Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Colouring Matters containing Sulphur and of the Leuco Compounds thereof.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1906-06-20
Granted: 1907-03-14
Abstract: 14,192. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. June 20. Formaldehyde compounds. -Formaldehyde is condensed with thiosalicylic acid or one of its homologues, analogues, or derivatives ; the formaldehyde may be replaced by compounds which easily split off formaldehyde, such as the bisulphite or trioxymethylene. According to an example, thiosalicylic acid is dissolved in formaldehyde solution, warmed with hydrochloric acid, and the condensation product filtered off, washed, and dried, or the magma may be evaporated to dryness with recovery of the excess of formaldehyde. Dyes, artificial. - The condensation products obtained as above are heated with alkali whereby they are converted into leuco compounds of the thioindigo series. Treatment of the leuco compounds with hot alkaline oxidizing- agents, such as potassium ferricyanide, sulphur, or sulphur chloride yields the colouring-matters. For instance, the condensation product obtained according to the above example is ground with solid caustic soda or potash or a mixture of both and is heated ; or it is heated with soda or potash solution, the product dissolved in water, and then oxidized hot by potassium ferricyanide. Specifications No. 23,316, A.D. 1905, and No. 17,559, A.D. 1906, are referred to.

Title: An Automatic Non-skid Device for Motor Omnibuses, Motor Cars, or other Mechanically Driven Vehicles.
Inventor: ALDER GEORGE EDWARD
Filed: 1906-12-12
Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 28,313. Alder, G. E., and Wilkinson, A. R. J. Dec. 12. Slipping of wheels, preventing.-To prevent sideslip in mechanically - driven vehicles, additional wheels are pressed on the ground by compressed air, the valve being controlled by a trailer. The trailer A, having one or more wheels B, is pivoted at C to a compensating-device N, the wheels being kept in contact with the ground by a spring L. Relative displacement of the vehicle and trailer causes a cam D, having a V-shaped edge, to engage a V-grooved roller on the spindle of a valve E, and to move the valve so that it admits compressed air to a pneumatic cushion or cylinder M. The cam D is arranged to vary the quantity of air according to the severity of the skid. The compressed air forces down one or more wheel carriages H, sliding in a casting F, which is attached to the axle or gear casing, and carrying one or more non-skid wheels I of rubber or other material. Springs J return the carriage H to its normal position after it is released. Each wheel I can be fed with sand from a reservoir by pipes leading to holes P in the casting F', corresponding oblong holes being so arranged in the carriage H that the sand supply is normally cut off. If the pressure on the wheels I forces the driving-wheels off the ground, the air supply is cut off by the trailer, which sinks and draws back the cam D. A space is left between the cam and the roller to prevent the valve from being opened on account of irregularities in the road surface. The cylinder may be placed in any other position and the carriage H connected to it by a lever or levers. The air reservoir is charged by a pump worked by the engine, and is fitted with a relief valve.

Abstract: 5982. Dawson, A. T., and Horne, J. March 12. Sights and methods of sighting.-Relates to sighting-apparatus for ordnance of the type in which a prismatic sight-tube E, Fig. 2, projects through a lateral opening h in the armoured turret or shield H. According to this invention, means for deflecting the tube and for correcting for changes in muzzle velocity, atmospheric conditions, &c. are combined with the sight-tube. The frame F carrying the tube E is supported by means of guides g in a bracket G screwed to the trunnion B<1>, and is capable of rotation about the trunnion axis. For adjusting the sighting-apparatus for range, the frame F is angularly displaced in the bracket G about the axis of the trunnion by means of a rack f, on the frame F engaging a pinion i operated by worm gearing i<2>, i<3> and a hand-wheel i<5> carried by the bracket G. A reader and graduated dial I indicate the adjustment made. For adjusting for deflexion, the holder j<3> of the sight-tube is pivoted on vertical pins j<4> in an extension f<1 >of the frame F, and carries a worm sector j which is operated, to move the holder about the pins j<4> in an horizontal plane, by means of a milled head j<5>, gearing j<1>, j<2>, and a worm j<x>. A deflexion dial J is provided. Compensation for differences in muzzle velocity is made by changing the angular position of the sight-tube about the axis of the trunnion B<1>, so as to alter the relative angle between the line of sight and the axis of the gun. The sight-tube is capable of rotation in the holder j<3>, and carries at its inner end an arm e<1> connected by an adjustable link e<2> to a lever e<3> pivoted to the frame F at e<4> and having a roller e<5> to bear upon a cam-surface e<8>, as described in Specification No. 5716, A.D. 1907.

Patent GB-190706929-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in ELectric Telegraphy
Filed: 1907-03-22
Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 6929. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. March 22, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Telegraphs.-In a system of telegraphy in which all the receiving-instruments in a line respond to the signals sent by any one of the transmitting- instruments, inductive disturbances are prevented by a symmetrical distribution of the current in the intertwisted outward and return conductors. Two opposed batteries A, B are set one at each end of the double line ; when all the transmitting keys T are open, no current flows in the line ; when any one of the keys T is depressed however, current flows through and actuates all the receiving iostruments or relays d in the line. The current which flows in the outward conductor of the branch to the left of the transmitting station is equal in strength to that flowing in the return conductor of that branch, and there is therefore no induction in this branch ; similarly there is no induction in the branch to the right of the transmitting-station. In order to preserve symmetry, one of the two electromagnets d of each receiving-instrument is placed in the outward lead, while the second electro-magnet is placed in the return lead. By means of a system of relays, it is possible to signal from any station on one line to the stations on any line connected to the same battery, as for instance from a station between A and B to a station between A and D. In a modification of the system, only one battery is used and normally a constant current flows in the line. On the depression of the key at any transmitting-station,an alteration of the current strength in both branches takes place, and causes all the receiving-instruments to be operated.
