169 - Godefroid SIRTAINE (1837 - ) (1) [1]

Richard Godefroid SIRTAINE was an industriel residing in Verviers.

On 24 June 1875, Mathieu MULLENDORFF [2], conseiller de Gouvernement, as representative of SIRTAINE, applied for a brevet d'importation for an invention entitled:

Mode d’application des gaz à l’échardonnage des laines et à toutes opérations de désagrégation des matières végétales

Although the application was entered in the Patent Register, no corresponding administrative file could be located in the National Archives and no patent was granted.

It is very likely that this application was "suspended" or withdrawn and taken up again in 1878 (see No 225). [3]

The application was probably based on SIRTAIN’s application of 8 November 1872 in France. [4]
