Abstract: 375,864. Liquid fuel burners. DAWSON, G. E. W., Chessway, Loudwater, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. April 2, 1931, No. 10047. [Class 75 (i).] In a liquid fuel burner of the type in which the fuel is delivered into a stream of air flowing to the burner outlet at one side wall of the air duct, the formation of carbon deposits is prevented by providing the opposite wall of the air duct with additional air inlets and the wall through which fuel is admitted with transverse ridges or serrations. The Figure shows a burner, constructed mainly as described in Specification 354,333, in which oil is fed through a central pipe 3 to a number of fuel ducts 4 leading to an annular trough 5, and from the trough 5 through a larger number of ducts 6 to another annular trough 7 delivering on to a shelf 8. The shelf 8 distributes the fuel into the main air stream 12 passing to the outlet between a burner ring 1 and a deflector 2. An auxiliary air stream 14 entering through apertures regulable by a sliding shutter 11 is added to the fuel-air mixture before it reaches the burner outlet. According to the invention a supplementary air stream 13 is delivered through apertures 10 in the burner ring 1 to deflect the entering fuel away from the ring, and the lower face of the distributer cover 17 and the outer face of the cylinder 23 are formed with annular ridges 24, 25. Some of the apertures 10 may be inclined so as to cause the air to sweep round the annular air duct. The cover 17 is bolted to the deflector 2, a washer being provided as a distance-piece In order to ensure that the oil distributer is correctly positioned relatively to the ring 1, the lower end of the distributing device is coupled to the burner body 19 by a spring catch 20 which resists the upward pressure of a spring 21. Gas is supplied at starting through a pipe 15 and unburnt fuel is drawn off through a pipe 16.

Abstract: 793,487. Sparking plugs. GLOBE-UNION, Inc. April 4, 1956, No. 10356/56. Class 7(4) In a low tension sparking plug, the bottom face 12 of a metal shell electrode 10 forms a first sparking face and is level with the end of an insulator 14, the edge 30 of a thin disc electrode 20 forms a second sparking face, and a layer of insulating material 0.010" thick forms a spark guiding surface and determines the extent of the spark gap. The thickness of the disc 20 is such that erosion causes the edge 30 to recede evenly, and the edge of layer 28 forms a straight extension of the edge 30 and burns away at the same rate as the edge 30 recedes. Fig. 4 shows the effects of the erosion. As the surfaces wear, a fresh part of the face 12 is exposed; the level of the spark, however, remains constant. The disc 20 may be made of a nickel alloy its thickness being about 0.015", and the insulating layer 28 may consist of sheets of mica or a layer of glass fused to the disc 20 and/or the shell 10. The spark guiding surface of the layer 28 is intended to be free of carbon particles, combustion residues and other conductive materials. The disc 20 has a stem 22 connected to a stud 24.

Abstract: 768,418. Magnetic recording discs. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. April 15, 1955 [April 19, 1954], No. 10886/55. Class 40 (2). To compensate for signal amplitude variations due to the decrease of linear speed with which the magnetic track of a magnetic recording disc passes a transducer as the centre of the disc is approached, the disc, comprising at least one layer of magnetizable material, has the amount of residual magnetism which the layer can retain, increasing progressively from the radially outer to the radially inner portions of the disc. As shown, a non-magnetic disc 30 of progressively decreasing thickness towards its centre has two magnetic layers 31, 32 of progressively increasing thickness towards the centre; alternatively the disc 30 may be of uniform thickness with the layers 31, 32 still of varying thickness, and the layers may be applied by pouring around the top centre of the disc a magnetic power evenly distributed in a quick-drying lacquer, and rotating the disc to cause the mixture 23 to flow over it in tapering manner by centrifugal force. The degree of taper may be controlled by selection of the disc speed, the drying speed of the lacquer, and the roughness of the disc prior to coating. The taper alternatively could be produced by cutting or grinding.
