Title: A Method for the Production of Autotype Half-tone Negatives.
Inventor: LARSEN WERNER ROBERT BUSCH
IPC: G03F5/22
Filed: 1911-11-14
Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 25,339. Larson, W. R. B. Nov. 14. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces. In making autotype half-tone negatives by exposure through two screens of a different character in order to diminish the number and size of the printing-surfaces in the lights, two screens are used having different but mutually dependent pitches, and the screens are either used together for the whole of the exposure, or, alternatively, one of the screens is withdrawn for the latter part of the exposure. In one modification, a line screen is used in conjunction with a dot screen containing dots spaced as indicated in Fig. 1, so that each line joining a dot p, Fig. 3, and the objective o will pass through the centre of an aperture q of the line screen. If a different objective o is used, the dot screen b must be adjusted to a corresponding position so that in the new position, the points p<1>, q, and o<1> are collinear. A dotted screen may be obtained by putting the line screen at a suitable distance in front of a sensitive plate and exposing the plate to a white screen. The line screen may be arrangd to obtain a dotted screen, as shown in Fig. 1, as a negative, or by a longer exposure a negative may be obtained which will produce a dotted screen as shown in Fig. 2, as a positive. The alternate rows of dots are in each case mechanically eliminated in both directions at right angles. The autotype negative is exposed through both screens during the whole of the exposure. In an alternative modification a line screen is used in contact with a dotted screen in which the dots have a spacing equal to twice the spacing of the line screen and are completly masked at the alternate intersections of the line screen. The dots may be plain square dots or patterned as shown in Fig. 5. In this case the screens are on surfaces which can be put into contact. The autotype negative is exposed for the greater part of the exposure through the combined screen which is equivalent to the line screen alone, the line screen is then removed, and the remainder of the exposure is continued through the dotted screen alone.

Inventor: THOMSON HUGH ALEXANDER
IPC: B61L5/00
Filed: 1912-04-02
Granted: 1913-04-02
Abstract: 7938. Thomson, H. A. April 2. Spring and weight control.-Railway and tramway points are controlled so as to be retained in either of their extreme set positions by a link mechanism having no dead-centre as a whole. Figs. 1 and 2 show one form of the mechanism in its two extreme positions. The mechanism comprises a frame 1 pivotally mounted at 2 and connected at the points 3, 4 to the stretcher-bar or operating-rod, the other arm being connected at 6 to a toggle-arm 5 connected at its other end to a pressure rod 9 pulling in a direction radial to the pivot 2. Stops 7, 7<a> on the frame limit the movement of the toggle-arm. As the points move over from the position agreeing with Fig. 1 to that of Fig. 2, the link-work, under the influence of the weight or spring controlled rod 9, resists the movement until the parts are forced just past the position when the links 5, 8 superpose, the arm 5 then flies past the instantaneous dead-centre of the points and carries them over to the opposite extreme position. In a modification, the rod 9 is subjected to a thrust in lieu of a pull. To convert the mechanism for use with a one-way point or switch, a pin is secured in the hole 12 to prevent the arm 5 from rocking over. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the toggle-arm and pressure-rod are replaced by a telescopic spring link 15.

Abstract: 24,457. Heins, O. Oct. 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Controlling different functions by same handle or lever. - In order to start the engine of a motor-vehicle, the clutch 3 is disconnected and the change-speed lever 7 is moved into a special starting slot. This movement first sets the transmission gear in the neutral position, then connects the pinion 16 on the shaft of a series motor to a toothed wheel 15 on the transmission shaft 4, and finally closes a switch 13 in the circuit of the motor and a battery 9. The motor then drives the wheel 13 and transmission shaft and stores energy in these parts. The clutch is then thrown in, and simultaneously the motor and rotary parts are connected to the engine, and a resistance 19, which was previously in circuit, is short circuited. The engine can overrun the motor as the wheel 15 drives the shaft through a one-way clutch. When the changespeed lever is moved into any of its ordinary positions, the switch 13 in the motor circuit is opened, the pinion 16 is disconnected from the wheel 15, and the wheel is prevented from rotating by a brake 23.
