Notice of Request to amend Specification.

Patent Office,
Wellington, 13th May, 1908.

A REQUEST for leave to amend the specification relating to 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. 18710.—Robert Louis Howell Murray, of 193 Karangahape Road, Auckland, New Zealand, electrician. Improvements in acetylene-gas generators. (Advertised in Supplement to New Zealand Gazette, No. 6, of 26th January, 1905.)

The nature of the proposed amendment is as follows:—

1. On line 8, page 3, after the word “escape,” to add the words “up to any height desired.”
2. Immediately before the preamble to the claims, to insert the following paragraph:—
   “The construction of the water-supply pipe specified, combined with the independent gas-conduit pipe, avoids the necessity of making two or more joints in the generating-chamber, and prevents any interference with the free exit of gas into the gas-holder from any other generating-chamber of acetylene-gas generators.”
3. In the first claim, to strike out everything after the word “mechanism,” and to insert instead the words “for the purpose set forth, as described and illustrated.”
4. In the second claim, after the word “support,” to strike out the words “up to any height desired,” and after the word “air” to add the words “for the purpose set forth, as described and illustrated.”

The applicant states: “The reason for amendment is so as to more clearly indicate the character of the invention.”
