Title: Improvements in Sighting Apparatus for Ordnance.
Inventor: SCOTT LOTHIAN KERR
IPC: F41G3/12
Filed: 1910-06-11
Granted: 1911-06-12
Abstract: 28,129. Scott, L. K. June 11, 1910. Sights and methods of sighting.-Relates to sights, of the kind described in Specification 23,307/08, for howitzers firing with four different powder charges at various ranges, and consists in means for obtaining the same gunnery effects as in the prior invention without the employment of cam-mechanism for elevating the sight. The " all-round deflexion " sight T of the kind described in Specification 20,203/04, is freely pivoted upon a sleeve e<5> which is rotatably mounted upon a shaft f<2> fixed to a supporting bracket F. An arm l carrying the sight-elevating screw r is also rotatably mounted upon the sleeve e<5>. A worm s on the bracket F gears with a sector l<2> on the arm l for making the angle of sight correction. The range scales for the four different powder charges are graduated in this construction, as shown, around a drum D which is rotated by the sleeve e<5> when the sight is elevated, the sleeve being connected by multiplying- gearing e', e<2>, e<3>, e' with the elevating-wheel E of the sight T. A reader f<1> is traversed along a rod f on the arm l from one range scale to another, and the range scales are colored or otherwise arranged to indicate the powder charge to be employed to obtain the steepest angles of descent of the projectile over the whole range of the gun. The sight is rotated through an horizontal angle for drift, as described in Specification 6539/07, by one or more drift cams C on the drum D which act upon a vertical plunger a<3> the upper end of which engages with an incline on the all-round deflexion plate a of the sight. The reader f<1> may be traversed by a screw, in which case the drift cams for the different powder charges are carried by a plate which is iotated relatively to the wheel E and drum D by a pinion on the traversing-screw of the reader f<1>. Fuse scales are graduated on the face of the drum D. In a modification, the drum D is replaced by a dial having one complete range scale on its face divided up into the portions corresponding to the different powder charges. A range-scale reader is provided, which is adjustable by hand so that in changing from one charge to another the displacement of the pointer will effect the necessary change in the elevation of the sight. The sight bracket F is adjustable about an axis g parallel to the axis of the gun G, and about a vertical axis by rotating the bush b in a second bush b<1>. The sight may also rock on trunnions t, against the action of a spring, to cushion the shock of discharge. The sight may be used for indirect sighting in conjunction with the "plotter" described in Specification 13,085/08. Specifications 869/08 and 21,472/08 are also referred to.

Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 3294. Handcock, H. W., and Dykes, A. H. Feb. 10. Rate, changing.- Multiple - rate meters are controlled from a central station without the use of earth connexions or auxiliary leads, by means of small superposed currents operating selective relays in or connected with the meters. In direct-current systems, an alternating current is imposed by means of a small dynamo, or by periodically shortcircuiting an inductance in the circuit. In alternating-current systems, a direct current is imposed by means of a small dynamo or battery, or an alternating current of a different frequency is added. A recording-instrument is used at the central station to register the times at which the changes are made. The relay may be an electromagnet connected to a transformer, a tuned reed, or a polarized moving-coil instrument. The arrangement shown is suitable for direct or alternating current systems. The armature C of a small alternator at the station is connected in one of the mains, and the field coil D is excited, intermittently or for prolonged periods, by a timing-device connected with a recorder. A series coil E at the consumer's premises acts upon a tuned reed F, which, when in vibration, completes the circuit of an electro-magnet H and shunts the meter K. Or the coil E may be in a shunt circuit so as to effect a change at definite times, whether current is being taken or not. The alternator may be run at different speeds ; or two alternators may be used, one to effect a change, and the other to reverse it. According to the Provisional Specification, the meter may be connected intermittently so as to register a variable fraction of the energy supplied ; or it may register on different dials at different times, or the registering-gear may be varied.
