PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Tubes, Channels, Bowls, or
similar Receptacles for Liquids, such as the Tubes or Bowls of
Wool Washing Apparatus.
I ALFRED AMBLER, of the Firm of Abram Ambler and Sons of Prospect and
Well House Mills Wilsden, near Bingley in the County of York, Spinner do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In washing apparatus for wool and other fibres and in other machinery tubes,
channels, bowls and other similar receptacles for liquids, are employed constructed
of cast iron, or other similar form of iron, or are made of wood secured by iron
bolts and nuts and these materials are liable to be deleteriously acted upon by
certain liquors used in treating the wool or other material therein and the iron sides
are liable to become roughened by the loosening of the fibrous texture of the iron
or wood and a clinging action upon the wool or other material treated is developed
with great detriment to the operation of the machinery.
In carrying out the present invention I form the surfaces of the tubes, channels,
bowls and similar receptacles of copper, or alloys of the same with other suitable
metals or of similarly non corrodible metal or alloy preferably using a thin sheet
or skin of the metal with a backing or filling of wood or other similarly cheap
material of a rigid character.
I find it economical and convenient to make the sides, bottom and cover, or other
parts of such tubes, channels, conduits, bowls or other similar receptacles for liquid
of such combined materials as follows:-I take a thin tube of copper or similarly
suitable metal and I force thereinto from opposite ends wooden pieces of wedged or
inclined section and by hydraulic or other suitable pressure I cause these to fill up
and form the tube into a skin or coating for the wood or material forced in.
The plates or parts thus formed are then bolted or otherwise suitably built up
and secured into the required forms of tube or part of apparatus required.
Such parts so built up or prepared will be found suitable for use in the
construction of such apparatus as is described in the Specification of Letters
Patent granted to myself jointly with Samuel Ambler and Frank Ambler dated
29th of August 1889 No. 13626 and 12th of December 1890 No. 20267, as regards
all those parts liable to be acted upon deleteriously by wash liquor.
Dated the 24th day of March 1893.

hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
O performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
In washing apparatus for wool and other fibres and in other machinery-tubes,

Such parts so built up, or prepared will be found suitable for use in the
construction of such apparatus as is described in the Specifications of Letters 2
Patent granted to myself jointly with Samuel Ambler and Frank Ambler dated

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 shews a cross section of the three high sections or passages of a conduit,
such as referred to a¹, a², a³, each side wall of these sectional conduits is built up of
a slab, or piece, or pieces composed of a filling of wood at and an outer skin of
copper a³, as more clearly indicated by the separate detail view Fig. 2 shewing the
wood in section and Fig. 3 shewing the copper skin also in section.
b, b, are bolts passing through the ribs or girders cc and through the slabs or
walls, all being held together with the aid of the screw nuts d d.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The construction or arrangement and use, in the manufacture of tubes, 3
channels, bowls or similar receptacles for liquids, such as the tubes or bowls of wool
washing apparatus, of slabs, plates or parts of combined wood and copper,
substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth and shewn by the
drawings.
2. The herein before described construction of parts of apparatus designed to 4
resist the corrosion of liquids of an outer skin of copper encasing a core of wood
substantially as set forth.
Dated the 16th day of August 1893.
