In the above description I have confined myself to speaking of artificial fuel, but similsr presses may be made with proper moulds for making bricks ; but in place of having the brick-earth in a plastic state, it will require to have 5 only so much moisture as to be in a granular state. Having thus described the nature of my Invention, and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I would have it understood that I do not confine myself to the details herein described, so long as the peculiar character of the combination of pressing machinery be retained; but what I claim is the mode 10 of combining mechanical parts into a machine, as explained. In witness whereof, I, the said Thomas Snowdon, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord One 4 thousand eight hundred and forty-nine. (l.s.) THOMAS SNOWDON. 15 AND BE IT REMEMBERED, that on the Sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord 1849, the aforesaid Thomas Snowdon came before our said Lady the Queen in Her Chancery, and acknowledged the Specification afore¬ said, and all and every thing therein contained and specified, in form above written. And also the Specification aforesaid was stamped according to the 20 tenor of the Statute made for that purpose. Enrolled the Sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and forty-nine.
