The arms 8 contain tight-fitting insulating liners 16 making a good fit around metal rods 17 which constitute the two arms of the T-assembly, the rods being retained in position by C washers 20 engaging circumferential grooves in the rods adjacent both ends of the arms 8 and resilient rubber washers 21, 23 being interposed between the C washers and the ends of the liners to prevent the ingress of moisture. The leg of the T assembly comprises a metal tube 12 with a transverse plate 13 welded near to one end which is inserted in the boss 11 with the plate bolted to the face thereof; the outer end of the hole in the boss is enlarged to receive a packing- ring 15. As described with respect to Fig. 1, the rods 17 constitute supports for the two light-alloy tubular arms 18 of a dipole aerial, the arms 18 fitting over the outer ends of rods 17 and being secured thereto by set-screws and nuts 18<SP>1</SP> and the feeder being connected to the inner ends of rods 17 by screws 19. The member 12 constitutes a support arm for the dipole and a transverse plate 24 is welded to the end remote from the box 7, the plate being bolted to a structure 25. Alternatively the plate 24 may be bolted to a short piece of angle metal clamped to a chimney stack, Fig. 2 (not shown). For an H-type aerial system the plate 24 is fixed to one side of a vertical support member to the other side of which is fixed a similar plate bearing a horizontal member carrying at its free end a T-piece supporting insulated reflector elements, Fig. 3 (not shown), on the two plates may be bolted to a U-bracket fixed to the end of a bent rod supported in lugs extending from a member attached to a chimney stack, Fig. 5 (not shown); Fig. 4 (not shown) illustrates a modified system employing three reflector elements spaced transversely to the line of the horizontal support 12. In a modification, Fig. 6, suitable for an indoor unipole aerial, the cover-plate 9 is extended to form a base fixing plate, the aerial rod 18 is insulatedly mounted in the boss 11, the insulating liners 16 are omitted and earthing rods 29 are pivoted to the support-rods 17 (not shown) so that the rods 29 may be disposed parallel to the aerial rod 18 during installation and opened out at right-angles thereto after installation. In this case a coaxial feeder is used with the inner conductor connected to the aerial 18 and the sheath to the junction-box.

If the second stage is carried out according to procedure (a), it can be followed by treatment with a solid adsorbent, and if it is carried out according to procedure (b), it can be followed by treatment with acid, neutralization and treatment with a solid adsorbent. The hydrogenated product can be dewaxed, using a methyl ethyl ketone/ toluene mixture, preferably between the two hydrogenation stages and the wax recycled to the first stage. The first stage hydrotreating can be carried out at 300-425‹ C. and a hydrogen partial pressure of 10-250 bar. In examples: (1) a wax obtained by dewaxing a residual oil fraction, which had previously been deasphalted with propane and extracted with furfural, is hydrotreated using a sulphided Ni-W-F-Al 2 O 3  catalyst, topped and dewaxed; the dewaxed oil is then hydrotreated using a Pt-Al 2 O 3  catalyst to produce medicinal oils and technical white oils and (2) a deoiled wax, obtained by dewaxing a residual fraction of a hydrocrackate which had been prepared by hydrocracking a propane-deasphalted residual lubricating oil fraction, is hydrotreated in two stages using a sulphided Ni-Mo-P-F-Al 2 O 3  catalyst; a product of carrying out the second stage hydrotreating at 275‹ C. is topped at 425‹ C. and the 425‹ C. + fraction dewaxed to produce an oil A, a product of carrying out the second stage hydrotreating at 300‹ C. is topped at 270‹ C. and split into a 270-425‹ C. fraction which is dewaxed to provide a fraction B, and a 425‹ C. + fraction which is dewaxed to provide a fraction C. An oil D is obtained by blending 63% weight of oil B with 37% of oil C and the oils A, C and D are treated with 3% earth to produce medicinal oils.

Abstract: 1325334 Continuous casting MONSANTO CO 1 July 1970 [2 July 1969] 31868/70 Heading B3F [Also in Division C1] A fibre or filament is spun by extruding a stream 31 of molten material having a viscosity less than one poise at a Rayleigh parameter, between 1 and 25 (where V, #, D and γ are the stream velocity, density, diameter and surface tension respectively), into a gas so that a stabilizing film is formed about the stream between a point ("relaxation point") along the stream where the velocity profile 32 across the stream is flat and a point ("MPV point") where variations in the stream diameter due to wave growth first exceed 10% of the stream diameter. The melt may be Al, Cu, Fe, Pb or Sn; alloys such as Pb-Sn, steel, steel alloys or brass; intermetallic compounds; or metalloids such as As, Bo or Si. The film (e.g. formed on the stream by O 2 , propane, ammonia, BoCl 3  and water, CS 2 , CO 2  or CO in the atmosphere into which the stream is extruded) may be prevented from forming where the velocity profile 32 is insufficiently relaxed (and film disruption is likely) by protection by an inert gas before entering the film-forming atmosphere or by selection of the concentration of the filmforming component of the atmosphere, e.g. O 2  in an He/O 2  atmosphere. A gas plate as described in Specification 1,308,979 may be used for introduction of the inert gas as a flow to accelerate the melt surface and thus assist the flattening of the velocity profile 32. The relaxation distance 33 is preferably about one-half the continuous jet length 36, i.e. the length before break-up, and the orifice 19 has a low aspect ratio and small diameter. A charge of metal is melted in a crucible assembly (13), e.g. of stainless steel, by an inductor coil (20) and susceptor (12). Gas pressure then forces the melt (16) through an orifice (19) in an insert (18), e.g. of alumina, in a base member (14).
