Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for use in the control of guns from a distant station
IPC: F41G5/14
Filed: 1922-05-15
Abstract: 206,874. Vickers, Ltd., and Perham, A. L. May 15, 1922. Sights.-Retates to apparatus for use in controlling the training of guns from a distant station, of the kind in which a correctional mechanism including a variable-ratio device is associated with a cross-levelling element and a training transmitter or indicator; for example, as described in Specification 160,977. According to the invention, the variable-ratio device is so constructed and arranged that the training correction required to compensate for inclined trunnion axis is applied by hand or power-operated gear directly to the transmitter or indicator, the variable-ratio device being interposed between the hand or power gear and the cross-lavelling element. As shown in Fig. 5, the variable-ratio device comprises a lever C fulcrumed on a pin c' adjustable along an elevation or range scale B', and connected at one end to a cross-levelling sight B<1> by linkwork C<3>, b<2> and at the other end to a pin c<4> on a nut threaded on a screw c<5> worked by a hand-wheel C<5> to keep the crosslevelling sight horizontal. The rotation of the screw c<5> is a measure of the training correction required for inclination of gun trunnions and is superimposed by a differential gear D on the training of the gun measured by the vertical shaft D<2>, and the corrected training is thus transmitted to the pointers d<2>, d<3> for reading off against the indications received from the distant control station. In a modification, the crosslevelling element, the variable-ratio device, and the operating means therefor are arranged at the control station to correct the training angle before transmission. In a further modification of this latter arrangement, shown in Fig. 6, the screw c<5> is worked through gearing f<1>, f by an electric motor F controlled automatically by a gyroscope E<1> constituting the cross-levelling element, the upper end of the lever C of the variable-ratio device being connected by the link C<2> to a lever E<3>, which is pivoted on the longitudinal axis of suspension e<2> of the gyroscope and is provided with contacts e<3> adapted to be engaged by a contact arm e<4> on the gyroscope for switching the motor F in and out in one direction or the other. The correctional apparatus may also be arranged at an intermediate station between the gun and the distant control station in the manner described in Specification 165,836.

Abstract: 528,476. Coiling. NORDDEUTSCHE KABELWERKE AKT.-GES. May 8, 1939, No. 13727. Convention date, May 11, 1938. [Class 83 (iv)] In an apparatus producing long springs by rotating a supply reel about a stationary mandrel the coiled spring is discharged from the apparatus by a part of the apparatus which surrounds the mandrel eccentrically and performs a rolling movement in relation to the article. Alternatively the rolling movement may be effected by the mandrel. Wire 7 is coiled about a fixed mandrel 1 by a reel moving with a planetary motion. An eccentric bush 3 is rotated by a pinion 4 to eccentrically rotate a helically grooved bush 5 engaging the spring. Teeth 8 on the bush 5 engage teeth 2 on the mandrel 1 to effect rotation of the bush 5 for feeding the spring. Owing to the eccentric motion of the bush 5 friction between the coil and the bush is reduced. In a modification the mandrel is helically grooved and the cooperating bush is smooth. Two coils may be fed by rotating both the bush and the mandrel.

Title: Improvements in or relating to means for the phase displacement of a wave in a waveguide
IPC: H01P1/18
Filed: 1946-05-08
Abstract: 628,814. Waveguides ; directive radio systems. COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE TELEGRAPHIE SANS FIL. May 8, 1946, No. 13962. Convention date, March 22, 1944. [Classes 40 (v) and 40 (vii)] A rectangular waveguide carrying an H01 wave is coupled to a co-axial transmission line by means of a narrow conducting frame which is arranged in the guide with its long sides parallel to the electric vector at a point in the guide where the magnetic field is rotating. Mathematical analysis is given to show that in a guide. Fig. 4, in which the electric vector is parallel to the shorter side a, the planes along which the magnetic field is rotating are removed from the centre plane of the guide by b # a distance - arc cos -. For a guide dimen- # 2b sioned to give a maximum magnetic field, these planes lie at one third and two-thirds of the distance between the shorter sides. In Fig. 5 a narrow frame A, B, C, D is placed one-third of the distance from one of the shorter sides of a waveguide, and is coupled to an outgoing coaxial line. The frame is closed by the guide wall on the side AC. If the frame is rotated about CD, the phase of the wave fed to the coaxial line may be varied between 0 and 2# relative to the wave in the guide without any change in amplitude. This is used in the radio-goniometer shown in Fig. 6, in which a plane incident wave XY is received.by identihorns Q<1>, Q<2> and waveguides G<1>, G<2>, coupled by rotatable wire frames and coaxial lines to a receiver R. If one of the frames is turned to give a maximum indication in the receiver, the amount turned is an indication of the phase difference in the guides G<1>, G<2>, and from this the direction alpha of the incident wave can be calculated. Fig. 8 shows an arrangement for producing a directive beam which is rapidly swept to and fro across a sector of the horizon. A generator E feeds horn Q<2> directly, and also feeds horn Q<1> through a phase-shifting frame F, which is rapidly rotated to shift the phase through 180 degrees and cause the combined beam to oscillate. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 also describes a modulating device shown in cross-section in Fig. 10 (Cancelled), comprising a rectangular guide G<1> which receives a wave from a generator and is coupled to an emitting guide G2 by coaxial lines F<1>, F<2>, each connected to phase shifting frames a<1> ... d<1> and a2 ... d<2> arranged at <1>/3 and 2/3 the height of the guide. The frames are rotated at the same speed in the same direction and the result in the guide G<2> is the original wave amplitude modulated at the frequency of rotation of the frames. This effects modulation without altering the load on the generator. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
