[Also in Croup XIII] A heat exchanger element is formed by expanding a tube into jointing engagement with a set of parallel fins inclined to the axis of the tube. A set of fin elements 8, each comprising a rectangular plate formed with three holes, are set up in a jig, comprising two spaced parallel combs arranged so that their teeth project towards one another, the fins 8 being arranged perpendicular to the axes of the centres of the holes. Three welded steel tubes 1 are then passed through the holes in the fins 8 and through holes in end plates 2, 3 held fixed. One comb is then moved longitudinally relatively to the other to incline the fins 8 and the tubes 1 are expanded by fluid pressure to form expanded joints between the tubes and the plates 2, 3 and fins 8. Other groups of tubes 1 and fins 8 are then assembled between the end plates 2, 3 and these tubes are expanded. Fifteen groups of three tubes and associated fins may be fitted. The projecting ends of the tubes 1 are welded to the outer surfaces of the end plates 2 and 3 and distributers 4 and collectors 6 bolted to the end plates. The holes in the fins 8 may be elliptical in which case a jig with fixed combs may be used and the fins 8 set up obliquely to the tubes. The holes could be circular and this method used. The holes may be punched in the fins 8 to produce a bevel, the tubes 1 being then passed through from the bevel side. The fins may be threaded on to the tubes before positioning in the jig. Any number of tubes or a single tube may be associated with each fin. The thickness of the fins may taper from the holes to the edges.

Title: Process for the manufacture of starch derivatives
Inventor: LEMMERLING JOSE THERESE
IPC: G03C1/95
Filed: 1962-09-14
Abstract: Hydrophobic grains of starch esters are made by treating granular starch with a mixture consisting of (1) an organic acid; (2) an organic acid or chloride and (3) an esterification catalyst in the presence of an organic liquid which is inert to the starch ester to be formed, the treatment being carried out at temperatures varying from room temperature to the boiling-point of the inert liquid, e.g. 40-75 DEG  C., whereupon the granular starch ester is separated and dried. The starch granules may be derived from e.g. maize, rice, wheat, tapioca, sago, sweet potato or batatas, and is preferably dried to a moisture content of 5-15% by weight.  The esterification catalyst may be e.g. sulphuric acid, zinc chloride or perchloric acid.  Specified organic acids, with their respective chlorides or anhydrides are acetic, propionic, butyric, and stearic acids.  The inert organic liquid may be an aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g. benzene, xylene, or toluene, or an ether, e.g. di-isopropyl ether. The proportion by weight of total liquids to total solids in the reaction mixture is preferably 15: 1.  The esterification may be facilitated by allowing the dried starch grains to swell in the organic liquid at room temperature before addition of the reagents.  Examples describe the preparation of rice starch acetate, maize starch butyrate, and maize starch stearate.  The hydrophobic starch grains are used in the manufacture of photographic materials (see Division G2).

Patent GB-352731-A (GB)
Abstract: 352,731. Calculating-machines. MATHYS, A. W., 52, Chancery Lane, London.-(Monroe Calculating Machine Co. ; 555, Mitchell Street, Orange, New Jersey, U.S.A.) July 7, 1930, No. 20569. [Class 106 (i).] Modified for non- decimal denominations. -The setting mechanism can be adjusted so that either ordinary decimal calculations or calculations according to a non-uniform system are effected. In the latter case the depression of a key may result in the setting of the decimal equivalent (relative to the main unit of the system) of the corresponding value. The machine described, which is of the type set forth in Specification 197,352, [Class 106 (i), Calculating &c.], can also be used for British currency calculations by the " fractional " method, in which " pence and " shillings " wheels are provided in the totalizer. When so used, the carriage is in its extreme lefthand position, Fig. 1, and the pence are entered by keys 33. The 10d. and 11d. keys are provided with lateral extensions which engage headless stems 77, 79, Fig. 4, so that they may actuate the rocking bails controlling the differential gears. To perform calculations by the decimal equivalent method, the carriage must be moved at least two places to the right, the keys 33 and non-decimal totalizer wheels 49, 50, 51 then being disabled as described in the prior Specification. The second and third key columns are not operated but their bails are used to set the fifth and fourth decimal places. Shillings and pence are set in the sixth, fifth and fourth columns respectively. Keys in the fourth row 36 are now used as pence keys but are first moved forwards by a handle 103 secured to a sliding frame 96, 98, 99, Fig. 3, in which these keys are carried. The stems are provided with extended cam members which control a plurality of pairs of bails in order to set the decimal equivalent as described in Specification 335,213, [Class 106 (i), Calculating &c.], and the moving forward of the column brings these cam members into a position in which they can engage the appropriate lugs on the bails. The sliding frame 96 is locked in both positions by recesses 105, 106, Fig. 7, on a pin 104 secured to the zero key 37 engaging a slot in a fixed plate 107. The zero key must thus be depressed (and any other depressed keys consequently released) before the frame can be moved. When the frame is in its rear position the cam members engage with the bails of their own denomination only and the machine performs " straight " decimal calculations, the second and third columns being used normally. To set shillings by the decimal equivalent method the small figures in the sixth key column are utilized, an odd number being set with the aid of the " 5 " key of the fifth column. In a modification, Fig. 13, the bails A, B are moved relatively to the key cams by a lever 113 and link 117. At the commencement of its movement a cam 114 on the lever 113 depresses a roller which operates a keyboard clearing lever before the displacement of the bails begins. Specification 216,174, [Class 106 (i), Calculating &c.], is also referred to.
