Year: 1876

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to James Henry Vince, of Bradford-on-Avon, in the County
of Wilts, Bookkeeper, for the Invention of "A NEW OR IMPROVED COMPOUND
FOR LUBRICATING WOOL DURING THE PROCESS OF CARDING."
Sealed the 30th May 1876, and dated the 12th February 1876.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said James Henry Vince at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 12th February 1876.
JAMES HENRY VINCE, of Bradford-on-Avon, in the County of Wilts, Bookkeeper.
"A NEW OR IMPROVED COMPOUND FOR LUBRICATING WOOL DURING THE PROCESS
OF CARDING."
My Invention has for its object the production of a lubricant adapted for use as
a substitute for Gallipoli oil employed in the carding of wool, and my Invention
consists in the manufacture and use of a compound mixture or emulsion made by
the incorporation of a solution of borax and sal soda with Gallipoli or other suitablo
oil or oils in such proportions as to economise the production of the lubricant.
A good and useful compound or lubricant may be made by dissolving two pounds
of borax and one pound of sal soda in twenty gallons of boiling water, to which
solution eighteen gallons of Gallipoli oil are then added, and thoroughly mixed and
incorporated therewith. These proportions are merely stated as having been found
to give good results, but they may be varied according to the kind and quality of
the wool to be carded.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed by the
said James Henry Vince in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 8th August
1876.

by the incorporation of a solution of borax and sal soda with Gallipoli or other
suitable oil or oils in such proportions as to economise the production of the
lubricant.
A good and useful compound or lubricant may be made by dissolving two pounds
of borax and one pound of sal soda in twenty gallons of boiling water, to which
solution eighteen gallons of Gallipoli oil are then added, and thoroughly mixed and
incorporated therewith. These proportions are stated as having been found to give
good results, but they may be varied according to the kiud and quality of the wool
to be carded.
Having thus described the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, I hereby declare that what I claim as of my Invention is,
the compound mixture or emulsion made from a solution of borax and sal soda
mixed and incorporated with Gallipoli or other suitable oil or oils, as herein-before
described.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Henry Vince, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, the Seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord One
