ΟΙ
Sealed the 24th July 1855, and dated the 31st January 1855.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Arthur Lyon at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
31st January 1855.
I, ARTHUR LYON, of Windmill Street, Finsbury, in the County of Middle-
sex, Sausage Machine Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of the
said Invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN SAUSAGE MAKING OR MINCING MACHINES"
to be as follows:-
The box in which the meat is cut up in sausage making or mincing
machines is generally formed of wood, which absorbs the juices from the meat,
and offers an objection to the use of such machines; when not made of wood
it is formed of iron which is also objectionable.
Now my, improvement
consists in lining the interior of sausage making and mincing machines, as
also the barrel, with tin or other white metal, whereby no part of the juices
of the substances to be cut up can be wasted or injured, and the interior of
such machines can be readily kept sweet and clean.

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, ARTHUR
LYON, of Windmill Street, Finsbury, in the County of Middlesex, Sausage
Machine Manufacturer, send-greeting-
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Thirty-first day of January, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and fifty-five, in the eighteenth year of
Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto
me, the said Arthur Lyon, Her special licence that I, the said Arthur
Lyon, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the
said Arthur Lyon, my executors, -administrators, and assigns, should at any
time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times there-
after 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 "AN
IMPROVEMENT IN SAUSAGE MAKING OR MINCING MACHINES," upon the condition
(amongst others) that I, the said Arthur Lyon, by an instrument in writing
under my hand and seal, 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 of the said Letters
Patent.
NOW KNOW YE,, that I, the said Arthur Lyon, 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 thereof, that is to say :-
The box in which the meat is cut up in sausage making or mincing
machines is generally formed of wood, which absorbs the juices from the meat,
and offers an objection to the use of such machines; when not made of wood
it is formed of iron, which is also objectionable. Now, my improvement
consists in lining the interior of sausage making and mincing machines, as
also the barrel, with tin or other white metal, whereby no part of the juices
of the substances to be cut up can be wasted or injured, and the interior of
such machines can be readily kept sweet and clean. I form the lining entirely
of tin, or of iron, or other metal, which I coat with tin, in the manner well
understood in the coating or covering of one metal with another.

page_text: And having now described the nature of the said Invention, and the manner
in which the same is to be performed, I declare that I claim, as of my said
Invention, the lining the interior and the barrel of sausage making or mincing
machines with tin or other white metal, for the purposes herein-before
explained.
In witness whereof, I, the said Arthur Lyon, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Twenty-fourth day of July, One thousand eight hundred
and fifty-five.
ARTHUR LYON. (L.B.)
