Patent for an improved apparatus for treating hydrocarbons. This apparatus is for treating comparatively heavy petroleum and other hydrocarbon oils and their distillates and derivatives, in order to produce from such heavy oils a large yield of gasoline or other light, easily volatile liquids. This apparatus will be a safe and efficient way to produce large yield of gasoline and light hydrocarbon liquids from heavy oils and will be free from trouble arising from the accumulation of carbon.

Patent for an apparatus that is used to treat petroleum and other heavy hydrocarbons in order to produce gasoline and other liquid fuels.

Patent for an invention for train cars which "relates to car couplings, and especially to that class of the same which effect an automatic coupling by means of a gravity-hook," (lines 12-15) including instructions and illustrations.

Patent for a new and improved carburetor. This design calls for "the apparatus [to be] submerged in water for the purpose of equalizing the temperature of the carbureting-liquid, and thereby imparting a more uniform illuminating quality to the gas; also obviating the danger of explosion from access of flame to the exterior of the apparatus" (para. 2).

Patent for "Improvements in Combination Drill-Bits and Drill-Shanks" (lines 6-7) including illustrations.

Patent for a combination-plow that "may be combined with facility to form a variety of plows designed for work of different kinds, the present invention being an improvement upon that shown and described in Patent No. 492,462, granted to [the inventor] February 28, 1893" (lines 10-15).
