Filed: 1911-04-07
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 8718. Collet, A. April 11, 1910, [Convention date]. Planing &c.- A portable machine for re - grooving railway sleepers comprises a carriage A running on the track P, and two rotary cutters L mounted on tubes H supported by the carriage on rollers G. The carriage A consists of wheels E carried by curved side bars b connected by parallel tubes B which are screwed and locked to extensions of the wheel axles in such a manner as to allow of adjustment for varying widths of track. The electric motors J, carrying and actuating the cutters L, are provided with projecting bars Q secured by screws s, Fig. 6, to collars e which are clamped at the required distance apart on the tubes H. The cutters, which are protected when not cutting by casings f, are lowered simultaneously into the cutting position by rotating a band-wheel operating through a cardan joint i, bevel-gearing j, k, and screw-and-nut gearing l, m, a tube n sliding on a sleeve o, which carries the cutter and is rotated by the motor shaft N. The required width of groove is obtained by moving the tubes H on the rollers G between the limits allowed by adjustable stops c on the tubes B. When the machine is to be used for re-grooving Vignole rails, the carriage is inverted and the motors are secured in a slightly inclined position, by releasing the screws s from the notches q in the rods Q that they normally engage and causing them to engage with other notches r. The unoccupied holes in the collars e are filled by screws. The machine, which may also be used for grooving new sleepers, can be easily removed from the track on the approach of a train by first lifting off the motors and cutting-apparatus by means of the projecting bars Q, and then removing the carriage.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrostatic Machines for the Production of Alternating Current.
Inventor: PETERSEN WALDEMAR
IPC: H02N1/08
Filed: 1912-01-03
Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 2442. Petersen, W. Jan. 30. Converting alternating and direct currents; frequency, changing. - In an electrostatic machine for generating alternating currents of high frequency, the harmonics of the voltage wave, which form when the machine runs light, are utilized for re-inducing higher harmonics. In order to bring the numerically even harmonic pressures to development, no-load conditions are produced in the field circuit by blocking the source of excitation; and, similarly, to bring the numerically uneven harmonic pressures to development in the armature, no-load conditions for these frequencies are produced in the circuit of utilization; while in order to suppress the undesired higher harmonics in both the field and armature circuits, a path offering no re-actance to these frequencies is provided. Figs. 1 and 2 show diagrammatically a suitable electrostatic machine. The fixed field plates 1, 2, Fig. 1, are connected in pairs to the source of current, and the rotating plates A, B, Fig. 2, of the armature are connected in pairs through slip-rings to the external circuit. The field plates may be arranged on both sides of the armature, which is preferably formed in two parts for better insulation. In order to give a kind of group frequency to the currents produced, one or more of the poles or teeth of the armature or field may be omitted or filled in. To suppress the injurious action of the leakage capacity of the machine, capacities and inductances in series or parallel are arranged, as shown in Fig. 8, in shunt to the armature and field capacities b, c, the reactance of these shunt circuits being such as to produce noload conditions, and the number of the shunts being dependent on the number of harmonics obtained from the machine. Similar shunt connexions, but of different magnitudes, are also arranged to develop the even pressures in the field circuit and the uneven pressures in the armature circuit. The electrostatic machine may be supplied with direct or alternating currents, and a microphone may be arranged in the supply circuit for wireless telephony. In asynchronous working, the machine may be excited by an alternating voltage, the frequency of which is equal to the selected ' slip ' of the machine. Arrangements for a self-exciting asynchronous generator are also described.
