Year: 1845

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, THOMAS
BAZLEY junior, of Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Cotton Spinner,
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing "date at West-
minster, the Twenty-second day of May, in the eighth year of Her reign, and
in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and forty-five, did, for
Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said Thomas
Bazley, Her especial license that I, the said Thomas Bazley, my executors,
administrators, and assigns, and such others as. I, the said Thomas Bazley, my
executors, administrators, or assigns, should at any time agree with, and no
others, from time to time and at all times during the term of years therein ex-
pressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within England
and Wales and the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "CERTAIN
IMPROVEMENTS IN TUBE FLYERS USED IN MACHINERY FOR ROVING AND SLUBBING
COTTON AND OTHER FIBROUS SUBSTANCES;". in which said Letters Patent is con-
tained a proviso obliging me, the said Thomas Bazley, by an instrument in
writing under my hand and seal, particularly to ascertain and describe the
nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, and to cause the same to be enrolled in Her Majesty's High
Court of Chancery within six calendar months next and immediately after
the date of the said in part recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same,
reference being thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Thomas Bazley, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention, and

page_text: the manner in which the same is to be performed, is particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following explanation thereof (that is to say):-
My Invention applies to that part of the ordinary machinery employed in
the preparation of cotton, &c. for spinning called "tube flyers," which are well
known to the practical manufacturer, and used for conducting and winding on
to the bobbin the rovings or slubbings as they proceed from the front of such
machines.
My Invention consists in coating, covering, enamelling, glazing, japanning,
or otherwise lining the interior of the tube of these "flyers" through which
the rovings or slubbings pass, by the application, employment, or use of any
well-known glaze, japan, varnish, enamel, or other such lining, coating, or
covering, for the purpose of rendering the interior of such tube perfectly
smooth, and thereby preventing, in a great measure, the imperfection occa-
sioned by the friction and abrasion upon the rovings or slubbings at present
experienced in such machinery.
Having now described the particular feature of novelty in my improve-
ments, I desire it to be understood that I claim as my Invention, and which
is secured to me by virtue of the above recited Letters Patent, the coating,
covering, enamelling, glazing, japanning, or otherwise lining the interior or
passage of the hollow arm of "tube flyers," by means of the fusions or lami-
nations of any metallic substances, or the application of japan, varnish, enamel,
glass, paint, or any other suitable lining.
In witness whereof, I, the said Thomas Bazley, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-first day of November, One thousand eight
hundred and forty-five.
