No. 13257.—14th December, 1900.—WILLIAM ERNEST
HUGHES, of Queen’s Chambers, Wellington, New Zealand,
Patent Agent (nominee of William Andrew Bole, of 722,
South Negley Avenue, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, United
States of America, Engineer, and Edwin Ruud, of 214, Wood
Street, Pittsburg aforesaid Engineer). Improvements in
gasifiers for internal-combustion engines.

Claims.—(1.) In a gasoline-saturation plant, a saturating-
chamber the flow of air through which is only restricted by
the requirements of the engine to which it is supplied after
saturation, and having a continuous supply of gasoline, the
unused portion of which escapes at the bottom of the
chamber, with means for maintaining the desired tempera-
ture in the interior of the chamber, substantially as de-
scribed. (2.) The means for regulating the flow of water
supplied to the jacket of a gasoline-saturating chamber in
accordance with the temperature of the chamber, substan-
tially as described with reference to the drawings. (3.) In
a gasoline-saturation plant, a saturating-chamber constructed
substantially as described with reference to the drawings.
(4.) A gasoline-saturating chamber having a water-jacket
connected by pipes with the water-jacket of an internal-
combustion-engine cylinder, and with or without thermo-
static means for regulating the flow of water round the
water-jacket of the saturating-chamber in accordance with
the temperature thereof, substantially as described. (5.) The

No. 13261.—20th December, 1900.—ALBERT GOSS, of 197,
Trenton Avenue, Paterson, New Jersey, United States of
America, Silk-worker. Warp-twisting-in machine.

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to
twisting-machines, and its object is to provide a machine of
this nature whose special adaptation is the twisting-together
and thus uniting of the ends of threads or other similar
filaments. I have constructed such a machine with the idea
mainly of applying it to the operation of “twisting in” new
warps in the process of weaving, and thus employing it to
supersede the usual hand operation, which is tedious, and in-
volves considerable expense in the matter of time and labour
necessarily employed. The invention consists in the machine
for twisting together and thus uniting the ends of threads
or other similar filaments, constructed substantially as de-
scribed and embodied finally in the clauses of the claim.
[NOTE.—The number and length of the claims in this case pre-
clude them from being printed, and the foregoing extract from the
specification is inserted instead.]

No. 13262.—20th December, 1900.—THOMAS GARE, of
Bramble Beach, Warren Drive, New Brighton, Chester,
England, Engineer. Improvements in and connected with
elastic tires.

Claims.—(1.) In elastic tires, a round, oval, or similarly sec-
tioned ring wholly or partly of steel, forming a wearing-
surface, in combination with a V or similar grooved elastic
bed in a channelled sectioned rim, the said groove being so
shaped as to support the said ring or wearing-surface mainly
at the sides, all substantially as and for the purpose set
forth. (2.) In an elastic tire comprising a ring or wearing-
surface seated in a V or similarly grooved elastic bed, so as
to be mainly supported at the sides, imbedding the said
ring at the sides in the said groove by gradual cramping or
compression, and when open connecting the said ends
together whilst in the cramp, all substantially as and for the
purpose set forth. (3.) In an elastic tire, comprising an open
tubular ring or wearing-surface cramped into a V or simi-
larly grooved elastic bed, so as to become imbedded at the
sides, a tongue for joining the ends of the said ring together
whilst in the cramp, all substantially as set forth.
(Specification, 4s.; drawings, 1s.)

No. 13273.—27th December, 1900.—JOHN HARRIS LEONARD,
of Motueka, near Nelson, New Zealand, Saddler. Improve-
ment in horse-covers.

Claims.—(1.) In a horse-cover, straps secured to cover as
at D, adjustable in length round the body of the horse, and
fastened by means of buckles attached to short straps fixed
to surcingle and crossed under the belly of the horse, sub-
stantially as set forth, and as illustrated on drawings.
(2.) The improvement in horse-covers consisting of parts
constructed and arranged substantially as set forth.

No. 13275.—28th December, 1900.—LANSTON MONOTYPE
MACHINE COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Virginia, United States of
America, and having its principal place of business at Wash-
ington, Columbia, United States of America (assignees of
Tolbert Lanston, of 1101, O Street, North West, Washington
aforesaid, Gentleman). Improvements in machines for pre-
paring the perforated record strips of type-forming machines.

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to and
constitutes an improvement upon paper-perforating machines
of the class described in prior Patent No. 10005, dated 18th
October, 1897. These machines are specially organized to
produce the perforated records or controllers employed in
the Lanston monotype system for governing the action of
the type-forming mechanism in the production of justified
lines of type. The essential elements of such a machine are
a paper-feed device for advancing the strip at regular inter-
vals and holding it in position to receive the punches; a
punching-mechanism for forming the perforations represent-
ing separate types, points, spaces, &c., the setting of the
justifying-mechanism, and the starting of the galley-mechan-
ism; a line-register; a space-counting device; a justifica-
tion-indicator; a series of keys; and a resetting-mechanism
for restoring the various parts to their normal or zero posi-
tions. With the exception of the resetting-mechanism, all
of the enumerated elements are controlled in their action
from a keyboard, and the present invention has to do with
and is embodied in the connected actuating-mechanism
through which the keys of the keyboard are enabled to act-
uate and control the motions of the other elements, together
with a resetting-mechanism specially designed to operate in
conjunction with said actuating-mechanism.

clude them from being printed, and the foregoing extract from the
descriptive part of the specification is inserted instead.]
