WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her

of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, in the thirty-
second year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give
and grant unto me, the said Sankey Gardner, Her special licence that
I, the said Sankey Gardner, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or
such others as I, the said Sankey Gardner, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to
time, and at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed,
should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and
Isle of Man, an Invention for "A NEW OR IMPROVED ANNEALING POT
AND STAND," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said
Sankey Gardner, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in
writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should par-
ticularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and
in what manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same
to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months
next and immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Sankey Gardner, do hereby declare
the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement thereof, reference being had to the accompaying
Drawings, that is to say :-
My Invention consists in the construction and employment of
annealing pots and stands of a corrugated form. In some cases the

page_text: sides only are corrugated, but in other cases the top of the pot as well.
as the sides are corrugated. The corrugations vary in size and number
according to the dimensions of the pot and stand. The pots and stands
are made in the ordinary way by running molten metal into sand
moulds.
Figure 1 of the accompanying Drawings is a perspective view of an
annealing pot of a corrugated form, and accordingly constructed
according to my Invention; Figure 2 is a horizontal section of the
same; Figure 3 is a view of the corrugated stand employed in com-
bination with the annealing pot; and Figure 4 is a view of the pot and
stand complete. The corrugations may vary in size; for example, the
larger sizes of pots will be more closely corrugated than the smaller, and
vice versa.
And having now described the nature of my said Invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that I claim the
construction and employment of annealing pots and stands of a cor-
rugated shape or form, as herein-before described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Sankey Gardner, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Second day of February, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine.
