Abstract: 1239. Wilkinson, A. Jan. 16. Portable checking and recording clocks for pigeon races. In an apparatus for timing the flight of pigeons &c., the front and back covers of the clock-casing are locked by means of an intermittently-operated slide, which also operates mechanism for pricking or punching timedriven disks. The cover-plates 2, 3 have sidenotched projections 13 which engage lugs 14 on the sides of the casing, pins 16 passing through the rims of the cover-plates. Lugs 20 on the cover-plates engage notches 21 in the top 4 of the casing and are held by projections 24 on a slide 5, shown separately in Fig. 13, which carries a rack 27 engaged by a pinion on an operating milled head 25. The slide also carries compartments a, b, c, Fig. 8, into which the rings from the birds are placed as the compartments are brought in turn below an aperture in the top of the casing. The clock-rotated time cards, for minutes and hours respectively, are pricked by a pin 32 which is operated by a lever 33. One end of this lever is engaged by a catch 34 at the end of a second lever 36, which carries an inclined block 46, adapted to be engaged at each movement of the slide, by projections 45 thereon. Springs 40, 42 return the levers 33, 36 to their normal positions. By means of a push-pin 55 the lever 36 may be displaced to allow the slide to be reset. The recording-pin 32 is mounted in a vertical slot in the lever 33 and passes through a plate (not shown), which is forced towards the centre of the time disks by an incline 53 on the slide 5.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Secondary Clocks.
Inventor: RUSHTON THOMAS
IPC: G04C13/08
Filed: 1912-11-15
Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 26,309. Rushton, T. Nov. 15. Electric clocks.-The secondary clocks provided with means for driving the hands either backwards or forwards, the electro-magnetic step-by-step mechanism comprises an armature or a pair of connected armatures capable of both rotary and longitudinal movement upon a spindle. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a spindle 2, on which is a worm 3 for driving the hands, is provided with two fast disks 15, 16, having pins 17, 18, adapted to engage in holes in the faces of ratchet-wheels 10, 11. These wheels are loosely mounted on bosses secured to the armatures 7, 8 of two electro-magnets 5, 6, and are engaged by pawls carried by the armatures, which are themselves loose on the spindle 2. A brass strip 9 connects, and by its weight normally tilts, the armatures. The disks 15, 16 and the ratchet-wheels are so spaced that when one wheel is in driving engagement with its disk, the other is disengaged. The teeth of the wheels 10, 11 are oppositely disposed, so that the wheels are adapted to drive the spindle in opposite directions when the respective electro-magnets are energized. When current-impulses are transmitted to either electromagnet, if the corresponding ratchet-wheel is disengaged, longitudinal movement of the armatures along the spindle first takes place, to bring the wheel into engagement with the pin 17 or 18 on the corresponding disk. An alternative construction is described in which a single armature, which is polarized, is used in conjunction with two electromagnets connected in series. In this case, to reverse the direction of drive, the direction of the currentimpulses must be reversed. A further modification is mentioned in which currents of different strength, but in the same direction, may be employed, the armature baing caused to move along the spindle against the action of a spring.

Title: Treatment of Zinc or Copper Ores, Ashes, Waste and Chippings.
Inventor: BOURGEOT FERNAND
IPC: C22B3/06
Filed: 1913-07-10
Granted: 1914-07-10
Abstract: 15,943. Bourgeot, F. Aug. 3, 1912, [Convention date]. Chloridizing; roasting; sulphatizing. - Ores, ashes, chippings, &c. containing zinc are roasted if sulphur is present and then transferred to a receptacle in which they are treated with compressed ozone, to render iron insoluble. The roasted material, or raw material if free from sulphur, is treated in closed vessels with sulphuric or hydrochloric acid with the simultaneous action of steam under pressure, ozone under pressure, and direct or alternating electric current, the result being to obtain a solution of zinc free from iron, copper, and lead, the two latter metals being kept out of solution by the electric current. If copper predominates, the electrolysis is conducted separately from the acid treatment, copper being first dissolved with the zinc and then deposited. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states that a solution of copper salt is obtained; that ores containing precious metals are roasted with a chloride such as sodium chloride, treated with compressed ozone, leached with a solution of "hyposulphite" and the zinc or copper salts precipitated, while the precious metals remain in the residue. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
