PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said George Hartley at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the 19th
October 1864.
I, GEORGE HARTLEY, of the Firm of Rowley, Hartley, and Company, of
Aldermanbúry, in the City of London, do hereby declare the nature of the
said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN COVERING BUSKS FOR STAYS AND BODICES,"
to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to certain improvements in covering the metallic
busks of stays and bodices, and consists in the application thereto of a com-
pound material of cotton or other fibrous material, woven and placed between
two layers of paper or paper pulp, to which it is attached by means of an
adhesive solution after the manner of forming the material used for the
manufacture of paper collars.
The exterior surfaces of paper may be treated with some waterproof solution,
if desired, or may be toughened by the use of any of the known chemical
solutions adaptable to the purpose. The compound material may be caused

page_text: to adhere to the busk by aid of waterproof glue or other suitable adhesive
solution. By these means the busks are preserved from the effects of the
moisture of the body, and are rendered more durable and easy of application
to the manufacture of stays or bodices.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said George Hartley, in the Great Seal Patent Office on the
19th April 1865.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, GEORGE

Hartley, my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with,
and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term
therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend
within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands
and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN COVERING BUSKS FOR
STAYS AND BODICES," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said
George Hartley, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing,
under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe
and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the
same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal
Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after the date

.
_ NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said George Hartley, do hereby declare the
nature of my said Invention; and in what manner the same is to be per
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This Invention relates to certain improvements in covering the metallic
busks of stays and bodices, and consists in the application thereto of a com-
pound material of.cotton or other, fibrous material woven and placed between
-one-or-more-layers_of_paper_or_paper pulp, to which it is attached by means

page_text: of an adhesive solution after the manner of forming the material used for the
manufacture of paper collars.
The exterior surfaces of paper may be treated with some waterproof
solution, if desired, or may be toughened by the use of any of the known
chemical solutions adaptable to the purpose. The compound material may be
caused to adhere to the busk by aid of waterproof glue or other suitable
adhesive solution. By these means the busks are preserved from the effects
of the moisture of the body, and are rendered more durable and easy of
application to the manufacture of stays or bodices.
Having now described the nature of my said Invention, and the manner in
which the same is to be performed, I would remark, in conclusion, that I do
not limit myself to the use of any particular fabric or compound fabric for the
purpose of covering metallic busks, nor to any especial adhesive solution, as
these may be varied according to circumstances; but what I claim as my
Invention, and desire to be secured to me by the herein in part recited
Letters Patent, are the "Improvements in Covering Metallic Busks to be
employed in the Manufacture of Stays and Bodices; substantially as herein
specified.
In witness whereof, I, the said George Hartley, have hereunto set my.
hand and seal, this Thirteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord
