PATENT SPECIFICATIONS – LANCASHIRE APPLICANTS
(Correct at 24.10.09)
5 each post free, the following Patent Specifications from Lancashire-based applicants. They are approx A4 size, unbound, having been taken from a book. Some have been stapled for security. They were printed by HMSO for The Patent Office and bear the Patent Office Reference Number, which should be quoted, along with the year, when being ordered. The number of pages (pp) of text is shown, but not the number of accompanying drawings, which all of them have. Most bear a library’s stamp. They will be sent on approval to ensure the customer’s satisfaction before payment is made. I have similar lists for Manchester/Salford, Liverpool, Southport, Bolton & Bury-based applicants, as well as some for Cheshire, Yorkshire, Sheffield – based applicants.
