Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 6635. Bulgin, W. J., and Lander, C. H. March 20. Pressure gauges. - The movement of the liquid in fluid-pressure gauges &c. is indicated by a float which operates a pivoted magnetic needle carrying an index hand moving over a scale. A U-tube A is provided with a float B having a portion b susceptible to magnetism. A pivoted horseshoe magnet C embraces the tube and is provided with a balance weight c<1> and an index c moving over a scale d<3> fixed to a carriage D, which is also provided with the needle points d' on which the magnet is mounted. The carriage D may be vertically adjusted by means of a handle d<4>, and is provided with extensions d<5> sliding in guides e in a base-plate E, which itself may be adjusted by means of a milled head e<4>. In the operation of the gauge, the index hand d' is set to zero by means of the screw e<4>; the reading is then made after the cucks a<9> of the pressure and vacuum pipes a<10> have been opened. Greater range is given to the instrument by graduating the shaft of the handle d<4> and lowering the carriage D a suitable number of units in case the index moves off the scale. A reflecting- mirror carried by the magnet may replace the index, and in this case the U-tube is adjustable to extend the range. A liquid bearing may also be provided by suspending the magnet from a shaft c<3>, Fig. 7, carrying guided drums c<4> which float in troughs d<6> containing mercury &c. A pair of astatic reedles may also be used in place of the horseshoe magnet. A continued-record may be made by causing the armature l<1>, Fig. 10, of a periodically-energized solenoid to press the index c<5> against a clockwork-driven drum K.

Title: Improvements in Method of Preventing Electrolysis.
Filed: 1907-02-20
Granted: 1908-02-20
Abstract: 4181. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Feb. 20. Electric railways and tramways.-Consists in preventing the electrolytic corrosion of an alternating- current electrode, for example an iron pipe, leadcovered cable, or other similar article buried in the earth and subjected to the action of leakage or other currents from an alternating-current railway system, by causing more energy to flow into the electrode than flows out of it, and thus neutralizing the corrosive action of the positive half-waves. This may be done by modifying the relation between the negative and positive half-waves, for example by connecting an aluminium rectifier between the pipe &c. and the rails, or by superimposing upon the stray currents an additional current, such as an alternating current with a distorted wave in which the average value of the negative half-wave exceeds that of the positive half-wave, or a direct current flowing from the earth or rails into the pipe &c. A battery or a motor-generator may be used as the source of direct current, or, as shown in Fig. 1, a mercury-vapour rectifier 9 may be employed, the negative pole 11 being connected to the pipe &c. 8 and the positive pole to the rails 5, or to earth 13, or to both. The rectifier is supplied by a transformer 10 connected to the trolly wire 4 and the rails 5.

Title: New or Improved Means for Raising and Lowering Ships' Masts and Funnels.
Inventor: CORDEN HENRY
Filed: 1907-10-28
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 23,742. Corden, H. Oct. 28. Masts, lowering and raising. The invention is described as applied to ships' funnels, and is stated to be applicable to masts. The upper part A of the funnel is pivoted on a spindle B supported by the lower part C of the funnel. The funnel is lowered by means of a worm-wheel or toothed quadrant J fixed on the spindle B or on a disk attached to the spindle B, and engaging with a worm G on a spindle F turned by means of a handwheel H. The spindle F is mounted on bearings in a hollow casting or the like E carried by a bracket D on the base C of the funnel. The box E may be pivoted on the bracket D, and the bracket may have a radial slot D<1> in it for studs E<1> on the box E to work in, so that the box E and the spindle F may be adjusted and set at any suitable angle. Means shown in Figs. 6 and 7 are employed for locking the funnel A to the base part C when the funnel is in its raised position, so as to take the weight of the funnel off the spindle B. A link M having side projections is carried by a bracket M<1> mounted on the funnel A, and a bracket N mounted on the bracket C has two lugs C<1> the faces of which are inclined so that the bottom part of the link M will ride up and drop behind them when the funnel is raised. On the bracket N is rotatably mounted a conical body P having round the base an enlargement P' of spiral form and sharp at the commencement. The conical body P is rotated by an arm R, so that the underside of the spiral enlargement P<1> may pass over the bottom end of the link M, securing the link. When the arm R is turned in the opposite direction, the sharp end of the enlargement P<1> passes under the end of the link M and lifts it clear of the projections C<1>. The arm R is supported when in its raised position by a chain S.

Air supply.-Air under pressure is delivered from the hollow furnace front into the ducts through which the burners discharge, and the supply is regulated bv the manipulation of the movable plates forming the ducts. As shown in Fig. 1, the air for combustion is delivered to mix with the spray from the burners h through passages m<4> between semi-cylindrical plates m. The supply is regulated by simultaneous adjustment of the plates. In a modification, Fig. 3, the regulating-means consist of a conical section m<7>, which is adjusted between fixed conical and cylindrical pieces m<5>, m<6> to vary the width of the annular passage and the size of the openings m<9>. In a further modification, the openings in a fixed conical section are more or less obstructed according to the position of a movable cone which fits over it.
