Title: Improvements in Roundabouts.
Inventor: BISHOP ROBERT HODGES
Filed: 1908-11-19
Granted: 1909-05-13
Abstract: 24,945. Bishop, R. H., and Sandwell, W. D. Nov. 19. Roundabouts.-The cars of a roundabout are suspended by ropes from the framework and are given a pitching movement by drawing-in and paying-out the ropes. The cars are also joined to the frame by a coupling which prevents any outward movement due to centrifugal force. The frame is rotated in the usual manner about a central column b, Fig. 1, which, as it is required to be longer than usual, has a sleeve e telescoping over it. The sleeve is raised, when the roundabout is erected, by racks f and spurwheels g and is held in its extended position by stays j. A casing k, Fig. 2, which forms the hub of the structure, rotates on the sleeve e and carries spurwheels v which mesh with a stationary gear-wheel keyed to the sleeve e. Two links w mounted loosely on the spindle of each wheel v carry transverse spindles on which are mounted sheaves x, y. The spindle of the sheave x is fixed but the spindle of the sheave y slides in slots z and is coupled by rods 1 with cranks at the ends of the spindle of each wheel v. A lever 2 loosely mounted on the spindle of the sleeve x is coupled with limbs 5 secured to the cranks on the spindle of the pinion v and is thus rocked as the structure revolves. The supporting-ropes 7 are joined to each end of the boats 6, and each rope passes over a pulley 9 round the sheaves x, y and is secured to one end of the lever 2. The pulleys 9 are mounted in frames which rock on trunnions so that the ropes will not jump off the pulley when the roundabout starts. Safety ropes r are attached to the cars on opposite sides of the structure and pass over tension pulleys 15, 16, Fig. 2, to prevent them from interfering with the free movement of the cars. The cars are attached at each end to a "Peaucellier cell" 19, Fig. 1, which is suspended by a swinging frame 17 from the structure. These linkages permit the cars to move vertically but prevent them from swinging outwards under centrifugal force. As the device rotates, the sheaves y are reciprocated thus raising and lowering the cars. The rocking of the lever 2 moves the cords 7 independently and gives to the cars a pitching motion.

Title: Improvements in, and relating to, the Production of Nitrates.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: C01B21/46
Filed: 1909-05-12
Granted: 1910-05-12
Abstract: 11,274. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. May 12. Nitric acid; nitrogen oxides.-Nitrates are produced by treating nitrides, alone or mixed with nitrates, with nitric acid or with the gases containing nitrogen oxides from an electric arc furnace. The evolved nitrogen oxides, principally nitric oxide, are treated with the requisite quantity of oxygen or gases containing oxygen, such as the nitrogen oxide gases from arc furnaces, and then with water or dilute nitric acid or a nitrate or other non-alkaline solution to produce nitric acid for re-use, and the unabsorbed gases are then absorbed in an alkaline or alkaline-earth solution or suspension to produce a mixture of nitrites and nitrates. More nitric acid may be produced than is required in the process, and this may be fairly strong. The nitrogen oxides evolved in the first treatment may, after addition of oxygen, be caused to act upon the nitrite solution in the same vessel. When carbonic acid occurs as an impurity, which may be the case when calcium nitrate and nitrite is being treated, this may be removed by treating the nitric oxide before adding oxygen with an alkaline substance. Specification 28,614/04 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Selective Electric Signalling.
Inventor: IRWIN JOHN THOMAS
IPC: H04B1/30
Filed: 1910-12-16
Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 29,206. Irwin, J. T. Dec. 16. Current detectors; electro-magnetic current meters.-In a multiplex system of telegraphy or telephony using tuned receivers for highfrequency currents, a receiving-apparatus consists of two instruments polarized by local currents of the same frequency as the signalling currents but arranged to be 90 degrees out of phase with each other, thus ensuring that one or other of the instruments will respond whatever the phase of the signalling current. The moving coils C<1>, C<2>, Fig. 1, are placed in the field of the coils B<1>, B<2>, which are in circuit with the alternators A', A<2> of the same frequency as the signalling currents, but 90 degrees out of phase with each other. The coils carry indicating mirrors M<1>, M<2>. The field for the coils may otherwise be produced by magnets mounted on rotating wheels. Fig. 7 shows a receiving - apparatus with a diaphragm D in which the coils B<1>, B<2> in circuit with the local alternator A, send the flux through the cores in the opposite directions while the coils C', C<2> in the line circuit send the flux through the cores in the same direction. A thermo-electric arrangement, shown in Fig. 8, is provided for receiving signals by complex waves containing two definite frequencies. The thermo-electric junctions J', J<2>, J<3>, J<4> are arranged in the form of a bridge with an alternator A, so that all four junctions are heated equally and there is no resultant electromotive force between C, E until waves of the same frequency are received in the line P, Q, whereupon the balance is disturbed and the magnet S' is energized. This effect is passed by the microphone M, and the transformer T, to the coils S, which produce a flux in the same direction in the cores. The similar receiving-system C<2>, E<2> is tuned to the frequency of the second component of the signalling wave, and actuates the coils S<4> which produce a flux in opposite directions in the cores. Hence the diaphragm D is actuated only when a signal is received consisting of elements of both the given frequencies. The thermoelectric junctions in the bridge arms may be replaced by resistance wires. In all cases a second set of receiving-apparatus is provided, which is polarized by currents 90 degrees out of phase with those of the first set. Thermal current meters. - In the thermal instruments shown in Fig. 3, stretched wires C<1>, D<1>, E<1>, F<1> are connected in parallel to the alternator A, and signalling currents of the same frequency, by heating one wire more than the other, cause a deflexion of the mirror M. Electrostatic meters.-In the apparatus shown in Fig. 4, the fixed disks B, C are oppositely charged by the alternators A<1>, and a received current of the same frequency through the diaphragm D causes a deflexion thereof, and consequently a sound in the ear piece E.
