FREDERICK ARCHBOLD, of Great Charlotte Street,, in the County, of Surrey,
Gentleman, send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at West-
minster, the Eighth day of June, in the forty-ninth year of his reign, did, for
Himself, His heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said John
Frederick Archbold, His especial licence that I, the said John Frederick
Arclibold, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said
John Frederick Archbold, my executors, administrators, or assigns, should at
any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times during
the term of years therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, ex-
ercise; and' vend; within England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick-upon-
Tweed, my Invention of "AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE SYSTEM OF DISTILLATION,
RECTIFICATION; AND BREWING;" in which said Letters Patent there is contained
a proviso, obliging me, the said John Frederick Archbold, by an instrument in
writing under my hand and seal, particularly to describe and ascertain the
nature of my said. Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed,
and to cause the same. to be inrolled' in- His Majesty's High Court of Chancery
within two calendar months next and immediately after the date of the
said recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same, reference being thereunto
had, will more fully and at large appear.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
John Frederick Archbold, do hereby declare that the nature of my said
Invention, and the manner in which the same is to be performed, is described
and ascertained in the following explanation thereof (that is to said) :-
-
My Invention is for boiling or heating the the several vessels of a distiller,
rectifier, or brewer by the communication of steam. This I perform in the
following manner:-I place two lime kilns near each other, and set in or
place on the top of each kiln a steam pan; from both of these pans pipes
conduct the steam to the vessel or vessels to be boiled or heated. In the
side of each kiln is a door for the feeding or supplying it with fuel, chalk, or
other materials used for manufacturing lime; the steam pans are worked in
a kind of alternate manner, (that is,) when the one is boiling, the other may be
damped by fresh fuel, chalk, or such other materials as are used for manu-
facturing lime, being supplied to the kiln on which such other pan is set in or
placed, and so alternately. My Invention may also be performed by the
means of one steam pan being placed over a fire, and communicating its steam
by a pipe or pipes to the vessel or vessels to be boiled or heated, which latter
vessel or vessels may be three or perhaps four times the size of the steam pan;
but the former plan is attended with much less expence than this.
In witness whereof, I, the said John Frederick Archbold, have hereunto
hand-and-seal, the Seventh-day of August, in the year of our
set-my-
Lord One thousand night hundred and wine
JOHN FRED ARCHBOLD. (L.S.).
AND BE IT REMEMBERED, that on the same-Seventh day of August, in
the
year
above mentioned, the aforesaid John Frederick Archbold came before
our Lord the King in His Chancery, and acknowledged the Specification
aforesaid, and all and every thing therein contained, in form above written.
And also the Specification was stamped according to the tenor of the Statute
in that case made and provided.
