Abstract: 22,242. Taylor, I. F., and Pick, S. Sept. 30. Transporting bouts across ship's deck; davits; chocks.-Boats are carried athwart ship from the chocks to an outboard position by a conveyer comprising chains d arranged around sprocketwheels e which are operated by worm gear. The chains are guided by athwart ship tracks c, and are provided with a series of rings d<2> which pass between the tracks c and engage fore-and-aft hooks on the boats. When outboard, the boats are engaged with the falls l and are lowered to the water by horizontally-pivoted davits n, which are luffed outboard by a ball q<1> on the fall engaging a recess n<5> in the davit. The falls are led to an ordinary winch provided with a band brake. The outboard swing of the davits is limited by a #Àshaped lever p engaging arms n<1> on the davit, and the davit is locked in this position by a hooked arm q taking under the beams b<1> of the framing. The boats are stowed on chocks comprising vertically-guided transverse beams s which are lowered to leave the boats suspended from the chains d by link-work comprising arms t, bell-crank levers u, and horizontally guided rods u<1> operated from a single lever. Additional boats may be brought into position under the conveyer by means of trollies k running on tracks k<1>.

Title: Manufacture of White Colouring Matter for Enamel, Glass and Glazings.
Inventor: RICKMANN RUDOLF
IPC: C03C8/14
Filed: 1912-12-04
Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 27,954. Rickmann, R. Dec. 4, 1911, [Convention date]. Enamels.-A mixture of an antimonate and antimony tetroxide is used as colouring-agent for white glazes, glass, and enamel. The mixture is formed by heating the metal antimony, antimony oxide, or antimony sulphide to incandescence with a saltpetre and alkaline hydrate, so that part of the antimony is converted into antimonate while the remainder is converted into tetroxide of antimony. For example, the antimony or antimony compound is heated in an open furnace with caustic soda and sodium nitrate, or with caustic potash and potassium nitrate. The reaction product, after being washed and ground, is either added to the raw material forming the enamel and melted therewith, or is ground with already melted enamel and the mixture again melted. Other white colouring-agents may be used in addition to the above-mentioned substance.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Rotary Converters.
IPC: H02K47/10
Filed: 1912-12-05
Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 28,108. Phoenix Dynamo Manufacturing Co., and Pohl, R. Dec. 5. Drawings to Specification. Systems for conversion, employing rotary converters. - In order that the direct-current electromotive force of a rotary converter may be varied, an alternating-current generator or booster is mounted on the shaft of the converter, and the armature winding of the booster is connected between the armature winding of the converter and its slip-rings. The invention consists in designing the booster so that it may be employed as a motor to start up the converter ; for this purpose, it is built without salient field-magnet poles, and its exciting- winding, which is contained in slots in the stator face, serves as a polyphase secondary winding during starting. In one arrangement, the field-magnet winding of the booster consists of a three-phase winding, which, at starting, is closed upon itself through resistances. During normal running, when the field-magnet winding is excited by direct current, two of its phases are joined in series with the third phase across the direct-current bus-bars. A two-phase winding which may act also as a field-magnet winding without changing the connexions may be used. If the alternating-current booster is provided with a series winding to produce compounding effects, this winding may also be designed to serve as a two-phase or three-phase secondary winding during starting, either alone or in conjunction with the main exciting-winding.
