on the 18th October 1855.
I, JOHN DAVIE MORRIES STIRLING, of the Larches, near Birmingham, do
hereby declare the nature' of the 'Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN COATING
SILVER, COPPER, ZINC, AND IRON, AND ALLOYS OF THOSE METALS,"
follows:
'as
This Invention has for its object the coating of silver, copper, zinc, and
iron, or alloys of those metals, with aluminum, by means of pressure; for this
purpose a sheet of the metal to be coated, and a thin sheet of the coating
métal, their surfaces being clean, are to be brought in contact, and caused to
join together by great pressure, using heat when necessary.

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, JOHN
DAVIE MORRIES STIRLING, of the Larches, near Birmingham, send-greeting...
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Eighteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and fifty-five, in the nineteenth year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me,
the said John Davie Morries Stirling, Her special licence that I, the said
John Davie Morries Stirling, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or
such others as I, the said John Davie Morries Stirling, 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 Channels Islands,
and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN COATING SILVER, COPPER,
ZING, AND IRON, AND ALLOYS OF THOSE METALS," upon the condition (amongst
others) that I, the said John Davie Morries Stirling, my executors or admi-
nistrators, by an instrument in writing under my, or their, or one of their
hands and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the
sáid 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 John Davie Morries Stirling, do hereby
declare the nature of the 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, that is to say:-
This Invention has for its object the coating of silver, copper, zinc, and
iron, or alloys of those metals, with aluminium, by means of pressure. For
this purpose a sheet of the metal to be coated, and a thin sheet of the coating.
metal, their surfaces being clean, are to be brought in contact, and caused to
join together by great pressure, using heat when necessary.
Having thus stated the nature of my said Invention, I will proceed more
fully to describe the manner of performing the same.
It is well known that various metals have been before combined into com-
pound sheets by rolling two different metals together, and the means of

page_text: performing the process are well known; I do not, therefore, claim the rolling
of two different metals together in order to obtain a compound sheet thereof.
But my Invention is confined to the coating of silver, copper, zinc, or iron, or
alloys of those metals, with aluminium, and making compound sheets by the
simple process of rolling, and using heat when necessary.
In witness whereof, I, the said John Davie Morries Stirling, have here-
unto set my hand and seal, this Fourteenth day of April, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-six.
o Witness,
MC SAUTTER.
JOHN DAVIE MORRIES STIRLING. (L.S.)
