Title: Improvements in and connected with tube radiators
IPC: F28F9/06
Filed: 1928-05-05
Abstract: 315,934. Kirk, H. May 5, 1928. Jointing tubes to headers.-In tube radiators for motor vehicles &c., the ends of the tubes 8 are resiliently mounted on the header plates 7 by means of a rubber ring 13 which is positioned within a bush 10 in the form of a hollow threaded plug, slightly tapered as shown in Fig. 2, adapted to screw into a hole in the header plate. The ring 13 is received in a circumferential groove 12 in the bush 10, while the latter is formed with a hexagonal head 11 to receive a spanner. In modifications, the rubber rings are each housed in a groove formed partly in the header or end plate 15, Figs. 3 and 4, and partly in a companion plate 16, or between two companion plates 19, Fig. 5, secured to the header.

Patent GB-133398-A (GB)
IPC: F02N15/06
Abstract: 133,398. Rapson, F. L. Sept. 7, 1918. Starting; turning-gear. -In connexion with a mechanical or electric starter for aeroplane or other engines, an auxiliary internal-combustion engine is provided to turn the crank-shaft after the ordinary starter ceases to act, or in case the ordinary starter fails. In one form, Fig. 1, the mechanical starter comprises a drum 26 with helical ribs 27, mounted on the shaft 20 of an auxiliary engine 21. The drum is rotated bv the engagement of the ribs 27 by an arm 28 pivoted on a rod 11, which is moved axially against a spring 15 by a pedal 8. A stop 30 on the arm 28 is held against the underside of the rod 11 by a spring 31, which allows the arm 38 to slip over the ribs 27 on the return of the rod 11. An arm 12 on the rod 11 moves a pinion 5 along a squared portion 4 of the starter shaft 1 into mesh with the toothed fly-wheel 6 of the engine to be started. The pinion 5 carries a friction-clutch member 18 for engagement with a corresponding member 19 forming part of the drum 26. A starting-mixture is supplied to the induction pipes of the main and auxiliary engines by a surface carburettor 34, supplied with fuel by a valve 37 actuated by the end of the rod 11. A cam-surface 48 on the rod 11 actuates a rod 49 controlling ignition switches 46, 47; the arm of the switch 47 for the auxiliary engine engages a slot in the rod 49 so as to be opened and closed by the movement of the rod, while the switch 46 for the main engine is engaged by the end of the rod. In a modification, an electric starter replaces the drum 26, and a cone clutch is provided between the electric motor and the auxiliary engine 21 instead of on the pinion 5. The rod 11 is so arranged that, when it is first displaced, the pinion 5 is moved into gear with the engine member 6 and the petrol valve 37 is opened, so that the electric starter is in action and the main engine is supplied with mixture. If the electric starter fails, further movement of the rod 11 puts in the clutch of the auxiliary engine and opens a valve in the mixture pipe 45 supplying the auxiliary engine. In a further modification, a spring starter is disposed between the auxiliary engine and the pinion 5, and the auxiliary engine serves to wind up the spring by means comprising a disk having a projection engaging an arm on the end of the spring. The disk also has distributing - contacts on its periphery for the ignition of the engine. The spring is mounted within a ratchet-wheel held against rotation by a pawl, and, in case of reverse rotation, the pawl is disengaged by a camsurface on its support. One of the Provisional Specifications states that the auxiliary engine may have spherical valves. Specifications 125,751 and 130,125 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to apparatus for the control of grid-controlled electric discharge devices
Inventor: SMART DAVID LORIMER
IPC: H02M1/04
Filed: 1954-05-07
Abstract: 774,400. Rectifying; changing wave shape. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO., Ltd. May 6, 1955 [May 7, 1954], No. 13383/54. Class 38 (2). Each grid 10b of a polyphase mercury arc rectifier 10 is energized by a steady bias voltage Vb sufficient to prevent the rectifier from firing, and a series of voltage pulses Vc whose phase is variable by altering the saturation of choke 16 by controlling the current Ic in saturating winding 16b. Both grid voltages are derived from the output, rectified at 14a, 14b of two star connected three phase transformer windings 12a, 12b connected by an interphase reactor 13. The steady voltage Vb is derived from a potentiometer connected between the output rectifier terminals and the centre tapping of reactor 13, and the pulses are derived from circuit 15 comprising resistor RL and variable choke 16 connected between the appropriate phase of the transformer windings 12a, 12b and the centre tapping of reactor 13. As shown in Fig. 5, the voltage from which the pulses are derived has the fundamental frequency, modified by the third harmonic, so that the variation in pulse amplitude over a range of phase displacement of 120 degrees is much less than with a purely sinusoidal form. With five rectifiers operating in parallel the steady bias circuit is common to all grids, and a pulsing circuit common to all rectifiers is supplied for each phase, the saturating windings 16b being connected in series for common control.

[Class 84] [Also in Group XIII] Liquid margarine mix, containing cultured milk, oils &c. and materials such as salt and benzoic acid, is delivered by a pump 10 from a churn or tank 1', similar to that described in U.S.A. Specification 2,067,683, to the interior of a congealing cylinder 18 in which it is subjected to agitation by a solid or hollow rotary member 69 provided with supports 60 for longitudinal scraper blades 59, the supports having inclined surfaces 66, Fig. 5, adapted to create a back pressure on the inflowing liquid and to direct it against the wall of the cylinder. The scraper blades are engaged in grooves 61 in the supports and retained by pin and slot connection 65 so as to have a limited hinged movement. The cylinder is surrounded by a refrigerating jacket 20 and insulating jackets. The liquid mix is admitted to the pump through a control valve in pipe 5. and air may be admitted thereto through a valve 8. The solidified margarine is discharged through a tube 13<1> for subsequent cutting and packing,

Abstract: 1,032,606. Automatic speed control. GARRETT CORPORATION. April 5,1963 [April 6, 1962], No. 13736/63. Heading G3R. An alternator 10 is driven by a gas turbine 11 the speed of which is controlled by the variation of fuel supply by a speed controller 12 responsive to a speed sensor, not shown. The output from a stator 31 is fed to a three-phase supply I, II, III. The real load on the alternator is determined by a computor 21 having an identical unit 33 in each phase their outputs being connected across resistors 42 in series. The current in phase 1 is sensed by a current transformer 35, loaded by a resistor 37, the voltage across which is applied to a transformer 38 having a centre-tapped secondary winding. A network of transistors 43 is connected to the centre tapped secondary winding and gated by the voltages secondary windings of a transformer 41 having a primary winding energized from across phases II, III. The voltage across resistors 42, representative of the real power is applied to an impedance matching emitter-follower 22 having an output across a resistor 61 which is applied through an integrating network 24 or differentiating network 26, selected by a switch 25, to a magnetic amplifier 30 modifying the operation of the speed controller 12. The network 24 is selected for operation in parallel with other alternators to provide a lag or droop characteristic by tending to reduce the fuel supply to the turbine with increase of load. The network 26 is selected when the alternator is operated singly to anticipate change in load by increasing the fuel supply to the turbine. The switch 25 is stated to be operated by a torque-motor.
