Title: Improvements in and relating to the Application of the Internal Combustion Engine to the Driving of Machines.
Inventor: BAKER CHARLES WHITING
Filed: 1912-01-10
Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 773. Baker, C. W. Jan. 10. Motor power plant.-Relates to a power plant consisting of an internal-combustion engine and an air-compressor combined in one machine, having the air-compressing cylinders arranged in tandem with the engine cylinders, a compressed-air reservoir, and a compressed -air engine. The general arrangement of one form of the plant applied to drive an electric generator is shown in plan in Fig. 3. The internalcombustion engine 1 and the compressed-air engine 13 drive the same shaft 14. The compressed-air is delivered to the reservoir 8 and on its way to the engine 13, is passed through the heater 10 through which the exhaust from the internal-combustion engine is circulated. Fig. 1 shows a section through a pair of the tandem cylinders 1, 3 of the air-compressing engine. The engine cylinder 1 is cooled by water sprayed into the idle space between the pistons, the upper of which is furnished with a ring 18 to act as a water trap. The water mixed with the steam generated between the pistons is led into the reservoir 20, whence steam is delivered into the outlet pipe from the air reservoir 8 for use, when heated and mixed with air, in the engine 13. The air-compressing cylinders are put out of action successively as the pressure in the reservoir rises by pressure-controlled valves 26, and the air cylinders are fed with air under slight pressure by a rotary blower driven by a turbine, the exhaust from which is also added to the air delivered by the blower. Air may be supplied to the internal-combustion engine by the same blower. The compressor-valves are in the form of large but very light perforated plates 6. The application of a plant of this kind for propelling ships is shown in Fig. 5. In this case, when it is desired to have a readily reversible drive for manoeuvring purposes, the air-compressing engine 1, 3 can be unclutched from the reversible compressed airengine 13. The application to a railway locomotive is shown in Fig. 6. In this case, the whole of the work done by the internalcombustion engine is taken by the air-compressors, and the vehicle is propelled wholly by the cylinders 13. The air-cylinders 3 are made larger under these conditions so as to work with lower pressure and avoid overheating. A starting-engine 28 is provided for the internal-combustion engine in this arrangement. This engine is supplied with compressed air from the reservoir, and at starting it drives the shaft of the engine-compressor through worm gearing and ratchet-mechanism.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Producing Perforated Note-sheets for Mechanical Musical Instruments.
Inventor: WHITE FRANK CORNWELL
Filed: 1912-01-12
Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 964. White, F. C. Jan. 12. Combined with punching - machines; tunesheets.-The operation of a pneumatic or electric player-piano, piano-player, or automatic organ actuates an electromagnetically-controlled tune-sheet punching-machine. If the instrument operates by suction, the variations of suction in the wind - chest operate a bellows controlling a contact device which completes the circuit of one of several electro-magnets controlling punches. These punches are adapted to form additional tune-sheet apertures for controlling expression. The spacing of the apertures in the tune-sheet thus produced determines the tempo when the tune-sheet is played. The note-operating pneumatics 3 of the piano-player operate the piano keys 1 through the levers 2. The keys 1 actuate contact devices 25, 26 to complete the circuits of the electro-magnets 20. When an electromagnet 20 is energized, its armature 21 is attracted, so causing a member 15 to engage a continuously rotating eccentric 14. The member 15 is pivoted to a yoke 13 carrying a punch 12, so that the punch is reciprocated and perforates a band 16 moving with a uniform velocity. In this way a perforated sheet is produced having note-apertures corresponding with those on the piano-player tune-sheet. The action' 4 of the piano-player is connected to the exhaust-chest 5 through a governor 7 having a valve 8. A valve 9 controls a direct connexion to exhaust for the purpose of varying the expression. A pneumatic 29 is connected by a pipe 28 to the wind-chest and operates a contact 30 controlling electro-magnets 31, 32, 33, and 34 for operating punches 31<a>, 32<a>, 33<a>, and 34<a>. According to the degree of suction in the windchest, one or the other of these punches will be operated to form marginal perforations in the tune-sheet. These marginal perforations operate expression-controlling devices when the tune-sheet thus produced is being played. If it is desired to produce a tune-sheet in accordance with the interpretation of a skilled performer, the valve 9 is manually controlled. To produce copies of a tune-sheet, this valve is controlled by the master sheet.
