CAVEATS, COPYRIGHTS, TRADE MARKS, ETC.
Messrs. Munn & Co., in connection with the publication of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, continue to examine Improvements, and to act as Solicitors of Patents for Inventors.
In this line of business they have had OVER THIRTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE, and now have unequaled facilities for the preparation of Patent Drawings, Specifications, and the Prosecution of Applications for Patents in the United States, Canada, and Foreign Countries. Messrs. Munn & Co. also attend to the preparation of Caveats, Trade Mark Regulations, Copyrights for Books, Labels, Reissues, Assignments, and Reports on Infringements of Patents. All business intrusted to them is done with special care and promptness, on very moderate terms.
We send free of charge, on application, a pamphlet containing further information about Patents and how to procure them; directions concerning Trade Marks, Copyrights, Designs, Patents, Appeals, Reissues, Infringements, Assignments, Rejected Cases, Hints on the Sale of Patents, etc.
Foreign Patents.—We also send, free of charge, a Synopsis of Foreign Patent Laws, showing the cost and method of securing patents in all the principal countries of the world. American inventors should bear in mind that, as a general rule, any invention that is valuable to the patentee in this country is worth equally as much in England and some other foreign countries. Five patents—embracing Canadian, English, German, French, and Belgian—will secure to an inventor the exclusive monopoly to his discovery among about ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLIONS of the most intelligent people in the world. The facilities of business and steam communication are such that patents can be obtained abroad by our citizens almost as easily as at home. The expense to apply for an English patent is $75; German, $100; French, $100; Belgian, $100; Canadian, $50.
Copies of Patents.—Persons desiring any patent issued from 1836 to November 26, 1867, can be supplied with official copies at reasonable cost, the price depending upon the extent of drawings and length of specifications.
Any patent issued since November 27, 1867, at which time the Patent Office commenced printing the drawings and specifications, may be had by remitting to this office $1.
A copy of the claims of any patent issued since 1836 will be furnished for $1.
When ordering copies, please to remit for the same as above, and state name of patentee, title of invention, and date of patent.
A pamphlet, containing full directions for obtaining United States patents sent free. A handsomely bound Reference Book, gilt edges, contains 140 pages and many engravings and tables important to every patentee and mechanic, and is a useful hand book of reference for everybody. Price 25 cents, mailed free.

TYPE-METAL RELIEF PLATES. A SUPERIOR SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD-CUTS AT MUCH LOWER PRICES.
Persons desiring illustrations for Books, Newspapers, Catalogues, Advertisements, or for any other purposes, can have their work done by us promptly and in the best style.
OUR RELIEF PLATES are engraved by photo-chemical means; are mounted on blocks type-high ready for use on any ordinary press, and will wear longer than the common stereotype plates.
They have a perfectly smooth printing surface, and the lines are as deep, as even, and as sharp as they could possibly be cut by hand.
ELECTROTYPES may be made from them in the same manner as from wood-cuts.
COPY. The engraving is done either from prints or pen-drawings. Almost all kinds of prints can be re-engraved directly from the copy, provided they be in clear, black lines or stipple, and on white or only slightly tinted paper.
Pen drawings, suitable for engraving by us, must be made with thoroughly BLACK ink, on smooth, white paper. They should usually be made twice the length and twice the width of the plates desired.
When such drawings cannot be furnished us, we can produce them from photographs, pencil sketches, or designs of any kind accompanied with proper instructions. Photographs taken in the usual way, and of any convenient size, we can use.
CHANGE OF SIZE.—Wood-cut prints of the coarser kind may often be reduced to half their lineal dimensions, while others will admit of very little reduction, and some of none at all.
Most lithographic and steel-plate prints will admit of no reduction.
Very fine prints of any kind may be enlarged moderately without detriment.
Any prints which cannot be satisfactorily reduced or enlarged may be redrawn and thus brought to any desired size.
In all cases of reduction and enlargement, the relative proportions remain unchanged.
PROOFS.—Whenever desired, we will furnish tintype proofs of the drawings made by us, for approval or correction, before engraving. A printed proof is furnished with each plate.
TIME.—We cannot usually engage to fill an order for a single plate in less than from three to six days; larger orders will require longer time.
ESTIMATES will be promptly furnished when desired. That these may be definite and correct, the copy to be used—whether print, photograph, sketch, or drawing—should always be submitted for our examination, together with a distinct statement of the size of plate wanted, and of any other details to be observed.
TERMS.—To insure attention, all orders must be accompanied by an advance of half the price charged, the balance to be paid on delivery.
ELECTROTYPING AND PRINTING.—We have recently added to our establishment excellent facilities for making electrotypes, and also three power presses specially fitted for printing plates of all sizes in the finest manner.
ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.—We have just introduced this most important facility, which enables us to prosecute our work in cloudy weather, and to push forward hurried orders in the night.
REFERENCES.—Our plates are now used by the principal publishers in this city, and by most of the leading houses in every State in the Union.
OUR GENERAL CIRCULAR contains a few specimens of the various kinds of our work, and will be sent on receipt of stamp. We have just prepared five special circulars, as follows:
No. 1. Portraits and Figures. No. 2. Buildings and Landscapes. No. 3. Machinery and Apparatus. No. 4. Maps, Autographs, and Ornamental Lettering. No. 5. Reproductions from Wood-Cuts, Steel-Plate Prints, and Lithographs.

THE UNION IRON MILLS. Pittsburgh, Pa., Manufacturers of improved wrought iron Beams and Girders (patented).
The great fall which has taken place in the prices of Iron, and especially in Beams used in the construction of FIRE PROOF BUILDINGS, induces us to call the special attention of Engineers, Architects, and Builders to the undoubted advantages of now erecting Fire Proof structures; and by reference to pages 52 & 54 of our Book of Sections—which will be sent on application to those contemplating the erection of fire proof buildings—THE COST CAN BE ACCURATELY CALCULATED, the cost of Insurance avoided, and the serious losses and interruption to business caused by fire; these and like considerations fully justify any additional first cost. It is believed, that, were owners fully aware of the small difference which now exists between the use of Wood and Iron, in many cases the latter would be adopted. We shall be pleased to furnish estimates for all the Beams complete, for any specific structure, so that the difference in cost may at once be ascertained. Address
