Lancaster, Tape Sizer, WILLIAM THOMAS BRIGGS of Marsh Terrace Over Darwen
aforesaid Tape Sizer and JAMES GRIME BRIGGS of 28 Ellison Fold Terrace Over
Darwen aforesaid, Tape Sizer do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
IMPROVED MODE OF BOILING SIZE AND CONDENSING STEAM IN CONNECTION WITH
TAPE SIZING MACHINES to be as follows :-
By fixing a T pipe contiguous to the self-feeding tap used in all modern sizing
machines and applying the steam thereto the size thus becomes boiled by the
steam, prior to its flowing into the size box-A one inch copper tube about six
feet long, "pudding" shape bent, is then attached to the T pipe, there is then a
diminished coupling attached to the other end of the copper tube and a half inch
copper tube is screwed into the diminished coupling; a reserve is theu fixed in the
size box the half inch tube running into it. By reason of this, the size becomes
thoroughly and evenly boiled before the size box receives it-The reserve also
effectually economises the steam and the yarn is evenly sized and better regulated
in weight-The reserve delivers the size under the float roller and gives the self
feeding tap perpetual motion.

Lancaster Tape Sizer, WILLIAM THOMAS BRIGGS of Marsh Terrace, Over Darwen
aforesaid Tape Sizer, and JAMES GRIME BRIGGS of 28 Ellison Fold Terrace Over
Darwen aforesaid Tape Sizer do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
IMPROVING THE MODE OF BOILING SIZE AND CONDENSING STEAM IN CONNECTION
WITH TAPE SIZING MACHINES and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
By fixing a coupling marked A on the plan hereto annexed contiguous to the
self feeding tap used in all modern sizing machines and applying the steam thereto
at the point marked B on the said plan the size thus becomes thoroughly boiled by
the steam whilst flowing through a one inch copper pipe about seven feet long with
"pudding" shaped bend prior to its flowing into the size box-A one inch copper
tube about six feet long "pudding" shape bent marked C on the said plan is then
attached to the T pipe, there is then a diminished coupling from one inch to half
an inch, marked D on the said plan, attached to the other end of the copper tube
and a half inch copper tube is screwed into the diminished coupling-The reserve,
marked E on the said plan, is then fixed in the size box, the half inch tube
marked F on the said plan, running into it-The reserve delivers the size under
the float roller, marked H on the said plan, and gives the self feeding tap marked G
on the said plan perpetual motion-By reason of the steam being applied to the
size after passing through the self feed tap and the size not being confined during
its process of boiling in this apparatus, the weight of the yarn is more regular, and
the construction is so arranged that the whole of the steam necessary for boiling
the size is utilized-Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature
of our said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare
that what we claim is, the method of and apparatus for applying steam to size
after passing through the self feed tap substantially as and for the purposes
herein before described.
