The nozzles 5 and mould are inclined, as shown, and the balls roll off the mould into shoots 9 and pass to a pit 10, whence they are removed by a conveyer 11 and delivered to an inclined table 14 leading back to the reservoir 6. A shutter 28, carried by arms 26 operated by cams 18, controls the feed to the reservoir, and a rule 30 serves to distribute the balls on the table, or this may be effected by giving an oscillatory movement to the table. In a modification, two tables and two sets of nozzles are employed. The nozzles 5 may be arranged at different inclinations, as shown in Fig. 6, to compensate for difference of path. Instead of balls, jets of liquid may be employed.

Abstract: 9007. Woods, G. E. H. April 17. Railway rails, surfacing in situ. - A railgrinding machine for use on the permanent way comprises a carriage a mounted upon pivoted shoes i and carrying on both sides grinders b mounted in independent bearings and adapted to operate independently one on each rail. The grinding-carriage a is connected by means of a link to a motor-vehicle, the engine of which may drive the grinders alone, or both the vehicle and the grinders, and lever arms f on the vehicle are adjustable about pivots g to determine the pressure of the grinders on the rails.

Title: Improvements in Machine Telephone Switching Systems.
Filed: 1912-07-08
Granted: 1913-07-08
Abstract: 12,424. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T.]. July 8, 1912. Drawings to Specification. Automatic and semi - automatic exchange systems.-The system described is the same as that described in Specification 15,952/12. A calling subscriber is connected by first and second line-finding switches to an idle firstselector trunk, and thence by a lateral connexion through a distributing-switch to an operator, who enquires the wanted number and writes it down on a key-set, the connexion being then completed automatically through numerical selectors. The connexion is described as passing through two main exchanges, equipped with group selectors, and two ' satellites ' or district offices, at which only line-finders and lineselectors are provided. The claims in the present Specification relate to the following features. (1) The sequence switches that govern the succession of operations in the various selector trunk-circuits are in part controlled by relays sensitive to alternating-current, means being provided for sending alternating- current over the main circuit from one selector to another at certain stages in the building-up of the connexion. Some of these relays respond to alternating-current only, others to direct current also. (2) The reverting impulses sent back by the final selector while it is being set on the terminals of the wanted line are repeated to the operator's equipment by a relay-set at the third selector, the main circuit being metallically interrupted at the third selector by an inductive connexion. The relay repeating- set is disconnected from the line before the connexion is completed. (3) The trunk connecting the second line-finder and the first selector is provided with a single set of test-relays, which controls the operation of both these switches in turn. Specifications 20,840/09, 16,867/11, 23,508/11, 16,151/12, 12,423/13, 12,425/13, and 12,426/13 are also referred to.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Stopping Trains Independently of Drivers.
Inventor: BRUNSKILL JOSEPH WILLIAM
IPC: B61L3/04
Filed: 1913-06-28
Granted: 1914-05-14
Abstract: 14,906. Brunskill, J. W. June 28. Track apparatus for stopping trains. - For automatically operating the brake - controlling lever on an engine, a short double - incline track contact A is raised into the path of a cranked contact on the engine, when the signal is put to danger. A projecting arm D<2> on the crank normally engages a lever F<2> on the plug F<1> of a cock F at the junction of the driver's control pipe E' with the main brake pipe E, to prevent the spring G or a weight from opening the cock. The projection D<2> is notched to prevent accidental displacement. The plug has two straight-through openings g<1>, g<2>, to register with the train pipe openings f<1>, f<2>, and the casing has openings at opposite ends, connecting to the driver's pipe E' and to atmosphere respectively. An opening in the plug normally registers with the driver's pipe, but when the lever is released, the plug is turned to cause this pipe to be cut off, while a second opening registers with the air inlet to apply the brakes. The driver must dismount to re-set the plug. An indicator may show the number of times the apparatus is actuated, and the time of each. Two or more signals, such as the home and distant signals or a combination of signal and point levers, may be connected by slotted connexions to the track contact so that either will operate the contact, which will then remain raised until both are moved to safety.

Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 15,874. Dechy, A. July 9. Lateral-splash guards.-To prevent lateral splashing of mud from the wheels of road vehicles, compressed air is projected in an opposite direction to the up-throw of mud so as to carry the mud down towards the ground. The compressors may be operated by the motor or the wheels, and may supply the air through pipes C to nozzles D formed in a box or casing B. A single compressor with one or more pipes may be used and may be operated by a train of wheels and be adapted to be stopped at will; or a removable reservoir of compressed gas may be employed. The nozzles may be fixed or capable of having their inclination varied, and they may be directly connected to the pipe or mounted on an intermediate part. The pipe conveying the compressed air may be fixed to the hub cap of the wheel and the box B replaced by a single cross-pipe with downwardly-divided holes.

Granted: 1914-11-12
Abstract: 25,915. Adamson, D. Nov. 12. Switches, actuating.-Relates to switches for preventing overwinding of electric cranes. Two switches, for limiting the lifting and lowering movements respectively, are operated by separate elements which receive equal angular movements in unison through a gear train driven from the crane drum. The crane drum drives a pinion a attached to a sleeve loose on a shaft b. The sleeve carries a mutilated wheel c in gear with a complete wheel e, which is attached .to a sleeve loose on a second shaft h. The second sleeve carries a mutilated wheel g gearing with a complete wheel i fast on the shaft b, which, by means of a wheel and an idle wheel k, gears with a wheel fast on the shaft h. The two shafts are thus rotated intermittently in the same direction and in the intervals of movement are locked by disks d, f working on the Geneva-stop principle. Outside the gear-box and mounted on the shafts b, h are disks m, n bearing studs o, p, which are adapted to enter slots in tappet levers q, r, and thus rapidly open and close the switches s, t, which respectively control the lifting and lowering circuits of the crane motor.
