Patent GB-190915981-A (GB)
Title: Improved Method and Means of Producing Synchronism between the Rotation of a Controlling Machine and the Rotation of One or More Electrically Driven Machines.
Inventor: LERTOURNE EUGENE LOUIS AMEDEE
IPC: H02J3/42
Filed: 1909-07-08
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 15,981. LertournÚ, E. L. A. July 8. Differential speed indicators.-In a synchronous movement system in which one of the motors is' electric, the other being of any type, the current through the electric motor is controlled by two distributors, one driven by each motor. In its simplest form, the distributors comprise divided rings 4, 4', corresponding segments of which in the two distributors are electrically connected so that the circuit through the electric motor is completed only when the rotating brushes d, d<1> of the two distributors rest on corresponding segments, Should the motor C rotate too fast and drive the brush d' ahead of the brush d so that they do not rest on corresponding segments, the circuit through the motor is broken for an interval, and the motor is thus slowed down. In order that, when the brush d' gets ahead of the brush d, the circuit through the motor may not be altogether broken, a second brush c<2>, in circuit with a resistance, may be placed at a certain angle behind the brush d'. Thus, even when the circuit through the brush d<1> is broken, a diminished current is still delivered to the motor through the brush c<2>. In a modification involving the use of an extra brush, an increased current is obtained when the electric motor lags and a decreased current when it leads. The resistance in series with those brushes may be lamps or other electric signals which indicate the manner in which the system is working. Any large error in synchronism may be corrected by rotating the divided ring 4 on its axis, which has the effect of changing the speed of the motor C; or by rotating the brush d relatively to its shaft, which has the same effect. When the system is applied to the synchronous running of kinematographs and talking-machines, the arrangement may be such that the closing of the switch of the motor removes the detent of the talking-machine, either directly or electromagnetically.

Abstract: 23,040. Lockwood, M. H. Nov. 5, 1910, [Convention date]. Ink-ribbon mechanism. -Relates to multicolour vibrator mechanism of the kind in which the direction of vibration of the ribbon carrier is changed when stencil work is being done, and is described as applied to the vibrator mechanism described in Specification 10,449/09, in which the vibrator 15, Fig. 3<A>, is carried by a lever 13 provided on opposite sides with pins 17, 18 at different distances from the pivot 12, which pins are adapted to be alternatively vibrated through a frame 5 carried by the universal bar 4. According to the present invention, an additional pin 19 is provided at the opposite side of the pivot 12 to the pins 17, 18 for use during stencil work. When in use, this pin causes the direction of vibration of the lever 13 to be reversed, and draws the ribbon down away from the printing point at each actuation of the universal bar. The frame 5 is connected to any of the actuating-pins 17,18,19 as follows. Secured to the frame is a bracket 20, Fig. 2, provided with lugs 22 supporting rods 23, upon which slides a block 24 carrying V-shaped members 26, 27 adapted to engage one or other of the pins 17, 18, 19. The pin 19 is normally behind the line of action of the member 27, which is provided with a cam face at the lower end of its rear leg adapted to engage the pin 19 and to lift the ribbon above, or to the level of, the printing point. This is the inoperative position of the ribbon when set for stencil work, but upon each actuation of the universal bar the ribbon is drawn down away from the printing point. Finger pieces 39, carrying an indicating - pin 40 and a spring detent, control the movement of the slide 24, through a link 31 which engages a pin or roller 29 carried by a projection 28 of the slide.
