Abstract: 1,161,662. Fuelling reactors. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. 3 Jan., 1967 [11 Jan., 1966], No. 1270/66. Heading G6C. A fuelling machine having a magazine compartment 22 into which a fuel element 2 may be drawn upwardly from a reactor core 4 by a winch 3, is provided with an indicator 8 which informs the operator that the fuel element has not become too long, through irradiation, to be received in the compartment or that it has not broken and is therefore of normal length. The indicator 8 is responsive to a variable inductance device 6 including a pair of spaced coils 33 each receiving a spring-biased armature connected to a permanent magnet (Fig. 2, not shown). The lower end 7 of the fuel element 2 carries a spike 30 of ferritic steel, this spike causing movement of the permanent magnets which move the armatures to cause a variation in the inductance of the coils and an appropriate setting of the indicator 8. The device 6 is carried by a cranked arm 12 rotatable by an hydraulic actuator 13 from the horizontal position through 90 degrees to the position shown in which the spaced coils 33 are situated on opposite sides of the spike 30. Should the fuel element be too long this rotation is impossible as the device 6 would abut the side of the fuel element and should the fuel element be broken the spike 30 is absent. In both instances the indicator 8 will not give a normal reading.

Abstract: 647,411. Supply systems for discharge lamps. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. Jan. 19, 1948, No. 1607. Convention date, Jan. 18, 1947. [Class 38 (iv)] [Also in Group XXXVII] A thermal lock-out switch for a discharge lamp comprises normally-closed contacts 12, 13, carried by bi-metal strips 9, 14, the former of which gives ambient-temperature compensation. The contacts 12, 13, are connected in series with a low-resistance heater 16, which may be of the type described in Specification 624,410, the lamp filaments, and a glow discharge starter switch 7. The heater 16 is connected to the strip 14 by a member 17 of good heat-conducting material and a highresistance carbon heater 18 is connected to the strip at 20, by a short conductor 19. If the switch 7 fails to start the lamp, the strip 14 is heated gradually by resistance 16, so that contacts 12, 13, are eventually opened and the line voltage is applied across the lamp. If the lamp still fails to strike, the voltage appears across the heater 18 and after several starting attempts, the heat from 18 will be sufficient to maintain the strip 14 in its distorted position to lock out the switch.

[Classes 122(ii) and 122(iv)] [Also in Group XXVII] A cam-shaft coupling for reversible engines comprises two claws 9 in a driven member 2 on the cam-shaft 4 which engage pairs of slots 7 at the ends of recesses 6 in a driving member 1 for forward and reverse running respectively. Disengaging members 11, 14, are connected through ball bearings 16, 19, to eccentrics 18, 21, and the claws 9 are forced outwardly by springs 25. For reversing, the shaft 22 is rotated to cause the arms 11 to disengage the claws 9 from the slots at one end of the recesses 6 and withdraw the arms 14 into recesses at the bottom of the slots at the other end. When the engine starts to rotate in the opposite direction, lost motion occurs between the members 1, 2 until the claws 9 have traversed the recesses 6. In modifications, the coupling member 2 may be displaced axially with the claws 9, or one coupling member may overlap the other, the claws and recesses being formed radially.
