and Edward Blasini Jackson, do hereby declare the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement
(that is to say):—
This Invention relates to manufacturing bosses for flax spinning
machinery so that the wear and tear caused by the friction of their
surfaces on the parts of such machinery with which they come in contact
will be considerably diminished.
The composition that we use for this purpose consists of from 60 to
80 per cent. of india-rubber and 30 to 50 per cent. of pure golden
sulphuret of antimony, which we mix together into a paste, and then
submit the bosses made of this paste to a process of vulcanization by
the ordinary methods.
Any other proportions of the above-named ingredients may be used
according to requirement.
Having thus described the nature and particulars of our Invention we
claim, the application of pure golden sulphuret of antimony mixed
with india-rubber for the manufacture of bosses for flax spinning
machinery.
In witness whereof, we, said George Richard Vevers Loughton
and Edward Blasini Jackson, have hereunto set our hands and
seals, this Twenty-first day of January, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine.
