Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 5182. Barr, A., and Stroud, W. March 1. Computing-scales for gannery calculations.- Relates to means for introducing corrections for muzzle velocity and various " errors of day " into the range-setting gearing, and consists principally in the calibration of the range-scale in such manner that the same scale serves for all muzzle-velocity variations of the gun, the correction for muzzle-velocity being made by a definite displacement of the range scale pointer from its position for normal muzzle-velocity, which displacement remains constant at all ranges. Temperature, tenuity, wind, and rateof-change-of-range corrections are made by further relative displacements of the range-scale and pointer. The correcting-gear for such corrections, for example, rate of change of range, as are dependent upon the range, is connected with the sight-elevating gear so that the correction is progressively applied. Two or more corrections may be added by differential gearing in known manner. The range-scale may be replaced by a cam-groove or spiral rib on a drum, which drum may be rotated step-by-step from a distant fire-control station. An index is moved by the cam relatively to a spiral line on a second drum driven by the sight-elevating gear. The sight is correctly elevated when coincidence between the index and line is established in the manner described in Specification 13,306/07, [Class 92, Ordnance &c.]. In this construction, the corrections are divided between the two drums, gearing being provided for effecting axial displacements of both drums. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, a spiral-rib cam 9 is formed on a drum 2 connected to the sight-elevating gear, and moves an index 4 over a range-scale R calibrated in the manner set forth above, when the drum is rotated, by hand or by a step-by-step receiver controlled from a distant transmitter, to set the sights. The corrections are made by a relative displacement between the drum and scale.

Abstract: 16,481. Moss, E. Aug. 8, 1911, [Convention date]. Electric alarm systems; alarms operated by expansion of liquids.-In alarm systems of the closed-circuit or open-circuit type, the thermal switches or "thermostats" are provided with two or more sets of contacts adapted to give the alarm at different temperatures, and the desired set of contacts is brought into use in accordance with the variations of external atmospheric temperature by means of a switch operated by an independent " thermostat " so placed as to be subjected to the variations of atmospheric temperature. A suitable form of the controlling-thermostat and switch which govern the setting of the alarm thermostats is shown in front elevation in Fig. 1. Superposed expansible capsules 6 are connected to a sliding rod 11, which actuates a lever 15, a connecting- rod 20, and a lever 28 to rotate a switch drum 22 provided with a series of contact strips 27, each of which is adapted to bridge a pair of spring contacts 25. In the case of a normallyclosed circuit system, the contacts 25 are closed on a predetermined rise of temperature to place the higher sets of contacts of the thermostats in parallel with the lower sets of contacts, so that an alarm is given only by the-breaking of one or more of the higher sets of contacts. In the case of an open-circuit system, the contacts 25 are broken on a predetermined rise of temperature to cut out the lower sets of thermostat contacts, which are arranged in parallel with the higher sets. In order to allow for the more gradual cooling of the air within the building when the atmospheric temperature falls, the higher setting of the alarm thermostats is maintained for a sufficient length of time by the employment of an adjustable screw 18, which is carried by the slotted head 13 of the sliding rod 11, and is adapted to depress the lever 15 when the capsules 6 contract, but is allowed a certain amount of free movement before engaging the lever 15.
