Abstract: 338,821. Technidyne Corporation, (Assignees of Jones, L. L.). Feb. 19, 1929, [Convention date]. Magazine gramophones. - The turntable of a magazine gramophone is tilted from a horizontal position into a vertical position and the sound record thereon is then discharged into a receiver on the return movement of the table, the centre pin of the turntable engages the central hole of a fresh record and carries it into the playing position. The spindle 8 of the turntable 2 is driven by a motor 10 and can turn about trunnions 16 from a vertical position to a horizontal position, as described in Specification 338,820. When the turntable 2 is in the vertical position, the record thereon is dislodged by ejector arms 20 and drops into a discard magazine 24. A fresh record 42, Fig. 2, rests in an inclined position outside the front face of a supply magazine 30 and, on the upward movement of the spindle 8, the centre pin 22 of the turntable engages the centre hole of the record and carries it to the playing position. The gramophone is completely enclosed and records may be introduced into the magazine 30 singly through a slot 51. The magazine 30 has a sloping bottom and grooves so that the records take up a position against the inside of the front face 34. At the correct time, an ejecting finger 40 engages the first record and lifts it over the lower edge 54 of an opening in the front face of the magazine and drops it on to finger supports 36 so that it leans against the turntable 2, Fig. 2, when the latter is vertical. The members 20, 40 are interconnected by links 74, 76, and a link 78 is connected at one end to the member 20 and the other end 80 is slidable in a slot 82 of a pivoted lever. The link 78 has a projection 86 which normally lies in the path of a pin on a crank secured to the trunnions 16, so that when the turntable is tilted the members 20, 40 are operated. The members 20. 40 are put out of action by moving a lever on the slotted link from the full line to the dotted line position of Fig. 4. The ejector arms 20 have large superficial area so as to have a braking action upon the record. The turntable 2, Fig. 9, has a conical frictional engagement with a collar 6 on the spindle 8 so that, when the turntable 2 is in a vertical position, the frictional force between the turntable and its spindle is diminished. In a modified type of supply magazine, the records rest on a pair of inclined rods 100, Fig. 8. The discard magazine 24 has a semicircular rail 26 to guide the discharged records from the vertical into a horizontal position and a recess in the bottom and a door in the side for the removal of the records from the magazine. The controlling electric circuit for the machine is described in Specification 338,820. Specification 340,169 is also referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to braking systems for vehicles
Inventor: BURY FREDERICK JAMES BRAD
IPC: B60T13/02
Filed: 1950-03-07
Abstract: 677,653. Vehicle servo-brakes. AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS CO., Ltd. March 7, 1951 [March 7, 1950], No. 5760/50. Class 103 (i). A braking system, of the kind in which energy for assisting the application of the brakes is derived from a frictional servo device on a vehicle transmission, comprises a servo-operating master cylinder actuated by a pedal or manual control to create liquid pressure for engaging the frictional device, and a brake-operating master cylinder operated by the friction unit to create liquid pressure for operating the brakes, the master cylinders being so mechanically interconnected that operation of the brake operating master cylinder causes relative displacement of the piston and cylinder of the servo operating master cylinder to increase the volume of that cylinder. The servo device 10, Fig. 1, comprises a drum 13 rotating with the output shaft of the gear-box 11 of the vehicle and a pair of hydraulicallyactuated trailing shoes carried by a back-plate 20 which is rotatably mounted on a frame 16. When the servo device 10 is engaged a pin 40 on the back-plate 20 transmits a force to the piston 23 of a master cylinder 22, fixedly mounted on the vehicle, by means of links 29, 26 and a bellcrank lever 27, the resultant liquid pressure generated being transmitted to the vehicle brakes by the conduit 31. The motor cylinder of the servo device 10 is connected by a flexible conduit 32 to the piston of the servo operating master cylinder the cylinder of which constitutes the piston 23 of the brake-operating master cylinder. The piston 24 is connected by a link 61 to the brake pedal and its movement outwardly of the cylinder is limited by stop members 52 which also serve to attach the member 50 to the piston 23. A longitudinal bore 53 in the piston 24 conveys pressure liquid to the servo unit. Annular spaces 48, 49 behind the pistons 23, 24 are in constant communication with the reservoir which is connected to the boss 47 of the cylinder body 22. Return springs 55, 56 for the pistons 23, 24 serve to retain the usual cup washers against the pistons and a valve 57 of known type allows free exit of fluid from the cylinder 22 but maintains a predetermined pressure in the conduit 31. Depression of the brake pedal moves the piston 24 to cover a port 51 and energize the servo unit which in turn operates the piston 23 to apply the brakes. Movement of the piston 23, however, increases the volume of the servo-operating master cylinder and thereby sets up a state of balance. The effort applied by link 61 is transmitted to the piston 23 by liquid pressure or, if the servo operating system develops a leak, directly by abutment of the pistons.
