Complete Specification Left, 3rd Jan., 1893-Accepted, 11th Feb., 1893
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Electrically Propelled Canos.
We, CHARLES EDWARD MASTERMAN, Engineer and WOODHOUSE & RAWSON
UNITED LD. Electrical Engineers, and Contractors, both of 88, Queen Victoria
Street, E.C. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the construction and arrangement of a canoe to be
propelled by an electromotor supplied with current from secondary batteries carried
on the canoe. These batteries and the electromotor are arranged in a watertight
compartment formed immediately in rear and partly at each side of the well in
which the passenger sits. The well is of such length that another passenger can
find room in its front part, or the well may in some cases be widened to admit of
two persons sitting side by side. At each side of the well and in front of it, also
behind the compartment containing the motor, are watertight compartments which
may either be decked over or covered with waterproof fabric. From the motor
compartment the shaft passes through stuffing boxes to the propeller which revolves
in a space provided in the deadwood immediately in front of the stern post.
Dated this 22nd day of April 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Electrically Propelled Canoe.
We, CHARLES EDWARD MASTERMAN, Engineer, and WOODHOUSE & RAWSON
UNITED LD., Electrical Engineers and Contractors, both of 88 Queen Victoria
Street, E.C. do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :--
This invention relates to the construction and arrangement of a canoe to be
propelled by an electromotor supplied with current from secondary batteries
carried on the canoe.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a longitudinal section of the canoe and
Fig. 2 is a plan with cover of machine room removed.
The batteries B and the electro-motor E are arranged in a watertight compart-
ment C formed immediately in rear of the well W in which the passenger sits.
This well is of such length that another passenger can find room in its front part,
or the well may in some cases be widened to admit of two persons sitting side by
side. At each side of the well W and in front of it, also behind the compartment
containing the motor, are watertight compartments T which may either be decked
over, as shewn, or might be covered with waterproof fabric.
When a considerable number of batteries are required, besides those on each side
of the machine room, others may be arranged on each side or in front of the
well W.
From the motor compartment C the shaft S passes through stuffing boxes to the
propeller P which revolves in a space provided in the deadwood immediately in
front of the stern post.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
An electrically propelled canoe, having about its middle a well for passenger

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In machinery for taking the mould or matrix in stereotyping, a platen operated
by hydraulic power to press the forme and flong against a flat surface and thereby
take a mould of the forme sufficiently deep for casting from, substantially as herein-
before described.
2. In machinery for taking the mould or matrix in stereotyping, the combination
of an upper platen and a lower platen, the one operated by hand power and the
other by hydraulic power, so as to press the forme and flong between them and
thereby take a mould of the forme sufficiently deep for casting from, substantially
as hereinbefore described.
3. In machinery for taking the mould or matrix in stereotyping, a hollow platen
heated internally by steam or gas and operated by hydraulic power to press the
forme and flong against a flat surface and thereby take a mould of the forme and
then dry the mould substantially as herein before described.
4. The improved machinery hereinbefore described and represented in the
accompanying drawings for taking the mould or matrix in stereotyping.
Dated this 23rd dar of January 1893.
