LETTERS PATENT to William Littell Tizard, of Aldgate, in
the City of London, Brewer's Engineer, for the Invention of
"A NEW COMBINATION OR NEW COMBINATIONS OF MATERIALS
SUITABLE FOR BUILDINGS AND OTHER STRUCTURES AND PARTS
THEREOF. AND MACHINERY FOR PRODUCING THE SAME.”
Sealed the. 11th February 1854, and dated the 12th August 1853.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William
Littell Tizard at the. Office of the Commissioners of
Patents, with his Petition, on the 12th. August 1853.
Specificatio
I, WILLIAM LITTELL. TIZARD, of Aldgate, in the City of Lon- Trovisional
lon, Brewer's Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "A NEW COMBINATION OR NEW COMBINATIONS OF
MATERIALS SUITABLE FOR BUILDINGS AND OTHER STRUCTURES AND PARTS
THEREOF, AND MACHINERY FOR PEODUCING THE SAME," to be as fol-
lows:-

page_text: First, the Invention consists in producing a new combination
or combinations of materials suitable for panels, doors, &c., by
placing woven wire or perforated iron plates of the exact required
size or nearly so, or strips of either woven wire or perforated iron
plate, between boards or sheets of papier machè or other similar
inaterials, and screwing, rivetting, cementing, or otherwise fasten-
ing the whole together previous to painting or finishing the same
in the ordinary way.
Second, the Invention consists in producing a new combina-
tion or combinations of materials for the manufacture of bricks,
blocks, mouldings, &c. for building purposes, and of doors, panels,
partitions, &c., tiles, slabs, or plates for roofing and flooring, by
combining plastic mixtures of earthy, animal, and vegetable
substances with woven wire or iron sheets or strips, perforated
or otherwise, the plastic mixtures being on one or both sides
of the same, according to the particular use for which the
same are required. The plastic mixtures which I employ are
composed of lime, sand, chalk, and other like matters, brought to
a suitable consistence with gluc, sizc, india-rubber solution,
&c., and having combined therewith hay, hemp, canvas, cotton,
straw, tow, saw dust, &c., white lead, oil, or other like materials.
The mixture having been spread or otherwise applied to the
surfaces of the woven wire or metal are allowed to dry, and then
smoothed, if requisite, and further treated by painting or other-
wise, as required. I also use the same combinations of materials
in the construction of vehicles and for other similar purposes.
Third, my machinery which I employ for the purpose of spread-
ing or otherwise applying the said plastic compositions on the
surface or surfaces of the woven wire or perforated metal for the
production of the articles before mentioned consists of tables
and rollers made hollow and heated by steam for the purpose of
keeping the compositions in a plastic state during the operation
of spreading or otherwise applying the compositions, which is
effected by means of a spreading knife and pressing apparatus
worked in conjunction with the tables and rollers so as to effect

Patent, filed by the said William Littell Tizard in the
Great Seal Patent Office on the 11th February 1854.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, s
T, WILLIAM LITTELL. TIZARD, of Aldgate, in the City of London,
Brewer's Engineer, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by
Her Letters, Patent, bearing date the Twelfth day of August,
in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-
three, in the seventeenth year of Her reign, did, for Herself,
Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said Wil-
liam Littell Tizard, Her special licence that I, the said William
Littell Tizard, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or
such others as I, the said William Littell Tizard, my executors,
administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and
no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during
the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use,
exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention
for "A NEW COMBINATION OR NEW COMBINATIONS OF MATERIALS
SUITABLE FOR BUILDINGS AND OTHER STRUCTURES AND PARTS THEREOF,
AND MACHINERY FOR PRODUCING THE SAME," upon the condition
(amongst others) that I, the said William Littell Tizard, by
an instrument in writing under my hand and seal, should parti-
cularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention,
and in what manner the same was to be performed, and cause
the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six
calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said
Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said William Littell Tizard, do

page_text: hereby declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly describe
and ascertained in and by the following statement thereof, that is
to say:
First, my Invention consists in producing a new combination or
combinations of materials suitable for panels, doors, &c., by
placing woven wire or perforated iron plates of the exact required
size or nearly so, or strips of metal or of woven wire or per-
forated iron plate, between boards or sheets of papier maché,
straw board, or other similar materials, and screwing, rivetting,
cementing, or otherwise fastening the whole together previous
to painting or finishing the same in the ordinary way, so as to
prevent an ordinary saw cutting through the material.
Second, my Invention consists in producing a new combination
or combinations of materials for the manufacture of bricks,
blocks, mouldings, &c. for building purposes, and of doors,
panels, partitions, &c., and tiles, slabs, or plates for roofing and
Hooring, by combining plastic mixtures of earthy, animal, and
vegetable substances with woven wire or iron sheets or strips
perforated or otherwise, the plastic mixtures being on one or both
sides of the same, according to the particular use for which the
same are required. The plastic mixtures which I employ are
composed of lime, sand, chalk, and other like matters brought to
a suitable consistence with glue, size, india-rubber solution, &c.,
and having combined therewith hay, hemp, canvas, cotton, straw,
tow, saw dust, &c., white lead, oil, or other like materials, the
proportions being varied to suit particular circumstances. The
mixtures having been spread or otherwise applied to the surfaces.
of the woven wire or metal are allowed to dry, and then smoothed,
if requisite, and further treated by painting or otherwise, as
required.
.
Third, the machinery which I employ for the purpose of
spreading or otherwise applying the said plastic compositions on
the surface or surfaces of the woven wire or perforated metal for
the production of the articles before mentioned consists of tables

page_text: and rollers made hollow and heated by steam for the purpose of
keeping the compositions in a plastic state during the operation
of spreading or otherwise applying the compositions, which is
effected by means of a spreading knife and pressing apparatus
worked in conjunction with the tables and rollers so as to effect
the even spreading and consolidation of the materials on the
metallic surfaces.
And having now described the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that
what I claim as my Invention is,
First, the construction of panels, doors, &c. by combining
strips of metal, wovon wire, or perforated metal with boards or
sheets of papier maché, straw board, or other similar materials in
the manner herein-before described.
Second, the manufacture of bricks, blocks, mouldings, &c. for
building purposes, and of panels, partitions, &c., and of tiles,
slabs, or plates for roofing and flooring, by combining plastic
mixtures of earthy, animal, and vegetable substances with strips
of metal, woven wire, or iron sheets or strips perforated or other-
wise, in the manner herein-before described.
And,
Third, the machinery for producing the before-mentioned new
combinations of materials, as herein-before described.
In witness whereof, T, the said William Littell Tizard, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this Eleventh day of
February, One thousand eight hundred and fifty-four.
