[March i , 1892. 
machine is charged with leaf it may rise vertically 
nnder the charge of loaf. The motion transmitted 
to it ia a horizontal motion. “A' lecoivos its motion 
from the jacket or case sm-rounding it — What part 
of the jacket moves “ A." ’> — I must e.vplain that 
qnestions arojboing put to me which I cannot answer 
yM or no — Mr. Browne said hejwould give him every 
omortunity of answering.— We do not make tea- 
rolling machines to run empty. We make them to 
do work and when they are full of loaf .this outer 
case or jacket gets worn away qn all aides. 
The parts that keen it in position on_ the 
front and back sides wear away quickly. 
1 cannot say therefore that one aide causes it to 
move oneway and the other the otlier way. This 
outer jacket contains a surface and drives it. In 
the model it is the side of the jacket from which 
it moves that propels it forward ; the central spindle 
keeping it steady.— I believe you do not claim trans- 
mission of motion by the spindle ? — 1 have got a 
jacket on my body, but I do not describe the sleeves 
and the pockets, hut I describe the whole thing as 
the jacket. — Do yon or do you not claim trans- 
mission of motion to “A” by the spindle '’—No, 
I do not specify ^ it. — In your action against Kerr 
you thoroughly disclaimed that any motion was 
given to **A'' by the spindle? — I cannot remember 
what I said in that action. — Did you not claim there 
that the spindle was simply a guiding rod?— I be- 
lieve I did, as a guiding rod which I believe I 
explained could bo so strengthened as to act as a 
driving rod. I also said that in the model there 
was not a particle of horizontal motion communicated 
to the top rolling surface through the vor-tical shaft 
or spindle.— " A " is dependent for horizontal motion 
on what it receives from the jacket. Which 
part of "A" first gets the motion? — It all receives 
motion at one time. — If I wore to expand the box 
round “A" so as to leave say an inch of an interval 
how would it get its horizontal motion ? — I never 
tried it and won't try. Is it not tho edges of ■‘A” 
that receive tho horizontal motion from ‘'B ' ? 
The whole of ‘‘ A " receives its horizontal motion 
from tho case. The jacket communicates tlio 
motion to the upper rolling surface “A.” Tho upper 
surface is contained in the jacket and when the 
jacket moves tho upper surface moves with it. 
—How does tho jacket make it move? I cannot 
explain more fully than I have done. — Does “A” 
receive its horizontal motion through its edges or 
sides from the sides of tho box or jacket?-? can- 
not explain it more clearly than I have done. The 
jacket or case is part of the machine. It may he 
described as a part of the mecluuiism or otherwise. 
Motion ia transmitted through the jacket to the 
top rolling surface (A) and so far it may be said to he 
art of the driving mechanism. It not only drives “A" 
ut contains the charge of loaf being operated on, 
and it permits of controllable movement to "A." 
Is it part of tho driving mechanism for other purposes 
than driving ‘‘A”?— There are no other purposes con- 
nected with the jacket which require driving. — Tho 
only use of what you call tho jacket ia to drive “ A ” 
and contain the leaf ? I have already explained. — 
When what you call the jacket is lifted off tho 
crank-pin and you apply the motor power will tho 
lower table move? — The lower surface will not move 
unless the w'holq machine is in complete form. I 
have never applied motive power to any incomplete 
machine for the purpose of trying to get it to 
move. Mr. .lackson hero remarked that the effect 
would be illustrated by taking tho fourth wheel off 
a carriage and then trying to drive homo in it, or 
taking a wheel out of a watch, and expecting it to 
go. One of llie differences between tlio Standirrd 
machine and the ICxeelsiqr is that in the Standard 
“A” drives the jacket and in tho Hxqelsior the jacket 
drives “ A.” In the defendant's machine tho horizontal 
motion of what corresponds to “ A " in the Excelsior 
is received from the spindle ? That is so, the 
spindle being carried by a double how or brac- 
kfit attached to the cylindrical drum. — In the 
Excelsior “ A ' is a perfect working lit to. the jirckct 
'thaV auxfounda it ? — “ A ” is placed loosely within the 
jacket and it ia a working fit in so far as it can 
bn moved freely up and down. In the defen- 
dant's machine there is an interval of about 
two inches between what corresponds to “ A ” in 
the Excelsior and the jacket round it. “ A " in 
my machine must touch tho jacket round 
it. I iiave never seen it touch in any of the 
defendant's macliines that I liave soon, and I havo 
seen seven I think. “A" in my machine in its re- 
ciprocating motion, moves always in the same direction 
to and fro. — When tliebelt is attached in the defendant’s 
machine to the pulley on the spindle, ‘-A” in it is caused 
to revolve'? — Yes, it revolves inside the cylindrical drum 
on its own axis. If I were to ts.ke away the wood- 
work round “A" in the Excelsior as it is 
atentod the bow would go with it? — Yes. 
