Year: 1856

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by Thomas Walker at the Office of the
Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the 8th November 1856.
I, THOMAS WALKER, of Balderstone, in the Parish of Rochdale, in the
County of Lancaster, Card Maker, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "AN IMPROVED METHOD OF LUBRICATING THE INTERIOR OF THE
CYLINDERS OF STEAM ENGINES FOR REDUCING THE FRICTION OF THE PISTONS
THEREOF," to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to certain improvements upon a former Patent, dated
the 10th day of April 1855, No. 785, granted to one Samuel Fielding, junior,
of Green, in the Township of Weirdle and Wardle, in the Parish of Rochdale,
in the County of Lancaster, for "improvements in apparatus for oiling or
lubricating the pistons of steam engines," and in which said Patent, I, the
said Thomas Walker, have an interest.
The principal feature of novelty of this present Invention consists in the use
and employment of certain parts of the apparatus described, set forth, and
represented in the Specification of the said Patent, No. 785, for the purpose
of mixing oil or other lubricating fluid with the steam before it enters the
cylinder of the engine, instead of conveying the oil to the piston and other
parts, as therein stated. The present improved method being designed for the
purpose of diffusing the lubricating fluid more uniformly over the entire inner
surface of the cylinder of the engine than by the means before described with
reference to the aforesaid Patent, No. 785, which I effect by mixing the oil or
other lubricating fluid with the steam before it enters the cylinder of the
engine.
