Title: Improvements in Method of and Apparatus for Taking Stereoscopic Photographs.
Filed: 1906-03-03
Granted: 1907-06-03
Abstract: 5267. Bug-Ges. zur Verwetung von Efundungen, and Barnack, G. March 4, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act 1901] No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Stereoscopes.-Relates to methods and apparatus for taking stereoscopic photographs in which a single objective is used in combination with mirrors. In order that the positions of the mirrors in relation to the objective may be fully determined, it is necessary to know the following elements, namely, the angle of inclination of the mirrors, the inclination of the bisector between the mirrors to the optical axis, and the distances of the mirrors apart from each other and' from the objective. From theoretical considerations which are described and worked out in the Specification, it is shown that these elements are only determined by constants for any particular camera. Accordingly these considerations are utilized in apparatus having stops, rests, scales, or the like which indicate these determinate adjustments of the mirrors, and from which further it is seen to what photographic apparatus the adjustments are suitable and what adjustments it renders possible. The mirrors may be hinged together or separately adjustable towards and away from one another. Either plane or convex mirrors may be used. The mirrors may further be arranged so that the images need not be reversed for viewing. In one form of apparatus, the folding mirrors 2, 3, Fig. 5, are hinged or they may be mounted by a back angular bar pivoted to one of the mirrors and adapted further to bold the mirrors together when folded. The hinge 12 is extended by a tenon fitting into a boring in the rod 10, and is arranged in connexion with the screw 11 that it can be set to-take right and left hand views. In other modified constructions, one of which is illustrated in Fig. 16, the mirrors are mounted in a case, and one or both spring or unfold into correct positions. One or both may be adjustable, the adjustments being determined by the rules governing the relative position of the mirrors. In other modifications, the mirrors are separated and held apart, and may themselves form part of the case. When a viewfinder is used, it is mounted as an adjustable mirror 35, Fig. 21, so as to halve the angle between the mirrors 33, 34. The mirrors in this case may be adjusted by trial and by focussing. Fig. 25 illustrates a modified device for mounting the mirrors. The telescoping bars 36, 37 are clamped to the camera by side angle pieces 40, 41. The mirrors are held by a cramp 45 of the slotted support 43 which is clamped to the sleeve 44.

Title: Improvements in the Sinking of Pit and other Shafts the Invention being also applicable to the Building of Dock Walls.
Inventor: WILKINSON REUBEN
Filed: 1906-03-23
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 6969. Wilkinson, R., and Tate, J. H. March 23. Sea and retaining walls; piles; piledrivers; caissons.-Relates to a method of sinking shafts through quicksand and water, also applicable to building dock walls. A course of plates a is erected above the sand strata. Each course has strips b to engage the edge of an adjacent plate and so formed that when put together a slightly conical cylinder or caisson is produced. The plates are driven by pile-drivers k sliding in brackets m having jaws n to fit over the plates. The drivers k are operated by ropes j passing over pulleys g, which are carried by runners i on a guider d. In some cases, hydraulic rams may be used. When the first course of plates has been driven down and tightened by wedges c, a second course of plates is erected inside the first, and, to prevent water from entering, the two courses are forced against one another by means of wedges which are driven between the second course of plates and a ring placed inside and near the top of the second course. The second course is then driven down and the wedges c tightened, any openings between the two courses being filled in with wedges. The operation is repeated with. subsequent courses until the entire depth of sand has been sunk through. Ordinary tubbing may be placed inside the plates, the space between being filled with concrete, or the plates may be withdrawn. When sinking through a mixture of sand and water, a cradle of wood or iron may be employed to fill up the bottom of the shaft. The cradle, which may be suspended or rest on the sand, is formed with holes through which water may be pumped. As applied to building dock walls, the plates a are made flat and the wedges c are dispensed with.

Abstract: 19,929. Bastin, T. H. Sept. 7. Variable-speed and reversing gearing. - Relates to change-speed and reversing gearing for motorvehicles, comprising bevel reversing-gearing arranged in combination with the differential gear on the driven axle. The planet pinions D4 of the differential gear are mounted on the arms of a member E, which project into orifices E<1> in the enlarged ends D<7> of sleeves D<5>, D<6> enveloping the two lengths D<1>, D of the divided axle. A pin (not shown) crossing between the lengths D', D supports the member E at its centre. The reversing-gear is composed of bevel-wheels F, F<1> sliding loosely on the sleeves D<5>, D<6>, respectively, and adapted to mesh alternatively with a bevel-wheel C<2> upon the driven shaft C of the variable gear. The wheels F, F' are connected to the parts D<7> by rods F<2> passing through the latter, and also by pins H projecting from the faces of the wheels adapted also to thrust lubricant into the gear box. This pear is operated by a fork G engaging trunnions G<3> upon a square &c. collar F<5> riding on the boss of the wheel F<1>. The variable gear comprises a pair of sliding gears and a pair of fixed gears on each of its shafts B, C. Each wheel of a pair may consist of a toothed annulus, such as K, K', with a central flange which is bolted to a flange such as K<5> on a fixed or sliding sleeve such as K<3>. The sliding pairs are operated by rods 0, L which lie in the same plane as the shafts B, C, namely; in the plane of division of the gear case A. The rods 0, L, which are held in position by spring detents P, are traversed through the agency of a transverse rocking shaft R. The shaft R carries arms R', R' provided with pins r<1>, r<2> adapted to engage alternatively eyes O<2>, L' in the ends of the rods. The shaft R is held towards the left of Fig. 2 by a spring R<3>, unless thrust to the right by a push-rod T<4> inside a hollow spindle S', which is oscillated by a handle S to effect the rocking of the shaft R. Connexion between the spindle S' and the rod R is effected by an arm S<3> upon the former engaging a slot S<4> in an extension S<5> of the arm R'. The lower part of the casing A has grooves A<4>, Fig. 4, engaged by the frame of the vehicle, and the upper part has lugs A<6>, Fig. 2, extending over and bolted to the frame members.

Abstract: 13,403. Boult, A. J., [Soc. Anon. di Construzioni Meccaniche Freni a Ricupero Cantono F A. R.]. June 10. Gas and like engines, starting in. A spring- actuated turning-gear particularly applicable to the motors of road vehicles is compressed automatically. The expansion of the spring 6 acts through a rack 5, loose pinion 1, and ratchet-wheel 3, and a part 4 on an arm on the motor shaft 2 to turn this shaft. In order to compress the spring, a pinion 7, mounted on an arm 8 wbich turns about the shaft 2, is put into gear with the rack by toggle-levers 12, 11. The pinion 1 is driven by a wheel 9 attached to it and gearing with a pinion 10 keyed on the shaft 2.
