Wood wind instruments. -In wood wind instruments such as clarinets and flutes, a ring is arranged above the plate B of the first finger of the right hand and actuates the key F through a tube b<2> and lever d. The ring E of the third finger is divided into two parts, closing with the upper half the plate C' through the tube b, and with the lower half the plates A, B, by a tube a<1> passing through the tube b. The plates W, V are closed respectively by the key z of the fourth right-hand finger and by a button z<1> projecting centrally through the key z, so that both plates may be closed together. This allows a perfect closing of the double C sharp. To facilitate passing from the key of G sharp to the inferior keys of the fourth finger of the left hand, the plate A is attached to the bar x and is kept normally closed by a weak spring under this bar. The plate A can be opened by depressing either of the long keys 1, 2, but can be closed again, although the said key remains depressed, by depressing either the plate B or its ring or the lower half of the divided ring E. The mechanism for opening the plate A consists of a spring-controlled bar a, one end of which engages a lever on the bar x while the other has a double arm 14 under the long keys 1, 2. To perfect the trilling of the A sharp and G sharp, a key 11 is provided which operates the plate R and simultaneously operates the plate S through the spring-controlled lever U ; if the key 9 is also depressed, the plate S is kept closed.

Title: Improvements in Dynamometers and Power Indicators.
Inventor: BARR ARCHIBALD
Filed: 1907-05-30
Granted: 1908-06-01
Abstract: 12,495. Barr, A., and Stroud, W. May 30. Dynamometers.-Relates to electric apparatus for ascertaining the relative torsion between two sections of a shaft transmitting torque, of the type in which intermittent make-and-break arrangements at the two sections are employed to modify the current in a circuit containing either a constant source of current or a generator driven by the shaft ; in the latter case, a measure of the product of the speed and torsion is obtained. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, two metal disks R1, R2 with regularlyspaced insulating-blocks are placed on the sbaft, which is earthed. One pole of the battery D is earthed and is also connected through one winding of the moving coil of a galvanometer G to one of the brushes B2 bearing on the metal disks, the other brush B1 being connected to the other pole of the battery. The other winding of the coil is in circuit with the battery and an adjustable resistance E, whereby a zero reading may be obtained. Alternatively the brushes may be arranged in parallel. Various other methods of measuring the current due to relative displacements of the disks may be employed. In one arrangement, the two windings are in coils fixed relatively at rightangles, whereby a deflexion reading is obtained; in others, the coils C1, C2 with planes mutually at right - angles are arranged the one above the other, the magnetic field being formed by permanent magnets M1, M2 or M, M<1>, placed as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The brushes may take the form of pivoted inverted L-shaped pieces normally retracted from the disks by springs, but capable of being operated by an electro magnet.

Title: Improvements in, or relating to, Wind Engines.
Inventor: FENNELL WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-01-16
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 1025. Fennell, W., and Perry, W. P. Jan. 16. Turbines.-Fixed guides, forming passages of diminishing area, surround the axis of a wheel and collect the wind and conduct it against the driving- vanes. Fig. 2 shows the invention applied to a wind-wheel having vanes between which the air passes in a substantially horizontal direction, and afterwards escapes through the hollow central portion of the wheel. A ring of tangential guides 4 delivers the wind to the vanes 3 of the wind-wheel, so that the latter always rotates in the same direction. The diminishing area of the passages between adjacent guides increases the velocity of the wind at the point of delivery to the vanes. In a modified form, the tangential guides are made preferably of canvas, and are longer in comparison with the size of the wind-wheel. In this case the guides also are covered at the top and bottom with canvas sheets which converge towards the periphery of the wheel. Fig. 7 shows the invention applied to a type of wind-wheel in which the air passes vertically upwards between the vanes. The guides 28 project radially from the wheel, and the passages are curved upwards at their inner ends 31. A ring of fixed guides 32, seen in elevation in Fig. 11, deflects the air sideways as it issues from the ends 31 of the main guides, and delivers it tangential to the vanes 35 of the wheel. The guides are covered by converging plates or sheets 29, 30. In a further modification, several shorter auxiliary guides are arranged between two main guides, so that each passage is divided into two or more smaller passages at the delivery end. Fig. 13 shows a hinged vane 41, which is controlled by a spring 43 and is actuated directly by the force of the wind, or by a governor, to vary the area of the delivery end of the passage automatically with variations in the wind pressure. The wind motor may be mounted on the top of a building or an iron tower, or on the top of a hill or mound of earth, and may be used for driving a dynamo.
