Abstract: 680,716. Article-dispensing systems. COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING PTY., Ltd. June 3, 1949 [June 11, 1948], No. 14980/49. Class 116. An article-dispensing system of the kind having a selecting mechanism operating to select and release articles of different kinds, has a price indicator operated by the selecting mechanism to indicate the price of each article selected and automatically to cancel the indication upon a fresh selection being made. The code number of an article is selected on a key board 1, which may be as described in Specification 641,494, and the selected clutch relay in group 6. is energized and discharges the article. According to the pre-adjusted connection of this relay with a pricing frame 7, which may be as described in Specification 680,714, vertical price bus-bars, corresponding to the price of the article in the shillings, pence and Halfpence denomination groups 15, 16, 17, are energized, e.g. as shown the bars representing the sum 5/0¢ are energized together with leads 18, 19, 20 which transfer the selection to a pricing unit 8 and a total price lamp indicator 10. Also the associated relays in the group 11, in this example relays 55, 0P, 1H, are energized over their left windings and thus close their locking circuits via contact d, contact 21 of order complete switch 13 and the now closed contacts 5s1, Op1, 1h1. The energizing of relays 5S ,0P, 1H also closes contacts 5s2 0p2, 1h2 which illuminate lamps LS5, LP0, LH1, indicating the price of the last article selected. On operation of the keys 2 to select the next article the relay D is temporarily energized and opens contact d thus de-energizing the locking coils of relays 5S, 0P, 1H and extinguishing lamps LS5, LP0, LH1 and at the same time the pricing unit 8 adds the price of the last selected article to the price of the preceding articles and indicates this total on the indicator 10. On completion of the order, operation of switch 13 opens contact 21 which then operates the circuit in the same manner. as the opening of contact d, and closes contact 22 which zeroises the unit 8 and indicator 10 ready for the next cycle of operation.

Abstract: 1,184,998. D.C. excited alternators. COMPAGNIE GENERALE D'ELECTRICITE. 29 March, 1968 [31 March, 1967], No. 15292/68. Heading H2A. A disruptive load, e.g. an electronic flashover gap 3 serving to pump a laser, is supplied with short duration very high peak power electric energy pulses via a rectifier bridge 2 by a H.F. alternator 1 having a high inertia or coupled to a flywheel, and arranged in parallel with the load, with its cathode connected to the bridge negative terminal, is a controlled rectifier 4 e.g. an ignition or a thyratron. Firing of the rectifier short-circuits the load, whereby the pulses have an almost square waveform. As shown, the alternator is driven by a prime mover 14 and is excited by a field winding 5 fed via a regulating resistor 6 by either the bridge 2 or an auxiliary rectifier bridge. Closure of a switch 11 discharges a capacitor 9 into the field winding 5 to initiate an output pulse, whilst at the end of a pulse a controlled rectifier 8 is fired so that the field winding feeds into a capacitor 7 and thereby the alternator is rapidly de-excited. In another embodiment, Fig. 2 a controlled rectifier (22) in series with the load is triggered by a device (21) responsive to the rectifier bridge output voltage.
