Abstract: 1351232 Splicing webs HAUNI-WERKE KORBER & CO KG 11 May 1971 [12 May 1970] 14249/71 Heading B8R In apparatus for splicing a replacement strip 2, e.g. of cigarette paper, to a working strip 1 the strip 2 is positioned so that there is a space 10 between it and the strip 1, and its leading end is attached to a drum 7 by means of a clamp 9; a double-sided adhesive strip 15 is located within the space 10 and between rollers 32, 33, the roller 32 engaging the strip 1 and being fixed in position and the roller 33 engaging the strip 2 and being mounted on a pivoted carrier 36. When the amount of strip 1 on the expiring reel (not shown) has dropped to a predetermined limit, as detected by a sensor of the photo-  electric or mechanical type, a motor is switched on to drive the drum 7 so that the strip 2 is accelerated up to, or slightly less than, the speed of the strip 1; an electromagnet 44 is then actuated to pivot the roller 33 towards the roller 32, whereby the strips 1 and 2 are united by the adhesive strip 15. Simultaneously with this movement a cutter 54 is actuated to sever the strip 1 behind the splice; then, when the splice reaches a guide roller 5 located opposite the drum 7 that portion of the strip 2 which is disposed in advance of the splice and which is winding on to the drum 7 is severed from the rest of the strip by means of a cutter 55, thus completing the splicing operation.

Patent GB-143480-A (GB)
Abstract: 143,480. Imray, O., (Eisemann Magneto Corporation). Jan. 7, 1920. Magnetos, driving. - In magnetos having oscillating armatures for ignition in internal-combustion engines, an arm on the magneto shaft is oscillated bv cams or other devices, and engages alternately with each of a pair of spring-connected disks rotatably mounted on the shaft, so that the reaction of the spring rapidly returns the shaft to its normal position. The flanged bush 11 is keyed to the magneto shaft and provides a mounting for the spring-arm disks 17 and 24. The plate 29 secured to the frame of the magneto by nuts 32 and posts 28 has a tongue 31, which forms a stop to arrest the movement of each of the disks when actuated by the spring 21. The magneto shaft 12 has rigidly secured to it the oscillator arm 14 by the screw 13. A stud 33 is set in the arm 14 so positioned as to enter the space between the members 17 and 14 provided by the stop 31, and in whichever direction the mechanism moving the oscillator arm 14 is rotating, serves to tension the spring 21 and thus impart a quick impulse to the arm 14 in the reverse direction. In addition, the spring-members not acted on by the oscillator arm acts as a cushion to stop the oscillator arm in the position in which it is to be engaged for the next oscillation.

Title: Write and read circuit arrangement for a magnetic core storage device

Abstract: 1,138,297. Magnetic storage apparatus. HOLLANDSE SIGNAALAPPARATEN N.V. 31 March, 1966 [6 April, 1965], No. 14376/66. Heading H3B. A reading and writing circuit for a two-coreper-bit store comprises two parallel column wires 12, 17 which are energized from a common pulse transformer 1 and are connected in series with respective resistors 6, 7, the voltage developed across the resistors being applied to an amplifier 11 the input of which is connected to a reference potential 10 by resistors 8, 9. For writing into a core 13 or 15, a row word wire 14 or 16 is pulsed at the same time as a pulse from a source 3 is passed through the column wires 12, 17 by closing a switch 4 or 5 in the primary circuit of the pulse transformer. The switch operated determines the pulse polarity and therefore which of the two cores associated with an energized row wire is switched. For reading, the row wire is energized by a pulse of opposite polarity and in this case a read-out voltage is obtained across the resistors 6 and 7 to which the amplifier responds. The provision of resistors 8, 9 and the reference potential 10 prevents spurious voltages produced during the writing operation from influencing the amplifier.

Abstract: 311,292. International General Electric Co., Inc., (Assignees of Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges.). May 8, 1928, [Convention date]. Feedwater, supplying and controlling. - In steam-power plants of the kind. working on the closed-feed system, for example an installation comprising a two-stage preheating apparatus and a pre-heating turbine separated from the main machine, the outflow of the condensate and the inflow to the boiler are both regulated and a feedwater accumulator is placed before the feed pump. The exhaust from a steam-turbine T, Fig. 3, is condensed in a condenser K, and delivered by a condensate pump KdP to a mixing preheater I, where the water is heated almost to the saturatedsteam temperature of the exhaust from the preheating turbine H, and is then forced to an accumulator and mixing preheater II by a pump VwP. The feedwater is conveyed to the boiler by the feed pump ESP. through a float-operated throttle valve R2. The compensating tank normally fitted on the outflow of the condensate pump KdP is omitted, and a regulator R1 is placed in the outflow of the condensate pump. The superfluous condensate may be by-passed back to the condenser K. In a modification, the water is heated by tapped steam from the main engine in a surface heater, and is not heated in the accumulator. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 208,604.

[Class 83 (i)] A body is cast with a hole formed therein by locating in the mould a permanent core less in size than the hole required and moving the mould or core during solidification. The metal core 4 is eccentric to its bearing 10 and support 5 and this is rotated continuously by a motor 7 and movable vertically, to insert it in the mould 2 before casting, and to withdraw it when the cast metal is sufficiently solid, by a handle 9. The core may be interchangeable, or have an elongated bearing 10, adjustable eccentricity, or a loose or driven sleeve. The mould may also be rotated to give a centrifugal action. The core may be withdrawn when the metal has cooled or automatically after a definite time. Instead of rotating the core it or the mould may be moved in an elliptical or other path with the aid of inter-changeable cams &c. The hole produced may be tapered or of varying cross section by using a corresponding core.
