Abstract: 27,762. Armistead, W. Dec. 6. Armatures; cooling and ventilating.-Fans a, d, Figs. 1 and 5, each consisting of an angle-iron ring b formed with radiating blades c, are fixed round each end of the armature and may serve as binding-rings for the armature windings, and as supports for the armature when it is removed and placed upon the ground. Each ring b, Fig. 5, is split and is fastened to the armature by means of a bolt e ; or the ring may be formed in two or more sections which are bolted together in place round the armature windings. Annular sheetmetal partitions f, g extending from the frame B cause currents of air to flow in the direction shown by the arrows and also through the core openings j, especially if the power of the fan d is slightly greater than that of the fan a. The partition g may be separated from the frame B so that some of the air may pass between it and the frame. In a modification, Fig. 3, the fan blades mare lengthened and have their outer edges surrounded by a second angle-iron ring o, the partitions either being dispensed with or formed by projections r cast with the frame. In a further modification, Fig. 4, the ring a<1> has its angle omitted or cut away for the admission of air, and the space between the ring and the frame is closed by means of an annular plate d<1>. The other ring e<1> is surrounded by an annular plate g<1> fixed as near as is required to the magnets c<1>. In cases in which the machines are totally enclosed, the fans are fixed with the vanes towards each other, and the partitions are situated inwards of each fan to cause the air to circulate through the radial openings of the armature and over the inner surface of the casing. A single fan may be employed, preferably at the commutator end of the armature.

Hydraulic presses; working valves.-A moulding - machine has a ball-mounted swinging arm 15, Fig. 7, carrying an hydraulic compressing-ram f. The movements of the pistons are controlled by a lever 36 and handle 37. The former, acting through a weightcontrolled rod 26 and links 30, 31, operates screwed rods carrying nuts 34 with conical portions and recessed portions adapted to engage the rim of the table 22. When the handle 37 and lever 36 are turned to the right, the nuts are swung free of the table and the piston c rises, driving the patterns into the mould. The rims of the tab!e 22 pass over the conical portions of the nuts 34, but the weight 29 causes the nuts to move in and engage the rim when the latter reaches the recessed portions and the movement is thus arrested. In a modified machine, the arm 16, Fig. 10, is swivelled by an hydraulic piston 52 operating a weighted rope 49 passing around pulleys and the column. The amount of descent of the piston f is regulated by nuts 41 on a screwed extension, and the movement of the piston c is regulated by nuts 43 on screwed spindles engaging the frame 45 of the machine. The pistons are regulated by two pairs of pedals 58, each pair being such that, when one pedal is depressed, it is kept down by a catch on the other.
