Title: Improvements in Machines for Successively Numbering the Sheets in Rolls of Paper or Textiles by Printing by Means of Large Figure-printing Devices.
Inventor: GOMPF RUDOLF
IPC: D06H1/02
Filed: 1912-02-26
Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 4771. Gompf, R. Feb. 26. Number-printing apparatus. - To enable small paper or textile sheets, such as labels, to be consecutively numbered with large numerals, the ten numbering-devices are distributed amongst a number of printing- cylinders arranged one behind the other in the direction of the running web, and so adjusted that each of the ten numbering-devices, during one revolution prints one of ten consecutive sheets. In the arrangement shown, the ten numbering-devices i' ... i<10> are mounted in pairs upon five printing-cylinders b, c, d, e, f, working in conjunction with three impression A cylinders k, l, m. The working circumference of each printing-cylinder is equal to the length of ten consecutive sheets, and the numbering- devices on each cylinder are diametrically opposite to each other so that their numerals differ by 5 as shown. The numerals on the various printing-cylinders are adjusted according to the lengths of the web between them and these lengths may be regulated by means of adjustable stretching-rollers r, q between the impression cylinders. To allow the web, after printing, to be re-wound on to a roll t, the sheets are numbered backwards. The sheets may also be consecutively numbered in small type by a numbering-cylinder a provided with ten numbering-devices h and working against the impression cylinder m.

Abstract: 8987. Kennedy, R. S., and British Arc Welding Co. April 16. Soldering; uniting by fusion.-Plates are electrically welded together by drilling holes in one or both plates and filling them with fused reinforcing-metal by means of an arc formed between the work and a rod of the reinforcing-metal, the welding being also effected round the edge of the smaller plate. In the form shown in Fig. 2 in which a patch a is joined to a plate b over a fissure, the fissure is filled with fused metal f, and the holes with metal d, fused metal e being filled in round the edge of the patch.
