Abstract: 225,814. Ehrenreich, A. Dec. 7, 1923, [Convention date]. Treatment preliminary to tanning.-The skins of sharks, rays, skates, and other plagiostome fishes, after the. removal of flesh therefrom, are soaked in a saturated solution of common salt, to which hydrochloric acid is added. This treatment removes the dermal armour, and sterilizes, and pickles the skin at one operation. 250 c.c. of hydrochloric acid are used for every litre of saturated salt solution, and further acid is added during the operation to maintain this acid strength. The liquid remaining after the operation may be filtered through sand, restored to strength, and used again. The container is preferably made of oxy-chloride concrete obtained by mixing calcined magnesia with a solution of magnesium chloride, and a siliceous material. A lining of coarse crystaline sodium chloride is held in place against the inside walls by wooden laths. The skins are suspended freely in the liquid, and an agitator for the liquid may be provided.

Title: Improvements in or relating to explosive devices for the generation of disturbances under water
IPC: G10K15/04
Filed: 1944-10-11
Abstract: 596,294. Detonation signalling; fuzes. HALL, C. R. L., and IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. Oct. 11, 1944, No. 19627. [Class 9 (ii)] In a multiple underwater explosive device for marine signalling are several explosive charges which together with their delay fuzes are sealed off from each other. These fuzes have different burning periods and evolve little or no gas during combustion, all the fuzes except the one of shortest burning period having a portion of more vigorous burning characteristics than the rest of the fuze, this portion being positioned for reinforcement of the burning of the fuze to prevent it being extinguished whenever an explosion occurs in the device. 1 and 18 are metal tubes, 2 are charges of a secondary initiating explosive and may consist of tetryl, pentaerythritoltetranitrate or cyclotrimethylethylenetrinitramine. 3 are charges of a primary initiating explosive and may consist of a lead azide - lead styphnate - aluminium mixture with or without some tetryl. 6 and 8 are charges of a relatively slow-burning composition of, e.g. antimony and potassium permanganate. 7 is a charge of more vigourously burning composition, i.e. it is either less extinguishable by shock or leaves a hotter residue than the compositions 6 and 8. It may consist of a compressed mixture of silicon, red lead, and cerium-magnesium alloy. 8B is a charge similar to 6 and 8 and its length is so adjusted that by the time it has burnt through to the igniting charge 5 adjacent to it the charge 7 or a portion of the charge 6 close to the hot residue of the charge 7 is burning. The fuzeheads 11 are connected to each other by the conductor 14 and by wires 13 to the tubes 1 and 18, which form terminals which must be connected to complete an electric circuit. Tubes 12 and 15 and plug 16 are made of insulating material. The charge 6 may be dispensed with.
