Patent GB-190819450-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Telegraphy.
Inventor: MUIRHEAD ALEXANDER
Filed: 1908-09-16
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 19,450. Mulrhead, A. Sept. 16. Telegraphs. - The invention comprises improvements in the retransmission of cable signals, as in Specification No. 10,120, A.D. 1901. (1) A retransmitting and recording instrument, shown in Fig. 1, comprises a siphon recorder e, to the long limb of which is attached a contact wire c, preferably of gold, which passes between two adjustable contacts f and is fixed at the other end to the armature of the vibrator a at a point in line with the suspension fibre d. The distance between the contacts f is adjustable by a right and left handed screw g', and their transverse position is adjusted by a screw h<2> which slides the column k carrying the platform g. An index j on a hinged projection of the paper platform j<2> serves to fix the position of the wire c, when central between the contacts f. (2) An equivalent of the receiving circuit, consisting of a recorder in series with a shunted condenser, both being shunted by an inductance as in Specification No. 5589, A.D. 1901, is connected to the end of the artificial line at the relay station. This improves the duplex balance and also facilitates adjustment of the relay, for if the latter is out of adjustment it will be observed that the recorded signals are of different sizes on the two sides of the zero line. This arrangement may be adopted also at the terminal stations. (3) The local circuit arrangements at the relay station are shown in Fig. 4. The relay z which receives signals from the incoming cable is of the sort described above in connexion with Fig. 1. It controls a second stretched-wire relay z<1> of similar type which operates the electro-magnetic transmitter p for re-transmitting into the second cable. (4) The relay z<1> and re-transmitter p, Fig. 4, may be replaced by a single instrument comprising two stretched wires attached at one end to a fork which is carried by suspending-fibres and adapted to be rocked by a moving coil. As shown diagrammatically in Fig. 6, the stretched wires c are normally in contact with a pair of connected contacts q which can be swivelled for adjustment. When the fork t is moved, one of the wires c is moved from contact q to an outside contact r. Condensers x serve to prevent sparking. Specification No. 3343, A.D. 1900, is referred to in the Provisional Specification.

Title: Improvements in Reversible Turbines.
Inventor: MCMILLAN THOMAS
IPC: F01D1/30
Filed: 1909-07-30
Granted: 1910-08-02
Abstract: 17,696. McMillan, T., and Carey, J. July 30. Reversing.-A reversible turbine is fitted with sets of pivoted blades, the steam, after operating on one set, passing on to the next. The reversing is effected by admitting the steam to oppositely-directed ports, thus causing the blades to turn on their pivots, and assume the proper position for driving. A conical casing A with inlet and exhaust passages A<3>, A<3*> contains a rotor which is divided into annular compartments c, d, e, f, g by rings a<1> ... a<6> fitting closely against the interior of the casing. The rings are recessed on their faces, the recesses b being triangularly shaped so as to receive blades b<1>, which are mounted between adjacent rings so as to be capable of turning on pivots b<2>. A number of pairs of passages such as g<9> and g<15> are arranged round each compartment, one of each pair for admission and one for exhaust. They are controlled and their functions reversed by flaps h actuated by rods H, one of which is common to all the similarly-situated flaps of each compartment. Steam is admitted from the inlet A<3> to distributing-channels communicating with the chambers containing the flaps of the first compartment. Thence it reaches the wheel through either the passages g<9>, or g<15>, and exhausts through the others, and passes in a helical direction to the inlets of the next compartment, and so on round the turbine. The blades are turned into, and are kept in their proper positions for forward or reverse driving, against packing-stops a<7>, by the steam pressure.
