Title: Improvements in Sea Sounding Apparatus.
Inventor: PARKS MURRAY THOMAS
Filed: 1906-11-30
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 27,279. Parks, M. T. Nov. 30. Sounding-apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for heaving the lead, for drawing in the slack line when the lead touches the bottom, and for indicating the length of line then run out. The lead a is provided with a freely-mounted collar f carrying hooks b, c, by means of which it is mechanically attached at the winding-drum to a guide-wire d running to the bow of the ship, where a wire cage t lifts the lead out of contact with the guide-wire and allows it to drop into the sea. A weight x connected to the winding- drum i winds up the slack line ; but is not heavy enough to raise the lead itself, so that, ratchet mechanism being thrown into gearing to prevent the forward motion of the drum, a dial geared to the drum spindle automatically indicates the sounding. The line on leaving the drum passes over a pulley l and between the projecting arms m of a bell-crank lever n pivoted on the pulley spindle. When the lead is drawn towards the pulley, an enlargement h<1> on the line engages with the projecting parts of the arm m and rotates the lever n into the position shown in Fig. 2. A frame g for receiving the lead is pivoted by a pin n<2> to the arm m, and is raised in order to lift the weight into the engagement with the guide-wire by means of a lever p, which is oscillated by the other arm of the lever n. Plates r carrying guide-springs guide the hook b on to the wire d.

Abstract: 19,453. Stewart & Co., D., and McMullen, K. J. Aug. 30. Gas and like engines.-Multi-cylinder two- or four-stroke-cycle'engines are arranged so that the exhaust from each cylinder in turn has an ejector action upon another cylinder of the series and thus draws a scavenging-charge of air through the latter cylinder. Fig. 1 shows an application of the invention to a four-cylinder engine working on a fourstroke cycle and having two pairs of cranks at 180 degrees apart. The exhaust pipe A<2> from the cylinder A terminates in a nozzle within an enlarged portion of the exhaust pipe B<2> from the cylinder B, while the pipe B<2> leads into the pipe C<2> and so on for any number of cylinders. A<3> ... D<3> are the scavenging valves, and A<1> ... D<1> the exhaust valves for the cylinders. In the position of the pistons shown, the exhaust valves A'. B' and the scavenging valve B<3> are open, and the exhaust from cylinder A is inducing a scavenging-charge through the cylinder B. At other points of the cycle of scavenging operations, the exhaust from the cylinder B scavenges the cylinder A, and that from the cylinder D scavenges the cylinder C.
