MIR. HENRY FOURDRINIER’S (SHERBORNE 
LANE), for a Method of making a Ma- 
chine for manufacturing Paper of an 
indefinite Length, laid and wove, with 
separated Moulds. 
The moulds, which are fimilar to thofe 
commonly ufed, except as to the thinnefs 
ef the framing, on each part of two 
oppofite fides, by which means any nuni- 
ber of-them may be. brought into contaét 
fo as to form one long mould, upon which 
the paper is to be made. Inftead of the 
deckle being applied to each mould, there 
is an edge bar, joined by hinges to 
each of thofe fides of the moulds which 
are not intended to be applied to.each 
other. This bar may be raifed to per- 
form the office of a deckle, by prevent- 
ing the paper, &c. from flowing. beyond 
the fide edges, and the edve-bar is by 
weights, fprings, &c. made to alfume a 
petpendictilar pofition, excepting when it 
1§ wanted to be deprefied or turned back. 
Another prmeipal part of the engine. 
is a platform upon which the moulds are 
to be fupported during the time of work, 
in fuch a manner, ee that the moulds 
fhall be at liberty to fide along in one 
direction and in no other. The paten- 
tee has here given the details of his mode 
of operation in, which cur mits will not 
fuffer us to follow hin. 
Above the platforin, he difpofes a vef- 
fel, containing the paper ready to be 
made in fheets, in fuch a fituation as to 
allow the moulds to be fueceffiy ely intro- 
duced in their places upon the platform

belind each other. On oné fide of the 
vellel there is a trough, which receives 
the materials of the paper through holeg, 
each of which is provided with regifters _ 
to regulate the fupply of the faid taate- 
rials which are agitated in the troagh, 
while they pafs er ‘flow to the outer edue 
over which they fall upon the moulds be- 
neath. 
Upon and near the ath) extremity of 
the platform, which is moft remote from 
the place of agitation, is a cylinder, 
having its axis parallel to the furface of 
the moulds, and in a plane at right an- 
gles to their courfe. The cylinder i is fup- 
ported by, and connected with the plat- 
form, fo that the agitation does not alter 
the relative fituations of the cylinder, 
platform and moulds. There are other 
cylinders, and their ufes defcribed im the 
fpecifications, but thefe, we are told, are 
not effentially neceflary. 
The procefs of the manufacture may — 
be thus defcribed: a feries of moulds is 
duly placed and connected upon the plat- 
form, fo as to occupy the fame.. The 
machinery is then thrown into gear with 
the firft mover, which caufes the cylinder, 
and alfo agitating axis, to revolve at the - 
fame time that the paper, ftuff, or materi- 
al is permitted to flow from the trough and 
fail upon the moulds. 
is connected with the platform, refts up- 
on the moulds, and, by means of its-felt, 
takes hold of that mould which may be 
immediately beneath it. and caufes the 
whole feries to advance by an uniform mo- 
tion the edye' bars of each mould ; bemy 
thrown and kept back by an obftade or proe 
Jecting piece on each fide of the platform 
previous to its arrival at the cylinder. 
As the moulds advance, a workman who 
ftands near the agitated end fupplies and 
connects other moulds in fuccettion ; the - 
_ moulds are alfo difengaged and taken 
away in fucceffion by a workman whe 
ftands at the other end of the platform. 
By the continuance of this procefs the 
moulds which have received the paper, 
ftuff, or material, which is duly diftri- 
Bored upon their furfaces, do arrive be- 
neath the firft cylinder of which the felt 
web takes off tne paper, and conveys it 
to the firft pair of preffling cylinders, 
whence it proceeds to the fecond pair, 
and afterwards to any fit place of recep- 
tion, And by continuing the faid pro- 
ceéfs, the faid paper, whether laid or wove, 
may be manufactured of an indefinite 
length with feparate moulds.
