Brief Description of Patent: My present invention is an apparatus for spreading tar upon roads, pavements, yards, and the like, but more especially upon macadam roads, its object being to provide an inexpensive apparatus which can be attached without difficulty to an ordinary water cart, instead of necessitating  the designing and building of a special vehicle for the purpose...

Condition: Slight crinkling. Pages loose. Wear to left hand edge where patent has been removed from the volume. 

This was sold by a Library and has their stamp impression on some of the pages/drawings. Multiple Item Postage: Patents can be combined for postage costs, the cost is the same whether you purchase one or several, so check out our Ebay Shop patent listings as well. This patent specification has been disbound from a volume of 100 different patents. This is an original HMSO published item at the time, not a modern copy as are being sold elsewhere. The drawings are often ideal for framing. It is part of a collection of several volumes from the 1893-1900,1907 & 1920/50's that I have from which individual patents will be sold over the next few years.
