Patent GB-663452-A (GB)
Title: Sound film recording apparatus
IPC: G11B7/00
Filed: 1949-10-11
Abstract: 663,452. Sound film recording apparatus. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. Oct. 11, 1949. [Oct. 19, 1948] No. 26013/49. Class 40 (ii). Variable density sound film recording apparatus comprises a light modulating device in which the recording light beam is passed through an aperture defined by a pair of light controlling members at least one of which is vibrated to modulate the light beam and which are disposed in different planes so that during operation they can overlap momentarily to close the light transmitting aperture between them, and in which the light modulating device is connected to a source of constant amplitude high-frequency oscillatory current which is superposed on the sound current supplied to the device. This causes the light modulating member to vibrate at high-frequency while modulating the light beam to record the sound. The arrangement is such that the lightcontrolling members overlap during a portion of each oscillatory current cycle when recording at the low illumination end of the film characteristic, thus altering the degree of exposure. The result is to produce a curved characteristic which compensates for the photographic distortion introduced in developing the film, thus producing a record suitable for direct reproduction. In Fig. 3 the light beam is controlled by the gap between a fixed shield 15 and a movable ribbon 16. With no applied voltage the light transmitted corresponds to point B, and an applied voltage in one sense moves the ribbon to the right causing the light to increase to point F. An opposite voltage reduces the light to zero at point O after which the ribbon overlaps the fixed shield as the light remains zero along line OG. When a supersonic biasing voltage is superposed on the signal voltage the movement of the ribbon is as shown by the wavy line, the signal movement alone being along line HJ. For signal values above point E, the average value of light will not be varied, but below this the light will be transmitted in pulses (shown shaded) even down to signal values which would otherwise entirely close the aperture. In the result the charcteristic follows the line AB instead of AOB. This produces a record which, when developed, is substantially linear as regards transmitted light over the range A-F, which is considerably greater than the linear range without the supersonic bias. Fig. 6 shows a circuit for coupling a sound voltage amplifier 1 and a supersonic oscillator 6 to a ribbon light modulator 3 in series with an equal resistance 4, through the medium of a transformer 12. A low pass filter 8, 9 and high-pass filter 10, 11 prevent interaction between sources 1, 6. Further, a noise reduction unit 13 of the kind described in Specification 390,157 or 426,488, is coupled between source 1 and the modulator to vary the spacing of the ribbons in accordance with the envelope of the sound signals, so as to increase the film exposure for small amplitude signals. U.S.A. Specification 1,867,729 is referred to.

Abstract: 1399942 Rolling mills SCHLOEMANN AG 5 June 1972 [5 June 1971] 26063/72 Heading B3M A length of stock, after being rolled in a continuous pre-finishing mill A is sheared into successive lengths at 3 and passed by a switch 4 to one or other side of a looper table 5 such that successive lengths are rolled alternately in finishing mills B and C, the speed of each mill B and C being reduced when a length has passed partly through it. The stock may therefore be rolled at relatively high speed, e.g. 40 m./s., in the mill A, and pass at a low speed, e.g. 10 m./s., to a cooling bed or beds 11, 12. The mills B and C initially operate at the speed of mill A until the leading end of a length of stock has passed through them. The shears are then operated to sever a length of stock, and the mill speed is reduced to suit the following cooling bed or beds. The shear may operate when two thirds of a given length has passed through one of the mills B or C.

Title: Improvements relating to the control of feed for forced-flow steam boilers
IPC: F22B35/10
Filed: 1964-06-25
Abstract: 998,758. Fluid-pressure servomotor systems. SULZER BROS. Ltd. June 25,1964 [July 4,1963], No. 26358/64. Heading G3P. A method of controlling the rate of flow of feed water to a forced-flow steam generator having a liquid separator comprises measuring the temperature of one of the evaporator tubes which has been slightly overheated and comparing the measured value in controller, which adjusts the flow, with a desired value which is dependent on at least the pressure of steam measured near the separator. The temperature of the overheated tube 29 is measured by a device 12 which adjusts the loading of a spring 32 of a valve 30<SP>11</SP> controlling the pressure in a passage 34 to position a piston 50 which actuates a cam 51 axially. The pressure of steam near the separator acts on a piston 37 to actuate the cam 51 in a rotary direction. The cam 51 acts through a lever 56 on a control valve 60 to position a servomotor 61 which controls the feed water valve 2 and a fuel control valve 65. The lever 56 may also be moved by a piston 57 subjected to a pressure proportional to the temperature at a point in the evaporator section or prior to this section. In a modification, the temperature and pressure signals act directly on a lever controlling the valve of a servomotor which adjusts the feed water valve. The controller may also be responsive to the flow of feed water.

Patent GB-269928-A (GB)
Abstract: 269,928. National Cash Register Co., (Assignees of Shipley, B. M.). April 22, 1926, [Convention date]. Addition to 227,852. Printing totaLs.-In order to ensure the restoration of the adding wheels of the balance totalizer to zero condition when a total has been taken from the subtracting wheels, means are now provided to lock the total lever in total-taking position until by an extra operation of the machine the adding wheels are cleared. The balance bank differential is connected with a disc 182 having a cut-away portion 183 co-operating with a roller 181 carried by a spring-controlled lever 175. If a total is taken with one of the "subtracting " keys depressed, the notch 183 is presented to the roller 181 and therefore the lever 175 is free to move to obstruct the pin 154 on lever 155 displaced by the slot 153 in the total lever plate. The total lever is thus locked in the total-taking position until by depression of the motor key another operation of the machine takes place. In this operation the balance differential latch is broken in position 5 by contact of arm 190 with pin 194 maintained ineffective in the adding position by lug 197 on the total lever plate. A total is therefore taken from the adding wheels of the totalizer and these are left at zero and by the setting of disc 182 the locking lever 175 is moved to release pin 154 to allow return of the total lever to adding position. Locks may be provided to prevent unauthorized displacement of the total lever from the adding position to positions other than the " balance re-set " position.
