Patent GB-191109659-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Process of Producing Photomechanical Pictures and Printing Blocks.
Inventor: LUPPE OTTO
IPC: G03F7/04
Filed: 1911-04-20
Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 9659. Luppe, O. Nov. 7, 1910, [Convention date]. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces.-In the preparation of blocks, the metal surface is first coated with a resin layer and then with a bicromated colloid layer. After exposure, the plate is developed and treated with a powerful toughening-agent such as chromic acid, alum. &c., and then dried. The exposed section of the colloid adheres to the resin layer underneath it, and is detached with it, leaving the unexposed colloid, which, with the unaffected resin layer underneath it, forms an extremely resisting acidproof layer. The exposed colloid and resin layer attached thereto may, alternatively, be removed by bringing the layer into contact with a hygroscopic solution such as glycerine, to which a toughening - agent has been added. The exposed colloid layer curls up and detaches the resin layer underneath.

Abstract: 26,961. Waters, E. G. Nov. 23. Protective arrangements.-Parallel feeders f, g are protected against faults by an arrangement comprising a ' bus-bar ' transformer d the primary of which is connected in series with both the feeders, current transformers i, j, in the respective feeders, and a reverse-current relay a having one coil b energized by the secondary of the transformer d, and the other coil c in a closed circuit containing the two other transformer secondaries connected so that normally no current flows in the relay coil c. An impedance coil h or other means is employed to obtain the required phase relationship. A fault on either feeder causes the relay arm to turn and make a contact which completes the circuit of one or other of the trip-coils of the feeder circuit-breakers p, q. A potential coil may be added to the reverse-current relay. The invention may be used in conjunction with the arrangements described in Specification 11,559/12.

Inventor: WADE HAROLD
IPC: A43D35/00
Filed: 1913-02-10
Granted: 1914-03-10
Abstract: 3447. Wade, H., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Feb. 10. Sole blanks, machines for.-A sole is subjected to heavy pressure between two dies 8, 10, one or both of which are bevelled at the margin so that the interior portion of the sole is highly compressed, and the marginal portion, although less compressed than the interior, is brought to a uniform thickness and made more uniform in character than before compression. The sole blank, which is prepared by sprinkling with water and allowing to stand for some hours, is preferably cut around the forepart slightly larger than the edge dies 4, 6 when closed, the excess being reduced along the shank to nothing at the heel seat. The movement of the edge dies toward each other causes a slight upsetting of the edge of the sole along the sides of the forepart, thus giving a greater thickness to the edge of the sole. As the face dies operate, the leather tends to flow in the direction of the arrow towards the toe part, thus making the thickness of the edge at this part the same as that at the sides. The width of the bevel is preferably greater at the toe portion of the sole to permit soles of varying shapes to be rounded out from the blanks treated in the one set of dies. The forepart only of the sole may be compressed, the dies in this case being bevelled off at the shank.
