Title: Surface profile testing instrument
IPC: G01B5/20
Filed: 1973-02-21
Abstract: 1399729 Testing profiles RANK ORGANISATION Ltd 21 June 1973 [17 Aug 1972 21 Feb 1973] 38415/72 and 8427/73 Heading G1M An instrument for testing the profile of a surface of an object W having a non-circular nominal shape comprises a transducer T having a feeler F, and means for effecting relative rotation between the workpiece and the transducer, the relative rotation being compounded of two independent simultaneous rotations about parallel spaced apart axes such that the transducer is responsive to departures of the surface from the nominal shape. In Fig. 1, the two-lobed epitrochoidal surface of the workpiece W, which may be the stator of a Wankel engine, is tested by mounting the workpiece on a table A rotating about axis O, the table A being simultaneously rotated about the axis O', and the ratio of w 2 /w 1  being 2. The transducer T is fixed relative to the axes O'. In Fig. 5, the workpiece W rotates about axis O and the transducer rotates about axis O', the ratio w 2 /w 1  being 2. In Fig. 6, the workpiece is stationary, and the transducer rotates about an axis O', which axis O' rotates about an axis O, the ratio w 2 /w 1  being 2. The instrument may be set up to gauge various epitrochoidal, hypotrochoidal and near elleptical shapes by adjustment of the various spacings, speeds of rotation and directions of rotation. The instrument includes means for carrying out these adjustments, and for carrying out the correct initial placing of the workpiece. The output of the transducer may be recorded on a polar recorder, the chart of which is driven at the same angular speed as the rotation about one of the axes. Preferably a correction is applied to the drive of the chart for the angular displacement between the feeler and the line joining the two axes of rotation, Fig. 3 (not shown), this correction taking the form of a sinusoidal variation in the speed of the chart impressed upon a steady speed. Compensation may also be applied for the angle between the feeler and the perpendicular to the surface at the point of gauging by means of a potentiometer rotating with the instrument to adjust the gain of an amplifier. Alternatively, the transducer may include a swivel mounting, Fig. 7, including rollers or skids R and arranged to maintain the feeler perpendicular to the surface.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the electric driving of paper-making machines
IPC: H02P5/747
Filed: 1939-03-17
Abstract: 526,488. Automatic control systems. AKT.- GES. BROWN, BOVERI, & CIE. March 17, 1939, No. 8587. Convention date, March 17, 1938. [Class 38 (iv)] Speed.-The motors of a paper making machine are synchronized relatively to a master speed by means of impulses. In the starting position with switch 9 over to the left and brake 11 on, the double fed motor 20 starts to run in synchronism with the master control 2 and the arm 22 repeatedly strikes the heavily damped lever 21 which holds closed contacts 23, thus starting the servomotor 17, which drives the brush rocker 10, when the main motor 1 will start running. As the main motor approaches relative synchronous speed, the electric differential 3 - 6 will give a frequency just less than the master frequency and the double fed motor will run slowly only giving impulses to the servomotor and when relative synchronism is reached will no longer give impulses. Slight over regulation is given and the double fed motor runs backwards, closing contact 24 and so changing switch 9 to the running position and releasing the brake 11. The electric differential then maintains synchronism. In modifications, Figs. 2 and 3 (not shown), a wattmeter type relay serves to operate the servomotors associated with each main motor to regulate the distribution of the loads. Specification 348,505 is referred to.
