I, JAMES LUVIAN WADE of the firm of J. L. Wade and Company, 26 Avenue
Street Bridgeton, Glasgow in the County of Lanark Manufacturing Chemist, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this Invention is the production from Sperm, Castor and mineral oils
of an effective and durable lubricant.
In preparing the compound the oils are blended in proportions varying according to
the nature of the machinery to be lubricated the Castor oil for example being increased
in quantity when the compound is intended for heavier and diminished for lighter
machinery. The oils in the requisite proportions are placed in an air tight boiler or
tank within which is a coil of steam pipes by which the mixture is raised to the
temperature required for any particular batch and in connection with the tank or
boiler an apparatus for exhausting the air over the surface of the oil is provided. This
exhaustion causes a violent rush of air through the oils the air entering the tank by an
inlet pipe connected thereto at a low level said rush setting up a powerful agitation
and carrying off the moisture given off in heating the oils. This treatment when
completed results in the production of a compound of great clearness possessing high
lubricating properties and the constituents of which are not liable to separation.

I, JAMES LUVIAN WADE of the firm of J. L. Wade and Company, 26 Avenue
Street Bridgeton, Glasgow in the County of Lanark Manufacturing Chemist, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
The object of this Invention is the production from Sperm, Castor, and mineral oils
of an effective and durable lubricant.
In preparing the compound the oils are blended in proportions varying from 25 parts
of Castor, 20 parts of Sperm, and 75 parts of mineral oil to 50 parts of Castor, 30 parts
of Sperm and 20 parts of Mineral oil according to the nature of the machinery to be
lubricated the Castor oil for example being increased in quantity when the compound
is intended for heavier and diminished for lighter machinery. The oils in the requisite
proportions are placed in an air tight boiler or tank within which is a coil of steam
pipes by which the mixture is raised to the temperature required for any particular
batch and in connection with the tank or boiler an apparatus for exhausting the air
over the surface of the oil is provided. This exhaustion causes a violent current of
air to pass upwards through the oils from an inlet pipe connected to the tank at a low
level, the said current setting up a powerful agitation and carrying away the moisture
given off in heating the oils. This treatment when completed results in the production
of a compound of great clearness possessing high lubricating properties and the
constituents of which are not liable to separation.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :
The lubricating compound of Castor, Sperm and mineral oils prepared or treated
substantially as hereinbefore described.
