Abstract: 1,127,904. Mounting flexible printing plates. MASCHINENFABRIK WINKLER, FALLERT & CO. A.G. 29 Sept., 1965 [26 Oct., 1964], No. 41312/65. Heading B6C. A plate cylinder 1 for a rotary offset press has a longitudinal recess in which is adjustably mounted a bar carrying plate clamping means, the mounting of the bar being such that plates mounted on the cylinder may be adjusted both axially and peripherally thereof. The clamping means are actuated by rotation of a bar 14 made of a number of end-to-end aligned parts, the connection between adjacent parts comprising a readily actuable claw-coupling arrangement. The cylinder is adapted to accommodate either a single or a number of side-by-side plates each plate corresponding to one part of the rotatable bar or a whole number of parts such that should a plate require clamping adjustment the appropriate part or parts of the bar may be actuated after the necessary coupling or de-coupling thereof. The clamping means are as shown in Fig. 2 in which a flexible printing plate 2 is mounted on the cylinder 1, one bent-off end 3 of the plate being introduced over the upper part of a cylinder section 4 whilst the other bent-off end 5 is introduced between a clamping strip 6 and leaf springs 7 carried by the rotatable bar 14.

Abstract: 1,159,583. Synchronous machines. CENTRAL ELECTRICITY GENERATING BOARD. 17 Oct., 1966 [5 Oct., 1965], No. 42240/65. Heading H2A. [Also in Division G3] A synchronous machine has a rotor with two independent windings supplied with D.C. from first and second control means so that, when energized, the respective magnetic fields have angularly displaced axes. The first winding is energized to provide the synchronizing torque on the rotor and the second winding used to vary the voltage of the machine and thereby the reactive power generated or absorbed. In the system shown in Fig. 5, stator windings 13, 14, 15 of an alternator are connected to a power transmission system 10 and the rotor 16 is driven by a turbine 43. Also mechanically connected to the rotor shaft is a pilot alternator 44 which provides an output, indicative of the instantaneous position of rotor 16, which is supplied to phase comparator 46. The phase comparator is also connected to the lines of the transmission system and its output 48 is supplied through amplifiers 49, 40 to winding 37 on the rotor so that the current in winding 37 increases as the load angle of the main alternator increases. To vary the output voltage or, where a number of machines are connected in parallel, the reactive power of the machine the line voltage is compared in regulator 50 with the reference voltage produced by manually set potentiometer 51 and the output amplified at 54, 41 and supplied to winding 38 of the rotor. Rotor construction.-The rotor may be of salient pole type with the first winding provided by the normal field coil and the second winding provided by the pole face winding connected in series, Fig. 1c (not shown). In the cylindrical rotor construction shown a divided winding is used with part 38 of the winding forming the first winding and the other half 37 forming the second winding. The two windings may be wound to produce orthogonally directed magnetic fields, but an angle of 60 degrees is preferred.

Abstract: Butadiene and/or isoprene is/are polymerized in bulk or in solution in the presence of a lithium catalyst and from 0.001% to 2% by weight, based on the weight of the monomers, of a compound containing at least two terminal non-conjugated CH2=C1- groups.  The lithium catalysts which may be used are organo-lithium compounds, metallic lithium, lithium alloys and mixtures thereof.  The catalyst is preferably employed in such an amount that from 0.005 to 1.0g. of lithium is present per 100g. of the monomers. Compounds mentioned containing at least two terminal non-conjugated CH2=C1- groups are divinyl benzene, nuclear alkylated divinyl benzenes, trivinyl benzene, glycol dimethacrylate, triacrylolyl-perhydrotriazine, triallyl phosphate, triallyl cyanurate and polyvinylsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbons. The process may be carried out in the presence of one or more aromatic monovinyl-hydrocarbons e.g. styrene, 3-vinyl-toluene and 3-ethylstyrene, the amount of said compounds preferably being from 1 to 40% by weight, based on the weight of the monomers. Suitable solvents are aliphatic aromatic and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, the amount of solvent preferably being from 400 to 2000 parts by volume per 100 parts by weight of monomers.  When the polymerization is carried out in the presence of one or more aromatic monovinyl-hydrocarbons, Lewis bases are added to the polymerization medium, in an amount of from 0.1% to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of monomers.  Suitable Lewis bases are tertiary amines, phosphines and aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and araliphatic ethers. According to one method there is added to the reaction mixture a catalyst inactivating compound, e.g. an organic acid, and an antioxidant such as phenyl-beta-naphthylamine, whereafter the solvent of the reaction mixture is evaporated. Alternatively the polymer may be precipitated by the addition of a precipitant e.g. an alcohol, and the polymer isolated by filtration. The polymers may be compounded with natural rubber and butadiene-styrene rubber. Specifications 895,607 and 920,472 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in the production of vitreous fibres
IPC: C03C25/223
Filed: 1966-09-22
Abstract: A method of forming a vitreous fibre, comprising heating a mass of vitreous material in a melting first region, drawing from the mass a fibre of vitreous material at a temperature at least equal to the softening point thereof, drawing the fibre through a "soaking" second region, the ambient temperature of which lies below the softening point of the fibre and not substantially lower than the annealing point thereof, said second region being constituted by a flame which does not deposit a coating on the fibre, and drawing the fibre thus formed into a third region, the ambient temperature of which lies below the strain point thereof. The said mass may be a quartz rod, the tip of which is raised to the softening temperature by causing an oxyhydrogen flame to impinge on it, and a carbon monoxide flame constitutes the second "soaking" region and overlaps the boundary of the oxyhydrogen flame.  One third region above is constituted by the luminous part of an exothermally reacting mixture which comprises a carboniferous gas and less than a stoichiometric proportion of oxygen and which serves to deposit an adherent coating of pyrolytic carbon on the fibre.
