PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Edward Peyton and
William Fothergill Batho at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents,
with their Petition, on the 14th April 1862..
We, EDWARD PEYTON, of Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Manu-
facturer, and WILLIAM FOTHERGILL BATHO, of the same Place, Manager, do
hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN ANGLE
IRON, APPLICABLE TO METALLIC BEDSTEADS,. ROOPS, BRIDGES, AND OTHER SIMILAR
PURPOSES," to be as follows:-
We roll or otherwise manufacture angle iron with corrugations, by which
we give it additional strength or stiffness, and are thus enabled to use a
lighter metal, thus combining strength with lightness of material, and giving
an improved appearance to the object constructed with it, such as metallio
bedsteads, roofs, bridges, and similar constructions.

by the said Edward Peyton and William Fothergill Batho in the Great
Seal Patent Office on the 11th October 1862.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, we, EDWARD
PEYTON, of Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Manufacturer, and
WILLIAM FOTHERGILL BATHO, of the same Place, Manager, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Fourteenth day of April, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, in the twenty-fifth year
of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto
us, the said Edward Peyton and William Fothergill Batho, Her special
licence that we, the said Edward Peyton and William Fothergill Batho,
our executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as we, the said
Edward Peyton and William Fothergill Batho, our executors, adminis-
trators, 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 ANGLE IRON, APPLICABLE TO METALLIC
BEDSTEADS, ROOFS, BRIDGES, AND OTHER SIMILAR PURPOSES," upon the condition
(amongst others) that we, the said Edward Peyton and William Fothergill
Batho, our executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under
our, or their, or one of our or 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 of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that we, the said Edward Peyton and William
Fothergill Batho, do hereby declare the nature of our said Invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement, that is to say :-
We roll or otherwise manufacture angle iron with corrugations, by which
we give it additional strength or stiffness, and are thus enabled to use a lighter
bulk of metal then at present, thus combining strength with lightness of
material, and giving an improved appearance to the object constructed with it,
such as metallic bedsteads, roofs, bridges, and similar constructions.
This Invention will be readily understood by reference to the Figure on the
accompanying Sheet of Drawing representing a transverse section of one of

page_text: our corrugated angle irons. The corrugated angle iron shewn is of small
size adapted for metallic bedsteads, roofs, and similar purposes, but it may
be made of any required dimensions, and have any suitable number of
corrugations.
Having now described the nature and particulars of our said Invention, we
desire it to be understood that we claim the manufacture of angle iron with
corrugations for the purpose of obtaining greater strength and lightness with
less bulk of material than in the plain angle iron at present employed.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Fothergill Batho, for and on
behalf of myself and the said Edward Peyton, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Sixth day of October, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and sixty-two:
WILLIAM FOTHERGILL BATHO. (L.S.)
