Thomas Green & Willoughby Green - Patent 3263 - P02

A.D. 1861.-N° 3263. Provisional Specification.

T.&W. Green & Mathers' Impts. in Chains for Giving Motion to Chain Wheels, &c.

The second part of the Invention consists in giving motion to machinery by the combined use of a chain and chain wheels, and friction surfaces, such as a pulley and band or friction wheels, which wheels may either be plain or grooved. By thus using a chain in combination with friction, the chain works more easily and yet with the same certainty as before.
