Title: Improvements in or relating to traversing gear for travelling cranes
IPC: B66D1/02
Filed: 1931-05-27
Abstract: 378,987. Locking by frictional devices. HEYWOOD & CO., Ltd., S. H., BROWNE, C. L., Station Road, Reddish, near Stockport, PRICE, T. L., 9, Holders Hill Road, Hendon, and FAULKS, J. V., Newmount, Windsor Terrace, Hampstead, both in London. May 27, 1931, No. 15474. [Class 103 (i).] In traversing gear for an overhead traveller a rotatable driving member is automatically coupled to a driven member, controlling the position of the traveller, by relative rotation and a circumferentially notched member, normally maintained by resilient means in engagement with an abutment extending from the frame of the traveller so as to prevent movement of the latter, is displaced axially to avoid the abutment by such relative rotation. As shown, a pulley 1, engaging a wire rope extending along the track of the traveller, is driven by a chain wheel 2 when a wheel 10, secured to the'pulley, has been removed from an abutment 15 on the framework 16 of the traveller. When the chain wheel is rotated a pin 4 thereon, positioned within a recess 6 of a boss 7 on the pulley, rides down the surface 8 and displaces the pulley axially against a spring 9 to remove the wheel 10 from the abutment 15, and finally rotates the pulley. Friction discs 11, 12 reduce the effect of the impact of the wheel 10 with the abutment 15 when the driving the wheel 2 is stopped whilst the traveller is moving quickly.

Title: Record pickup velocity correction
IPC: H04N5/76
Filed: 1974-04-10
Abstract: 1461848 Pickup positioning device RCA CORPORATION 10 April 1974 [16 April 1973] 15792/74 Heading G5R To oppose undesired cyclic variations, within a given error frequency range, in the relative velocity between a pickup stylus (12), Fig. 1 (not shown), and a rotating grooved record disc 4, a transducer 24 is mechanically coupled to the stylus to vary the position thereof in response to a correction signal, the transducer having an electrical winding 80 located on a first portion and energizable by said signal to produce relative movement between said first portion and a magnetic flux-generating second portion coupled by resilient means 72 to the first portion, and electrical damping means 78 operative to oppose such movement, the transducer having a natural mechanical resonance at a frequency within said error frequency range. The movable member of the transducer comprises a non-magnetic, non-electrically conductive cylinder 56 joined to a stylus support arm 22 by a coupling, which is rigid longitudinally of arm 22 but allows vertical and lateral movement thereof, and connected by resilient annular member 72 to a sleeve 70 fixed on an arm 50 projecting from a permanent, or electro-, magnet 42 providing a flux gap 48 in combination with iron members 40, 46. The winding 80 is provided around or under a closed loop metal band forming the damping means 78. The transducer 24 is located in a conductive housing driven so that the stylus (12) on arm 22 tracks a video disc 4 radially. The disc 4 comprises a dielectric coating (6), Fig. 2 (not shown), over an electrically conductive layer (8) on a dielectric substrate (10) and has a spiral groove engaged by stylus (12) which carries a conductive electrode (14) forming a varying capacitance with layers (6), (8) to effect playback. To correct for errors due to the disc turntable speed, disc eccentricity or recording errors, winding 80 is supplied with an error voltage provided by a frequency discriminator/amplifier circuit responsive to deviations from a norm in the horizontal sync. pulse frequency of the replay signal. Alternatively, if only turntable speed errors are to be corrected, the error voltage may be provided by an optical detector in conjunction with a deflecting pattern on the turntable. The arrangement may be applied to apparatus having a nominally constant turntable angular speed, e.g. 450 r.p.m., or one in which the turntable speed varies to maintain a nominally constant groove velocity at the stylus (12).

Abstract: 854,647. Discharge lamps. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. May 21, 1958 [May 21, 1957], No. 16119/57. Class 39(1). A low-pressure mercury vapour fluorescent discharge lamp, having also a filling of neon or neon and argon, has associated with each of the transversely extending electrodes 3 a shield 10 of heat-reflecting material which is electrically insulated from the electrode and is so shaped and so arranged that a substantial proportion of the heat radiation from the electrode is reflected back to the electrode. The shield can be formed of sheet metal such as nickel, or of glass provided with a coating. such as a metallic film, having good heatreflecting properties and can be cylindrical or part-cylindrical and arranged coaxially with the electrode. The shield 10 is supported by a wire 9 sealed into the pinch 5. The shield can be semi-cylindrical and located between the electrode, and the end of the envelope and can extend over the greater part of the envelope cross-section, holes being provided in the shield for the electrode lead-in wires which may be provided with glass sleeves, thus providing a cool region at the end of this envelope. Such a coal region could also be provided by an auxiliary shield mounted on the wire 9 behind the shield 10. The filling is mercury together with a mixture of approximately 80% neon and 20% argon at a pressure of about 2 mms. Each electrode is in the form of helical coil, which may be double or triple coiled, of tungsten mounted transversely to the envelope and coated with electron-emmissive material. According to the Provisional Specification the shield can be made by bending a circular or rectangular plate to the desired shape and two metal plates can be connected to the lead-in wires of each electrode to act as anodes.
