Title: Improvements in Alternating Current Electric Motors
Filed: 1904-05-25
Granted: 1905-05-04
Abstract: 11,930. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 25. Motors, controlling.-To enable repulsion motors to be operated at all speeds both above and below synchronism without sparking, the opposing electromotive forces induced in the rotor coils shortcircuited by the brushes owing to the cutting of the primary field and to the transformer action of the rotor field are made approximately to balance one another without impairing the output of the motor by impressing a variable electromotive force on the rotor. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, tho stator S communicates with the single-phase mains through an auto-transformer or other voltage regulator T, and the rotor brushes b are connected to the secondary of a transformer t, the primary of which shunts part of the transformer T. At starting, the transformer t is short-circuited (and therefore the brushes) by means of a switch s, and, when synchronous speed is attained by adjustment of the transformer T, the switch s is moved into the position shown. To operate the motor above synchronous speed, the transformer T is regulated to reduce the electromotive force impressed upon the stator, causing a compensating electromotive force to pass to the brushes from the transformer t. In a modification, Fig. 4, the entire control is effected by manipulating the rotor transformer t<1>. At starting, the impressed electromotive force opposes that induced in the winding by the stator field, and, as the motor speeds up, this counter electromotive force is reduced until, at synchronous speed, the brushes are short-circuited. For speeds above synchronism, the transformer switch arm is moved to impress a reversed electromotive force upon the brushes. Other modifications are described, in which the transformer t, Fig. 1, is arranged either in series or in parallel with the transformer T, and has its primary short-circuited at starting.

Patent GB-190507148-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Motor Control Systems applicable for Electrically Propelled Trams or Vehicles.
Filed: 1905-04-04
Granted: 1906-03-15
Abstract: 7148. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. April 4. Switches.-Relates to a system of control particularly adapted for master-control on the multipleunit system, only one train-wire being employed. On closing the master-switch and connecting one of the two car-wires to the train-wire, one of a pair of electro-magnets is energized and operates the controller for the separately-actuated contacts, which may be similar in arrangement to those described in Specification No. 24,770, A.D. 1902. The general arrangement is shown in Fig. 1 in which a master-switch C or C<1> is adapted to connect either of the car-wires A, B with the train-wire D. A switch E is arranged to connect either car-wire to ground to complete the circuit ; or the wires may be permanently connected, one to the trolly and the other to ground. Two solenoids f, f<1> are connected in series between the wires A, B, and, according to the operative position of the master-switch, one of them will be shortcircuited and the other will be energized. The cores of the solenoids are connected by a rod f<4> having a projection f<6>, Fig. 3, engaging spring- controlled collars on a rod f<7>, so that, while the controller is held by the electro-magneticallycontrolled pawl h, the spring is compressed, and the controller moves immediately the catch is released; contacts 1, 2 in the projection f<6> also throw the reversing-switch in the proper direction. Dash-pots 8 are provided for preventing too rapid a movement. At I is a throttle relay to prevent too rapid acceleration. Should the current be excessive, the circuit of the coil H is opened, and the catch h engages the teeth of the rack G', so preventing movement of the controller. The controller plate g is so constructed that, when the motors are in series with the resistances cut out, contact is broken at g<1>, g<2>, so opening the circuit of the coil H. To continue the movement of the controller, the master-switch is moved to deenergize the relay K, the coil H being again energized and its core raised when the masterswitch is again closed. To bring the controller back to the 'off' position, the master-switch is thrown to the reverse position, and the other electro-magnet f or f<1> brings the controller back. It is stopped by means of catches 14, 15 mounted upon the rod f<4> and adapted to engage a pin actuated by an electro-magnet N. In starting, in order to free the catches from the pin, it is necessary first to close the master-switch, which energizes one of the coils f, f<1> and compresses one of the springs 19, 20 of the catches. The switch is then momentarily opened, de-energizing the coil and allowing the spring to force back the catch, so that the pin h, when it next rises, will abut against the catch and not enter the slot.

Abstract: 7471. Grice, A. G. April 8. Cranes.-Relates to the arrangement and operation of the gearing of jib cranes. The framework is preferably of tubular construction, the post 6 being of four upright tubes braced together by suitable rectangular and diagonal bracing 7. The jib 8 may be similarly constructed, while the spurs 9 and sleepers 10 may each be composed of single hollow tubes. The shafts 11, 12 of the luffing and hoisting drums are arranged parallel to the driving-shaft 13, and in or parallel to the vertical plane containing the crane post and jib. The luffing and hoisting ropes 14, 15 are led over pulleys 16 at the head of the crane post. By this arrangement, these ropes are fed more directly on to their respective barrels than in the ordinary arrangement. The gearing is shown in plan in Fig. 4. On the driving-shaft 13 are three sets of friction cones 17,18, 19, which may communicate motion in either direction through wormgearing to the hoisting and luffing barrels and to the slueing-table by means of friction cones 20, 21, 22 respectively. The use of worm-gearing obviates the use of brakes.
