Title: An Improved Process for Making Colour Screens for Colour Photography and like purposes.
Filed: 1908-10-15
Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 21,839. Vereinigte - Kunstseidefabriken Akt.-Ges. July 13, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Colour photography ;screens.-In making colour screens, a series of lines from an etched block are impressed in a transparent or translucent material, such as celluloid, forming a relief therein, and the raissd and recessed parts are coloured separately. For a two-colour screen, the raised parts c, Fig. 2, and back are protected by printers' ink and varnish, and the sheet is immersed in an alcoholic colouring- solution, whereby the recesses d are coloured. The protective coating is removed from the raised parts, and the surface coloured, by a roller coated with a fine cloth and impregnated with a second alcoholic colour solution. A thickening-substance, such as resin, may be added to the alcoholic solution. For a three or four coloured screen, after colouring the recesses and removing the protecting-coating, the sheet is impressed again cross-ways, preferably at right-angles, a second protective coating is applied to the raised parts, and the sheet is immersed in a second colour solution. The sheet then shows the original colour spaces e, Fig. 3, the second colour spaces f, and the cross squares g, which will be a third colour or blackish according to the colours used. To colour the remaining raised spaces h, a bichromate sensitive coating is applied, exposed from the rear, whereby the coating on the raised parts is rendered insoluble on development, and may be coloured by immersion in a watery colour solution. To bring the surface into one plane, the celluloid is pressed under the application of heat. To employ water-colours for colouring, the celluloid before impression with the etched matrix is coated thinly with gelatine, casein, or the like to take the colour. In this way other supports that do not themselves take colour may be adapted for making the screens.

Title: Improvements in Percussion Fuses for Projectiles.
IPC: F42C15/22
Filed: 1909-05-10
Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 11,032. Mallock, A., and Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G. May 10. Projectiles fuses. -Consists in constructing the fuse so that the pressure of the air during flight is caused to actuate a piston adapted to compress a spring for a considerable distance, and to unlock a device, which, until it is thus unlocked, holds the percussion pellet safe, so that this pellet is then free to act on the impact of the projectile. In one form, Fig. 1, the air pressure is transmitted through passages f, g, d<1> to the lower side of the piston d, which is held down by a spring e and, by means of pins c, holds the centrifugal bolts b in locking engagement with the pellet a. An outlet h permits air to escape from the back of the piston. In a modification, the air pressure is transmitted through mercury, which fills the passages f, g and is confined by a small plug in the orifice f. In another modification the passage g is disposed centrally. Centrifugal or spring catches may be provided to hold the piston in the forward position after it has released the locking-device b. The release of the pellet may be delayed by constricting either the inlet or the outlet for the air. Any usual safety device may also be used to hold the piston in a safe position.
