PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Lubricating or Treating Fibrous Materials in
Process of Manufacture.
We, ROBERT HAMILTON, of Trinity Lodge, Trinity, in the County of Mid
Lothian, North Britain, Iron and Steel Merchant, and JAMES CULLEN HAMILTON,
of Kingscavil, Linlithgow, in the County of Linlithgow, North Britain, Oil Works
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows, that is
to say :-
--
-
Our said invention has for its object the lubricating or treating of fibrous
materials in order to facilitate their manufacture in rope making, spinning, weaving,
and analogous processes; and it consists in using for that purpose certain substances
to which we have applied the term "tergolene.
Such substances suitable for our purpose are economically obtained as bre
products of the processes employed in refining mineral oils, but may also be derived
from other sources in well known ways. The said substances consist of sulphonic
acids or sodium or potassium salts thereof, such sulphonic acids being obtained by
treating bodies known as olefines with sulphuric acid.
We use the said acids or salts alone or in combination with mineral or fatty oils,
preferring to use the substances in a neutral condition; and we apply the same to
the fibrous materials by sprinkling or by any mechanical or manual operation by
which a small quantity can be diffused through the materials with sufficient
uniformity.
Dated this Ninth day of October 1890.

same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement, that is to say :-

We use the said acids or salts alone or in combination with mineral or fatty oils,
preferring to use the substances in a neutral condition; and we apply the same to
the fibrous materials by sprinkling or by any mechanical or manual operation by
which a small quantity can be diffused through the materials with sufficient
uniformity. We do not restrict ourselves to any precise proportion of the said
acids or salts or mixtures thereof with mineral or fatty oils to be used in applying

page_text: our invention, but may state as a general rule that from five to fifteen pounds may
be used for every hundred pounds of the fibrous materials operated on.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
The application of tergolene for lubricating or treating fibrous materials it
process of manufacture substantially as hereinbefore described.
