NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Samuel Harrison, do hereby declare
the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be

statement, that is to say:-
My Invention of improvements in chop broilers and meat roasters relates to
the class of chop broilers and meat roasters which are usually constructed of
sheet or cast iron, and are heated by the flame of incandescent carburetted
hydrogen gas. My Invention consists of an iron frame having a lid or cover,
so as to reserve the heat or vapours arising from the flame of the gas, and the
frame is made to rest on four legs or feet, two grooves being attached to the
legs or feet to receive a pan or tray made to receive the fat or gravy issuing
from the meat or any article cooking.
The inner part of my Invention consists of a main or feeding tubing having
more or less tubings connected thereto; the tubings having more or less gas

page_text: burners or jets fixed therein, and supply tap as may be required. I have an
iron convex shell having more or less points fixed horizontally to an iron frame
or grating over each gas burner or jet, for the purpose of conducting the fat
of the gas burner or jet, and also for the destroying of the smoke or soot
arising from the flame of the
gas.
The interior of my Invention may be applied to baking or heating
apartments.
Having now described my Invention of improvements in chop broilers or
meat roasters, and having explained the manner of carrying the same into
effect, I claim as the Invention secured to me by Letters Patent as aforesaid,
the mode herein described of constructing and arranging chop broilers and
meat roasters to be heated by gas.
In witness whereof, I, the said Samuel Harrison, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Fourth day of February, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty.
SAMUEL DARRISON. (L.S.)
