    A.D. 1828.—N° 5669. ' is Hall's Improvements in Apparatus for Generating Steam, Qc. as well as other parts of the apparatus, by proper non-conducting substances. I wrap bands round them made of bay which answers very well. Although I have delineated the pistons in the atmospheric and working cylinders, I have to observe that any kind of piston suited for high pressure steam engines will 5 be proper for my Invention. Having now described my method and apparatus, I proceed to state that I do not claim the exclusive use of the cylinders, pistons, beam, valves, cocks, or other parts of the apparatus separately; but I claim as my Invention the method herein-before described, of generating steam and various gasses for 10 the purposes aforesaid, by causing combustion of fuel to take place in an artifi¬ cial atmosphere, such as has been mentioned in the manner and by the method above described. And also I claim the combination of apparatus herein¬ before described as a whole, for the purpose of generating steam and various gasses for the purposes aforesaid, by producing, maintaining, and beneficially 15 applying the aforesaid artificial atmosphere, as herein-before described. In witness whereof, I, the said Samuel Hall, have hereunto set my hand and seal, the Twenty-ninth day of November, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight.
