PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said George Savile Goodall at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the

I, GEORGE SAVILE GOODALL, of Brighouse, in the County of York, Card
Maker, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN WIRE CARD COVERING POR CARDING TOW, FLAX, OR OTHER FIBROUS
SUBSTANCES," to be as follows:-
This Invention has reference to improvements in wire card covering, for
which Letters Patent were granted to me, dated December 19th, 1859,
No. 2888, in the Spécification of which it is shewn that in order to place and
secure angular or sectoral wire pins or points in proper position; the wire is
formed into staples.
I have now found that by making the holes in the wood lags to correspond
with the form of the wire, or of form similar to the peculiar section of the wire,
and in suitable position, I can place and secure pins or single points in proper
position without first forming the wire into staples.

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, GEORGE

WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters

thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, in the twenty-fourth year of Her reign,
did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said

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 "IMPROVEMENTS IN
WIRE CARD COVERING FOR CARDING TOW, FLAX, OR OTHER FIBROUS SUBSTANCES,
upon the condition, amongst others, that the said George Savile Goodall,
my executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under my, or
their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and ascer-
tain the nature of the said Invention, and in 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 George Savile Goodall, do hereby declare
the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following.
statement (that is to say):-
This Invention has reference to improvements in wire card covering, for
which Letters. Patent were granted to me, dated Dec. 19th, 1859, No. 2883,
in the Specification of which it is shewn that in order to place and secure.
angular or sectoral wire pins or points in proper position, the wire is formed,
into staples.
I have now found that by making the holes in the wood lags to correspond
with the form of the wire, or of form similar to the peculiar section of the.
wire, and in suitable position, I can place and secure pins or single points in
proper position without first forming the wire into staples.

page_text: This Invention is performed or carried into practice by first perforating or
making round holes of suitable size in the lags in the usual manner by drilling
or boring tools, and the angle is afterwards produced by means of tools of
similar shape or form and size in cross section to the peculiar section of the
pins to be inserted. A series of such tools are properly arranged and fixed
in a frame, and reciprocatory motion communicated to them, by which the
holes are slotted or cut out to the form and size required in regular order.
The pins are then driven tightly into the holes, the form thereof guiding and
holding the pins in proper position.
Having thus described the nature of my said Invention, and the manner in
which the same is performed or carried into practice, I would have it under-
stood that I do not confine myself to the means herein set forth, or any
particular kind of apparatus for making, the holes to the peculiar form of the
wire pins; but I claim the method of placing or guiding and securing in
proper position angular or sectoral wire pins in the wood lags of card-covering,
by forming the holes to the peculiar section of the wire.
In witness whereof, I, the said George Savile Goodall, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Thirtieth day of October, One thousand eight
hundred and sixty-one.
GEORGE SAVILE GOODALL. (L.S.)
Signed, sealed, and delivered by the
within-named George Savile
Goodall, in the presence of
WM. TASKER,
Patent Agent,
Halifax.