ut that is a mere detail of construction.— It 
I were to take away the woodwork and tho bow 
with it would uot “A” be moved about by tho 
metal work?— I havo never contemplated such a 
state of things. — “ A" would not in these oirenm- 
stances have the operation you now design for it ?— 
I do not know what operation “ A " wonld have 
inside a box of that nature. I can only give 
my opinion on a machine that is complete. 
I would explain tliat the jacket consists of the various 
parts of whicli it is composed. If any one of these 
parts arc taken away it wonld be taking 
away a part of the machine described as 
the jacket. Witness then proceeded to describe 
what a hearing is. It consists of a piece of turned 
iron, or metal inserted into a hole freely and easily, 
so that the piiece of metal may be allowed or may 
have permission to revolve freely in the hole. 
Witness's attention was called to tho second para- 
graph in the specification and he was asked.— ^ill 
yon sliow on your model the bearing that connects 
the upper crank pin to tho top-rolling surface? — To 
enable me to show this- 1 must refer to the speci- 
fication and drawings. I point out tho bearing on 
tho model. The speeificatioli has tho following 
words in it “K ]j M ” are three crank pins on the 
crank shaft, K being attached to tho roll- 
ing surface A. through the case B. The 
drawing clearly illustrates how this is done. Tho 
hearing is not directly or immediately attached 
to " A ” itself. Yes, I said tliat the driving mechan- 
ism ill the Excelsior is connected directly to tho 
jacket at tho upper crank-pin by tho bearing there. — 
But tho metal work of what you call the jacket is 
part of the driving mechanism is it not ?— I must speak 
of this as a whole. A piilley is made np of four arms 
and a rim to it. As engineers we speak of a driving 
pulley as a whole piece in tho same way as I 
referred to the case or jacket as a whole pioce. Tho 
metal portion is a part of the whole. Tho metal 
portion and otlier parts composing the whole may bo 
considered a part of the driving mechanism or 
otherwise. One part of the driving mechanism is 
connected with the other by moans of tho upper 
crank pin “K.” The lining of wood forming part of tho 
case or jacket is placed inside tho outer frame 
and secured to it by screw holts. What I have 
done in my machine is simply that I have described 
a circle throngli the working of two straight lines. 
If I put a sheet of paper notween tho upper and 
lower rolling surface and suspend it there free from 
each,' a pencil attached to each surface wonld mark 
straight lines. In the machine as it now stands 
with tho iqiper driving belt removed the pencil 
would describe a true circle. If a sheet of 
paper wore put between tho two surfaces of 
detondant’s machino independent of ouch of 
them, and a pencil wore attached to each of 
them, each pencil wonld describe a circle about <> 
iiiohos. A circle would also bo described on » 
sheet of paper put nnder the horn plate.— So that the 
motion of Brown's machine in every part through- 
out is rotatory?— It is not rotatory or rather it i“ 
rotatory and ecoontrio. Tho two surfaces of tho 
Excelsior move in straight lines at riglit angle'* 
throngli oseh other. (Mr. Browne said that in the 
defendant's machine the upper rolling surface in 
motion was about oiie-tliird of a circle lie thonght 
bohind tha lower.) In yom- machino us patautad did
