Notice of Request to amend Specification.

Patent Office,
Wellington, 6th March, 1907.

A REQUEST for leave to amend the specification re-
lating to the undermentioned application has been re-
ceived, and is open to public inspection at this office. Any
person may, at any time from 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. 19090.—Albert Lincoln Johnson, of St. Louis, United
States of America. Corrugated bars. (Advertised in Supple-
ment to New Zealand Gazette, No. 19, of the 8th March, 1906.)
The nature of the proposed amendments is as follows :—
To strike out the words from “ The bevelled edges 4 are in-
clined at an angle ” down to “ greater than the angle of
friction,” inclusive, lines 26 and 27, page 3, and lines 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, page 4, and to insert instead the following: “ The
plane of the bevelled edge is as nearly perpendicular to the
axis of the bar as practicable, and its deviation therefrom
should not exceed the angle of friction for concrete on iron
or steel. Any deviation from the plane perpendicular to the
axis of the bar in excess of such angle of friction is detrimental,
as relative movement of the bar and the surrounding concrete
would be possible, in which case the projections would act
