoms intermixed with, or contained in, the
materials to be operated upon, and thereby increases the heat and economises fuel.

I ROBERT STONE of 101 Leadenhall Street in the City of London Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The object of my invention is to manufacture various kinds of plastic and other
materials in an improved manner such as bricks, lime, gypsum, tiles pottery, cement,
glass and all other substances requiring a high temperature, by utilising in their
manufacture various fluids chemical substances and other matters in order to produce
such high temperatures; and which high temperatures greatly improve the character
of the manufactured articles.
My invention consists in using either together or separately, petroleum spirit,
petroleum, tar, or any other highly inflammable liquid and vitriol, in the manufactures
above mentioned as substitutes for ordinary fuel such as coals or coke.
I sometimes mix therewith fibrous material, such as peat, saw dust, tow, hemp, old
rope, refuse cotton waste, and any other material of like nature which will readily
absorb the liquid fuels above mentioned.
I sometimes also use the aforesaid liquid fuels in the form of spray, thrown upon
the incandescent mass.
I also use such fuel in combination with the hot or cold blast.
A material advantage in the use of such liquid fuel is obtained, in consequence of
the intimate commingling of the liquid fuel with the materials operated upon, whereby
the materials are made hard and rendered more perfectly homogeneous and free
from faults than by any other method.
.The proportions of the several ingredients forming the mixtures are necessarily
very much varied to suit the character and analysis of the materials to be operated
upon. But I find
advantageous, in practice, in using petroleum, without vitriol, to
use 12 gallons (more or less) to each ton of material. And when using vitriol
without petroleum, to use a similar quantity, viz.: 12 gallons of vitriol (more or less)
to each ton of material. When using both liquids, petroleum and vitriol, I use
6 gallons of each (more or less) as additions to other ordinary fuel.
By the use of my invention almost all kinds of refuse may be manufactured into
useful material, and dust, coal dust, breeze cinders, ashes, clinkers, sewage, night soil,

page_text: and other materials either ground, compressed into blocks or bricketts may be thus
utilised.
In using these materials the liquid fuel enters into combination with the inflammable
atoms intermixed with or contained in, the materials to be operated upon and thereby
increases the heat and economises fuel.
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 my claim is :-
The use and application of inflammable fluids and substances such as hereinbefore
described to all kinds of materials requiring high temperatures in their manufacture
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
