or directly to a load to be weighed, and the other strap being connected to a hanging weight—the steelyard or the load to be weighed thus pulling on one strap, while the hanging weight pulls on the other strap to resist the pull aforesaid of the load or the steelyard: that is to say, the band or cord winding and unwinding upon the cam may be connected either directly or indirectly to the load to be weighed, or it may be connected either directly or indirectly to a hanging weight, the gravity of which must be overcome to weigh the load. The invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts described and claimed.

No. 26553.—9th September, 1909.—ROBERT BENJAMIN WILLIAMS, of Winton, New Zealand, Commission Agent. An improved branding-appliance.*

Extract from Specification.—The brand is formed of two metal sheets secured together with asbestos or other non-conductor heat placed between them. In this double sheet, the design of the brand is cut as a stencil. This brand is attached to the flare-lamp in such a position that its flame will be directed mainly on to the stencilled portion, in order that the heat therefrom will pass through the cut-out portions. The brand is secured to the lamp by telescoping-pins surrounded by spring cushions in order that it will press evenly on the surface to be branded. The lamp is provided with a handle by means of which the brand may be pressed upon the branding-surface. The asbestos lining between the two plates will serve to prevent the front plate being heated to any appreciable extent, and will thereby provide for only the part left exposed by the stencilled design being burnt by the lamp-flame.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
