Title: Improvements in the Sighting Apparatus for Ordnance
Inventor: SCOTT LOTHIAN KERR
Filed: 1907-03-19
Granted: 1908-05-18
Abstract: 6539. Scott, L. K. March 19. Sights; field carriages.-Consists in the adaptation of the automatic sighting - apparatus described in Specification No. 7584, A.D. 1898, to field guns. Figs. 4 and 5 show in rear and side elevation respectively, the application of the invention to guns with sighting-apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 21,123, A.D. 1903, upon which is superposed the " all-round deflexion " apparatus described in Specification No. 20,203, A.D. 1904. The carrier 1 of the sighting-telescope J is pivoted at J<4> to a frame D, which is mounted by trunnions D' in a bracket C so as to be parallel at all times to the axis of the bore of the gun. When the gun is elevated for range, the roller G<1> is automatically moved along the range - cam curve J<1>, and the telescope J is thereby elevated through the same angle that the breech of the gun is depressed, and, but for the automatic correction for drift which is effected 'by the movement of a pin 5<a> in a guide groove 8 in the guide 6 on the frame D, the line of sight would remain directed upon the target, unless the trunnion axis of the gun were inclined. The all-round deflexion plates 39, 40, and telescope 42, for indirect laying are mounted upon the telescope J. The sighting - apparatus is crosslevelled by a screw w; the axis of rotation of the frame D is arranged to coincide with the pitch-line of the teeth of the rack G<3>, and the teeth are rounded so as always to engage with the teeth of the pinion P3. A range-dial graduated upon its edge in degrees for measuring the " angle of sight," and having upon its face an adjustable range scale, may be provided. In a modification, the caxrier 1 has a roller which rests upon a rotatable range-cam carried by the frame D. The gun-elevating gears may be so arranged that the gear for elevating the gun and sight together is located below the barrel, and the gear for elevatiiig the gun for range relatively to the line of sight is situated above the Barrel. The rack on the upper carriage, or elevating arm, which effects the automatic working of the sight, may be at such a distance from the trunnions asto render the multiplying-gear described iii Specification No. 7584, A.D. 1898. unnecessary. A shield may be pivoted upon the gun trunnions and caused to move with the gun in elevation and depression. In the Provisional Specification are described modifications of the apparatus described in Specification No. 20,203, A.D. 1904, alternative means for cross-levelling the automatic sights, means for sighting over the wheels and shield of the gun-carriage, and a method of mounting a non- automatic sight in place of the automatic sight. Specifications No. 159, A.D. 1894, No. 6429, A.D. 1899, Nos: 235 and 25,585; A.D. 1901, No. 5501, A.D. 1903, and No. 4735, A.D. 1905, are also referred to.

Inventor: LINGNER KARL AUGUST
Filed: 1907-03-21
Granted: 1907-09-26
Abstract: 6843. Lake, H. H., [Lingner, K. A.]. March 21. Formaldehyde compounds.-Copaiba balsam or resin is treated with formaldehyde, preferably in the presence of a condensing agent, to obtain solid products having antiseptic properties, and useful as medicines or as additions to lacquers and varnishes. The balsam or resin is dissolved in a neutral solvent such as petroleum ether, benzine &c., and aqueous formaldehyde solution and an acid condensation agent such as hydrochloric, sulphuric, or phosphoric acid are added. The mixture may be heated. After the reaction, the condensation agent is neutralized, caustic lye is added, and the mixture is diluted with water. Two layers are formed, the upper one consisting of the essential oils of the balsam dissolved in the neutral solvent, and the lower one being an alkaline solution of the condensation products. Separation is effected by the addition of dilute acid.

Title: Improvements relating to the Oscillatory Circuits of Radio-telegraph Systems.
Filed: 1907-04-18
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 9051. Amalgamated Radio-Telegraph Co., [Rosenthal H.]. April 18. Telegraphs.-Relates to receiver arrangements for wireless telegraphy containing closed highfrequency oscillatory circuits of small damping, and consists in utilizing the same oscillatory circuit for each kind of detector in such a manner that no alteration'of tuning is required. The oscillatory circuit comprises the adjustable capacity C and self-induction coil L<1> which may be used for inductively connecting the circuit with the receiver system. L<3> is one of the detectors ; the capacity and inductance of the member L' correspond to those of the detector L<3>. The other detector O has negligable inductance and capacity. If the energy of the oscillations is small, the switch U' is moved to the left, so as to operate with the detector L<3> alone. If more energy is available, both switches are moved to the right, the detector O being used to measure the periodicity and damping. If the detectors produce excessive damping, they should be used in a shunt circuit with a condenser.
