Wellington, 17th February, 1904.

REQUEST for leave to amend the undermentioned application for Letters Patent has been received, and is open to public inspection at this office. Any person may, at any time within one month from the date of this Gazette, give me notice in writing of opposition to the amendments. Such notice must set forth the particular grounds of objection, and be in duplicate. A fee of 10s. is payable thereon.

No. 16140.—26th March, 1903.—Philip Magnus, of 52, Harmsworth Street, Collingwood, Victoria, Collector. Improvements in pneumatic tires.

The nature of the proposed amendments is as follows:—

1. To strike out lines 1, 2, and 3, page 2, of the specification, and to insert instead the following: “This invention relates to pneumatic tires for vehicles, and provides more especially improvements in the construction thereof and in the mode of securing them in the rims of wheels, and an improved process for treating leather to be used in the construction of said tires, whereby the leather is impregnated and faced with a coating of rubber and a tire of great durability and power to resist moisture and puncture is obtained.”

2. To insert at the end of page 4, before the preamble to the claims on page 5, the following: “I desire it to be understood that I lay no claim to the exclusive use of leather in the construction of a cover, casing, or tread-ring for tires, nor do I claim any new mode of tanning leather. What I do claim as new and part of my invention is my process of treating leather whereby it becomes impregnated and faced with a coating of rubber; the rubber during the process being used in solutions in which the leather is immersed as described herein.”

The applicant states, “My reasons for making this amendment are as follows: For the fuller explanation of my invention.”
