Complete Specification Left, 8th May, 1891-Accepted, 13th June, 1891
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Moving Steel Ingots, Slabs, or
Blooms in connection with Cogging and Rolling Mills.
I WALTER NEILSON of Clydebridge Steel Works, Cambuslang, in the County
of Lanark Steel Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to apparatus for moving steel (or it might be iron) ingots,
slabs bloom or like pieces of metal so as to bring such pieces into any required
position during the operations of cogging and rolling.
The object is to provide simple, durable, and efficient apparatus easily managed
and not liable to get out of order.
Apparatus under my invention consists essentially in the combination of two or
more fixed hydraulic cylinders and their accessories with a travelling carriage
fitted with carrying and turning lever or equivalent appliances. The cylinders and
their accessories are used, one to give motion to the carriage and the other to the
turning appliances and the requisite motions of the carriage and turning appliances
are controlled by means of valves which regulate the flow of liquid under pressure
to and from the said cylinders.

Improvements in Apparatus for Moving Steel Ingots, Slabs, or
Blooms in connection with Cogging and Rolling Mills.
I WALTER NEILSON of Clydebridge Steel Works, Cambuslang in the County
of Lanark Steel Manufacturer 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 apparatus for moving steel (or it might be iron) ingots,
slabs, blooms; or like pieces of metal so as to bring such pieces into any required
position during the operations of cogging and rolling.
The object is to provide simple, durable, and efficient apparatus easily managed
and not liable to get out of order.

more fixed hydraulic cylinders and their accessories with a travelling carriage
fitted with carrying and turning lever or equivalent appliances. The cylinders and
their accessories are used one to give motion to the carriage and the other to the
turning appliances and the requisite motions of the carriage and turning appliances
are controlled by means of valves which regulate the flow of liquid under pressure

Water is admitted to each
cylinder by an ordinary slide or other valve. When both valves of one pair of
cylinders are open together the carriage and tilting arm travel together and their
relative positions remain unchanged. When the valves are operated so that either
piston moves separately or at different speeds the tilting arms are turned up or
down as required, and may be made to seize, move, and tilt an ingot in any
required way.
Fig. 3 is an end view of a modification of apparatus where one carriage only is
used the tilting arms ff' are both pivotted to the said carriage and each is provided
with its own operating cylinders i, or, ¿ª¹.
It will be obvious that the carriages cylinders, and valves may be constructed
combined and arranged in many ways without departing from my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
I claim is
The combination of hydraulic cylinders, travelling carriage or carriages and
turning appliances substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
Dated the 7th day of May 1891.
