BUTIONAL ITERATION.
Improvements in or relating to Wheels for Velocipedes, Carts,
Carriages, and other Vehicles.
I, WILLIAM JAMES of 166, Borough Road, Birkenhead in the County of
Chester, Cycle Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to wheels for velocipedes, carts, carriages and other vehicles,
and has for its object certain improvements in the tyre or periphery of the wheel,
whereby the same is adapted for the purpose of printing and advertising.
In carrying my invention into effect, I arrange or provide on the tread of the
tyre or wheel a series of letters, words, figures, designs, or the like, forming a
species of type, whereby the vehicle, when travelling upon a road, sands or other
surface, will impress, form or print upon the said surface the letters, figures or
designs appearing upon the wheel.
The type may be formed on the tread, or may be separate therefrom, and attached
thereto by screws or in any other suitable manner.
Instead of forming it on the tread of the wheel, a special roller may be provided,
which performs the operation instead of the wheel itself.
Dated this 29th day of March 1893.

The type is preferably of steel wrought or malleable iron or bronze but could
be made of other tough material capable of standing the strain.

thereto by screws or in any other suitable manner.
Instead of forming it on the tread of the wheel, a special roller may be provided,
which performs the operation instead of the wheel itself.
