I, JOHN KING of No. 2 Frances Terrace Vauxhall Grove Hessle Road
Kingston upon Hull in the County of York Assistant Storekeeper 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:-

Seven ounces.
Seven eighths of a gill.
Half a pint.
One eighth of a gill.
One and a half ounces.
To prepare the liquid polish I provide three enamelled bowls of sufficient size
I place in bowl No. 1 half an ounce of castile soap cut up small and add sufficient
turpentine to dissolve the same-being about one third of the quantity of turpentine
required for the complete mixture-the bowl is then placed in an oven and subjected
to heat until the soap is melted and the mixture has become a jelly. The bowl is
then removed from the oven a little more turpentine added to thin the contents the
mixture thoroughly stirred and the bowl returned to the oven for three or four
minutes. I then place in bowl No. 2 seven ounces of rotten stone, one ounce of
flour emery powder and about one third of the quantity of paraffine oil required for
the complete mixture, the contents of bowl No. 2 are then thoroughly stirred and
the contents of bowl No. 1 added thereto and after the mixture has been again well
stirred bowl No. 2 containing same is placed in the oven for three or four minutes,
after which it is again removed and one eighth of a gill of methylated spirit added
to the mixture which is then returned to the oven for about two minutes during
which time it is continuously stirred it is then again removed from the oven and
the remainder of the turpentine and paraffine gradually added while stirring until
the whole is thoroughly mixed.
I next place in bowl No. 3 half an ounce of silversmiths rouge to which I add
sufficient of the contents of bowl No. to enable me to mix same by stirring to
such a consistence that it can be readily poured after which the contents of
bowl No. 3 are added to those of bowl No. 2 and returned to the oven for two or
three minutes. I then put into bowl No. 3 half an ounce of lamp black to which I
add sufficient of the contents of bowl No. 2 to enable me to mix same by stirring
to such a consistence that it can be readily poured the contents of bowl No. 3 are
then added to those of bowl No. 2 and after stirring same until thoroughly
combined the mixture is again placed in the oven and permitted to remain for two
or three minutes after which it is finally removed and allowed to cool.
I then place in bowl No. 3 one and a half ounces of cream of tartar add thereto
a little of the cooled mixture from bowl No. 2, and after well stirring, the contents
of bowl No. 3 are added to those of No. 2 the whole thoroughly mixed and the
resulting combination forms the liquid polish.
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 liquid polish consisting of the above named ingredients in or about the
proportions stated.
