Title: Improvements in Moulding Apparatus for Casting in Metal.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1904-07-12
Granted: 1905-06-22
Abstract: 15,536. Newton, H. E., [Hoe, R.]. July 12. Casting and moulding. - A mould for casting stereotype plates and other articles is formed in two parts, of which one half is convex and hollow for the circulation of cold water and is vertically fixed to two side-frames, while the other half is concave and runs on rollers along the side-frames. A convex part A of the mould is fitted at the back with inlet and outlet pipes for water, and is vertically fixed to two side-frames C which have curved paths c<1>, c<2> on which run rollers E, F, mounted on pins on the side of the concave movable part D. These paths are so shaped that the centre of gravity of the concave part D always remains in the same horizontal plane, so that the concave part D may be easily rolled, by means of handles G, from its vertical position against the convex part A into the horizontal position shown in Fig. 1, and vice versÔ. When in its horizontal position, the matrix is inserted and is held by hinged side gauges K, while a strap L, provided with two handles and secured in any convenient manner, covers over the bottom end of the matrix. The concave part D is then rolled into its vertical position, when a pin H<1> enters the jaws of a cam-piece M and a pin H enters a slot in a cam N. A handle R, connected to the cam N by a shaft P and to the cam-piece M by a link Q and a rocking shaft 0, is then operated and causes the concave part to be drawn closely against the convex part. The molten metal is then poured in from a spout connected to a melting-pot by a pump.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Regulation of Alternating Electric Distributing Systems.
Filed: 1904-10-27
Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 23,205. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges.]. Oct. 27. Dynamos, regulating ;motors, controlling.-In alternating-current distribution in which fluctuations are taken up by an auxiliary machine provided with a flywheel or the like, the auxiliary machine is a commutator motor excited in accordance with the load and arranged so that its speed tends to decrease with an increased load. In the three-phase arrangement shown in Fig. 1, in which G is a generator and m a load, the auxiliary machine B is coupled to the flywheel f and both stator and rotor are supplied from the mains, the former direct and the latter through series transformers T or in series with the mains. Instead of regulating the machine by the current in the system, it may be regulated by means of an automatic switch, as shown in Fig. 2, in which the inductive resistance R in the rotor circuit is varied by the lever l, the position of which depends upon the currents in the system. The arm is controlled by two small motors m, m<1> acting in opposition, one increasing the pull with increasing current and the other acting in the opposite manner. Other means of regulating the phase or voltage may be employed, such as a variable-ratio transformer.

Title: Improved Means for Actuating Safety Appliances or Indicating Apparatus of Railway Lines
Filed: 1906-06-30
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 14,946. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. June 30. Contacts, electric.-A safety appliance 8 on the track is actuated only when the last axle of a train leaves a section, but the circuit is prepared for action by the train opening a contact, either directly or through a relay which is set when the signal is set for the passage of the train. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the circuit to the magnet 2 is closed through the track contact 4 when the line is set for a train. The contact 5 is therefore broken and the magnet 6 is de-energized until the train opens the contact 4 and so completes the circuit through the magnet 6, contact 5, and rail 10 to earth through the train wheels, and also through the contact 7 and safety'appliance 8, which is not actuated until the shunt circuit through the axles and wheels of the train is broken when the last axle leaves the section. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the two magnets 2, 6 are oppositely wound and neutralize one another if both are energized. The armature 6 is not attracted until the train on the section opens the contact 4, thus de-energizing the magnet 2 and causing the magnet 6 to attract the armature.
