Filed: 1961-03-30
Abstract: 942,218. Laying submarine cables. ELECTRICITE DE FRANCE SERVICE NATIONAL, and GAZ DE FRANCE SERVICE NATIONAL. March 30, 1961 [April 9, 1960], No. 11809/61. Heading H2C. [Also in Division F2] In a method of laying submarine cables, the cable is caused to assume an S shape by means of submerged floats which are sequentially released at a predetermined depth and reattached to the substantially horizontal portion of cable about to be laid. By releasing the rearmost float F 7  (Fig. 2) from point P 0  and reattaching it at point P 7 , the S-shape of the cable is given a forward movement which is continued until it becomes necessary to joint on another length. Stop floats are then added which maintain the cable stationary with its end substantially horizontal ready for jointing. Release of the submerged floats from the cable can be manually controlled from the attendant boat by exerting a sufficient pull on the. float cable. Alternatively, the release of the floats can be accomplished automatically either by filling them with a compressible material such as air or a liquefied hydrocarbon and providing a valve which allows water to enter at a certain pressure; or by fitting a mechanical release operated by a pressure-sensitive device. Specifications 863,000 and 885,276 are referred to.

Patent GB-474958-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to film driving mechanism
IPC: H01Q1/04
Filed: 1937-04-27
Abstract: 474,958. Kinematograph apparatus. KLANGFILM GES. April 27, 1937. No. 12002. Convention date, April 30, 1936. [Class 97 (i)] In apparatus having a mechanism driving the film before it reaches the driven take-up spool, a switch connected to a pivoted lever carrying a roller pressed by gravity or spring means against the film, controls the driving mechanism so that it operates when the length of film between the mechanism and the take-up spool has decreased to a predetermined value, and becomes inoperative when the length of film exceeds a predetermined value. In a sound recording camera, Fig. 1, the film F passes over a driven sound recording drum 2 to a take-up spool 1, and is engaged by the rollers 4, 5 of a mercury switch, the lever 7 bearing the roller 5 being pivoted about the axis 6 of the roller 4. When the length of film between the drum 2 and the spool 1 is large the switch occupies the position 5<1> and renders the motor driving the drum 2 inoperative. On rotation of the spool 1 the film tightens and draws the roller 5 upwards to start operation of the drum 2. In a modification a single roller carried on a spring-pressed lever may engage the film. To prevent intermittent operation of the drum 2 due to slight irregularities in feed the apparatus shown in Fig. 3 is employed. The shaft 6 carrying the lever 7 is rotatable in a bearing 13 and carries an arm 14 attached by a spring 19 to an extension 16 of the mercury switch 15 which is pivoted about an axis 17 coaxial with the shaft 13. A spring 10, attached to the shaft 6 holds the roller 5 in contact with the film F. On operation of the take-up spool the shaft 6 is rotated and the spring 19 is stretched until it passes a dead-centre position when it rotates the switch 15 to operate the drum 2. When the film slacks appreciably the spring 10 rotates the shaft 6 to rotate the switch again through a dead-centre position so that small variations in the length of the film do not cause the switch 15 to be operated.

Title: Improved electrical means for indicating, measuring, and/or recording small movements and vibrations of solid bodies
IPC: G01P15/08
Filed: 1922-05-01
Abstract: 201,985. Thomas, H. A. May 1, 1922. Thermionic relays.-Small movements and vibrations of solid bodies are measured by a highfrequency oscillating circuit including a generator such as a thermionic valve and its attendant circuit, in which the influence on the anode current of a vibrating metallic body in the field of an inductance coil is utilized to effect the operation of an indicating, measuring, or recording apparatus. A triode valve d with filament accumulator q and regulating-resistance r is connected up as shown with a non-inductive resistance c and high-tension battery t, and with an oscillating circuit including an inductance coil a and condenser b. To the ends of the resistance c is coupled up an auxiliary circuit including a non-inductive resistance e and a galvanometer of the D'Arsonval or Einthoven string type, having a shunt m. Applied to the ends of the resistance e is an electrical potential difference by means of the regulating potential divider h, battery s, and rheostat j. In practice, the coil a is mounted on an ebonite bobbin secured to a resilient plate 9 fixed to a support 3, which may be adjusted vertically on a pillar. The end 8 of a micrometer screw 6 with a graduated head 7 engages the plate 9. The body p to be examined is mounted near the coil a, and, if non-metallic, a small metal plate or a short-circuited coil of a few turns is clamped to it, but must be of such nature as not to interfere to any appreciable, extent with the natural period of vibration of the body. The valve is started oscillating, and the potential across the coil e adjusted until the potential at f and g is the same, this being indicated by no deflection of the galvanometer. The body p is set vibrating, and this causes a record to be made by the galvanometer. By moving the coil a through a definite distance by means of the micrometer screw and noting the displacement of the record, a calibration is effected.

In a lithographic printing method, the image areas are receptive to a water miscible ink whilst the non-image areas are made to receive a water-immiscible liquid. The printing plate of the method may comprise a base sheet of polystyrene, polyethylene or polypropylene on which the image areas are formed from zinc oxide, preferably with infra-red absorbing pigments or dyes and fusible particles to participate in the attachment of the zinc oxide to the sheet during the imaging process. The water-immiscible liquid may comprise a hydrocarbon or silicone oil such as kerosene, mineral spirits, naphtha or polymethyl siloxane oils. A specific ink contains orange shellac solution in propylene glycol, ethylenediamine and carbon black. In a described method the printing master is completely wetted with a kerosene oil fraction applied from a damping roller. The wetted surface is then placed in contact with an absorbent paper web and is pressed through a press which absorbs excess kerosene oil on to the paper from the zinc oxide printing areas. The ink is then applied from a roller and it wets the image areas for eventual transfer to a copy sheet.
