Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for maintaining rotating bodies in synchronism for television and like purposes
IPC: H04N5/04
Filed: 1926-05-03
Abstract: 275,318. Baird, J. L., and Television, Ltd. May 3, 1926. Television; synchronous movements. - The receiving equipment in a television system is driven at the required speed under the control of an oscillating system of adjustable frequency, means being provided for imparting an additional movement to effect a fine adjustment of the synchronism, the accuracy of which is indicated or controlled by means of an image produced at the receiving station. A synchronous motor driving, or controlling the speed of, the exploring device of the receiver may be supplied with alternating current of variable frequency, e.g. from a tunable oscillating circuit such as a neon tube with a shunt condenser and a series resistance, or from a telephone transmitter connected by a tube adjustable in length to a telephone receiver supplied with alternating current. Alternatively the current supplied to the motor may be controlled by a tuning fork of adjustable frequency. The fine adjustment may be obtained by imparting,. manually or automatically, a rotation to the stator of the motor or to the planet-wheel-carrying member of an epicyclic driving gear. The synchronism is indicated or is controlled automatically by means of an image 17 at the receiving station corresponding to a bright light associated with the transmitted picture. This image may be bounded by dark areas to constitute a distinctive signal. The image may co-operate with one or more light-sensitive cells, e.g. as described in Specification 269,834. to produce currents for effecting the fine adjustments, or the large current impulse producing the image may be utilized for the purpose by the use in connection with therotary exploring disc 1 of a rotating contact 10' and fixed contact brushes 11, 12. The received signals, amplified by a device 6, are supplied to the picture-reconstituting lamp 3 over leads 7. The contact 10 is connected through a brush 13 to one lead, and the brushes 11, 12 are connected to the other lead through magnets 14, 15 respectively. Normally the contact 10 is midway between the brushes 11 and 12 when the large current impulse corresponding to the image 17 arrives. Variations above or below the synchronous speed cause the contact 10 to engage the brush 11 or 12 at this instant, thus energizing the magnet 14 or 15 respectively to effect the required fine adjustment.
