NEW PATENTS LATELY ENROLLED. . 
rT a 
MR. ROBERT RANSOME’S (:Pswicn), for 
Improvements on the Wheel and Suing 
Plough, 
; ‘yo improvements set forth in this 
specification consist in making a 
variety of parts to one frame, so as to 
adapt the plough to every kind of land, 
By these means many advantages are 
gained, particularly that of preventing ~ 
the adhesion of clays, or stiff soils, which 
-@ccasion so much friction and inconveni- 
ence in the working of the common 
ploughs. .The patentee has given a num- 
ber of drawings with the specitcation; - 
in one of these is exhibited the iron 
frame, to which the mould, plates are 
fixed. In another are shewn, three dif- 
ferent shares to fix on the nose of the 
iron ground; in a third are shewn, the 
sliding bars, that dre used for the pur- 
pose of regulating the breast plates to 
any width required. These are slipped 
into dove-tails on the iron frame, and 
made fast by a pin. The several figures 
and letters of reference are so contrived, — 
that, if the plonghs are put together, as 
the parts are marked, in-the order of 
the alphabet, their different uses will aps 
pear, and no mistake can happen.

MR. SAMUEL BROOKES’ (BERMONDSEY), 
- for splitting Hides, so that each Side of 
the Hide, so split, may be manufactured 
Jor the purposes for which an entire 
_ Hide hath been before used: the Grain 
Side for Coaches, §c. and the Flesh 
Side jor White Leather, Vellum, &c. 
The- vacure of this invention, and the 
manner in which it is performed, are thug 
described :-Instead of splitting the 
tanned hides, by the machinery of cylin- 
der and knife, or shaving the raw hide by 
-a currier’s knife, the patentee takes the 
hides in the raw state, immediately after — 
.they have been unhaired, and: splits - 
them by a peculiar kind of machinery; 
and thus.he manufactures and produces 
two new materials, viz, the piece of the 
; ; hide.
