HOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said William Hargreaves, junior, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention, and the manner in which the same is to be performed, are described 5 and ascertained by the Drawing hereunto annexed, and forming part thereof, and the words and figures following, that is to say The nature of this Invention, and the principle of construction which forms the basis thereof, consist in certain new mechanical combinations and arrange¬ ments of parts hereafter mentioned and described, constituting machinery or 10 furnace apparatus whereby the means of consuming smoke or carbon and other impurities evolved in the combustion of coal or other fuel when used in boiler furnaces, or in any other description of furnace suitable for such apparatus, and thereby to increase the power of fuel, and thus economise heat and effect a saving in the consumption of coal, and consequently the cost attendant upon 15 the working of steam machinery or other motive power; and further in this my said Invention, as described for the above two-fold purpose of consuming smoke and economising fuel, I also combine various mechanical arrangements of parts of the apparatus which are applicable to the purpose of generating steam, such parts not having been used or applied heretofore in the same 20 manner in common furnaces or those wherein the consumption of smoke was a primary object. In proceeding to describe my said Invention and apparatus, as drawn and set forth in the plan, elevation, section, and details hereunto attached and referred to throughout and in connection with this Specification, and for the 25 clear understanding of the various parts thereof, I here set forth the following detailed references to the various mechanical parts of which the aforesaid machinery or furnace apparatus is composed, and which said detailed references and Drawings together are fully sufficient for the construction of my said Invention in all its parts and details for the purpose of obtaining the results in 30 practice set forth in the title of this my said Invention, and as hereafter exemplified in the description contained in this Specification under the heads corresponding with the title, viz1, consumption of smoke, and generation of steam, and economy of fuel. Here follow the references to the Drawings by letters marked thereon for the purpose herein-before explained. 35 Description of Drawings.
