PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said John Nicholas
Marion at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with
his Petition, on the 2nd November 1852.
I, JOHN NICHOLAS MARION, Gentleman, of Paris, in the Republic
of France, and of 4, South Street, Finsbury, in the County of Mid-
dlesex, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "A NEW
MODE OF RENDERING CONCRETE COLESEED OIL" to be as follows:-
The combining coleseed oil with lard and milk. For carrying it
into operation I use three cauldrons of different dimensions, one of the
three being twice as large as the other two. I heat the oil to be
treated in the largest of the two first cauldrons. I melt the best fresh
lard in the second sized vessel. The lard must contain as little fleshy
parts but as much sward as possible, taking care before melting to cut
it into very small thin pieces, and when in a perfectly liquid state I
it may
filter, pressing it at the same time, to extract all the grease
contain, and then let it cool. In the meantime, for removing acids

page_text: and foreign matters which the heated oil may contain, I pour slowly
upon it a certain proportion of cold, pure, and very fresh milk, and
agitate it with a spatula. This operation being finished, I filter the
oil, and pour it with the lard, prepared as before stated, into the third
cauldron, taking care that it is at about the same temperature, and I
agitate the whole whilst cooling until it begins to coagulate, to hasten
which I can place the cauldron containing the mixture in a recipient
filled with hot water. As soon as the mixture or grease is cold it
is fit for application for lubricating machinery. I can replace the lard
by melted fat; in that case pure sward must be added to insure the
success of the operation.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said John Nicholas Marion in the Great Scal Patent
Office on the 2nd May 1853.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I,
JOHN NICHOLAS MARION, Gentleman, of Paris, the Republic of
France, and of No. 4, South Street, Finsbury, in the County of Mid-
illosex, send greeting.
WHEREAS Iler most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Second day of November, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-two, in the
sixteenth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors,
give and grant unto me, the said John Nicholas Marion, Her special
licence that I, the said John Nicholas Marion, my executors, admi-
nistrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said John Nicholas
Marion, my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time
agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all tinies 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
"A NEW MODE OF RENDERING CONCRETE COLESEED OIL," upon the con-
dition (amongst others) that I, the said John Nicholas Marion, by
an instrument in writing under my hand and seal, should particu-

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 John Nicholas Marion, do hereby
declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:
My Invention consists in rendering culeseed oil concrete, and appli-
cable to the lubrication of machinery, carriage axles, &c., by first
disacidifying it, and then causing it to blend and mix with a fatty
substance, by means of resin or a resinous composition.
I make use of two separate vessels, the capacity of one being
double that of the other; I also use a receiver, which is at least equal
to the capacity of the two vessels combined.
I commence by disacidifying the oil, and this I effect by means of
milk. The oil, say, for example, two pounds by weight, is placed in
the larger vessel, together with a teaspoonful of fresh, pure, cold milk,
it is then heated and stirred with a spatula until the oil commences to
smoke, that is to say, until it has reached the state of semi-ebullition;
the less the oil is pure the greater must be the proportion of milk.
In order to prevent the oil, whether in its fluid or concrete state,
from becoming rancid, and in order to cause it to blend and become
intimately mixed with a fatty body, as hereafter described, I add to.
every two pounds of oil about 2 ounces (40 grammes) of the following.
resinous composition, previously prepared and melted in a suitable.
ressel, namely:-

page_text: After the resinous composition is added, the oil must be well stirred
with a spatula in order to prevent the composition settling on the
bottom of the vessel. When thoroughly melted, and the mixture has
become intimate, I withdraw the vessel from the fire, and in a minute.
or two, and while still from the fire, I add to the quantity of oil above 5
named about one quarter of an ounce of the same composition pulver-
ized, and stir again until it is melted and has become intimately mixed
with the contents of the vessel. The oil thus prepared is allowed to
settle in order that any foreign matters may subside; it is then filtered
through a fine wire gauze or other suitable sieve placed over the 1
receiver into which it is poured. The quantity of resinous composition
may be varied, according to the solidity or consistence desired to be
given to the lubricating composition; the greater the quantity of resin
the firmer and more dense will be the product.
mences to set.
While the oil is being prepared I melt in the smaller vessel fresh
lard, as free from flesh and skin as it can be procured, mutton or beef
suct, or any other compact fatty matter; when thoroughly melted, I
express all the grease, filter it, and pour it into the receiver, together
with the oil previously prepared as above described, taking care that
the oil and grease shall be of about the same temperature. I agitate
with a spatula, and cause the oil and grease to become intimately mixed
and incorporated, and continue the agitation until the mixture com-
It is then allowed to cool, and when cold is in a fit
state for use. The quantity of grease to be added must be varied
according to the density to be given to the product, thus,,. or
even less than the weight of oil, will give very different degrees of
consistence to the product. The smaller the quantity of grease the more
fluid will be the product. This, however, will never become more fluid
than the resinous composition added to the oil. The weather has a
great effect upon the composition at the time of its preparation, for
the warmer the weather the less compact and dense will be the mess.
I find it necessary, therefore, in summer to increase the dose of fatty
natter, and also slightly that of the resinous composition.
The product obtained is soft and unetuous, does not become hard
by exposure to the atmosphere, does not become rancid, leaves no

page_text: remains from friction, and being free from acid does not act upon
metals.
In lieu of the resinous composition herein-before described, resin or
Bergundy pitch might be used alone (one part of the latter would be
equal to two parts of the former), the object of the resin being, as before
stated, to cause the two different fatty bodies to blend and intermix,
the tendency of which, and more especially under heat, is always to
separate.
And having now described the nature of my Invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that I claim,-
The rendering of coleseed oil concrete by first disacidifying it, and
then causing it to blend and intermix with fat or a fatty body by
means of resin or a sesinous composition, as herein-before described.
In witness whereof, I, the said John Nicholas Marion, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-seventh day of
April, One thousand eight hundred and fifty-three.
