.PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Making Panels or Linings for Carriage and other
Roofs, Ceilings, Walls, and the like.
1, THOMAS THOMSON, of Wellington Terrace, Cardonald, in the County of
Renfrew, North Britain, Technical Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows, that is to say :-
My said invention has for its object the manufacture of panels or linings for
carriage and other roofs, ceilings, walls, and the like in an improved and durable
manner. My improved panels or linings are of a rigid character, more com-
pletely impervious to moisture and less liable to deteriorate than wood or other
materials hitherto used for snch purposes; whilst another advantage of my
improved panels or linings is that they may be made (without joints) for spaces
of comparatively. large size.
1
In carrying out my invention I use two pieces of strawboard, millboard, paper,
or similar material, each piece being built up to the desired thickness by cementing
together any number of separate pieces with a cement of starch and glue or if
necessary a waterproof cement.
1..
The two pieces of millboard or the like are cemented together by first coating
one surface of one or both pieces with a composition of the kind described in my
Patent Specification No. 3354 of 1888; and by afterwards causing the coated
surfaces to adhere by pressing them together in any suitable and sufficient manner.
The composition may be applied to the surface or surfaces of the pieces of
millboard or the like by means of any suitable known apparatus such as that
used in spreading linoleum; or the composition may be thinned down with a
volatile solvent or by heat and spread by means of a scraper or doctor or rollers
in a manner usually practised with such compositions.
The combined materials are exposed to air and heat if necessary to age or dry
the composition and the panels or linings are finally finished by giving the
surfaces of the millboard one or more coatings of any good preserving composition,
the face or outer surface being also treated with one or more coats of oil varnish,
or otherwise treated to form the finished surface.
When extra strength is desired canvas or woven fabric of any desired texture
may be combined with each piece of millboard or the like before cementing them
together with the composition.
The composition may be first' applied between two plies of cauvas or paper or
millboard, and outer plies of paper or the like may be subsequently cemented
thereon.

Roofs, Ceilings, Walls, and the like.
I, THOMAS THOMSON, of Wellington Terrace, Cardonald, in the County of
Renfrew, North Britain, Technical Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, that is to say :-
My said invention has for its object the manufacture of panels or linings for
carriage and other roofs, ceilings, walls, and the like in an improved and durable
manner. My improved panels or linings are of a rigid character, more completely
impervious to moisture and less liable to deteriorate than wood or other materials
hitherto used for such purposes, whilst another advantage of my improved panels
or linings is that they may be made (without joints) for spaces of comparatively
large size.
In carrying out my invention I use two pieces of strawboard, millboard, paper,
or similar material, each piece being built up to the desired thickness if necessary
by cementing together any number of separate pieces or plies, preferably with an
oleaginous or other waterpoof cement.
The two pieces of millboard or the like are cemented together by first coating
one surface of one or both pieces with an oleaginous composition of the kind
described in my Patent Specification No. 3354 of 1888; and by afterwards causing
the coated surfaces to adhere by pressing the pieces together in any suitable and
sufficient manner. The cementing substance may consist partly or wholly of
rubber solution; and it may be applied to the surface or surfaces of the pieces of
millboard or the like by means of any suitable known apparatus such as that used
in spreading linoleum; or the composition may be thinned down by a volatile
solvent or by heat and be spread by means of a scraper, or a doctor, or rollers, in
a manner usually practised with such compositions.
The combined materials are exposed to air and to heat if necessary to age,
harden, or dry them, being so treated either in a flat form or in a curved,
corrugated, or other form imparted to them by bending or pressing whilst they are
in a comparatively soft state." The panels or linings are finally finished by giving
the external surfaces of the material one or more coatings of any good preservative
composition, the face or outer surface being also treated with one or more coats
of oil varnish, or being otherwise treated to form the finished surface.
When extra strength is desired canvas or other woven fabric of any desired
texture may be combined with each piece of millboard or the like before cementing
them together with the composition.
The composition may be first applied between two plies of canvas, or paper, or
millboard, and outer plies of paper or the like may be subsequently cemented
thereon.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The making of panels or linings for carriage and other roofs, ceilings, walls,

page_text: millboard, paper, or similar material substantially in the manner and by means
of a waterproof cementing composition or substance of the kind hereinbefore
specified.
Dated this Twenty second day of November 1894.
