PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION,
Improvements in Carbonizing Wool, Rags, and the like.
We, GEORGE TOLSON, Wool Extractor, Prospect House, Dewsbury, and JOHN
ILLINGWORTH, Flock Manufacturer, White Lee, Batley, do hereby declare the nature
of our invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN CARBONIZING WOOL, RAGS,. AND THE LIKE," to
be as follows:
This invention has reference to a prior Patent granted to G. and J. E. Tolson, on
the 24th of November 1882 No. 5591 and also to John Illingworth on the 5th of June
1883 No. 2796.
The invention comprising such Patents consists of a horizontal cylinder or tank
caused to rotate continuously. Our present invention consists in causing the said
cylinder to have an oscillatory rotary motion, so as to prevent the rags contained in
such cylinder from rolling en masse by which means the carbonizing gases are
enabled to penetrate the fibres better than when rolling bodily within the cylinder.

We, GEORGE TOLSON Wool Extractor, Prospect House, Dewsbury and JOHN
ILLINGWORTH, Flock Manufacturer, Whitelee, Batley 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 has reference to a prior Patent granted to G. and E. Tolson on the
24th of November 1882, No. 5591, and also to John Illingworth on the 5th of June
1883 No. 2796.
The invention comprising such Patents consists of a horizontal cylinder or tank
caused to rotate continuously. Our present invention consists in causing the
said cylinder to have an oscillatory rotary motion, so as to prevent the rags contained
in such cylinder from rolling "en masse," by which means the carbonizing gases are
enabled to penetrate the fibres better than when rolling bodily within the cylinder.
The means for giving an oscillatory rotary motion to the cylinder may consist of any
well-known mechanism employed for giving a similar motion to other descriptions of
machines or parts of machines; or the means for and method of imparting the requisite
oscillatory motion may be the same as is shewn and described in our application for
Patent No. 13497, Dated the 22nd day of November 1886.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is:
The use and employment of an oscillatory rotary cage or cylinder working hori-
zontally in a machine employed for carbonizing fabrics or fibres so that the said fabrics
are more effectually agitated within such cage or cylinder.
