Year: 1864

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Charles Garton, of the City and County of Bristol,
for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN OBTAINING POWER FROM LIQUIDS."
Sealed the 5th May 1865, and dated the 8th November 1864.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Charles Garton at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the 8th
November 1864.
I, CHARLES GARTON, of the City and County of Bristol, do hereby declare
the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN OBTAINING POWER
FROM LIQUIDS," to be as follows:-
My Invention consists in obtaining power from water and other liquids.by
causing the liquid to circulate in pipes through heat applied to a boiler with
which the pipes are connected, and by causing the said liquid'in its circulation
to give rotary motion to wheels, fans, or blades placed in the pipes themselves,
or in vessels closed except to the inlet and outlet of the said liquids. The
power for any purpose required is taken from the shaft to which the wheels,
fans, or blades are attached.
My Invention also consists in obtaining power from liquids by causing
them to ascend through heat, and by employing the liquid so raised to act in
its descent upon wheels, fans, or blades as aforesaid, the liquid returning to
the boiler or other vessel to be again heated, and so on.
The accompanying Drawing will enable my Invention to be understood.

that is to say-
My Invention consists in obtaining power from water and other liquids by
causing the liquid to circulate in pipes through heat applied to a boiler with
which the pipes are connected, and by causing the said liquid in its circulation
to give rotary motion to wheels, fans, or blades placed in the pipes themselves

power for any purpose required is taken from the shaft to which the wheels,
fans, or blades are attached.
My Invention also consists in obtaining power from liquids by causing
them to ascend through heat, and by employing the liquid so raised to act in
its descent upon wheels, fans or blades as aforesaid, the liquid returning to
the boiler or other vessel to be again heated, and so on.
The accompanying Drawing will enable my Invention to be understood.
A is a boiler in communication by a pipe B with a close tank C; D is a
return pipe from the tank C to another tank E, from which the water flows
through the pipe F into the boiler; G is a water wheel, caused to rotate by
the water descending in the return pipe D.
In witness whereof, I, the said Charles Garton, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Fourth day of May One thousand eight hundred
