Year: 1848

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM
HAYWOOD GLOVER, of Stone Bridge, in the City of Chester, Chemist, send
greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Royal Letters Patent under the Great Scal of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, bearing date at Westminster, the Eighth day of
February (One thousand eight hundred and forty-eight), in the eleventh year
of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and graut
unto me, the said William Haywood Glover, my exors, adññiors, and assigns,
Her especial licence, full power, sole privilege and authority, that I, the
said William Haywood Glover, my exors, adñiors, and assigns, or such others as
I, the said William Haywood Glover, my exors, adiñors, or assigns, should at
any. time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times
during the term of years therein expressed, should and lawfully might make,
usc, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick-
upon-Tweed, my Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF OIL
FROM BLUBBER;" in which said Letters Patent is contained a proviso that I'
the said William Haywood Glover, shall cause a particular description of the
nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, by an instrument in writing under my hand and seal, to be
inrolled in Her said Majesty's High Court of Chancery within six calendar
months next and immediately after the date of the said in part recited Letters
Patent, as in and by the same, reference being thereunto had, will more fully
and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in complianco with the said proviso, I, the said
William Haywood Glover, do hereby declare that the nature of my Invention,
and the manner in which the same is to be performed, are fully described
and ascertained in and by the following statement thereof, that is to say :-

page_text: My Invention consists of combining distilled products of resin with blubber
oil, and thus to improve the quality of such oil for lubricating axles and parts
of machinery and other purposes. And in order that my Invention may be
most fully understood, and readily carried into effect, I will proceed to explain
the means pursued by me.
I cause the oil, when blubber is used, to be separated by heat sufficient to
melt all the fatty matters therein, and to cause them to separate from the
other matters, as hereafter explained in respect to foots or dregs; or I
employ the dregs or foots obtained in the treatment of fish, or what are called
blubber oils, and obtain from the foots or dregs as much oil as may be by
applying heat to melt the fatty matters, and so as to cause it to separate from
the other matters, which precipitate and allow the fatty matters to be skimmed
off; and with such products of oil or fatty matter I combine the balsamic or
oily products obtained by distilling resin, which are well known, and I combine
such products with oil in varied proportions; but I believe the best manufac-
ture is, to combine one part of the oil with two parts of the distilled products
of resin, and I combine these matters by stirring them together in a pan,
applying heat so as to keep the matters fluid, and I continue such process till
the matters are well blended together, and then allow them to cool, and the
new manufacture of blubber oil will be in a suitable condition to be applied to
the uses mentioned.
Having thus described the nature of my Invention, and the manner in
which the same is to be performed, I would have it understood that what I
claim is, the combining distilled products of resin with oils obtained direct
from the blubber as it comes to this country, as herein described, or from foots
or dregs obtained from fish, or what are called blubber oils, as described, thus
making a new preparation of oil, applicable to the uses herein mentioned.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Haywood Glover, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Third day of July, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and forty-eight.
WILLIAM HAYWOOD (L.s.) GLOVER.
