C
for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN WRAPPERS' EMPLOYED IN THE
MANUFACTURE OF SEED OF OIL CAKE."
Sealed the 6th October 1875, and dated the 23rd April 1875.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Cyrus Eskrett at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
23rd April 1875.
I, CYRUS ESKRETT, of Hull, in the County of York, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN' WRAPPERS'
EMPLOYED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SEED OR OIL CAKE," to be as follows:-
My Invention consists in the construction of "wrappers”. or envelopes
used in the manufacture of seed or oil cake, whereby they are rendered
much more durable and lighter, consequently much more convenient
to use, and at the same time take up much less room so that more
can be put at the same time into the press, and is as hereafter
described.

page_text: I provide a thin metal plate of the required shape for the cakes; on
this plate and as near as convenient to the right and left edges are
rivetted or otherwise secured thereto light angle iron bars, and between
these angle irons are provided bars or ribs of wood, or other suitable
material rounded on the top to form the corrugated surface of the cake. 5
These bars or ribs may be placed on the plate separate from each other,
or any convenient number may be secured together. The bars are held
in position by metal strips on the angle irons. Instead of what is known as
angle iron other suitable forms of bars may be employed. On the angle
iron and above the metal strips are provided "edges" which may be 1
composed either of horsehair or other suitable substance.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent
filed by the said Cyrus Eskrett in the Great Seal Patent Office on ]
the 23rd October 1875.

described.
I provide a thin metal plate of the required shape for cakes; on this
plate and as near as convenient to the right and left edges are rivetted or
otherwise secured thereto light angle iron bars, and between these
angle irons are provided bars or ribs of wood, or other suitable material
rounded on the top to form the corrugated surface of the cake. These
bars or ribs may be placed on the plate separate from each other or any
convenient number may be secured together. The bars are held in
position by metal strips on the angle irons. Instead of what is known
as angle iron other suitable forms of bars may be employed. On the
angle iron and above the metal strips are provided edges which may
be composed either of horsehair or other suitable substance.
