Patent GB-190808497-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Gramophones, Phonographs or the like Machines.
Inventor: KLABER EMILE HERTZ
Filed: 1908-04-16
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 8497. Klaber, E. H. April 16. Gramophones.-Relates to an apparatus for positioning the needle, in which an adjustable stop for the needle or sound-arm is employed in cooperation with a pointer, and with which a brake may be combined. To a pillar a<1> on a plate a fixed to the gramophone or like casing is pivoted a plate c, the pillar a<1> being surrounded by an adjustable spiral spring h controlling the plate c, one part of which forms a dial. An arm d with a knife-edge and V-grooves g is adjustable along a guiding- groove on the plate c, by a milled head e mounted on cheeks c<1> and engaging a screw-thread d<2>. One of the V-grooves g, according to the size of the record, holds the stylus in position above the record, the position being determined by placing a pointer f, which works in conjunction with the arm d, on the correct mark on the dial. This positioning removes the leather brake block l, depending from the plate c, from the record support, and a trigger k holds the arm d in position by engaging a catch j on the plate c. When the record reaches its full speed, the trigger k is depressed by the operator, and the spring h rotates the plate c, carrying the arm d away from the stylus, which falls on the record. The brake is not immediately applied, since a tooth on the end of the trigger k holds the plate c in an intermediate position. To stop the record finally, the trigger k is raised. It is stated that the arm d may be automatically released when the record attains its maximum speed.

Title: An Improved System of Steering Gear for Automobiles.
Inventor: WALLER GEOFFREY ROSS
IPC: B62D7/15
Filed: 1909-03-29
Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 6712. Waller, G. R. March 20. Deflectable axle-ends and intermediate connexions therefor. - Relates to steering-connexions for all four swivelling axles, of the kind in which the front and rear pairs of wheels may be turned in opposite directions for running round curves, or may be connected so as to deflect in the same direction. The steering hand-wheel a, Fig. 3, is adjustable vertically so as to effect the change from one method of steering to the other, the change being only made when the wheels are in the straightsteering position. The pin 14 on the steering- spindle is then in a position to engage the vertical slot 13 connecting the two circumferential slots 13<1>, 13<2> in the stationary column. A spring or weight tends to keep the steering- spindle in the raised position. Fig. 2 shows the steering-connexions between the wheels. The steering-spindle adjusts the longitudinal rod f operating the front pair of wheels through worm - gearing. The rod f<1> and the rod f<4> operating the rear pair of wheels are connected so as to move in the same or in opposite directions according to whether the end f<3> of the rod f<4> is moved to the outer or inner end of the slotted link f<2>, which is pivoted centrally at f<ÎÎ>, this adjustment being effected by the raising or lowering of the steering hand-wheel. When the two rods move oppositely, the front and rear pairs of wheels are deflected in opposite directions, and the two wheels of each pair deflect unequally in accordance with the Ackermann system, but when the rods are connected so as to move in the same direction, the present construction ensures that the wheels on opposite sides shall deflect through equal angles so as to remain exactly parallel. With this object, the wheels on opposite sides are connected by rods j, j<1>, the inner ends of which move in slotted links l adjustable longitudinally by a rod n. When the end f<3> of the rod f<4> is moved to the outer end of the link f<2>, the rod f<5> is adapted to move rigidly with the link and thus adjust the rod n longitudinally through the rod m and pivoted link m<1> in accordance with the steering adjustments of the steering hand-wheel.

Abstract: 20,432. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. Sept. 7. Shuttles; shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.- Shuttles for automatic weft-replenishing looms are provided with threading-devices, made from two blanks or a single blank of sheet metal, and comprising means to direct the thread into the threadpassage and shuttle-eye and prevent its escape therefrom. In one form, shaped blanks are formed by dies into two members, which are then assembled by sliding the inner into the outer member. The outer member comprises walls b, b', Fig. 6, the wall b having a triangular head b<5>, a horn b<7> with a heel b<7Î> which co-operates with the shuttle-eye to retain the thread, and a beak b<9> at the upper end of the horn, said beak being turned away from the shuttle tip, and the wall b<1> having a shield b<11>. The inner member comprises walls c, c<1>, the wall c' having an inclined projection c<3> and the wall c an inclined thread guard c<6> with a finger c<7> turned towards the beak b<9>. After the members have been assembled, they are secured by turning up the notched extension b<3>, a friction pad F, Fig. 1, being inserted. The complete device is placed in a recessed part of a shuttle, and secured by a bolt passed through holes b<20>, c<20>. A metal liner for the shuttle-eye comprises a tube slotted at e<2>, Fig. 11, cut away at e<1> and notched at e<3>. It is held in position by the upright edge b<19> of the outer wall of the threading-device entering the notch e<3>. When a bobbin is inserted, the thread is directed by the parts c<3>, c‹ into the thread passage C<Î>. At the first pick, the thread is drawn across the convex edge b<12> of. the shield on to the top of the head b<5>. It then slides under the shield and off the beak b<9>, being positively depressed by the edge b<13> of the shield. At the return pick, it is guided between the edge b<6> of the head b<5> and the wall a<2> of the shuttle into the shuttle-eye. In a modified form, the head b<5>, beak b<9>, horn b<7>, and heel b<7Î> are formed on the inner member, as shown in Fig. 17. The outer member is formed with a thread guard b<14>, Fig. 16, convex on its upper edge and concave on its lower edge, its point entering a notch c<14> in the inner member, when the parts are assembled. In order to assemble them, the inner member is inclined, and the beak is passed under the shield b<11>, until a toe c<11> engages a stop on the end of the outer member. The inner member is then swung down, and a projection c<12> wipes into place against the end b<3>. The threading-device may be made from a single blank, shaped to form the various parts as shown in Fig. 24.

Abstract: 27,818. Tauleigne, A. J.-B., and Mayo, E. Nov. 29. Toning; colour photography. -- Relates to a process for transforming an ordinary silver positive into an aniline monochrome. The print is first transformed into an iodide print in two separate stages, namely, first into a chloride print by a 5 per cent solution of bichloride of copper, and then, after washing, into an iodide print by a weak solution of potassium iodide. The print is then immersed in an aniline-dye bath. Suitable combinations of dye baths are selected for monochromes used for stereoscopic projection of for three-colour pictures. A small amount of acetic acid is added to the colour baths. The colour images are washed, and the iodide eliminated either by a strong solution of potassium iodide after hardening in an alum bath, or by a first bath of tannin and then hypo or potassium cyanide. The print is finally washed in water slightly acidulated with acetic acid. As an alternative to fixing after the dyeing-bath and the tanning-bath, the print is redeveloped, the tone of the silver picture thus obtained being modified by the aniline colour.
