Improvements in Rotary Washing Machines.
We, W. WILLIAMSON AND CO. LIMITED, of Milborne Works, Milborne Street,
Well Street, Hackney, in the City and County of London, Engineers, & EDWARD
WILLIAMSON & CLAUD HAMMERTON, Engineers, of the same address, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
The construction and fitting to the inner cylinder of a rotary washing machine,
a perforated partition, perforated with either round, square, or other shaped
holes, and set parallel with or at given angles to, the ends of the said inner
cylinder.
We make this partition of either brass, copper, iron or other suitable material
and perforate it either over the entire surface or partially, with either large or
small perforations as may best suit, and be most efficient in the washing of the
particular class of goods that the machine will be required to cleanse.
We also construct the partition where desirable of round, square or other shaped
bars or tubes or of any other material or in any other way that will permit of a
circulation of the fluid used from one compartment to the other of an inner
cylinder so fitted.
The partition is situated in the inner cylinder either centrally from the ends or
otherwise as may be desired to gain the proper result.

page_text: formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The construction and fitting to the inner cylinder of a rotary washing machine
a perforated partition, with either round, square or other shaped holes and set
parallel with, or at a given angle to, the ends of the said inner cylinder. We
make this partition of brass, copper, iron or other suitable material and perforate
it either over the entire surface or partially, with either large or small perfora-
tions, as may best suit and be most efficient in, the washing of the particular
class of goods that the machine will be required to cleanse.
We also construct the partition where desirable, of round, square or other
shaped bars or tubes, either perforated or otherwise or of any other materials and
in any other way, that will render a partition being made, that will permit of a
circulation of the fluid used from one compartment to the other of an inner
cylinder, so fitted.
The partition is situated in the inner cylinder centrally from the ends or other-
wise, as may be desired, to gain the proper result.
Fig. 1, is an elevation of such partition when made out of sheet metal and per-
forated with circular holes.
Fig. 2, is a section on A, B, through same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
venuon, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. The construction of a centre partition through which fluid may be cir-
culated; in the manner herein described and specified.
2. The adaptation of the said partition to the inner cylinder of a rotary
washing machine; as herein described and specified.
Dated this Eleventh day of February 1899.
