With my improved method the number of men required for working the furnace is very much reduced, and the operating of the charging trough involves little or no manual labour, and consequently materially reduces the cost of working.",GB189914073A,1899,0 | |

| """Heretofore in printing these goods the color rollers and their accessories have been mounted in the general fixed framing of the machine, thereby causing a great waste of time when changing the colors from one part of the machine to another, in changing the coloring of a design, or in changing the design altogether, as in that case the color rollers and their accessories have to be separately taken from their bearings and removed to their respective places in the altered design intended to be printed necessarily occupying much time. By the use of the portable color frame, the color rollers and their accessories are removed and, replaced at once by simply lifting from one part of the machine to another when it is necessary to alter the coloring of any design, thereby economising time and rendering the operation much moro cleanly. It has been usual in printing these goods to apply the coloring matters on to the upper surface of the printing rollers or cylinders, thereby preventing the possibility of applying more than a very limited quantity of colouring matter without liability of the color flowing down into the carved or engraved parts of the design and causing defects in the work. But by means of the adjustable radial arms and adjusting worms carried in the color frames the endless color cloths can be adjusted at various angles to the printing surfaces. Wo find that the best results are produced by bringing the color cloths into such a position or angle that the color shall be applied from below or to the under side of the printing rollers, whereby larger quantititics of color can be applied without danger of its flowing into the carved parts of the design, thus obviating many defects in the printing and at the same time producing greater brilliancy of color. These moveable segmental pattern blocks may be cut or carved in the usual manner or they may be constructed with stereotype surfaces, as is well known, and attached by dovetails and grooves to the central cores, by which contrivance large and claborate designs can be obtained at less cost than by the usual method of forming the printing cylinders. By this arrangement greater accuracy of register is secured and a much larger amount of colouring matter can be applied to the printing surfaces and consequently greater brilliancy of design obtained than heretofore.""",GB187100577A,1871,1 | |

| "Knowing these difficulties or impediments and the importance of overcoming the same, I have first sought to do away with the metallic piston as a recipient of work, then for working under the greatest possible fall of temperature disposable due to the combustion of a body, I find that it is essentially convenient to effect such combustion rapidly, which avoids the loss of heat and other actions of time, but without seeking to intentionally decrease the inaximum pressure and temperature of the explosion, and lastly to transmit the vis-viva or total work due to the explosion by allowing the products of such explosion to pass over any recipient, the float board of a turbine for instance, directly or by the medium of a projectile or gaseous or liquid piston thus increasing the mass in movement and reducing the speed of flow. Lastly the apparatus for realizing this method of action is of such slight weight and requires such restricted amount of combustible that these advantages have suggested to me the idea of applying the same for the purpose of navigation, aerostation and aviation apart from other uses for which very naturally the properties of a light, simple, and economical motor renders it fitted.",GB189410034A,1894,1 | |

The purpose of the porous rocky stone is to give by its porosity an opportunity to the top material to combine ultimately with it so that a non-porous, strong material is produced, which is capablo of resisting even the hardest shocks and when laid in mixed layers gives an indestructible surface of good appearance. The purpose of the action of especially high pressure, say of about 301) atmospheres after the three principal masses bave been placed in the mould is, bosides producing a close compression of the pulverised and grain-like ingredients, chiefly to produce a stone in which the ground mass is combined with the asphalte-top mass into one whole by means of a heavy and strong pressure. By this means is attained a complete mutual penetration of the ground-and top layers in the separation plane of the two layers so that a subsequent separation, breaking off or loosening of the separate ingredients even whon subjected to the greatest strains is completely avoided. The purpose of the top layer is to obtain a surface which in respect of strength answers to all the requirements of heavy street traffic and on account of the layer being comparatively thin, costs much less than if the whole stone were prepared as hitherto of such top-layer.",GB189618714A,1896,1 | |
