WILLIAM AYSON DRUMMOND 166 Perth Road Dundee Scotland formerly Flax
Spinner not in business at present do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
To increase the steam producing, power producing, or force producing, capacity
of steam engine boilers, and all other kinds of steam, heat or power producing
vessels Including culinary or kitchen cooking heating or steaming vessels-All
vessels where any sort of action is required that is obtained by the application of
external heat, by covering the parts of such steam producing, heat producing, or
power producing boilers, or other vessels-which are subjected to the flame, heat
or combustion, with studs, spikes, knobs, or other similar protuberances, such as
can be produced by pitting scoring or grooving the heat exposed surface of steam
producing and power producing vessels-Also by introducing rods which may
extend from side to side of flues tubes and other boiler furnishings The number
in proportion to surface area, length, diameter, and arrangement, of such studs,
spikes, rods, and other projections or protuberances, to be such as is found to be
most convenient or effective for the variously placed steam heat or power producing
boilers or other vessels.
In general it will be found that the steaming or heat producing effect will be
greatest, the longer and the more numerous the protuberances are in proportion to
surface area.

WILLIAM AYSON DRUMMOND 166 Perth Road Dundee Scotland formerly Flax
Spinner not at present in business I do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for GENERATING STEAM, FORCE, POWER, OR ENERGY and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
-
To increase the steam producing, power producing, or force producing, capacity
of steam engine boilers, and all other kinds of steam, heat, or power producing
vessels Including culinary or kitchen cooking heating or steaming vessels all
vessels where any sort of action is required, that is obtained by the application of
xternal heat, by covering the parts of such steam producing, heat producing, or
power producing boilers or other vessels, which are subjected to the flame heat or
combustion, with studs, spikes, knobs, or other similar protuberances such as can
be produced by pitting scoring or grooving the heat exposed surface of steam
producing and power producing vessels-Also by introducing rods which may
extend from side to side of flues tubes and other boiler furnishings-The number
in proportion to surface area, length, diameter, and arrangement of such studs,
spikes rods and other projections and protuberances, to be such as is found to be
most convenient or effective for the variously placed steam or heat or power
producing boilers or. other vessels-In general it will be found that the steaming
or heat producing effect will be greatest the longer and more numerous the
protuberances are in proportion to surface area.
The features of novelty I claim for my invention are
First. The producing of steam, power, or energy, by studding the heat exposed
surface of vessels subjected to heat, with projections or protuberances, and this
may be said to include my whole invention The number size and arrangement of
the projections or protuberances to be a matter to be settled by those who adopt
the plan.
