Title: Improvements in connection with Surface Contact Electric Traction Systems Working with Magnetically Operated Switches.
Filed: 1902-01-09
Granted: 1902-11-27
Abstract: 667. Dolter Electric Traction, Ltd., [Dolter, H.]. Jan. 9. Electric railways and tramways on a roadcontact system with switches operated by electromagnets on the vehicle, such as are described in Specification No. 11,776, A.D. 1899. Collectors ; cunductors ; switches.-The skate or collector, which is magnetized to operate the road switches, is divided into lengths by non-magnetic conducting-material p, q, and the connections to the magnetizing coils r are so arranged that the rear sections in regard to the direction of travel either have opposite polarities N, S, to the forward and longer sections or are not magnetized at all. Current is supplied from the motor circuit, or from the battery in parallel therewith, by a switch, shown developed in Fig. 4, with contacts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, +, -, X, Z coupled for one or other direction of the vehicle by the contacts u, u<1>, v, v<1>. This arrangement helps to release the road switches even in case there are leakage currents, and transfers the sparking to the road contacts. To reduce any sparking at the contacts in the road switch itself, an electromagnetic blow-out is provided, as shown in Fig. 7. The movable contact e carried by the insulated lever arm g from the pivoted armature g<1> is connected thereto by wires coiled round pole-pieces 7 attached to the head e<1>, so as to produce a magnetic field across the contacts e, d and to blow out the spark when they separate.
Patent GB-190202061-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Photographic Cameras.
Inventor: BARTLETT EDWIN DREW
Filed: 1902-01-25
Granted: 1903-01-08
Abstract: 2061. Bartlett, E. D. Jan. 25. Cameras; change-boxes.-Relates to magazine cameras, and consists chiefly of improvements on the inventions described in Specifications No. 15,722, A.D. 1900, and No. 8082, A.D. 1901. The unexposed films are mounted on a flat pivoted core or spool, the films being held on by ribbons wrapped round the core. As the films are exposed, they are unwound from the core and dropped in a receptacle 2, Fig. 2. It is necessary in such cameras to keep the lens 5 at a constant focal distance from the film about to be exposed as the films are removed, and this is usually done by mounting the lens in a carrier, which slides in the camera casing, and is pulled against the front film by a spring. In this Specification, several devices are described for reducing the travel of the lens carrier as the film spool 1 is rotated. In Fig. 2 this is done by making the lens carrier in two parts 4 and 5, telescoping one into the other. Another device is to mount the pivots of the spool on slides so that they can yield backwards. The movement of the lens towards the spool may be regulated by a cam actuated by the rotation of the spool. Devices are described to facilitate the insertion and removal of the spool from the camera, consisting in mounting one pivot of the spool on a lever pivoted to the side of the camera, and of a slide to lock the key which turns the spool. To prevent the films from rubbing on the lens carrier as the spool is rotated, a device such as that shown in Fig. 9 is employed. An inclined arm 46 with pegs 47 is mounted on the end of the spool 1. As the spool is rotated, one of the pegs 47 holds back the end of the carrier 3 until the spool has resumed its final position, when the peg drops into a notch 48 and allows the end of the carrier to move up until it comes in contact with the front film on the spool. A spool with receiving - box, suitable for attachment to an ordinary camera, is described. The pivots of the spool are mounted on a frame, which is connected to the back of the camera by a short bellows 62, Fig. 10, which allows the necessary displacement of the pivots as the spool rotates. The receiving- box 2, when not in use, is folded up against the back of the camera.

Title: Improvements in Belt Conveyors for Carrying Ore or other Materials.
Filed: 1902-09-19
Granted: 1903-07-16
Abstract: 20,472. Fraser & Chalmers, Ltd., [Cook, J. F.]. Sept. 19. Conveyers.-Consists of means for actuating a conveyer in accordance with the demand for the material which it carries, and is especially adapted for use with ore stamps. The conveyer belt A, carried by drums B, B', is moved step by step by means of a friction feed, comprising levers G formed with notches, between which and a friction disc F are placed balls or rollers H. The levers G are pressed upwards by a spring L, and their maximum stroke is determined by a screw N. On the stamp spindle is a tappet Q adapted, when the stamp is empty enough, to depress a lever J<1> connected by a link K to the levers G. When the stamp is full, the tappet Q does not fall low enough to reach the lever J<1>, and the conveyer, therefore, remains stationary. The conveyer is thus actuated in accordance with the lack of material in the stamp. The conveyer belt is broad, and is supplied from a shoot P, and the material is thus fed evenly into the whole length of the stamp.
