COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Exhibition and like Towers.
I, TOM BRADLEY, of 1, Bradley Street, Bingley, in the County of York, Land
Agent and Surveyor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertaine
in and by the following statement, that is to say:-
-
It has for its object the production of a tower or like structure
for exhibition or other purposes, that will afford equal pleasure and advantages
to those as heretofore constructed, and that without exposing the users to many
of the dangers existing in connection with the prior structures, while the cost of
maintenance is greatly reduced
In the accompanying sheets of drawings which are illustrative of my inven-
tion:-
Fig. 1 is an elevation of a tower or structure built in accordance with my
invention.
Fig. 2 is a similar view to Fig. 1 but illustrates a modification in the con-
struction as hereinafter described.
Fig. 3 is an elevation showing certain details of construction hereinafter
referred to..
In carrying my invention into effect I build or construct the tower or other
structure a of such a form that a roadway or path 6 may be made to lead from
its base to its summit and that such by gradual circuitous or other gradients
(preferably somewhat of a convolute form) as to render it easy for pedestrians
to reach said summit or any other height or altitude they may desire. Or said
[Price 8d.1

page_text: pathway may be of any gradient greater or less than the one referred to as may
be found convenient or desirable.
The winding roadway may also be formed in solid masonry as shown by Fig. 1
or it may be constructed upon supports c which are secured to such solid
structure, or as will be well understood, the usual cross-bar or trellis-work con-
structed as shown by Fig. 3, may be followed.
In addition to the pathway b'I may have a tramway either running paralle!
with said pathway band in the same plane horizontally, or beneath said pathway b
as shown at d by Fig. 3.
By arranging the road or pathway as above described the interior of the
tower a may be utilised for any purposes as places for amusement, shops,
restaurants or the like, thus said tower will lend itself advantageously for use
at seaside or other pleasure resorts as may be found desirable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. A tower possessing a roadway, pathway or tramway arranged or constructed
in connection with it substantially as herein specified.
2. A tower having a roadway or pathway and a tramway formed in connection
with or mounted upon it substantially as herein set forth.
