Patent GB-190621949-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture of New Greenish-bleu Dyestuffs and Derivatives thereof.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
Filed: 1906-10-04
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 21,949. Bloxam, A. G., [Dye Works formerly L. Durand, Huguenin, & Co.]. Oct. 4. Dyes, artificial.-Gallocyanines, obtained by the action of the nitrosodialkylanilines on gallic acid and its derivatives, are condensed with an aromatic diamine having at least one amino-group free. In examples are described the condensation of dimethyl-and diethyl-p-phenylenediamine with the gallocyanines from nitrosodimethyl- and diethylaniline and gallamide; of dimethyl- and diethylp-phenylenediamine and the gallocyanine from nitrosodimethylaniline and methylgallate ; and of m-phenylenediamine and the gallocyanine from nitrosodiethylaniline and gallamide. The products are greenish powders, very little soluble in water and alcohol, but soluble in acetic and concentrated sulphuric acids. The leuco bodies are prepared in, examples by the reduction of the above products with zinc powder and hydrochloric acid. with sodium sulphide, and with electrolytic hydrogen, respectively. In the latter case, the cathode is of platinum or lead dipping into an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of the dye-stuff, and the anode is of carbon dipping into hydrochloric acid. The electrolysis is effected at a temperature of 50- 70‹ C., with constant agitation of the solution. The leuco bodies, in the form of their salts, hydrochlorides, for example, are much more readily soluble than the dye-stuffs, and are applicable for dyeing and printing. The salts are stable, but the free leuco body is rapidly oxidized in air. The colours produced are fast to fulling and to chlorine. Specification No. 3854, A.D. 1895, is referred to.

Patent GB-190713032-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Systems for Electric Railways.
Inventor: EASTWOOD ARTHUR CLARKE
Filed: 1907-06-05
Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 13,032. Eastwood, A. C. June 5. Electric railways and tramways.-In a multipleunit control system for electric railways the propelling cars are placed between the non-propelling cars, and a control conductor supplied with current from a source on the train is placed upon the opposite side of the track rails from the power conductor. A controlling switch K and variable source of power B are placed upon the leading car, and by operating the switch K the potential difference between the control conductor M and a track rail G is varied. The control circuits of the various cars are placed between the conductor M and the rail G. These circuits consist of electromagnetically - operated switches S' ... S' and a reversing-switch U, the switches S<1> ... S<8> being arranged to operate successively to short-circuit the sections R<1> ... R<7> of the starting- resistance R in the motor circuit between the power rail N and the rail G. The reversing- switch U, consisting of blades w<3>, w<4>, is operated by electromagnets having windings u<1>, u<2> each of which is energized by the operation of a polarized relay having a winding u<3>. The direction of the current in the winding u<3> is reversed by a reversing switch W on the controller K. When the armature u<4> is on the contact u<5>, the coil u' is energized, and, when on the contact u<6>, the coil u<2> is energized, thereby operating the reversing - switch U and so reversing the direction of the current in the motor armature A. Each of the propelling cars may be provided with a number of motors, and the speed or power varied by altering the grouping of their windings, or, if alternating- current motors are employed, the resistance R may be replaced by a variable transformer or reactance. The switches S<1> ... S<8> may be operated by compressed air or other power controlled by relays. The control conductor M is made up of sections of such length that two trains cannot be in the same section at the same time so that the control circuits of one train cannot be operated by current derived from another train.

Patent GB-190802955-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Appliances for Determining the Bearings or Positions of Ships and the like by Means of Electromagnetic Radiations.
Inventor: FESSENDEN REGINALD AUBREY
Filed: 1908-02-10
Granted: 1909-05-10
Abstract: 2955. Fessenden. R. A. Feb. 11, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Bearings, instruments for determining.-For the purpose of determining their bearings with regard to each other, ships and lighthouses are provided with continuously - rotating horizontal antennµ which emit, at definite angular positions of the antennµ with regard to some zero point, trains of electro-magnetic waves corresponding for example to certain letters of the alphabet. An horizontal antenna having a directive effect, a navigator on another ship is able to determine the line in which the transmitting ship (or lighthouse) lies, by noting when the received signals are weakest. This observation may be verified by turning the receiving- antenna until the effect on the receiver is a maximum, in which position the antenna lies in the direction of propagation. The angle between the courses of the two ships may be found by noting the particular letter or other signal at which the received indication is a minimum. After having determined the line of the transmitting-station, the operator may determine on which hand it lies by turning his antenna into the position of maximum receptivity and placing a screening conductor first on its one side, then on the other, and noting the side on which the screen places the antenna in the shadow. The distance of the transmitting-station may be estimated by altering an adjustable shunt connected across the telephone terminals until the signals are just audible, the shunt reading then giving a measure of the distance of the transmitting station. Different lines of steamers may be distinguished from one another by the pitch of their transmitted signals or by the signals they transmit at different poiuts of the scale. Vessels of different speeds may be similarly distinguished. The transmitting- antenna 28 is in constant rotation and the receiving-antenna 41 also normally rotates. To prevent the signals being received by the home receiver, a rotating spark gap 34, 35 is placed in the transmitter circuit and in the receive circuit a commutator 55 which cuts the receiving-antenna out of circuit when sparks pass at the transmitter. To avoid the screening effect of the smoke stack, two antennµ placed a distance apart may be simultaneously used for transmitting and receiving. These may be used at will for transmitting or receiving. Specifications No. 15,569, A.D. 1903, No. 19,878, A.D. 1906, and Nos. 4711 and 18,152, A.D. 1907, are referred to.

Dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling.-Polyphase commutator machines are regulated by means of an adjustable auxiliary winding connected in series with the armature winding and arranged on the stator in the same or approximately the same axis as the armature winding, a third winding being included in the armature circuit in which the magnetizing-current is generated. The armature circuit is short-circuited upon itself or through an impedance. Each of the main windings SL1, SL2 may be arranged upon an axis which forms an arbitrary angle with the brush position. The magnetizing-windings may be the secondaries ML1, ML2 of shunt transformers or the secondaries of shunt and series transformers as in Fig. 4. A part or the whole of the auxiliary winding may constitute part of the main winding as in Fig. 3. The series transformers may be arranged on the stator as in Fig. 5, the main windings SL1, SLa forming the primaries and the windings SML2, SML1 the secondaries. The shunt transformers PML1, PML2, Fig. 5, are excited from the phases 1, 2 respectively so that the electromotive forces induced in the series and shunt transformers differ in phase by nearly 90 degrees. In this arrangement, by varying the number of turns of the two transformers, both the intensity and phase of the magnetizing-current may be adjusted. In order to obtain good commutation at speeds deviating considerably from synchronism, the main or auxiliary windings may be arranged with two parallel branches and a circuit including a transformer in the armature circuit connected up to an inner point in each branch.
