Filed: 1944-10-09
Abstract: 585,064. Automatic control systems for electricity supply systems. BROCK, P. R. W. Oct. 9, 1944, No. 19318. [Class 38 (iv)] Voltage.-An electromagnetic relay for voltage regulation of a D.C. circuit, of the type in which an electromagnetic force applies a torque to a rotatable member in opposition to some other force, is compensated for variation of the electromagnetic force resulting from ambient temperature changes by the torque due to a weight positioned relative to the rotatable member by a bimetallic strip influenced by the ambient temperature. In Figs. 1 and 2 a relay for voltage regulation, of the type described in Specification 465,058, in which the pull exerted on a plunger 9 by a solenoid 11 is constant over the working range of displacement for a constant voltage and a two-way mercury switch 2, controlling a voltage regulator through a reversible servomotor, is mounted on a plate 1, rotatable about the axis of a spindle 3 by movement of plunger 9 transmitted through linkage 6, 7, 8 and normally vertical with the mercury switch in its " off " position when the voltage is at the desired value, is compensated for ambient temperature changes, which affect the resistance of solenoid 11, by a weight 19 attached to one end of a bimetallic strip 17 clamped at its other end to the plate 1 at 18. Movement of the weight in one direction or the other from a normal position with its centre of gravity on the produced axis of spindle 3 according to the sense of the temperature change, produces a torque about spindle 3 in the appropriate sense for compensation. Distortion of the strip due to the weight is prevented by additional bimetallic strips 20 and 21 on either side of strip 17. In a modification (not shown), the weight is suspended by hooks from a support fixed to spindle 3 and moved by a bimetallic strip in the form of a flat spiral, one end of which is attached to the weight and the other end to the support.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the navigation of towed aircraft
IPC: G01C19/04
Filed: 1945-07-27
Abstract: 596,513. Towing aircraft. WILKINSON, K. G. July 27, 1945, No. 19327. [Class 4] Apparatus for indicating the position of a towed aircraft comprises an indicator, mechanism for actuating the indicator from the element connecting the aircraft to the towing craft or vehicle to indicate variations in the angle of the element from a predetermined position, and a device for indicating the horizon arranged to actuate the indicator independently of the mechanism. As shown an indicator line comprising two cables 7, 8 with a length of elastic cord 9 between them, is attached at one end to the tow line 1, and at the other, by means of an automatic release 10, to the nose of the glider 2, the movements of the line being transmitted to a rod 15 by an arm 12 carrying a spring clip 13 engaging the cable 8. The rod 15 is attached to a ball member 16, Fig. 4, carrying vertical and horizontal arms 25, 26, connected by the inner members of Bowden cables 32, 33 to an indicator, Fig. 6, the cable 32 being connected to a bell crank 34, 38 carrying a pointer 39, and the cable 33 to an arm 40 operating a bell crank 42, 44, which through members 62, 63, 45 actuates a pointer 46 pivotally mounted at its lower end. A guide 51 attached to the pointer mounting engages a pin 53 operated by the banking indicator 58 of a gyro artificial horizon. The pointer 46 thus indicates errors in yaw and banking angle, and the pointer 39 errors in pitch. The indicator may be rendered inoperative by raising the members 62, 63 by means of a lever 69, the crank-arm 44 being disengaged from, and a stop pin 70 being engaged with, slots 65, 66, respectively, in the member 63, in which case the pointer 46 is moved solely under the control of the gyro unit and thus functions as a bank indicator. Where conditions permit, the indicator line may be dispensed with, the arm 12 engaging directly with the tow rope 1, and the member 15 mounted on the indicator itself, thus avoiding the use of the Bowden cables 32, 33.
