is to be performed, used, and exercised, as follows, that is to say:-
His Invention consists in so constructing the branch or sconce that the arms
may be extended or contracted at pleasure, and when closed may be packed
with greater safety and in much less room than others. They may be made
of any kind of metal, cither simple or compound. The arms are formed of any
number of bars, either plain or ornamented, crossing each other in the center,
as described in the annexed plan or Drawing by the letter A, and, connected
together at the ends as at B, by a round wire passing through the joints and
revited; they are also made to act on pins only. The arms are affixed to the
center by a joint as at C, and are made perfectly steady, when drawn out to
their full extent by pins which are attached to the joint C, and act within and
against the barrel G., and at any distance.or in any position by screwing the
center capital D tight down upon the joint C. The manner of fixing the
screws is described at E, where the center capital is drawn separate from the
branch. The extending capitals screw off at F, by which the pattern may be
varied; the joints at B, C, and F have each a silver plate or washer to
act upon.

I suspend in the centre of the mould in which they are usually cast. I then
cast or pour over them copper or any other metal or composition of metal that
will answer the purpose in a melted or fluid state, so that the iron or other
metal bands shall become sufficiently cased or covered with the copper or
other metal.
Secondly, for bolts, I prepare or make a pin of wrought iron, which I also
suspend in the centre of its mould; I then cast or pour over the copper or
other fit metal or composition in a melted or fluid state, until it likewise
becomes cased or covered; and in the same manner I treat every other article
which I case with copper or other metal or composition. But in order to cause
the two metals intimately to unite, it will be necessary to heat the iron, &c. red
hot, previously to suspending or placing it in the mould.
In witness whereof, I, the said John Dobson, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, the Nineteenth day of October, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and eleven.

First, in continuing the grain of the iron from the shank into the arms,
similar to the shape of a knee or arm of a tree, whereby the necessity of 5
effecting a junction at the crown, as at present welded, is superceded.
Secondly, in carrying a piece of iron across the crown; from the centre of
each arm, making thereby a perfect truss, which, when welded, resembles the
form of a truss beam.
Thirdly, in forming both the shank and arms of flat bars, placed so as to act 1
edgewise on the line of resistance when the anchor is in the ground.
And, fourthly, in forming the largest part of the shank one-third down from
the crown, in a line across from toe to toe of the arms.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, the
Thirteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and thirteen.
AN IMPROVED BACK FOR SCYTHES, REAPING HOOKS, STRAW KNIVES, ANDHAY KNIVES
Year: 1813

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, J, THOMAS
YATE HUNT, of the Brades, in the County of Stafford, Steel Manufacturer,
send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third did, by
His Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain and Ireland,
bearing date at Westminster, the Twenty-fifth day of August, in the fifty-third
year of His reign, give and grant unto me, the said Thomas Yate Hunt, my
exors, adñiors, and assigns, His especial licence, full power, sole priviledge and
authority, that I, the said Thomas Yate Hunt, my exors, adñiors, and assigns,
should and lawfully might, during the term of years herein mentioned, make,
use, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick-
upon-Tweed, my Invention of "AN IMPROVED BACK FOR SCYTHES, REAPING
HOOKS, STRAW KNIVES, AND HAY KNIVES;" in which said Letters Patent there
is contained a proviso, that if 1, the said Thomas Yate Hunt, shall not
particularly describe and ascertain the nature of my said Invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, by an instrument in writing under
my hand and seal, and cause the same to be inrolled in His Majesty's High
Court of Chancery within two calendar months next and immediately after
the date of the said Letters Patent, that then the said Letters Patent, and all
liberties and advantages whatsoever thereby granted, shall utterly cease, deter-
mine, and become void, as in and by the same (relation being thereunto had)
may more fully and at large appear.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Thomas Yate Hunt, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention,
and the manner in which the same is to be performed, are particularly
described and ascertained as follows, that is to say:-
\It consists in manufacturing a back for scythes, reaping hooks, hay and
straw knives, with a flange or plate of a suitable breadth to admit of holes
being drilled or perforated through it, in order that the same may be rivetted
or screwed to a steel or iron and steel blade, from which circumstance the said
back acquires a great superiority over those manufactured on the common
principle, because in that it is necessary that the holes through which the
rivets pass
should be drilled through the back, whereas, on my plan, the said
holes being punched or drilled through the flange or plate, the strength of the
back remains entire and unimpaired, and at the same time a degree of
lightness, strength, and neatness is given to the various articles to which it is
applicable, which cannot be produced by the common back.
In witness whereof, I, the said Thomas Yate Hunt, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Thirteenth day of October, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and thirteen.

Year: 1813

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM
JENKINS, of Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Brassfounder, send
greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, bearing date at Westminster, the Twenty-second day of May, in
the fifty-third year of His reign, gave and granted unto me, the said William
Jenkins, His especial license that I, the said William Jenkins, might, during
the term of years therein expressed, use, exercise, and vend, within England,
Wales, and the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "AN IMPROVE-
MENT IN THE METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SOCKET CASTORS USED WITH OR AFFIXED
TO CABINET AND OTHER FURNITURE AND THINGS; in which said Letters Patent
a proviso is contained, obliging me, by an instrument in writing under my hand
and seal, to cause a particular description of the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in His
Majesty's High Court of Chancery within two calendar months after the date
of such Letters Patent, or otherwise that the same Letters Patent should be
void, as in such Letters Patent, reference being thereunto had, will more fully
and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said William Jenkins, in order to comply with
the said proviso, do declare that my improvement in the method of manufac-
turing socket castors consists of making some with raised sockets, others with

page_text: stamped sockets, and others with sockets both raised and stamped, all of which
sockets by such my improved method being made whole, and not in parts, and
made out of composition metal commonly called rolled metal. I also declare
that the way in which I make the said sockets is by raising them either at a
press, or a stamp, or at both, and by stamping some sorts of them after so
raised; other sorts I stamp only. I then clip such as may want clipping,
whether raised, or raised and stamped, or stamped only, which sockets I then
combine with the other necessary parts so as to make the article complete.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Jenkins, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, the Seventeenth day of July, in the fifty-third year
of the reign of our Sovereign Lord George the Third, by the grace
of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland King,
Defender of the Faith, and in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and thirteen.
Inrolled the Nineteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and thirteen.
