ARTHUR JAMES SCOLLICK of Mincing Lane in the City of London
IMPROVED COMPOUND FOR MAKING TIGHT JOINTS IN MACHINERY AND FOR OTHER
"
PURPOSES (a communication to me from abroad by Hermann Simons of Cologne
in the Empire of Germany)
This invention relates to an improved compound for making tight joints in
machinery and for other purposes.
In the manufacture of this compound sulphate of baryta, peroxide of manganese
and boiled linseed oil are mixed, then passed through rollers and afterwards beaten
with hammers or equivalent means.
In preparing this compound for use in making tight joints in pipes, engines,
boilers and such like purposes, the proportions considered advantages, are fifty
parts by weight of sulphate of baryta, filty parts by weight of peroxide of
manganese and twelve parts by weight of boiled linseed oil, but for some uses the
proportion of oil may be increased to give a fluid or semi fluid consistency so that
the compound might be applied as a coating or paint.

PURPOSES (A communication to me from abroad by Hermann Simons of Cologne,
in the Empire of Germany)
This invention relates to an improved compound for making tight joints in
machinery and for other purposes.
In the manufacture of this compound sulphate of baryta, peroxide of manganese
and suitable oil such as boiled linseed oil are mixed, then passed through rollers and
afterwards beaten with hammers or equivalent means.
In preparing this compound for use in making tight joints in pipes, engines,
boilers and for such like purposes, the proportions considered advantageous are
fifty parts by weight of sulphate of baryta, fifty parts by weight of peroxide of
manganese and twelve parts by weight of boiled linseed oil.
This compound is suitable for making joints in appliances for steam, hot or cold
water, gas, sanitary and other purposes; and can be used with advantage in lieu
of substances such as red or white lead, asbestos, india rubber and other jointing
compounds, inasmuch as it possesses, amongst other characteristics those of
cheapness, durability and non-liability to get hard in keeping or to crack in the
joints. Furthermore it sets very quickly, is clean in use and is always ready for
It is applied in the same manner as red lead.
use.
For some uses I increase the proportion of oil to such an extent as to give a fluid
or semi fluid consistency to the compound so that it may be applied as a paint or
coating instead of for making joints as above set forth.
With the fluid or semi fluid mixture, dryers may be used as is done with
ordinary paints.
Having described the nature of the said invention as communicated to me as
aforesaid I would have it understood that what I consider to be novel and
original and therefore claim as the invention secured to me by the hereinbefore in
part recited Letters Patent is :-
1. The manufacture and use of the improved compound or mastic composed of
a mixture of sulphate of baryta, peroxide of manganese and oil substantially
as hereinabove described.
2. The manufacture and use of the improved paint or coating substantially as
described.
In Witness whereof I the said Arthur James Scollick have hereunto set iny
hand and seal this fourth day of April in the year of our Lord, one thousand
eight hundred and eighty three
