    JN° 21,012 A.D. 1903 Date of Application, 30th Sept., 1903 Complete Specification Left, 26th Oct., 1903—Accepted, 26th Nov., 1903 PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION. “ Improved Construction of Apparatus for Filtering, Humidifying or Disinfecting Air to be Supplied to Buildings.” I, James Stott, of Vernon Works, Lee Street, Oldham, Lancashire, Gras, Ventilating, and Heating Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven¬ tion to be as follows : — The object of this invention is to construct an apparatus for efficiently filter- 5 ing or humidifying air to be supplied to buildings. For the purpose of my invention I construct the apparatus of two or more tubular bodies or frames arranged concentrically or otherwise, such bodies or frames being covered with cocoa fibre or other fabric or woven, knitted, per¬ forated, or other material. These tubular bodies are supported by bearings and 10 one or more or all are capable of rotation in the same or opposite directions and at the same or different speeds , and such tubular bodies are situate in a trough or troughs which may contain water or a disinfecting liquid. One end of each tubular body is closed either by the material with which it is covered or by a different material and when the tubular bodies are arranged 15 concentrically the other end between the edge of the outer tube or tubes and the edge of the inner or next tube is closed also, the centre tube only being open at one end and this open end is in connection with a fan or other suction or blowing appliance which sucks or forces the air through the fabric surround¬ ing all the tubular bodies and so purifies, disinfects, humidifies, or otherwise 20 treats the air before being passed to a building. When a liquid is in the trough the tubular bodies are always kept wet so that the air will become humidified or disinfected according to the material placed in the trough and by reason of the end of the outer tube being closed all the air must pass through the fabric surrounding the tubes and so become thoroughly treated. 2 > Dated this 30th day of September 1903.
