No. 22725.—24th April, 1907.—EDWIN COOMBS, of Lily-
dale Grove, Auburn, Victoria, Australia, Plasterer. Im-
provements relating to fibrous plastering or the like.

Extract from Specification.—Usually I nail up laths B
somewhere between about 2 in. and 6 in. apart. I take
freely apertured textile material (fireproofed when desired)
as strong scrim C and staple or fix this to the laths with
under-surfaces at the desired level; but in some cases I first
secure to the laths wire-netting, which may be galvanised.
In other cases I use scrim or canvas interwoven in which are
metallic strands or wires or stiffening-material. Further, I
take canvas or textile material D, dip and well saturate or
cover it with liquid plaster-of-paris, suitable cement, or bind-
ing composition, lay it between the joists upon the laths,
bringing it into contact with material B so that the plaster-of-
paris or cement penetrates the apertures of and keys to and
binds the latter, whereby when the said plaster, cement, or
binding composition (which has in it any desired fireproofing
or other ingredients known to be serviceable in ceiling or other
plaster) has thoroughly set all the textile sheets are part of
one united mass.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place
of the claims.]

No. 22737.—25th April, 1907.—AKTIEBOLAGET BALTIC-
SEPARATOR, of Centralpalatset, Rodbodtorget 1, Stockholm,
Sweden, a company duly registered under the Swedish laws
(assignees of Johannes Valdemar Marten Risberg, of Kanal-
strand 3, Sodertelje, Sweden, Engineer). Improvements in
the manufacture of butter.

Claims.—(1.) The method of continually manufacturing
butter characterized by the fact that the cream, led into
a rotating-drum, is drawn off by a stripping-pipe, and by the
pressure thus effected is caused to pass through a stationary
chamber or channel, located outside the drum, and provided
with obstacles to the movement of the cream, and of such a
capacity that the cream passes through the same at a reduced
speed, so that a comparatively slow butter-formation takes
place. (2.) In the method stated in claim 1, the method of,
after the cream has passed through the churning-chamber,
returning the cream into the drum, for the purpose that parts
of the cream, which possibly are not ready churned, may
again pass through the said chamber.
