Abstract: 420. Pfanenschmidt, P. L., and Woodhouse, W. B. Jan. 7. Resistance furnaces.-Large masses of silica glass are produced in a furnace fitted with several resistances which are specially adapted to be rapidly withdrawn. The interior of the furnace is filled with sand, and the current is passed through a number of resistances k arranged in parallel, or partly in parallel and series, in graphite blocks g. When the sand is fused, the resistances k are drawn out on a .trolly b running on rails c. One of the hinged lids A is then opened, and the mass of fused silica is rapidly withdrawn. The distance apart of the walls of the furnace, and hence the thickness of the slab of silica produced, can be adjusted by screws f. The furnace is mounted on trunnions by screws, so that it can be charged in the horizontal position and turned into the vertical position for the heating operation.

Abstract: 2057. Hale, F. M. Jan. 26. Projectile fuses.-Relates to percussion fuses for bombs which are dropped from air-craft and are armed during the fall, and particularly of the kind in which the detonator is normally held at the rear of the bomb and is released during the fall of the bomb, for example as described in Specification 11,394/13. The object of the invention is to enable the detonator to be quickly inserted or removed from the bomb without disassembling the arming- device. According to the invention, the arming-device is carried in a part b which is attached to the base-piece a of the bomb by a screwed nut c, and the detonator 3 is attached to a stump f of the arming-device by spring jaws h which snap over a collar g on the stump f. In a modification, the spring jaws and the collar are screw-threaded, and in another modification, the detonator 3 has a dovetail introduced sideways into a corresponding slot in the stump f. In all cases, lateral displacement of the detonator or of the jaws is necessary to disconnect the detonator from the stump, and accidental disconnexion is prevented by making the detonator or the jaws fit snugly within the basepiece a.

Patent GB-191410664-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Cash Registers.
Inventor: FERDINAND GOTHOT
Filed: 1914-04-30
Abstract: 10,664. Gothot, F., [Firm of]. April 30, 1913, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Cash registers with operating-means; column printing; machines with several item-value totalizers.-In apparatus for separately totalling cash receipts for a number of departments, recording them in corresponding columns on a record-sheet &c., and printing the items on inserted vouchers, the amount is set up by means of handles 12 on setting-wheels 11 in a carriage 99, which is shifted to bring the type above the required column on a drum within the casing 106, Fig. 7. This drum is then rotated by a hand-wheel 97 to bring the line corresponding with the serial number of the transaction under the type. Rotation of a crank-handle thereupon causes the record to be made, the ticket to be printed, and the totalizing-counter, selected from a number of counters by the columnar movement of the carriage, to be actuated. The differentially-set wheels 11, Fig. 1, effect the setting of type-wheels 14, 15, and these are all mounted in a spring-supported frame 7 capable of being depressed to print by the rotation of cams 33 on an operating- shaft 32 provided with a handle for the operator. When the frame descends, thereby printing upon the record-sheet from the lower type-wheels 15, a pin 34 thereon rocks a bell-crank lever 37 to force the platen 39 and the voucher blank inserted at 38 against the voucher type-wheels 14. The ticket is also printed with the name of the seller by means of a fixed electro. An ink ribbon 23 passes over the type-wheels and may be fed by the movements of the frame 7. The ribbon traverses a metal plate 43 provided with an orifice to admit the type. The entire carriage 99 is mounted to run on guides 3, Fig. 4, one of which has a rack engaged by a pinion 80 mounted on the carriage. When the carriage is moved to its position above the required column, the pinion 80 rotates a drum 52 to a corresponding degree, and this places the desired one of a number of counters 54 carried by the drum into the position x. The adjustment of the setting-wheels 11 also sets toothed wheels 62 normally engaging racks 64; in turn meshing with wheels 76. The racks and wheels are mounted in a vertically movable frame 55, and when the operating-shaft 32 is rotated, this frame descends, the set racks 64 leave the wheels 62, and the wheels 76 engage the counter. Further rotation of the shaft 32 effects, through staggered cams 71, 72, 73, 74 and levers 66, the successive return of the racks 64 and the consequent actuation of the selected counter. The record-sheet is clamped by bars to the drum, or is endless and chiefly contained within the drum, a small portion passing outside, through slots, to receive the impression. A numbered wheel 103 upon the drum shaft co-operates with an index 104 to enable the desired line to be brought to printing position; similarly, a pointer 102 upon the carriage cooperates with a scale 101.

Fig. 1 shows an arrangement in which the screens are fitted to apertures 12, 13, 14 of the hinged cover of a box 3, which contains three lamps located below glasses 8, 9, 10 of different colours. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement in which the lamps are turned away from the driver and the cover inclined so as to show the light by reflection.

Time and cost, computing; recording workmen's wages; compiling statistics mechanically. -In a machine for recording the time taken on a given job, a card is manually inserted, at the start and finish, in a clockwork-controlled slot to such an extent that on each occasion strips are cut off the edges to represent the hour, the difference between the lengths of the incisions thus representing the time taken. This difference may be measured directly or may be calculated and recorded bv a machine of the type described in Specification 8034/15. [Class 106 (i), Calculating &c.]. The card A. which may be graduated in hours as shown, is inserted in a slot 16 to a distance determined by a block 13 sliding on guides 14. This block is moved from left to right, either continuously or at definite time-intervals, by a clock 17 acting through a train of wheels 18, 20, 21 and a rack 24. Knives 25, 26 pivoted at 59 are arranged to cut off a strip from either side of the card, the length of which will depend on the distance to which the card is inserted, i.e. on the time of day; the knife 25 is intended for use at the beginning of the job and the knife 26 at the end, or one knife only may be provided, the card being inverted on the second insertion. In a further modification, a single knife or punch may be arranged to notch the card twice on the same side. A free-wheel device is provided on the spindle 22 to allow the block 13 to be pushed back to its initial position.
