Patent GB-191000620-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Alternating Current Electro-magnets.
Inventor: ORTON WILFRID JOHN PREVITE
IPC: H01F7/16
Filed: 1910-01-10
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 620. Orton, W. J. P. Jan. 10. Electro-magnets.-In alternating-current magnets having a central core surrounded by a magnetizing- coil and outer limbs separated at one end from a movable armature portion of the central limb by small air-gaps, chattering is prevented by an extra short-circuited conductor placed on one of the faces of the outer'limbs opposite the central limb. The central limb 2 carries rigidly a brass or similar conducting tube 6, which is slotted on one side throughout its length at 7, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. The opposite side is slotted lengthwise over a portion 8 and transversely at 9, 10 to receive the ends 11 of the yoke-piece 4 and form a shortcircuited path as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3 The top of the movable armature 3 carries a rib 13 or is shaped to ensure a tilting of its lower end into frictional engagement with the left-hand side of the tube 6 when the short-circuit currents flow as shown in dotted line in Fig. 5. A conducting rivet 12 assists the suppression of chattering by providing a short-circuit path through the singly-slotted part of the tube 6, as shown in Fig. 5.

Patent GB-191007428-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Electrically Controlled Pressure Regulating Devices.
IPC: G05D16/20
Filed: 1910-03-24
Granted: 1911-03-24
Abstract: 7428. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. March 24. Air supply and draught, regulating. - The pressure of steam from a boiler is maintained constant by modifying the speed of an electrically driven fan supplying the blast. A conducting tube 1 of U- shape has two limbs 6, 7. The limb 6 communicates with a vessel 4 filled with air at a constant pressure about equal to the normal boiler pressure. The limb 7 communicates through an insulating coupling and a syphon bend with the steam boiler 18. One or more conducting rods 15 project into the limb 7 and are supported by insulators therein. Mercury fills the lower part of both limbs 6, 7. As the pressure in the limb 7 varies, the mercury makes or breaks contact with the rod or rods 15. The boiler 18 is furnished with a motor-driven fan 19 supplied with current from mains 32, 34 through resistances 21. Electro-magnetic switches 22, 23 are adapted to short - circuit portions of the resistance 21 when energized. For this purpose, the controlling - device 1 has two conducting rods of different lengths connected respectively through the solenoids 24, 25 to the positive main 32. The metal U-tube 1 is connected to the negative main 34. The pressure in the reservoir 4 is adjusted to say 1 lb. in excess of the required boiler pressure, and suitable means for making good any leakage may be provided. When the boiler pressure decreases, the mercury makes contact with the longer rod and operates the switch 22. The fan is thus speeded up. Should the boiler pressure fall farther, contact is made with the second rod, and the remainder of the resistance is short-circuited to increase further the speed of the fan. As the pressure rises again in the boiler, the reverse action takes place, and the air supply is diminished.
