PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
Improvements in Clothing Material for Surgical and other Purposes.
I, JOHN HARRINGTON HAYWOOD of Castle Gate, in the Borough of Nottingham,
Manufacturer of Surgical appliances, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to the material of which articles of clothing which are formed
for the sake of warmth of two or more thicknesses of woven material between
which is placed wool or other suitable material may be made and it has for its
object the improved construction of such material whereby it may be made lighter
and may also allow the air to pass through it.
In carrying out this invention I place natural wool or other suitable material of a
suitable thickness between two or more thicknesses of lace net or open work fabric
formed in any well known manner and material; this combination of material is then
formed into articles of clothing and may be quilted or the thicknesses of net may be
secured together by threads passing through at intervals in a well known manner.
By this means I obtain a material specially adapted for sanitary and surgical
purposes on account of its lightness, warmth, and ventilating properties.
Dated this 22nd day of August 1888.

Improvements in Clothing Material for Surgical and other Purposes.
I JOHN HARRINGTON HAYWOOD of Castle Gaie in the Borough of Nottingham,
manufacturer of surgical appliances, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to the material of which articles of clothing, for surgical and
other purposes, may be made, and it has for its object the improved construction of
such material whereby it may be made lighter and will also allow the air to pass
through it.
In carrying out this invention I place natural wool or other suitable material of a
suitable thickness between two or more thicknesses of lace net or open work fabric
formed in any well known manner and material; this combination of materials I then
form into articles of clothing, or may be used for surgical or other purposes. If
preferred it may be quilted or the inner material may be held in position by connecting
the two outer open work materials together by threads passing through at intervals in
a well known manner.
By this means I obtain an exceedingly light and durable material specially adapted
for the manufacture of articles of clothing, sanitary, and surgical purposes on account
of its lightness, warmth, and ventilating properties.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The production of material for making articles of clothing handwas and the lik^
