PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said David Anderson
Smieton at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his
Petition, on the 10th May 1875.
I, DAVID ANDERSON SMIETON, of Dundee, in the County of Forfar,
North Britain, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention of
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PREPARATION OR TREATMENT OF CLOTH TO BE USED FOR
COVERS, BAGS, AND OTHER ANALOGOUS PURPOSES," to be as follows, that is
to say :-
This Invention which relates to improvements in the preparation or
treatment of cloth to be used in covering or lining walls, in making

page_text: covers or wrappers for sugar loaves, in making bags or moulds, in the
production of covers or wrappers generally, and for other analogous
purposes for which cloth treated according to this Invention is applicable,
consists in affixing or cementing to one or both sides of the cloth one or
more layers of paper, which may either be plain or have figures, designs,
or patterns printed thereon, as for example when the prepared cloth is
used for covering or lining walls.
In cementing the paper and cloth together the paper is passed
between two rollers, preferably covered with india-rubber or other elastic
material, which rollers are rotated in a box or receptacle containing a
solution or admixture of starch, cement, or other mucilaginous or
adhesive substance. From the lower roller the starch or cement is
delivered on to the under surface of the paper, which then passes to a
calender previous to or on entering between the rollers of which it meets
the cloth, and these together are thereafter subjected to heavy pressure
between one or more sets of calender rolls, by which means the paper is
impressed or embossed on to the cloth to which the starch or cement
causes it to adhere.
