PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Apparatus for Casting Lead.
I, JULES CARRON, of 171 Rue d'Arras Lille, in the Republic of France,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The machine which forms the object of this invention is particularly designed to
cast lead in the form of gratings to be used in the manufacture of white lead.
Figure 1 is an end elevation, Figure 2 a side elevation and Figure 3 a plan of
the machine.
A is a furnace in which the lead is melted. B is the tap hole by which the lead
escapes. B is a spout delivering the melted lead on to the wheel C. This wheel
is in the form of an annular trough containing the mould for producing the
gratings. On the outside are the teeth 5 driven by the pinion 4. The lower part
of the wheel C turns in the reservoir D into which a stream of water is introduced
to cool the wheel as it becomes heated by contact with the molten lead.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Apparatus for Casting Lead.
I, JULES CARRON, of 171 Rue d'Arras, Lille, in the Republic of France,
Engineer, 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 :-
The machine which forms the object of this invention is particularly designed to
cast lead in the form of gratings to be used in the manufacture of white lead.
In the drawings left with the Provisional Specification
Figure 1 is an end elevation, Figure 2 a side elevation and Figure 3 a plan of
the machine.
A is a furnace in which the lead is melted. B is the tap hole by which the lead
escapes. B' is a spout delivering the melted lead on to the wheel C. This wheel
is in the form of an annular trough containing the mould for producing the
gratings. On the outside are the teeth 5 driven by the pinion 4. The lower part
of the wheel C turns in the reservoir D into which a stream of water is introduced
to cool the wheel as it becomes heated by contact with the molten lead.
E is an incline with blades for lifting the continuous grating. F is a circular
knife for cutting the grating into lengths. G is an endless band for conveying
these away. His the main driving pulley. I the fly wheel. J the framing.
K the pulley driving the endless band G. L the chimney. M the air pipe. 1 is
a bevel pinion on the main shaft gearing with the pinion 2 mounted on the same
shaft as the pinion 3 driving the pinion 4 which gears with the teeth on the
wheel C.

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 apparatus for casting lead the combination of a continuously revolving
mould, means for directing a stream of molten lead onto the mould and means
for removing the solidified lead from the mould substantially as described.
2. Apparatus for casting lead substantially as described and shown in the
drawings.
