Patent GB-191223626-A (GB)
Title: Process for Reproducing the Plastic Forms of an Object by Utilizing the Differences between Corresponding Images Obtained from Different Points.
Inventor: BAESE CARLO
IPC: G03F7/00
Filed: 1912-10-16
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 23,626. Baese, C. Oct. 16. Statuary, reproducing.-A method for the plastic reproduction of a given object is described which utilizes the fact that the perspectives of the object from different points of view differ owing to the relatively different positions which each point in space occupies. In one method, two photographs p<1>, p<2>, Fig. 2, are taken from two points o<1>, o<2>, Fig. 1, and are projected in superposition so that the images a<1>, a<2> and b<1>, b<2> of the points a, b of the object a, b, c, d coincide. The relative separations c<1> c<2>, d<1> d<2> then give directly a measure of the relief of the points c, d relative to the plane a b. Stereoscopic photographs are adaptable for the purpose and the above-mentioned distances c c<1>, d d<1> are directly measurable and can be used to guide an exploring-device or carving-tool by mechanism such as indicated in Fig. 3, in which e, f are points which directly measure the separation of corresponding points m, n of adjacent stereoscopic photographs, and h is a guide for the exploring or carving-tool. Instead of having two photographs, a plate with a number of lines or a well-defined pattern may be projected on to the object and used with a photograph taken from an adjacent position. In a further alternative method, several projections are made on to the object a, b, c, d from different positions and so that the images projected exactly superimpose on a focal plane a, b. This may be done by using a single projecting-lantern and a suitable combination of diaphragm, prisms, and lenses. In a photograph of the object with a series of such images projected upon it, each individual point of the image is represented by a number of coalescing dots as illustrated in Fig. 4, the size of the area depending upon the distance of the point of the object from the plane a b. A reproduction of these relative depths or reliefs can then be obtained by an engraving-tool with a conical end which can be sunk into a plastic mass v under the photograph p, as illustrated in Fig. 12. In lieu of a number of projected images and a single photograph, a single projected image and a number of photographs could be utilized in a similar way.

Title: A New or Improved Device for Locking the Doors of Railway Carriages and other Vehicles when in Motion.
Inventor: POORE RICHARD
IPC: E05B65/42
Filed: 1912-10-25
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 24,427. Poore, R. Oct. 25. Railway-carriage doors and the like, fastening automatically.-Relates to that type of automatically - operated fastenings for railwaycarriage and other doors, in which a pair of bolts h, h, normally out of contact with the top of the door m is adapted to have one of them swung into the locking position by means of a vane g, which is rocked by the current of air developed by the motion of the vehicle. The bolts and attached vane are pivoted at e within a housing a, a stop d being provided to limit the movement of the bolts. The improvement consists in the provision of a slotted bearing p for the gudgeons, whereby, with the aid of bevel ends k, k to the bolts h, h, these may be temporarily moved out of locking position to permit closing of the door after the device has come into action. A hood may be provided for protecting the device and guiding the air to the vanes.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Tempo Control Gear for Pneumatically Operated Piano Players and the like.
Inventor: ATKINSON HAROLD WARING
Filed: 1912-11-14
Granted: 1913-09-25
Abstract: 26,179. Atkinson, H. W. Nov. 14. Tempo-regulating means; blowing and exhausting air.-The tempo is controlled by varying the tension of a spring acting upon the motor governor, which comprises a valve adjusted automatically by the suction operating either through a bellows or directly upon the valve. The manual controlling-device comprises a member which may be tilted in either direction against the action of a spring, and provided with a cam or the like which mav be adapted to vary the initial position of the lever controlled by it. In this way, the normal tempo is adjusted without varying the normal position of the controlling-device. The pipe j is connected to the motor and connects with the windchest k through a port l<1> controlled by a valve l. The valve l is connected to the moving-board of the bellows i, which has a spring connexion ,q to a lever f, rotatably mounted on a spindle having loosely mounted arms c connected by springs e to a fixed member b and co-operating with pins d on a member a. The member a is mounted concentrically with the lever f, and is adapted to be tilted in one direction or the other to vary the tension of the spring g and thus alter the tempo. When the member a is released, it is returned to the normal position by the springs e acting through the arms c and pins d. Stops m, n limit the movements of the arms c and pins d respectively. A rotatable cam o, or a sliding member, is provided to adjust the initial position of the lever f and thus the normal tempo. A throttle-valve may be provided between the valve l and the motor. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the bellows i is dispensed with, the valve l being so formed that it is opened or closed by the variations in suction. The valve l is provided with a downward extension to prevent the current of air from producing a whistling noise.

Burglar and like alarms. -Electric circuits are successively closed when a burglar disturbs a contact-apparatus 26 so as to operate in succession a camera 31, flashlight 33, and alarm 23. The battery 4 is connected to bus-bars 2, 3, from which conductors are led to the above-described apparatus and to the vertical standard 11, upon which slides a falling contact-piece 9. This is normally supported by an insulating-extension 8 of the armature 7 of an electro-magnet 6, but is released when the magnet is energized on the disturbance of the contact 26. This contact comprises aninverted cup 36 suspended from a lever 37 over mercury by means of a spring, the lever being screw-adjusted so that the circuit is normally broken by a small air gap, but is closed when the cup vibrates. The descending weight 9 makes contact for brief periods with the pivoted bars 17, 16, so closing circuits to operate the camera and flash-light. These circuits are subsequently opened and an alarm circuit permanently closed by way of the contact 22. The alarm circuit may comprise lamps as well as bells, and may affect a clock to record the time of the operation.
