New Patents lately Enrolled. 



{■Jan. 1, 



the motion of tha apparatus, and by the 

 opening the valve o\ the wafte trunk, at 

 the inllant the mould begins to rile, all 

 the water is difcharged from above tiie 

 mould, by pafling through the wire into 

 the lower part, and is carried off lo the 

 forn)er level of thvr wsfte, and is thus pie- 

 pared ior a fecond deprefiion of the mould, 

 or rather another mould, becaufethe lead- 

 ed one, when raifed up to its higheft fta- 

 tion, is made to pudi away the Aides to 

 meet the coucliei't hand, who furnifhes, 

 at the fame time, the alternate mould ; 

 and when the mould is again dti^irefTed, 

 the vniveon thevvalle beii^gflmt, the ma- 

 . chine is fitted for a feccnd charge, and 

 thus the procefs is continued with certain- 

 ty and eafe. 



The (econd improvement confifts in an 

 invention of making paper in er.dlefs 

 fheets, of any length and width, by a cir- 

 culating procefs, performed by a wheel or 

 frame ccmpofed ot three or more rings of 

 thin wood or metal, mounted on an hori- 

 zontal axis, like a water-wheel, with a 

 fhield on each fide of the upper extremity 

 of its periphery, 'o fit the edges of the 

 two extreme rings in a fegment forn^, 

 nearly water tight, to prevent the lateral 

 difcharge of fluid palling over the wheel. 

 A feed;ng cillern, prepared with fluff, is 

 ftationed above the wheel, to be ihrowii 

 tipou if, or the circular nioii'd at difire- 

 tion ; by this means a conftant and end- 

 lefs procefs may be kept up to any extent. 

 There is a couching uglier to take the pa- 

 per from the mould, and two other rollers 

 through which the flieet is condu£led from 

 the couching roller. 



A third improvement confifls in malc> 

 ing a fingle prels competent to lupply the 

 offices of aimort any number on the com- 

 mon plan. This prefs is of fufficient 

 power, capacity, and Itrength, to receive 

 the Inrgtft (heett, and alio competent to 

 withfJsnd the greatelt exertion that the 

 preparations ot each clals of paper may 

 require from the preis. 



The laii improvement confifls in having 

 So contrived the dry ing-houfe ot a paper 

 mill, as to rejiJer the ra.fing and taking 

 down the heavy frames on which the pa- 

 I er is hung unneceliary, and by this im- 

 provement women and children may do 

 the dutv of the drying-houfe inflead of 

 men ; and facility wili be given to the pro- 

 csU of hanging and re-hanging the fiiects 



intended to be expofeJ to dry. For thfa 

 purpole wooden frames aie prepared, 

 mounted with lines, rails, or wires, like 

 clothes-horfes divided into rows. To as to 

 leave room for the convenience of hang- 

 ing and re-hanging the (heets. They are 

 itaiioned at proper diflances with grooves 

 fitted to the frames, that each may be 

 flided veriically up and down by means of 

 lines and pullies affixed to them, like fafh- 

 windows that are double hung; thus 

 while one of the frames is Aiding up to 

 touch the cailing, the alternate one may 

 be deprefTed till its lower edge, or the pa- 

 per which hangs upon it, may come near- 

 ly in contail with the floor. Thus fia- 

 tioned, and governed by lires ard balance 

 weights, each can be fuccefliyely deprefl"- 

 ed, tor the convenience of putting the 

 paper on and ofl within the reach, cr near- 

 ly fo, of a perlbn's hand while flandiiig 

 on the fl.^or ; and hy this means even chil- 

 dren can work as well as men ; and be- 

 ginning at one extremity of the room, 

 may Itrip or cover every frame with eafe. 

 And as each fiame is charged by fliding 

 them alternately in contrary directions, or 

 one up ar.d the other down, the whole 

 hcufe may be filled to a much greater 

 amount of paper in the fame fpace than 

 can be done in the ufual manner. 



SIR GHORGE WRIGHT'S (RAY LODGE, 



tssEX), for a Machine Jor cutting out 

 cf fslid Stone, ircod, i2c. Villars or 

 Tubes, either cylindrical or conical, ivitb 

 a Salving of Labour and Materials. 



The chjeft of this invention is lo form 

 or cut fti ne, wood, &c. into various kinds 

 of circular work, without the labour and 

 expence of chipping or hollowing; and 

 alio by means thereof to form pipes, cif- 

 terns, chimney tops, arches, and all kinds 

 of circular work. This is performed by 

 the application of a faw or laws, or other 

 jnflruinerts, in a hole or holes previpufly 

 drilled in the IVonc, &c. fir that purpofc, 

 or of laws cr infliuments tor fawii;g, 

 working, or cutting from a centre or cen- 

 tres, or in a tangent, of any given circle 

 or oval. 



The drawings in the margin of this 

 fpecificaticn exhibit feme rf the modes by 

 which the inveotioc may be carried into 

 eflVa.
