We are glad to have to announce to the

.MR. -WM. HACKWOOD’s, (SKELTON, 
STAFFORDSHIRE,) for IMPROVEMENTS 
iz SASHES, WINDOW-FRAMES, @c. 
N.the introdu&tioh to Mrv Hackwood’s 
{pecification, the imperfections of 
wooden and. metal fafthes are noticed: 
the latter are faid to be too weighty, and 
both them and thofe formed ef wood are 
liable to decay, to interrupt too much 
light, to ftand in need of cleaning, paint- 
ing, &c. &c. To remedy thefe inconve- 
niences, Mr. Hack wood propofes to fubfti- 
tute for woed or medal, pottery ware; and 
in hi~“>-cification he has laid’ down rules 
for the  Rruétion of fathes and window- 
frame from this fubftance. In all cafés in 
which the fafh is a fixture, the whole of it 
is recommended to be of pottery ware, but 
if it turn upon hinges, then the fide on 
which it turns may be of wood, into whtich, 
according to the dircétions given, the other 
fubfance may .be made to unite. 
MR. WM. BELL’s.(DERBY), for an im- 
proved METHOD of MANUFACTURING 
LANKS, or MOULDS. for KNIFE, 
RAZOR, and SCISSAR BLADES, and 
various other EDGE-TOOLS, and of 
FORKS, FiLES, Gd NAILS. 
_ Mr. Bell makes ufe of frames and rol-. 
fers, which are worked by any of the me- 
chanical powers, fimilar to thofe which are 
commonly made ufe of for rolling or flat- 
ting iron, fleel, filver, copper, and other 
malleable metals or fubftances; but the 
novelty of his application of them is, that 
he caits, turns, indents, or forms on the 
furface of the faid roller or rojlers, certain 
impreffions. The rollers are made of caft 
iron, wrought iron, feel, or a mixture dr 
combination ,of either of them. Thefe 
imprefion-rollers are placed together, or 
one of them that is imprefled againt that 
which is not, in the ufual method of rol- 
Jers; and by obferving 4 nicety in fixin 
them paraliel toeach other, Mr. Bell paffes 
between them, either in a hot or cold ftate, 
bars or fheets of fteel, iron, filver, ox any 
other metals, or their compounds, which 
have been preyioufly rolled, or otherwife 
brought to a proper thicknefs or gauge, 
and which are fufficiently duétile to receive 
an impreffion by means of this procefs.. In 
a drawing, accompanying this fpecification, 
is reprefented the back and edge of a knife, 
razor, or fciffar-blade, as well as a variety 
of other edge-tools which may be made 
from metal this formed, or the thick and 
thin part, which is alfo calculated to cut 
nails from any fubftances proper to be 
applied to the bufinefs. The principal 
intention of the patentee is to make thereby 
copper or iron nails, or {prigs or blanks for 
them preparatory to heading. By fimilar 
means Mr. Bell produces blanks or moulds 
for making files and forks, with this dif- 
ference, that he cuts, cafts, turns,-or in- 
dents, on the furface of the rollers, fuitable 
impreffions for any fize or farm of files and 
forks wanted. And having thus produced 
the neceffary forms and figures of the va- 
rious articles, they are to be feparated from 
each other by means of a prefs or fly, or. 
with fhears, made of any form fuitable ta 
the purpofe. nM 
MR. JOSEPH HUDDART’S (HIGHBURY 
TERRACE), for a@ METHOD or ART 
of MANUFACTURING and SPINNING 
YARN, different from any now in ufe. 
This invention confifts in a new mode 
of manufaéturing and {pinning yarn from 
hemp, flax, and other fibrous articles, the 
advantag- of which is, that the fibres are 
laid in the yarn without being doubled; 
and as nearly as poflible at their full length, 
and at the fame time, without any fuper= 
fluous confumption of the raw apis:
