A semicircular disk or globe b, painted black to indicate night, is pivoted about a disk or globe a bearing a representation of part or all of the earth's surface. An arm c is fixed to the centre of the semi-disk b, the axis being provided with a projection d for throwing a shadow of the sun on the disk, a radius e being drawn along the disk in extension of the arm c. In the case of a globe, a semicircular arm is provided fitted with a tube through which the sun's rays pass, and the globe is pivoted about its polar axis to a curved arm adjustably fitted to the support a<1> and fixed in position by a set-screw. On the disk or globe are marked at g the months and signs of the zodiac arranged so that, when the arm c points to the sun at noon, its end indicates the month of the year. A line i drawn on the disk or globe is divided into minutes to indicate by its intersection with the diameter l, l of the semi-disk or globe b the time of sunset or sunrise at the place marked 12 o'clock thereon.

Patent GB-190907000-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Production of Pigment Prints and the like.
Inventor: TRIEPEL WILHELM
IPC: G03C5/315
Filed: 1909-03-23
Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 7000. Triepel, W. March 23. Contact processes; photo-mechanical printing- surfaces.-Relates to processes for producing pigment pictures by contact printing without light action from prints in metals, similar to the processes described in Specifications 17,192/04, 17,007/05, and 19,889/07. The process is also applicable to the production of gum prints, oil prints, and photo-mechanical reproductions based upon the reduction of bichromates. Instead of impregnating the colloidal film with a -bath containing the alkali salts of chromic acid, hydroferricyanic acid, and the hydrogen haloids, the alkali salts of these acids are replaced wholly or partly by the analogous compounds of such metals which give insoluble or slightly soluble ferrocyanides or monochromates in the reaction with the metal of the print. Such metals are iron or the rare-earth metals cerium, didymium, or lanthanum. A quantity of salts having a tanning effect such as the sulphates or nitrates of the rare earths, or of iron or uranium, may be added to the baths. To increase the absorbing capacity of the pigmented paper, the impregnating-bath may also contain acids, acid salts, or salts of organic acids, or other agents such as alcohol, acetone, or glycerine. These additions may, however, be applied in the form of a preparatory bath for the silver print.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Printing Presses.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
IPC: B41F27/10
Filed: 1909-04-08
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 8590. Haddan, R., [Duplex Printing Press Co.]. April 8. Rotary machines; printing-surfaces. -Relates to rotary printing-machines using tubular stereotype plates as described in Specification 19,824/07, and relates in particular to means whereby the plates may be readily placed on, and removed from, the cylinder, and to means for clamping the plates in position. The machine shown in Fig. 5 comprises four perfecting-sets A, B, C, D printing on four webs a, b, c, d, each plate cylinder 1, 1<a> being adapted to receive two or more one page stereotype plates. The webs may be led through and perfected in one colour, or may be led through first one and then another set and perfected in more than one colour. The stereotypes are cylindrical with a narrow slot or gap which fits over a longitudinal rib 1<b> on the cylinder. To enable the plates to be slipped on or off the cylinders without removing them, the bearings for each perfecting-set are formed as shown in Fig. 2. The impression cylinders are mounted in the bearings 3<c>, and the plate cylinders are mounted in ring bearings 3<a>, supported by webs 3b sufficiently narrow to permit the gap in the plate to pass over. The bearings are braced by a transverse rod passing through holes 3<e>. The plate cylinders are provided with a longitudinal slot 1<z>, which is deeper and broader near the centre of the cylinder. Located in this slot is a double clamp 1<e> carrying a hook 1<g>, which clamp, as it slides into the deeper part of the slot, falls completely below the surface of the cylinder. As the plate P, Fig. 6, is pushed on, it engages the hook 1<g> and draws the clamp 1<e> along the inclined groove so that it rises behind the plate. The clamp 1<e> is then pushed up to the first plate by the second plate P', thus locking the first plate against the abutment 1<w>. The second plate is then clamped by a jaw 1<i>, which, when withdrawn to its extreme position by the screw 1<j>, can be turned over into a recess 1<o> to permit the plates to be passed over.

The upper sash is provided at its upper corners with sliding bolts 27, and slides in channel members 18 secured to the lower sash. The movement of the upper sash is limited by stops 17, 26, on the lower and upper sashes respectively so that it is raised into the roof space and lowered therefrom by the movement of the lower sash. The upper sash can be held in various positions, when lowered, by the engagement of the sliding bolt 27 with recesses in the stanchions.

Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 10,509. Hopthrow, J. E. J. P. May 4. Couplings, automatic, of the type in which a coupling-link enters a draw-head and trips a pin, which then springs into engagement with the link. In the interior of the coupling-head b is a square block k, the upper part acting as a slide to close the space m. The spiral spring l presses against the block k, which, by an internal rib g, holds the link h against the pin g<1> of the draw-bar. When the block is pushed back by the opposing link i, it presses back the slide and allows the pin n to drop into the position shown. This is assisted by the spring p surrounding the pivot u, which presses on an arm q of the lever o. Another spring v keeps the pin nearly vertical except when, for shunting purposes, it is desired to prevent the gear from coupling. Uncoupling is performed by rotating the shaft s, which operates the cam r, to press upon the lever arm q and raise the pin n.

Abstract: 13,787. Neue Kramerlicht-Ges. June 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Pilot jets; lighting burners, lighting-holes for.-In a device for kindling inverted burners arranged in a closed lamp casing in which the pilot-flame is lit through an opening in the casing, a gas jet 8 is arranged in proximity to the wall of the casing, and the elongated flame, guided by the pipe 10 towards the chimney 12 situated in the centre of the lamp casing, kindles the pilot-jets 9, which, in turn, light the illuminating-burners 6. The jets 9 may be dispensed with when only one or two main burners are used. The length of the flame issuing from the burner 8 may be regulated by controlling the air supply to the pipe 10 through the air-admission aperture 11. A multiple-cock 2 with an operating-arm 13 is provided, the cock being so arranged that the rotation of the arm 13 first supplies gas to the jets 8, 9, and then to the burners 6, finally cutting off the gas supply to the pipe 4 and extinguishing the pilot-jets.

Abstract: 30,101. Turner, E., and Fenwick, G. Dec. 24. Contacts. - An armoured carbon contact, for contactbreakers used with induction coils, time clocks, magnetos, and other inductive electric appliances, comprises in combination a m e t a l holder b enclosing a piece, stick, or block of carbon a for nearly the whole of its length, a screw c for micrometrically adjusting the carbon in its holder, and a check-nut d upon the screw for regulating the adjustment, the screw c also serving to secure the holder b upon the part designed to carry it, and the nut d allowing for the adjustment of the holder. The exterior of the holder may be knurled or milled to facilitate gripping during adjustment, and also to allow the carbons of two contacts to be rotated and ground one against the other to ensure good contact. An increased area of contact is obtained by providing one carbon of a pair with a conical point and the other with a conical recess. The armouring provides a mechanical strengthening for the carbon, and a low resistance path for the current.
