PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Material for Underclothing.
FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY of 36 Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention as
communicated to me from abroad by Messrs. Mattes and Lutz of The Mechanical
Tricot Weaving Mills, Besigheim, in the Kingdom of Würtemburg, Manufacturers,
to be as follows:-
The peculiarity of this material consists in the fact that wool and cotton, or silk
and cotton, or silk and wool, in equal proportions are so interwoven that both
materials come in contact with the skin alternately in threads juxtaposed and
superposed, whereby it is rendered possible for the whole body at the same time to
be wrapped in wool and cotton, or silk and cotton, or silk and wool, because these
materials are in contact with one another in the diagonals and alternately cover one
another now above, now below.
The weft is produced in various weights, and in various and variegated colours.
Dated this 19th day of January 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Material for Underclothing.
FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY of 36 Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention as
communicated to me by Messrs. Mattes and Lutz of The Mechanical Tricot
Weaving Mills, Besigheim, in the Kingdom of Wurtemberg, Germany, Manu-
facturers, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a new or improved material for underclothing. The
peculiarity of this material forming a stuff produced by a weaving process consists
in the fact that wool and cotton, or silk and cotton or silk and wool in equal
proportions are so interwoven that both materials alternately in threads juxtaposed
and superposed come in contact with the skin, whereby it is rendered possible for
the whole body at the same time to be wrapped in wool and cotton or silk and
cotton or silk and wool, because these materials are in contact with one another in
the diagonals and alternately cover one another now above, now below. When for
instance the wool of the first row of mails or meshes is on the outer side of the stuff,
then is the cotton on the inner side and vice-versa.
By these means the body is enclosed at the same time in wool and cotton, and in
consequence of the different thickness of the wool and cotton threads there are
formed small channels crossing or running close by the body, securing thereby a
good circulation and uniform temperature of the warmed air being produced by
the radiating warmth of the body between the latter and the stuff covering the
same.
The new weaving stuff may be manufactured in various weights, and in various &
variegated colours.

page_text: Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
An improved material for underclothing consisting of two different spun-goods as
wool and cotton, or silk and cotton, or silk and wool, which in equal proportions are
so interwoven that both spun goods alternately juxtaposed and superposed come out
on each side of the new stuff thus forming air-circulating channels, substantially as
specified.
