Abstract: 461,850. Controlling change speed gearing. ZAHNRADFABRIK FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AKT.-GES. April 17, 1936, No. 11054. Convention date, May 10, 1935. [Classes 80 (ii) and 80 (iii)] Change-speed gearing for vehicles comprises strikers such as 33, 34 which are picked up and operated singly by selector locking rollers 37 38. The rollers 37, 38 are carried in slots 43, 44 in a longitudinally sliding plate 32 engaged by a manual control lever 31. When the lever moves left of the neutral position shown in Fig. 1, the roller 37 is struck down by a profile plate 48 into engagement with a notch 35 in the striker 33 and held there, so that the striker 33 is carried left to gear position. The roller 38 rides idly out to the notch 36 in the striker 34, which is left in neutral. On the return stroke of the lever 31, the striker 33 is carried back to neutral. Continuing the motion picks up and carries the striker 34 rightward from neutral. This causes a gate 50 carried by the plate 32 to slide slots 54, 55 over a fixed pin 51. To use other slots 56, 57, the plate 32 and a supporting plate 39 are slid together laterally relatively to fixed guides 53 by a lateral displacement of the lever 31. The rollers 37, 38 are thus brought into the plane of a different pair of strikers, not shown, corresponding to these other gate slots. An arrangement is described in which the striking movements of the selector rollers are all in the same direction, intermediately pivoted levers being used to reverse the direction of striking of some of the strikers.

Abstract: 1175585 Making super-conducting wire extruding NORTON CO 13 March 1967 [14 March 1966] 11558/67 Headings H1A and A4D An elongated composite conductor containing a plurality of super-conductive paths made of niobium alloy in a conductor body is made by locating separate wires within the conductor body and force bonding the wires to the body by reducing it in size. The niobium alloys contain 10-90% zirconium or 10-90% titanium or 10-90% zirconium and titanium, each alloy containing 0-10% other elements. An extrusion billet 10 is made from copper and a plurality of holes 18 are drilled therein. Rods of niobium alloy are inserted in the holes, the open ends of which are covered by a zirconium foil 20 and a cap 22. The lip 24 of the cap is welded to the lip 26 of the billet. The composite billet is extruded, at 1200F and the diameter of the billet is reduced from 3À5 inches diameter to 0À75 inch. Next swaging is carried out cold with a 15-20% area reduction per pass to a diameter of 0À3 inch and finally cold drawing is carried out with an area reduction of 15-20% per pass to a diameter of 0À1 inch, the alloy wire diameter being about 0À01-0À015 inch. Heattreatment comprises heating the wire 350-400C for 3-4 hours. The wire may be flattened by drawing through a rectangular die. In an alternative embodiment the conductor is made in hollow form with a lesser degree of reduction. The initial  bonding, in the case of either solid or hollow conductors, may be accomplished by swaging instead of extruding. A strip conductor may be made by extruding the billet in a rectangular die and subsequently rolling the billet to a strip of the required cross-sectional area. The extrusion bonding step required temperatures of 800-1600F and a ram speed of at least 15 inches per minute. It may also be facilitated by using a hard jacket, e.g. steel, around the extrusion billet.
