Title: Improvements in or relating to mountings for engine units in vehicles
IPC: B60K5/12
Filed: 1945-08-03
Abstract: 603,643. Mounting engines. JULIEN, M. F. A. Aug. 3, 1945, No. 20064. Convention date, Nov. 16, 1943. [Class 79 (iii)] [Also in Groups XXVI and XXXII] The engine-gear box unit is mounted in a vehicle chassis frame by a single elastic support located substantially at its centre of gravity, such support permitting angular displacements of the engine about its centre of gravity in all directions, but resisting lateral displacements. Additional supports may be provided, preferably along one of the axes of inertia. The invention is particularly suitable for the mounting of flat twin cylinder engines. Fig. 2 shows such an engine having a crank case 1, horizontally opposed cylinders 2, 3, differential 9 with laterally extending driving shafts, and gear box 8. The centre of gravity of the power unit is at G and the main engine support is provided by an elastic member 13 carried between a pair of cheeks 21 depending from the tubular frame cross-member 23. An additional support is provided at 30. If the drive is taken from the rear end of the gear box, the support 30 is replaced by two supports 30a, 30b, Fig. 11, carried by the longitudinal frame members 25. The support 13 may comprise an annular elastic member 14, Fig. 3, disposed between two sleeves 15, 16, and to increase its resilience to angular movements in the plane of the pin 23, annular grooves 17 may be provided in the end faces of the elastic member. Alternatively, in the form shown in Fig. 5, the annular elastic member is in two halves 18 pre-stressed in the direction of the arrows f, the two inner sleeves 16 being held together by a tubular member 19 whose ends are turned over to embrace the sleeves 16 ; the sides of the annular elastic member 18 contact the cheeks 21 so that displacement meets with a progressively increasing resistance. In a further modification, Fig. 6, the support may comprise a spherical centre 16, resilient member 14 and correspondingly shaped outer member 15 ; or in a further modification (not shown) a similar effect is obtained by placing together a pair of conically shaped elements. The additional support 30 may comprise a central horizontal tongue 31, Fig. 8, mounted between two blocks of resilient material, which may have internal cavities 34a, 34b; the outer faces of the blocks are connected to the chassis frame 24. In all cases the resilient material may be bonded to the metal supports. Specifications 590,006, 600,203, [both in Group XXVII], and 603,642, [Group XXXII] are referred to.

Title: Articulated steam locomotive with bogies
IPC: B61C1/02
Filed: 1930-07-03
Abstract: 364,606. Locomotives. SKODA WORKS, PLZEN, 37A, Jungmannova, Prague. July 3, 1930, No. 20236. Convention date, July 4, 1929. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. [Class 79 (i).] In an articulated steam locomotive having two driven bogies the adhesion weights of the front and rear bogies are utilized to different extents; thus, the bogies may have steam engines of equal capacity but one bogie may have a larger number of coupled axles than the other, or the bogies may have an equal number of coupled bogies but one engine may be more powerful than the other. In the construction shown the main frame 4 carrying the boiler 1, cab 2, and tender 3 is supported on driving bogies 6, 7. The fuel and water are mainly supported by the rear bogie 7 and it is arranged that the power of this bogie corresponds only to the minimum loading due to the water and fuel, while the front bogie, the load on which does not vary appreciably, is of greater power, e.g. the engine of the front bogie may have three cylinders and the rear engine only two. A water tank 5 may be carried under the cab 2. The steam supply to the two bogies may be independently cut off or controlled.

Title: Multi-directional sound signal recording and reproduction systems
IPC: G11B20/00
Filed: 1974-05-08
Abstract: 1473533 Quadraphonic systems NIPPON COLUMBIA KK and D H COOPER 8 May 1974 [10 May 1973] 20289/74 Heading H4R In a quadraphonic recording system in which four separate input channel signals are encoded to produce first and second main channel signals and first and second sub-signals and each main signal is added to a respective angle modulated signal for recording on the respective groove wall of a disc, the angle modulated signals are formed by taking the sum and the difference of the first sub-signal and part of the second subsignal for the respective channels. As described the main channel signals TL and TR and the sub channel signals TT and TQ are related to the four channel signals SLF SRF SLB and SRB according to the relations In the prior art Fig. 1 (not shown) the signal recorded on the left channel of the record was TL plus a carrier angle modulated by TT and the signal on the right channel was TR plus a carrier angle modulated by TQ. In the systems according to the present invention the signals TT and TQ are passed through a matrix 10, Fig. 9, to derive TTkTQ and TT - kTQ which angle modulate respective identical carriers before addition to respective signals TL and TR for recording on the groove walls. In addition the signal TQ can be passed through a 130 Hz high pass filter 15, with the signals TL, TR, and TT passing through all pass filters 16a, 16b and 16c, having similar phase characteristics to filter 15, so as to reduce beat distortion in the reproduced signal. In an alternative form the signal TQ is fed to the matrix circuit 10 through a limiter circuit (17), Fig. 11 (not shown) or an equalizer (18), Fig. 13 (not shown) which reduces the low frequency content by a specific amount in order to achieve reduction in beat distortion. It is also suggested that a similar effect can be achieved by modifying the equalizers 11a and 11b on the feed to the angle modulators, and which normally have similar characteristics to the RIAA characteristics of the recording equalizers 23 provided on the main channel signals, to give characteristics which are different for the sum signal and the difference signal. For reproduction of the records the system can be substantially the same as the prior art, with the addition of a matrix circuit 28, Fig. 16, to derive the signals TT and TQ from the angle modulated sub carrier signals, after equalization in equalizers 27a and 27b to compensate the equalizers 11a and 11b used in recording, and the inclusion of an additional equalizer 29 on the TQ signal if an equalizer (18) was included in the TQ signal channel on recording. The use of equalizers in the sub signal path similar to the equalizers in the main signal path is the subject of Specification 1,473,532.
