The ester mixture may be purified before hydrogenating and also after hydrogenating by the usual methods, such as with fuller's earth.  The fatty acids may be esterified by the process of Specification 642,718, [Group IV (b)], using camphorsulphonic acid as the esterification catalyst.
Patent GB-507300-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in alarm apparatus responsive to signals transmitted over electric lighting networks
IPC: G08B27/00
Filed: 1938-11-26
Abstract: 507,300. Electric signalling systems; switches. POLIDORI, A. Nov. 26, 1938, No. 34513. [Class 40 (i)] [Also in Group XXXVII] In an alarm system more particularly for giving air-raid alarms, the alarm devices, e.g. electric bells, are operated by switches connected to the ordinary electric distribution network and operated in response to the re-establishment of the network current after an interruption of predetermined duration.- The responsive device for operating each alarm 17 comprises an electromagnet which is normally energized by the network current to hold a core 2, 3 in its upper position. The part 3 has teeth and notches 5, 6 which co-operate with a pawl 12 carried on a pivoted lever 9 which controls the alarm contacts 15, 16. The lever 9 is biassed to the position shown by a spring 10 and downward movement of the core 2, 3 is time-controlled by a dashpot 8. When it is desired to operate the alarm, the network current is interrupted and the core 2, 3 falls slowly until when the teeth 4 are opposite to the pawl, the current is re-established and the core is raised to operate the lever 9 through the intermediary of the teeth and pawl and close the alarm circuit. During the downward movement of the core, the pawl is deflected downwardly so that it is positioned to enter readily into one of the teeth when the current is re-established. A thermal switch 20 is included in the circuit of the electromagnet and is operated after a time-period by a heating resistance 19 in the alarm circuit to de-energize the electromagnet 1 and allow the core 2, 3 to fall and open the alarm circuit. Opening of the alarm circuit restores the switch 20 and the electromagnet is re-energized to raise the core into its normal upper position. Upon a normal interruption of the network current, the teeth 4 slide past the pawl without operating the alarm. In modifications, the rack 4 may be replaced by a toothed wheel or sector and an eddy-current brake may be used instead of the dashpot 8.

Patent GB-901232-A (GB)
Title: Feed control means for intermittently feeding a tool
IPC: B23B47/20
Filed: 1960-10-10
Abstract: 901,232. Drilling. HULLER G.m.b.H., KARL. Oct. 10, 1960 [April 9, 1960], No. 34603/60. Class 83 (3). A deep hole drilling machine comprises means for rapidly traversing a tool-carrying table 11, feeding it to a given depth and rapidly returning it, the table carrying a rod 26 bearing a rapid traverse slide block 30 and a feed slide block 32, and the rapid traverse slide block carrying means to actuate a stationary switch and initiate feed by stopping the rapid traverse block and releasing the feed block. In the initial position, the block 32 abuts the block 30 which abuts a tappet 70 and depresses a safety switch 40. When the machine is switched on, the table 11, together with the spindle 15 and the blocks, advances to the work. When a ramp 44 on the block 30 engages a roller 57, a rod 54 is pushed downwardly to actuate a valve and initiate feed and a stop 60 is moved downwardly to disengage a stop 47 on the block 32 allowing it to move forwardly. After a short travel, the front face of the block 30 engages an adjustable stop 52 and slips on the rod 26. Feed continues until a projection 45 on the block 32 engages an adjustable switch 65 causing electromagnets to be operated to reverse the table at rapid traverse speed. As the table returns, a cam 76 on the far side of the table engages a switch 79 to reverse the table movement again. As the table advances, the stop 47 on the block 32 engages the stop 60 and the block slips on the rod 26 until the block 30 again depresses the roller 57 and the stop 60. The cycle is then repeated. The final depth of feed is determined by a cam 77 on the far side of the table actuating a switch 80, the final retracted movement and stopping of the machine being determined by another cam 75 actuating a switch 78. Actuation of the switch 80 raises the tappet 70 which engages the blocks 30, 32 as they return and slides them to their initial positions on the rod 26.

