| "My invention has reference to cases for electrical batteries or cells which have to be hermetically sealed, and are required to be of small size, and to be strong and of simple construction, and the particular kind of battery or cell case to which my improvements relate is that in which the case is formed of a cylindrical tube of hard india rubber or other insulating material, and is permanently closed at one end and is fitted at the other end with a plug or stopper likewise of insulating material, the two battery elements being carried by the tube and the plug respectively, or both elements being carried by either the tube or the plug, and the said elements having terminals outside the case. My improved cases have been specially invented and designed for use in the stock of a gun, though they may be used for other purposes.",GB188813615A,0 | |
| "Respecting that part of my improvements which relates to roads and ways, one portion consists in better securing the rails of railways. And whereas blocks of stone, commonly known as stone sleepers, were at one time largely used, but have since much gone out of use by reason of the chairs in which the rails were fixed getting loose'; and whereas this was mainly owing to the want of a sufficiently elastic medium between the iron chair and the hard stone block, and also by the insufficient fastening of the spikes, driven into wooden plugs in the stone blocks; my improvement will remedy.these. evils, and the use of stone blocks may be continued with very great advantage, as they form a firm, heavy, and solid foundation, acting as true ballast to the rails, and preventing them from being displaced by the rolling loads, which displacement is common to most timber sleepers, and also to. the light cast iron sleepers lately introduced.",GB185113653A,1 | |

| "I, PERCEVAL MOSES PARSONS, of No. 6, Duke Street, Adelphi, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby further declare that the objects of my Invention for ""Certain Improvements in Railway Carriage Axle Bearings,"" and the advantages I expect to derive from it, are,- | |
| First, a saving in the cost of the bearings themselves, as my improved bearings can be supplied at a less cost than the metal ones now generally used. Secondly, a saving in the cost of the lubricating material, as I anticipate that a lubricator of a much less expensive nature than the ""Booths' grease,"" now generally used, such as a mixture of soap and water, and other cheap saponaceous and oleaginous mixtures, and in some cases even water alone, may be employed to lubricate my improved bearings. Thirdly, I anticipate an increased durability of the bearings themselves, and a greater freedom from hot axles than is now the case with metal bearings, and less injury to the journals of the axles, if such an occurrence does take place. My object in impregnating the bearings in some cases with aqueous, alkaline, oleaginous, saponaceous, and metallic solutions is to give the bearing a certain amount of lubricating material within itself, to render them less liable to take fire when over-heating takes place, and to increase their hardness and durability.",GB185402330A,1 | |

| "These improvements have been invented with a view to the following results :--First, to increase the speed of the loom without giving such serious shocks to the mechanism, or the threads to be woven, as would break or injure them; and, second, to improve the quality of the fabric woven. It is important that there should be as little resistance as possible to the motion of the shuttle at the time of starting; and with a view to this object looms have been constructed with a lever projecting from what is called the ""protector rod,"" which is connected with the shuttle binders, and at the time the shuttle is thrown this lever is struck by a pin on one of the connecting rods, by which motion is communicated from the cranks to the lay, thus elevating the lever so as to remove the pressure of the springs from the binders at the time the shuttle is thrown. By preventing the operation of the take-up motion becoming effective, until after one, two, or more picks of filling have been put in, I compensate for or fill up the apparent omission of filling, or defect in the fabric above referred to. Seventhly, making the fork of the filling stop motion with moveable tines of any light flexible material such as I have described, fitting to an elastic socket, substantially as described, for the purpose of reducing the weight of the fork and catch-hook lever, and their resistance to the atmosphere, and obviating the necessity of their removal from the loom when the tines are accidentally broken.",GB185300670A,1 | |
