I also claim the combination and arrangement of three cams within two valves, constructed as heroin set forth, and escapes for the steam at recesses behind the valves, as herein described. * JAMES MILLER. No. 4777. Having thus fully described the construction and operation of my rotary cylindrical grain dryer, what I claim therein as new, and desire to secure by letters patent, is the uniting the cylindrical casings with each other, and combining them with the furnace in such a manner as to form a circular heating or drying chamber within the inner casing, an annular space or drying chamber connected with the same, between the outer casing and central casing, and an annular flue space between the central casing and inner casing, substantially as herein set forth. I also claim the giving the grain or other substance acted upon a constantly progressive rotary movement from the front to the rear end of the circular drying chamber, conducting it into the annular space or drying chamber, and returning the same by a reversed movement to its front end, discharging the kiln dryed grain at the spout, by the action of the projecting spiral thread d, connecting pipes and spiral thread g, combined and operating substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth. SEBRE HO WARD. No. 4778.

I have thus described the general character of my invention, and the manner of constructing and using the same ; but before pointing out what I claim as my invention, I wish it to be distinctly understood that I do not limit myself to the precise form and construction of the various parts employed, nor to the precise arrangements described, as I consider all mechanical equivalents as within the limits of my invention; what I claim, therefore, as my invention, and desire to secure by letters patent, 1S1st. The disconnecting of the mechanism employed in running out the carriage and turning the draw rollers from the mechanism, which gives the whirling or spinning motion to the spindles when the driving power is shifted from these, the first series of motions, to enable the spindles to continue their motion by inertia, independent of the other motions, by means of the clutch box, (or its equivalent,) which forms the connexion between the three movements constituting the first series of motions, whereby the momentum of the spindles can be employed for preparing the parts for the backing-off motion, substantially as described. 2d. The method of preparing the parts for the backing-off motion by means of the momentum of the spindles, by connecting them with the backing-off apparatus by means of the friction clutch, or any equivalent therefor, substantially as described. 3d. The backing-off apparatus, consisting of the combination of the top sliding rack, which communicates motion to the spindles; the rocking shaft, with its cam and spring brake and other appendages, and the connecting rod, operated by the crank; all substantially as described. 4th. The method of decreasing the backing-off motion to correspond with the increased length of the cops, by means of the slide in the intermediate arm of the connecting rod, (between the two sections of the connecting rod,) by means of which the rocking motion of the rock shaft is gradually decreased, substantially as described. 5th. Combining the train of wheels which actuate the backing-off motion of the carriage by means of a clutch, substantially as herein described, which admits of the necessary backing-off motion before the tooth of the clutch starts the carriage, whether this be effected by a clutch, or by any other means substantially the same. 6th. Running in the carriage by means of a crank motion, which actuates a sliding rack that communicates the desired motion to the carriage so as to start and arrest it gradually, substantially as described, to avoid any sudden strain or jar upon the threads. 7th. The method of communicating the winding-on motion to the spindles from the main rack, which runs in the carriage, by combining the said main rack with the top sliding rack by means of a chain and scroll cam, or their equivalents, by means of which combination, in connexion with the form of the cam, the motions of the spindles so correspond with that of the carriage as to wind the thread on the conical forms of the cops, as described. Sth. The method of varying the winding-on motion of the spindles, to form the base of the caps, by means of the slide and chain, which vary the motions of the wheel that is attached to and which rotates the scroll cam, substantially as described, whether the slide be operated by the vibration of the arm on which it slides, or by any other means, substantially as herein described. 9th. The method of regulating the motion of the slide that varies the motion of the scroll cam of the winding-on motion, by means of what is termed the butterfly and its appendages, when this is acted upon by the counter faller, operated by the tension of the thread, substantially as described : and 10th. The method of winding on the threads tighter at the points of the cops, when finished, than by means of the apparatus which gives to the top sliding rack an increased motion towards the end of the operation; the said apparatus consisting of a chain, which is connected with the chain that forms the connexion between the main and top rack, and which is gradually wound up, and strikes against an arm towards the end of the operations of the mule to shorten the connexion between the two racks, and thus increase the winding-on motion of the spindle, as described.