Title: An improved method of and apparatus for feeding webs or strips
IPC: G03D3/14
Filed: 1929-11-13
Abstract: 343,137. Feeding webs. KODAK, Ltd. and SMITH, K. S., Kodak House, Kingsway, London. Nov. 13, 1929, No. 34609. [Class 100 (i).] A method of feeding a strip or web of flexible material in loop formation, and particularly for feeding a photographic film through developing &c. apparatus, consists in alternately extending and diminishing some or all of the loops while maintaining the material between the last loop and the winding reel or equivalent in a taut condition so as to take up the slack periodically formed in the web. As shown, two films F pass in loop form through developing, rinsing, fixing, and washing baths A, A<1>, A<2>, A<3> respectively, and a drying chamber A<4> to winding reels 6 driven intermittently through friction ratchet gear and prevented from backward rotation by a pawl G<1> engaging a fixed ratchet wheel. The films are looped between lower stationary rollers E<1>, Fig. 2, and upper rollers E freely mounted on shafts D3 carried by rods D<5> which are slidable in tubular frame members D<1> removably secured in the baths by rods D<2>. Each set of rollers E, E<1> is carried by a separate frame. In the drying chamber the lower rollers E<1> are fixed and the lower portions of the frame members D' are dispensed with. Rollers D<4> on the shafts D<1> engage cams B<4> on shafts B, B<2> driven by chains C<1> from a motor C and the cams are so disposed that alternate shafts D<3> are raised while the intermediate shafts are lowered by springs D<6>. The winding reels B, which are driven from the shaft B<2>, take up the slack as the last rollers E of the series are lowered. The driving mechanism of the reels G may be adjusted to take up only a portion of the slack formed in the films so that the time the films remain in the baths can be varied.

Title: Improvements in or relating to ultra high frequency measuring device
IPC: G01R23/04
Filed: 1945-12-21
Abstract: 611,522. Wave meters. PHILCO RADIO & TELEVISION CORPORATION. Dec. 21, 1945, No. 34709. Convention date, June 20, 1944. [Class 37] A wave meter comprises a transmission medium simultaneously resonant at a multiplicity of spaced frequencies throughout a frequency range, means for impressing signals thereon in this frequency range, a visual indicator connected in the output of the transmission medium and having a predetermined response to the output signals of the transmission medium, and means for modifying the effect on the indicator of the signal at the frequency being measured. A wave guide or resonant cavity 11 is constructed so as to be about 20 wavelengths long in the frequency range to be measured and may be circular or rectangular in cross-section. The ends are sealed by metal plates 12, 13 so as to form a resonant chamber 14. An input coupling unit comprises a small loop 15 terminating a section of coaxial cable 16 and sealed into a perforation in the end plate 12. An output coupling comprising a loop 21 at the end of a coaxial cable 22 is sealed into a perforation in the end plate 13. The input cable 16 is connected to a sweeping oscillator 31, the frequency of which is controlled by a saw-tooth generator 41 such that the output frequency is a linear function of the applied amplitude. The cavity resonator 14 is thereby continuously fed by a variable frequency constant amplitude signal which travels down the cavity and is impressed on a detector 32, the received signal consisting of a series of sharp resonance peaks. The output of the detector 32 is coupled through an amplifier 35 to the vertical deflection plate terminal 36 of a cathode-ray oscilloscope 37. The output of the saw-tooth generator 41, which is a linear function of the frequency of the oscillator 31, is applied to the horizontal plate terminal 42 of the oscilloscope. A trace is thereby produced which is the frequency transmission characteristic of the multiple resonant cavity 14 in the range of the sweeping oscillator, the resonance peaks being of known frequencies. The unknown frequency from a source 51 is applied to a detector 30 together with the signal generated in the sweeping oscillator 31, producing a beat frequency when the oscillator frequency nears the range of frequency of the source 51. Thus, at one point during the frequency sweep, a beat signal appears at the output of the detector 30 and produces a peak on the oscilloscope screen so that the frequency can be determined from its position with respect to the known resonance peaks. In order to indicate the range of operation, a tunable wave meter 19 is coupled from the oscillator 31 through a detector 20 to the amplifier 35. The wave meter 19 passes only that frequency indicated on its dial and accordingly a single resonance peak at this frequency appears on the screen, properly located upon the frequency spectrum. By movement of the wave meter control, this peak may be moved across the screen so' that the upper and lower frequency limits may be found approximately.
