The gates are raised by means of such devices as are shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 6 respectively. In the modifications shown in Figs. 1 and 6, the frames c are pivoted at d to the lower end of a spindle e, which passes through a nut actuated by gearing E<2>, f, and the pivot d runs in a guideway m. When the trestle g has been raised, the gate is folded up by hauling in the chain attached to the lower end of the gate C. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the links c and the guideways mare dispensed with. In other modifications, means are provided by which the gates may be instantaneously opened by the water pressure, for example by employing a rack and pinion actuated by a ratchet. When the pawl is thrown out of action, the water pressure forces open the gate. During the opening of the gates, their lower ends climb up the inclined sills j, and when a single gate extending the width of the waterway is employed, these sills or guides may extend to the water level. The gates may be made in one piece C<1>, Fig. 3<a>, or may have a central portion C<2>, which may be opened, or they may be made of sliding plates fixed in frames C<3>, or may consist of strips C' for adjusting the outflow. The gaps between the gates and between the gates and the walls may be covered by strips, which also allow of the regulation of the outflow when the gates are in the closed position. To prevent damage from the impact of blocks of ice, the gear f may be made of an inner and an outer portion connected by bolts which break under shock.

Title: Magnesia Cements.
Inventor: EGGENHOEFFNER ROBERTO
Filed: 1908-04-14
Granted: 1909-04-14
Abstract: 8307. Eggenh÷ffner, R., and Sbertoli, E. April 14. Wood substitudes.-Magnesia cements are manufactured by a process in which the formation of magnesium " ortho-oxychloride," MgO.MgCl2.H2O, is the first step. Anhydrous "litosilo" having the formula Mg2OCl2.H2O 7 MgO, and anhydrous "orthochlor," Mg2OCl2.H2O.3 MgO, are prepared therefrom by mixing 1 molecular weight ot the "ortho-oxychloride" with 7 and 3 molecular weights respectively of magnesia. These set with 26 and 18 molecular weights of water respectively to form "litosilo" and "orthochlor" magnesia cements. " Litosilo has been previously manufactured by mixing MgO with a solution of MgCl2 of 18‹ BÚ. and with sawdust. The "ortho-oxy- " chloride" is prepared by the interaction of magnesia and anhydrous HCl, by partially calcining MgCl2, 6 H2O in the open air, by calcining Mg2OCl2.11 H2O obtained by the action of a solution of MgCl2 at 33À6‹ BÚ. on MgO, by dissolving MgO in a solution of HCl at 18À4‹ BÚ., or by dissolving molecular weights of MgO and MgCO3 in a similar solution. The cements may be used alone or mixed with sawdust, mineral detritus, amianth, &c.and may be used directly or may be preserved in the dry state, or the " ortho-oxycbloride " and magnesia may be mixed in situ. The cement may be used for lining cisterns and terraces, for reinforced cement structures such as balconies, mixed with sawdust for the revetment of holds and other compartments of ships in place of wood, for retaining-walls, roofs, pavements, floors, walls, fortifications, and decks, and for protecting ships' turrets, casements, batteries, armour-plates, and bulwarks. When reinforced by metal rods &c., decks may be constructed directly on the girders.

Title: Improvements relating to Acetylene Gas Generators.
Inventor: DENNIS FREDERICK HUNGATE
Filed: 1908-11-14
Granted: 1909-11-15
Abstract: 24,519. Dennis, F. H. Nov. 14. [Cognate Application No. 11,142, A.D. 1909, dated May 11.] Acetylene.-In an acetylene generator of the type in which carbide on a tray is fed forward intermittently by the descending gas-holder, the follower behind the carbide is connected to a cable passing over a drum driven by mechanism which is liberated by the descending holder, or driven direct by the descending holder assisted by a weight. In the form shown, carbide in a tray d is delivered to a shoot c, leading to a generator a, by a follower e pulled forward by a cord f<1> passing over a drum h and connected to a weight f. On the descent of the gas-holder b, a sliding weighted tappet l thereon releases a pawl from a ratchet-wheel on the axis of the drum h and allows the follower to move forward. A valve t<1>, normally lifted by a float t<2>, prevents escape of gas from the holder when the water-level in the generator falls. A rake at the bottom of the generator comprises two curved blades v, Fig. 3, mounted on a tube v<1> sliding on a rod v<4> fixed to the wall of the generator. In a modification, a fixed tappet on the gas-holder actuates a lever having a weighted pawl which drives the drum h on the descent of the holder. In this form the weight f nearly overcomes the frictional resistance to the travel of the follower e, and less pull is given as the follower approaches the delivery end of the tray by forming the weight of disks of decreasing diameter descending into a stepped well, or of vessels containing liquid descending into a tank, or of a chain the lower links of which are supported as it descends.

Abstract: 5662. Brocklehurst, R. March 9. Steering and balancing.-The usual box-shaped tail of an aerial machine is mounted on four flexible rods which can be bent by the operator to move the tail in various directions for lateral and vertical steering. In one form the upper angles of the fabric forming the tall 7 are secured to the flexible rods 3, 4, Fig. 1, while the lower angles are secured to tubes 8, 9 adapted to slide on the lower rods 5, 6. Cords 16, 10 are secured to the front and rear ends of the tubes 8, 9, and to hand-levers 15. 17. The cords 10 pass over pulleys mounted at the rear ends of the rods 5, 6. By moving one or other of the hand-levers in the direction of the arrows shown in Fig 1, the corresponding tube is slid rearwards on its flexible rod, which is bent upwards to steer the machine lateraily. By moving both levers simultaneously, the upper and lower surfaces of the tail are turned about a transverse axis to incline the machine. In a modified form, the fabric is fixed to all the rods, and the lower rods are adapted to slide in tubes fixed to the lower plane 2 and controlled by the hand-levers through a pivoted link. In another form each corner of the fabric of the tail is secured to a slidable tube. The tubes 8, 8<Î>, Fig. 6, at diagonal corners are moved in opposite directions by the cords shown by a lever 22. The tubes 9, 9 <Î> are moved similarly by a second hand-lever and cords. For steering in the horizontal plane, the hand-levers are moved in the same direction, while by moving one of the levers or both levers in the opposite directions, the planes are warped or inclined about a transverse axis for steering laterally. The upper and lower surfaces of the tail may be of different sizes so as to bave a trapezoidal form in end view ; or the tail may be composed of three surfaces only.
