Title: Improvements in Axle Boxes for Railways Carriages & Wagons, and similar Vehicles.
Inventor: MORGAN DAVID JOHN
Filed: 1904-02-29
Granted: 1904-11-17
Abstract: 5010. Morgan, D. J. Feb. 29. Axle-boxcs for railway carriages and wagons and similar vehicles are made in two parts bolted together so as to be removable for inspection or repair, and are provided with oil and grease reservoirs, the former having apertures for testing the depth of oil. The upper part A, Fig. 3, of the axle-box is secured to the lower part B by vertical bolts E and a horizontal bolt F. The reservoir J in the upper part communicates with the bearing through siphon pipes R, Fig. 4, when oil is used, but when grease is used the pipes are removed and fusible plugs are inserted. A space fitted with a removable filter d admits oil through a passage OC to an oil chamber K formed in the lower part, the upper surface of which supports a spring 0 for holding the lubricating-pad up to the journal. If a longer spring is used, the partition forms a guide for the spring as shown at g, Fig. 5. The siphon worsted or wool of the pad is led through the spring as shown, and prevents the oil from rushing out of the reservoir during tipping or shunting. For sighting the depth of oil when charging, a thumb-screw W is fitted with a central hole having a side opening near the head through which the oil oozes when the screw is slacked ; or a screw with a flat filed on one side may be employed. A similar screw Z has a transverse hole to admit a sounding-rod, or the same screw may be used as shown in Fig. 13. Where the front cover is bolted on, the oil reservoir is formed on the cover. Several springs or one long spring may be used to hold up the lubricating-pad. To prevent oil from being wasted between the axle and axle-box, a protector s, Fig. 15, is fitted in a recess in the axle-box between the dust shield and the journal, and is held in position by corrugated springs b, b'. This part of the axle-box may be bolted on, and may have a lubricating-ring t, Fig. 16, attached as shown. According to the Provisional Specification, a sounding-rod is provided to test the depth of the oil.

Title: Improvements in Railway Carriage Lighting.
Inventor: BROCKIE JAMES
Filed: 1905-07-20
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 14,938. Brockie, J. July 20. Lighting, systems of; regulating.-An alternating-current dynamo a, driven from the train axle and having separately-excited or permanent field magnets, supplies electric lamps d, Fig. 2, through a choking-coil b of dimensions sufficient to make the ohmic resistance of the circuit small in compaiison with the reactance at ordinary speeds. The choking-coil may be adjustable, and an auxiliary choking-coil in series with the main coil may be used to adjust the inductance of the circuit. The current is thus regulated, without the use of variable resistances, against fluctuations in the speed of the dynamo, provided that this does not become too small. If so, a centrifugal governor i, Fig. 1, turns on a gas supply, as shown, and afterwards, when the speed has increased sufficiently, turns it off or nearly off again. Alternatively, the auxiliary illumination is afforded by storage batteries, centrifugally switched on to the electric lamps when required. Devices of known kind may be caused, when a lamp fails, to bring another lamp or equivalent resistance into the circuit.
