Year: 1876

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Edmund Barnes, Edward Salmon, and John Shepherd
Sawrey, all of Ulverston, in the County of Lancaster, Engineers, for the
Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN MANGLING, WRINGING, AND DRYING
MACHINES."
Scaled the 21st July 1876, and dated the 5th May 1876.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Edmund Barnes, Edward
Salmon, and John Shepherd Sawroy at the Office of the Commissioners of
Patents on the 5th May 1876.
EDMUND BARNES, EDWARD SALMON, and JOHN SHEPHERD SAWREY, all of Ulver-
ston, in the County of Lancaster, Engineers. "IMPROVEMENTS IN MANGLING,
WRINGING, AND DRYING MACHINES."
We make one or more of the rollers of cast iron, wrought iron, cast or other steel
or cast malleable iron, or of wrought-iron tubing or steel tubing, having centres
fixed in their ends for working in the sides or journals of the machine framing.
We "galvanize" or coat these metal rollers with a thick coating of tin, zinc, brass,
copper, muntz metal, pewter or spelter, or nickel, or a combination of any or some
of these metals. When made of tubing we coat the inside of them also therewith.
Instead of making the rollers wholly of metal we sometimes use wooden rollers,
and cover them with sheets of tin, zinc, brass, copper, muntz metal, pewter or
spelter, or a combination of any or some of these metals. This sheet covering may
be fastened on by means of screws, or by brazing or soldering. Or the wooden
roller may be covered with a tube composed of cast iron, cast or other steel, cast
malleable iron, or wrought iron, "galvanized" or coated thickly with tin, zinc, brass,
copper, muntz metal, pewter or spelter, or a combination of these or any of these
metals. The tube is firmly secured at the ends by means of screws or check
plates.

And having thus described the nature of this Invention, we declare that we claim,
the application of a thick coating of zinc, tin, brass, copper, muntz metal, pewter,
spelter, or nickel, or a combination of any or some of these metals or compositions,
to iron or steel rollers or to iron or steel coverings for rollers used in mangling,
wringing, and drying machines, as set forth.
In witness whereof, we, the said Edmund Barnes, Edward Salmon, and John
