Abstract: 11,714. Merton, H. May 16. Telephone signals, recording; driving and stopping.-A phonograph is used to record the signals in connexion with wireless telegraph or telephone receiving-apparatus with an audible indicator, a current-intensifier being used for the current in the indicator. Fig. 1 shows the circuit arrangements ; oscillations in the aerial wire A affect the detector D to cause current to flow from the potentiometer H through a galvanometer-relay G and current intensifier J, conveniently a Brown relay as described in Specification 11,135/08, which controls a telephone K speaking into a phonograph horn L. The phonograph is preferably antomatically started by the signals; this is effected according to the present invention by causing the relay G to control a magnet on the phonograph drum which, when energized, attracts a pawl which normally couples the drum to a ratchet boss S in carrying an arm S<2> resting against a stop T. The phonograph drum is then free to move, and a spring rotates the arm in the opposite direction until it strikes another stop or the other side of the same stop. By this means, the drum is caused to rotate through a part or a whole revolution, or by interposing gearing, several revolutions, after a cessation in the signals. The telephone diaphragm may actuate the phonograph needle directly, or the two diaphragms may be connected by a simple link or by a magnifying- lever. The signals may also serve to operate a switch for an electric drive for the phonograph, or a valve for an hydraulic or like drive.

Abstract: 25,741. Ratel, M. Nov. 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Grates; mechanical stoking; draught, regulating.-In a furnace grate with movable fire-bars, the bars are so formed that air at different pressures or in regulable quantities may be admitted to different parts of the fire, and special means are provided for imparting to the bars reciprocating movements in two directions at rightangles. In furnaces with underfed stokers, the feed-troughs are provided with secondary tuyeres between the principal tuyeres to divide the issuing streams of fuel and supply them with air. The fire-bars may be of the form shown in Figs. 3 and 4, consisting of troughs mounted on rollers and adapted to be reciprocated by cams 16 and provided with transverse bars 24 or perforated plates 25. Air is supplied by a fan to the pipe 19 from which it passes through damper-controlled pipes 21 and flexible connexions 23 sliding connexions, hydraulic joints, or other convenient means for maintaining a tight joint, to the fire-bars. The air supply may be varied throughout the length of the bars by employing partitions 26, or by varying the spaces between the bars or, in the case of the perforated plates, by diminishing the number of holes or their diameter. Figs. 5 and 6 show a modified form of grate in which the troughs 31 containing the bars 30 are provided with vertical rods 32, sliding in guides 33, and adapted to be raised and lowered by cams 34. The bars 30 are mounted on longitudinal bars 29 adapted to slide on rollers 38 mounted in bearings attached to the troughs. The ends of the bars 29 are provided with forks 41 having rollers 42 adapted to move in inclined grooves 43, the grooves for adjacent bars being inclined in opposite directions so that upon raising and lowering the troughs, the bars 29 and fire-bars 30 are reciprocated longitudinally. Air is supplied to the troughs through damper-controlled pipes 45 connected to the air-supply main by flexible, sliding, or like connexions or by hydraulic joints. The troughs 31 may be provided with ordinary bars 37 as shown in Fig. 5. Between the ordinary tuyeres 17, secondary tuyeres 18 are arranged for use when pulverulent fuel, such as coke dust, is employed. Any suitable means such as the injection of steam, moist air or water spray, or the circulation of water may be employed for cooling the tuyeres. Fig. 1 shows a steamgenerator plant to which the above-described arrangements may be applied. A steam-engine 1 drives a fan 2, a rotary valve 3 admitting steam to operate the mechanical stoker, and the cam shaft for cperating the fire-bars through gearing 4, 5, 6. The damper 11 is operated by the pressure of gases or fluids acting on a piston C, the upward movement of which allows the counterweight d to fall and open the damper.
