Title: Improvements in and relating to the Control of Electric Circuits and Apparatus.
Filed: 1908-05-25
Granted: 1909-05-25
Abstract: 11,345. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 25. Distributing; regulating.-A predetermined division of the lead is maintained on generators connected in parallel by providing each machine with a Tirrill regulator, which is controlled by differential windings carrying currents proportional to the individual generator current and to the line voltage. Each field coil 7 is connected to the mains 1, 2 through a rheostat 9, which is shunted by a relay 10 with differential windings, each in series with a resistance and one in series with a switch, the arm 11 of which is attached to the main control magnet of the regulator. The regulator has the usual potential winding (not shown) and differential windings 12, 15. The coil 12 is connected in parallel with an adjustable resistance 13 connected between the armature and the line. The coil 15 is connected in parallel with an adjustable resistance 17 in the main 2. Under normal conditions, the effects of the coils 12, 15 counterbalance each other ; but, if one generator tends to take more than its share of the load, the current in the coil 12 increases, and the regulator is operated to reduce the voltage of the machine. At the same time, the regulators of the other machines act to raise their voltages.

Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 23,524. Twinberrow, J. D., and McKerrow, R. C. Nov. 3. Brakes.-A device for compensating for the wear of the brake-blocks of railway-vehicle and like brakes is arranged so as to allow of unlimited rotation of the operating brake-shaft in applying the brakes, with a limited rotation of the shaft in taking off the brakes. The device, as applied to brakes operated by screw shafts, comprises a clutchmember f keyed to the shaft and having a projecting lug g adapted to engage with a similar lug h on a loosely-mounted ratchet-wheel i. During the application of the brakes, the shaft is rotated so that the pawl k slips over the ratchet i. When the rotation is reversed to withdraw the brakes, the shaft can only be turned through the arc o, Fig. 4, when the lugs g, h again contact and the pawl k prevents further movement. The arrangement shown in Fig. 5 may be applied to power-brake mechanism. The power connexion may be made through the link x, and the brakes may also be applied by hand through the wheel p. To adjust the mechanism, the brakes can be applied by hand occasionally, whereupon the clutch f and ratchet i take up the slack as described above. In the case of chain-applied and other brakes where a greater angular movement of the shaft is required, gearing may be interposed between the clutch f and the ratchet i ; or one or more loose rings m may be interposed as shown in Fig. 6, each ring having a lug n on both sides to engage with the lugs on the ratchet, clutch, or adjacent rings. The device may be used in conjunction with the usual series of holes for adjusting the mechanism.
