Title: A New or Improved Calculator.
Inventor: LEDER ERNST
Filed: 1907-03-23
Granted: 1908-03-23
Abstract: 7018. Leder, E. March 23. Calculating-apparatus; counting-apparatus. - A multiplying machine has a keyboard for setting the larger factor and a series of slides upon which the less factor is set figure by figure ; as each figure is set thereon a single turn is given to the main operating-handle, which registers the product and then spaces the totalizing-counter automatically one denomination to the right. Fig. 1 shows the keyboard d' arranged in two rows for each denomination, the totalizing-counter S, which has been forced rearwards by operation of the " 1 " sliding key n, and the main operating-handle A. Each bank of keys has allotted to it a pair of cylinders m, m<1>, of which the units' cylinder m is shown in Fig. 8 in engagement with the units' receiving wheel U of the totalizing-counter, and the tens' cylinder m<1> with the tens' receiving wheel ; the pinions upon the spindle of the numeral disks are geared to these wheels, and single-tooth transfer mechanism together with zeroizing-mechanism of ordinary construction is provided. The depression of a key in any bank determines how far the frame f<1>, f<2> carrying the corresponding pair of cylinders shall move longitudinally forward under the control of the springs l, a short cross-bar e upon the end of the frame being normally held by a hook i at the rear and the hook releasing it when a key is depressed so that the hooked lower end of the key may arrest the cross-bar as it springs forward. There is longitudinal room on each cylinder for eighty-seven toothed circles, and these are arranged by suitable combinations of teeth on the tens' and units' cylinders respectively to represent all the possible products of the integers up to nine taken two at a time, and the distances of these various product circles from the "1" circle are so adjusted in a manner analogous to a logarithmic arrangement that the distance of the circle for any product is equal to the sum of the products of the distances for the few prime numbers of which it is formed, multiplied each by the index of that prime. Thus each pair of product circles is selected by adding the distance through which the key d<1> allows the cylinders to move to the distance through which the sliding key n moves the totalizing-counter with respect to them. The cylinders have a feathered connexion with the spindles t, t<1> bearing terminal pinions, as shown in Fig. 11, adapted to be rotated by the racks 0, 0<1> upon the endless flexible band H when given one rotation by the operating-handle A; one rack deals with the units and the other with the tens of each pair of cylinders, and they are so spaced as never to be simultaneously in action and thus to allow of simultaneous transfer. Any convenient mechanism may be employed for spacing the totalizing-counter one step laterally to the right as the operating-handle completes a revolution.

Title: Improved Charge Forming Arrangements for use in Internal Combustion Engines and Turbines.
Inventor: LOW ARCHIBALD MONTGOMERY
Filed: 1908-01-11
Granted: 1909-01-11
Abstract: 675. Low, A. M. Jan 11. Producers; gas retorts -Explosive gas or vapour for use in internal-combustion engines or turbines is generated by the destructive distillation of liquid or, preferably, solid fuels in tubes traversing the combustion chamber, or arranged outside it and heated by the exhaust gases, the open ends of the tubes being closed by a seal. Steam, air, or other gases may be added for the formation of an explosive mixture. In the engine shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the tubes 5, which pass through the combustion chamber, have their ends 6 closed by a water seal 7. To the opposite ends of the tubes, fuel, which is agitated by a mechanical device (not shown), is fed from a chamber 10 by worms driven by adjustable friction gearing 14, 15. From the tubes 5 the gaseous constituents escape through a series of passages 27 which open into a cooling and purifying chamber 28 communicating with the cylinder inlet valve through the pipe 30. To utilize fully the heat of the exhaust gases, they are passed through the chambers 8 before escaping to the atmosphere. Steam from the water jackets, or elsewhere, together with an air or gas current, may be sprayed on to the incandescent portion of the fuel through passages 23, 25; or they may be admitted after the combustible has left the generating-tubes. The supply of explosive mixture is regulated by cutting one or more generating-chambers out of action.
