Abstract: 17,895. Fisher, E., and Peck, r. S. March 21. Radial flow (unbladed) type; combinedflow type.-Steam is admitted through a hollow shaft to the interior of a rotor 7, Figs. 1 and 2, whence it passes through nozzles 19 and reacts against a fixed corrugated casing 1, thereby causing the rotor to turn. The exhaust passes back into the rotor through ports 14, and passes away through the hollow shaft. The turbine may be made to combine the characteristics of radial-flow and circular-flow turbines by the provision of corrugations 16 on the periphery of the rotor. A compound turbine comprises an inner rotor 7, Fig. 3, and a concentric outer rotor 30 connected thereto, an additional stator 34 being provided between the inner and outer rotors. Suitable passages are provided, whereby the steam operates successively in the inner and outer rotors and finally exhausts through the hollow shaft. Regulating.-The nozzles 19 are controlled by balanced piston valves 10, Figs. 1 and 2, connected by rods 18 to a ring 22, secured to a sleeve 20.mounted upon the shaft so as to be capable of a limited amount of rotation. A spring 21 tends to hold the ring 22 in such a position that the valves 10 are fully open, but when the turbine is running, the centrifugal action of the valves acts against the spring 21, thereby closing the valves more or less according to the speed of rotation. A fly-wheel 26 is mounted upon the sleeve 20 so that, in the event of a sudden increase of load, its momentum rotates the sleeve rapidly and opens the valves. Condensation water, collecting and draining. -Ducts 13, Fig. 1, are provided to drain away condensation water from behind the valves 10.

Abstract: 24,442. Abraham, H., and Carpentier, J. Feb. 25, [Convention date]. Electro-magnetic current meters; frequency, inductances, capacities, and resistances, measuring; thermal current-meters.-An apparatus applicable for various electric measurements consists of a stationary electro-magnet 1, Fig. 2, and a coil 2 movable in its field without mechanical control, the magnet and coil being supplied with alternating current from one source, and the coil also connected to a closed electric circuit 4, 8 having positive reactance, so that a current is induced in this circuit. Under these circumstances, the coil assumes a definite position of equilibrium in the field, independent of the supply voltage. Fig. 2 shows one application, for measuring the frequency of a current supplied to terminals 5, the coil 2 being supplied from the ends of a shunt resistance 6 through an inductance 4 and one coil of a mutual inductance 8, the other coil of which is in series with a resistance 7 between the supply terminals 5. Fig. 3 shows a modified arrangement for measuring frequency, including capacity 3; a similar arrangement can be used to measure capacities. Fig. 5 shows connexions for measuring resistance by a bridge method, the movable coil 2 serving to indicate balance. Fig. 7 shows an order transmitter, in which the electro-magnet 19 at the sending end, and the electro-magnet 21 at the receiving end, are supplied with alternating currents in a definite phase relation; the coil 2, being set by hand, supplies induced current to the coil 14, the circuit of which is closed through an inductance 4, independently of the coil 2, by a resistance 20 and a parallel capacity 3. In a modified arrangement of order transmitter, the two electro-magnets are supplied with the same alternating current. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a different apparatus in which the coil in the field of the alternating-current magnet provides current for a thermal current-meter in parallel with a condenser, or for the primary of a transformer, the secondary of which is in circuit with a rectifier and a direct-current indicator. Applications are mentioned of signalling-apparatus such as is shown in Fig. 7, to the transmission and amplification of the readings of galvanometers, and other apparatus in which the induced currents must not react on the movable sending - coil. This subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 2577. Elkington, V. Jan. 31. Actuating; locking.-A valve of the balancedpiston type is provided with packing - rings pressed outwards by fluid pressure, and with a guard for protecting the packing in the inlet when the valve is open, The valve 5 slides in a casing 2, and is connected by a stem 12 to a forked rack 11 engaged by a pinion 20 operated by a spindle and hand-wheel 23. The valve is provided with longitudinal passages 6 to conduct the fluid behind, and so balance, the piston. A packing-ring 7 is held between the valve 5 and an annular member 8, the fluid pressure having access to the rear of the packing-ring to produce a tight joint when the valve is closed. The inlet 3 of the valve is provided with a washer 19 pressed outwards by fluid pressure, which has access to the rear of the washer through ducts 32. When the valve is open, the washer 19 is protected by a ring member 18 connected by a rod 16 to a rack 14. The rack 14 is provided with a recess which, when the valve is open, prevents the pinion 20 from engaging the rack 14. Rotation of the wheel 23 then closes the valve 5. but does not affect the member 18. When the valve reaches its seating, it forces the ring 18 away and so brings the rack 14 into engagement with the pinion 20. When the valve is subsequently opened, the ring 18 moves with the valve until it covers the washer 19. The rack 14 is then out of engagement with the pinion 20 and the further opening of the valve leaves the ring 18 in its position covering the washer 19. A piece of gauze 30 prevents dust &c. from entering the chamber 2. The handle 23 is provided with notches adapted to be engaged by a latch 27 for locking the valve in any position.

Abstract: 9403. Adkins, B. R., and Lewis, W. Y. April 20. Screw-and-nut load-handling machines.-Comprises (1) means for moving a truck from rest with a definite acceleration to engage with a screw thread of increasing pitch by which the speed of the truck is further accelerated; and (2) the application of the truck to launching- apparatus for an aeroplane. Fig. 1 shows the truck-operating means in elevation. The screw shaft A is driven through spur gearing by a motor B, and drives a crank E<1> through worm gearing. The crank reciprocates a cross-head G which carries a pivoted hook pawl H adapted to engage with a projection K on a truck K<1> running between rails L, L<1>. The pawl is held in the operative position by a spring, so that it can move back past the truck. When the crank is on the left-hand dead-centre, the pawl is arranged just to engage the projection K, so that an increasing velocity is imparted to the truck during a quarter-revolution of the crank. At this time a roller K<3> on the projection K engages with the screw-thread A<1> on the shaft, which therefore drives the truck. The pawl may be normally held out of action by a catch so that the truck is not moved until the catch is operated. The rod F connecting the crank and the cross-head G is adjustable in length to vary the position of the cross-head. In a modification, the initial movement of the truck is imparted to it by a cam which is clutched to its shaft when it is desired to start the truck. A series of trucks or receptacles may remain at rest until required and then be despatched separately or in groups. Fig. 7 shows the application to a launching-way for an aeroplane. The truck K is connected to the aeroplane by ropes V which are fixed at one end W and pass round pulleys U<1> on the truck and fixed pulleys U, U<2> and are then detachably connected to the aeroplane, which moves in the opposite direction to the truck and at a greater speed. The aeroplane runs on rails T and is prevented from rising prematurely by guard rails T'. A stop may be provided to prevent the aeroplane from moving when its engine is started, this stop being connected with the catch holding the pawl H, so that the aeroplane is released at the moment the truck starts. The pitch of the screw-thread A' may be decreased towards the end of the shaft in order to slow down the truck K after the aeroplane has been launched, and spring buffers may be provided beyond the end of the thread to stop the truck.
