Sights and methods of sighting. - Relates to sight-setting apparatus of the kind having a pointer A set from a distance with respect to a dial B in accordance with the range, and means for moving the sights which cause the return of the pointer into register with an index-mark C or the movement of the index-mark into register with the pointer, and provided with a calibrating-device E for making muzzle-velocity and other corrections affecting the range. According to the invention, the calibrating- device is set for the correct muzzle - velocity, and is thereafter controlled from the distant station independently of the range control device, in accordance with the range. The calibrating-device shown is of the known form comprising a curved arm E pivoted at e to a casing E<1> and carrying a block E<2>, adjustable on the arm for the muzzle-velocity and other corrections of the particular gun, and connected by a link e<2> to an extension of the arm C' carrying the indexmark.

The auxiliary motor, which may be of the step-by-step type, is controlled by a switch at the control station, set in accordance with the particular range movement that has been transmitted to the pointer A. In case of failure of the auxiliary motor, the arm E may be set by a handwheel Ex with the aid of a range scale d<2>. The calibrating-devices of a number of guns may be controlled from one transmitting-switch.

Abstract: 785. National Advertograph Co., Rice, H. A., and Patterson, C. G. July 3, 1913. Feeding webs; delivery apparatus; cutting- apparatus.-In a web-printing machine or a paper-holder with printing-apparatus attached, particularly of the kind described in Specification 15,328/13, web tensioning, guiding, and cutting devices are provided. A tension roll 45 is mounted in arms 46 pivoted at 46a and so acted on by springs 55 and levers as to maintain a constant pressure on the roll 39 as its diameter decreases. This is done by varying the effective leverage of the spring 55 by the pivoted levers 51, 52. When the arms 46 are lifted right up, the springs 55 act on the other side of the fulcrum 46a and hold the arms 46 in an inoperative position. Pivoted about the axis of the roll 45 are a bail 47 and a knife 48. In its working position, the bail 47 lies between the roll 45 and the knife 48 and under the web 38, so as to separate it from the roll 39 in order that the end may be conveniently grasped for drawing-off. The knife 48, during this operation, is tilted away from the roll 39, but is then pressed against it while the paper is torn off.
