Title: Improvements in or relating to suspension systems for movable members, such as movingcoil systems of electric measuring instruments
IPC: G01D11/06
Filed: 1964-03-31
Abstract: 1,056,574. Indicating-apparatus; moving coil meters. SANGAMO WESTON Ltd. March 31, 1964, No. 13170/64. Headings G1J and G1Q. A movable element 10 is suspended in a stationary bracket 20 by two tension bands 40 secured by wedges 46, 60 against coplanar faces 44, 50 of cross slots 42, 48 in members 38, 26 so that the major axes of the bands coincide with the desired axis of rotation. After soldering one end of a band 40 to a die cast zinc alloy member 26 through a solder slot 52, a wedge 60 is driven into slot 48. A member 38 is screwed on to a stud 14 on a pivot base 13 cemented to the movable element 10. The other end of the band 40 is wedged in the slot 42 of this member 38. An abutment plate 32, spacer 34 and spring washer 36 are placed on the shaft of an insulating hub 30 preferably of nylon whose tapered end 72 is snapped into a hole 22 in the bracket 20 to be retained by its shoulder 74. Two pins 54 on the member 26 are then wedged into a slot 56 in a tension spring 28, the spring 28 and an end plate 24 are placed over pins 66 on the hub 30 and the pins are hot riveted. The second band 40 is secured in the same way and one of the members 38 clamps a counterweighted pointer 18 to the element 10. In the embodiment shown, the element 10 is a coil moving in the gap between a core 1, including a permanent magnet, and a soft iron ring 2. The nuts 38 are non magnetic and may be die cast brass. The bands 40 are preferably of platinum-nickel alloy for high tensile and shear strength, good electrical conductivity, resistance to corrosion, a linear torque-deflection relationship and low temperature coefficient of resistance. In a sensitive instrument indicating zero to two micro amperes for full scale deflection a band of cross section À002" by À002" is suitable and in a slot 42 0À020" wide a wedge of aluminium alloy 0À0182" wide needs energy of 1 in. lb to drive it home. Electrical connection to the coil 11 is made through spring 28, member 26, band 40, nut 38, and stud 14. The spring 28 may be of beryllium copper, the thickness being chosen to give a tension between 10 and 50 grams as required. The hollow hub 30 limits radial displacement and its flange 70 limits longitudinal displacement of the coil 11. The abutment plate 32 frictionally engages the underside of the flange 70 and an arm 35 facilitates manipulation for zero adjustment.

An emergency lamp 11 is mounted on one or both of the branch cables for use when the main lamp dips below the pilot's line of vision, or during bad visibility. Deflections of the cable 3 may be indicated by the use of differently coloured side or upper and lower lights which become visible upon deflection of the cable from the true trailing position. The lamp 7 also may be used for signalling to the glider pilot.
Patent GB-848090-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in attachments for typewriters and like machines
IPC: B41J3/24
Filed: 1957-04-25
Abstract: 848,090. Ink ribbon mechanism. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. April 25, 1957 [April 28, 1956], No. 13268/57. Class 100(4) A ribbon feed attachment for typewriters or the like has two brakes, one of which holds the ribbon stationary relative to the typewriter carriage when a printing key is pressed, the other holding the ribbon stationary relative to a fixed part of the typewriter when a function key is pressed, i.e. the ribbon is moved one letter space when printing occurs only. Depression of a typing key closes a contact, through the ribbon feed linkage, which energises brake magnets 15, 42, Fig. 3, thus a normally closed stationary brake 15 is opened and a normally open brake 42 on the auxiliary carriage, which moves with the typewriter carriage, is closed. The magnets are held in this condition by a delay condenser until the type has printed and the carriage advanced one letter space. The auxiliary ribbon, gripped by the brake 42, is thus also moved one space and a corresponding length of ribbon is pulled off a supply spool 22, Fig. 8. A frictional connection 25, 26 between spools 22 and 27 turns a take-up spool 27. The greatest outer diameter of the ribbon on the supply spool 22 is smaller than the inner diameter of the take-up device 28, backlash being taken up by a friction clutch which also keeps ribbon tension constant. When a function key is pressed, the ribbon feed linkage remains at rest and the contact is not closed. Brake magnets 15, 42 remain de-energised leaving the stationary ribbon brake 15 closed gripping the ribbon and the brake 42 open. Ribbon in the take-up device 28 is held against movement by a recoil lock 35. To remove used ribbon, a nut 36 is removed from an axle 21 and the take-up device 28 plus the ribbon is lifted by handles 32, 33, Fig 7. By pressing handles 32, 33 together adjacent ribbon gripping segments, such as 34, are opened out and the ribbon drops off. New ribbons are pulled through by the old ribbon and tensioned by holding the supply spool 22 with brake 24, Fig. 3, and turning upper spool 31, Fig. 8, until the required tension is reached. Auxiliary carriage 3, Fig. 1, carrying the ribbon in guide channel 44 may be rocked back when not in use.
Patent GB-299074-A (GB)
Title: Process for conditioning or treating water in boilers and the like to prevent incrustation and corrosion
IPC: C02F5/08
Filed: 1927-05-17
Abstract: 299,074. Gordon, J. May 17, 1927. Incrustation and corrosion, preventing.-Incrustation in boilers is prevented by adding to the boiler water a soluble phosphate to precipitate calcium phosphate, and maintaining the concentration of phosphate by further additions during evaporation, to ensure the precipitation of calcium as phosphate sludge rather than as adherent sulphate scale. A fluoride or arsenate may be used in place of phosphate. It is preferred to remove most of the calcium and magnesium by a preliminary treatment with lime and soda ash, or by a base exchange process, and the precipitates are separated from the feed water. Curves are prepared, showing the concentration of phosphate radical relatively to the sulphate radical at different boiler pressures, which 'it is necessary to maintain in the boiler to ensure the precipitation of calcum as phosphate. The hydroxyl concentration produced by hydrolysis of the soluble phosphate may be minimized, to prevent precipitation of magnesium as silicate or hydroxide, by the use of disodium hydrogen phosphate, or phosphoric acid. A preliminary treatment with a barium salt to remove sulphate as barium sulphate may be employed. The process is suitable for use in boilers operating at high temperatures and pressures.
