Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Sizing and Drying Cops.
Inventor: MOELLER-HOLTKAMP WALTHER
Filed: 1907-03-15
Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 6309. Holtkamp, W. Moeller-. March 15. Liquids, apparatus for treating with.-Cops a placed on perforated sockets or spindles b, Fig. 2, mounted on a hollow support c in a vessel d, Fig. 1, are sized and dried by the passage through them of size from a vat i and hot air from a heating- boiler o, respectively, under the action of an airpump m and with the aid of a vacuum tank l and suitable pipe connexions provided with valves. The hollow support c is lifted by a suitable device into the treating-vessel d so that its lower end f, of conical shape, rests in a corresponding socket g connected by a pipe h with the vat i. The treating vessel is closed by a lid e. The pump m then creates a vacuum in the vessel d through an open cock q, the vacuum tank l, and a pipe k with its tap p open. The size accordingly rises through a pipe h to the central support c and is drawn through the cops from the inside to the outside, as is preferable at the first. When the liquid in the vessel d has covered the uppermost cops, as seen by means of a spy window r or suitable gauge glass, a second pair of valves is thrown into action so that the pump m, acting as a pressure pump, causes the action to be reversed. The treatment may be repeated as many times as necessary. To dry the cops the vacuum tank l is shut off by means of the taps p, q and the size vat i by means of a tap t on the inlet pipe h. Other taps u, v are opened to allow the pump m to draw hot air from the boiler o through a pipe w and to force it through a second pipe x, the support c and the cops a to the vessel d, whence a third pipe n conducts the cooled air back to the boiler o for re-heating. The circulation may be reversed. Finally, the pump and boiler are shut off and the support c is lifted out so that the treated cops may be replaced by fresh ones. Or a reserve support c may be charged ready during the treatment ; several supports c may be arranged side by side in the vessel d. The various taps may be actuated automatically. The vat i is preferably portable so as to be easily replaced by another.

When the clutch is out of gear, the lever f is locked by the spring- actuated pin f<2> which passes through holes in the lever and frame. This pin is raised by the lever f<9> when it is desired to put the clutch in gear and release the luffing-drum.
Patent GB-190718444-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Marine Electrically Controlled Steering Gear.
Inventor: HAIGH BERNARD PARKER
Filed: 1907-08-15
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 18,444. Haigh, B. P. Aug. 15. Synchronous movements. - In electrically controlled marine steering-gear comprising a pair of electric motors M', M<2>, Fig. 1, arranged to work in approximate synchronism, in combination with two hunting switches D<3>, D' and D', D<2>, the latter of which controls the electric motor driven gear, or with a hunting switch and a hunting valve, the latter of which controls the power supply to the gear, means are provided for correcting deviations from exact synchronism. Whenever the controlling hand.wheel HW passes a certain predetermined position, for example amidships, an interruption of the normal action is arranged to take place either by opening the circuit of one or both of the motors M<1>, M<2> or by de-energizing a magnetic clutch MC between the motor M<1> and the hunting switch or valve D', D<2>. By this means the disk D<2> of the hunting switch or valve situated near the rubber, which normally follows the movement of the disk D<3> of the other hunting-switch, is temporarily disconnected therefrom. At the same time, if the motors M', M<2> have not run synchronously, the disk D' is caused to centre itself, i.e. to take up the amidships or other predetermined position, by purely mechanical means, such as springs, balance weights, or fluid pistons, or by means brought into action electrically from a switch connected to the hand-wheel. The electrical action is effected by an electro-magnet, or an additional electric motor, or, as shown in the diagram, Fig. 2, the motor M' may be utilized for this purpose. In this diagram, three-phase induction motors are shown ; a rotor R<1> and a stator S' represent the motor M' and a rotor R<2> and stator S<2> represent the motor M<2>. In normal working, before the hand - wheel reaches the amidships position, the only connexion of the motor M' to the lines I, II, III is through a switch Y', the two motors then being in approximate synchronism. On reaching the amidships position, the hand-wheel opens the switch Y', and closes a switch Y<2>, connecting the motor M<1> in a circuit independent of the motor M<2>. The circuit also includes a reversing switch X operated by the rudder so that the motor runs in one or the other direction according as the rudder is on one or the other side of the amidships position, and breaks circuit when the hunting switch D<2> and the rudder reach the amidships position. The normal working is resumed when the hand-wheel passes the amidships position. Direct current motors or any other types may be used instead of induction motors. According to the Provisional Specification, direct-current motors may have slip-rings attached so as to assist them to move synchronously.
