Contact-makers.-The armature of an electromagnetic interrupter for induction apparatus, bells, buzzers, &c. is operated by two electro-magnets, one of which has two equal and opposite windings. The electro-magnet b has a single winding g, connected in parallel with the winding f, on the electro-magnet a, which also carries the oppositelywound coil e. The armature d is pivoted at c, and is included in the circuit of the coils f, g. When the switch h is closed, current from the battery i energizes the coil e. The electro-magnet a attracts the armature d, thus closing the contact k in the circuit of the coils f, g. The effects produced by the coils e, f are equal and opposite, so that the armature d is attracted by the electro-magnet b. This opens the contact k, and breaks the circuit of the coils f, g. The armature is then attracted again by the coil e, which has a steady current flowing through it. The contact k is closed, and the former action is repeated.

Title: Process for Treating Wurtzilite or Elaterite
Inventor: STINE MARCUS
Filed: 1907-09-02
Granted: 1907-12-05
Abstract: 19,629. Stine, M. Sept. 2. Asphalts.-In order to render wurtzilite or elaterite soluble in the vehicles used in making liquid coating-compositions, the bitumen is heated for some time at 350‹ C., together with resinous substances, which fuse, but do not decompose at 350‹ C., and are, after treatment, soluble in the liquid vehicles, as for example, gilsonite or amber. The substances are ground together before heating, or the resinous substances are fused and the bitumen is then added. The vapours given off during the heating are condensed. The mixture after cooling is broken up and dissolved in carbon tetrachloride, tar hydrocarbons, terpenes, resin spirits, chloroform, carbon bisulphide, or petroleum hydrocarbons. The fused mixture may be mixed with a further quantity of bitumen and heated to obtain a soluble product, and this may be repeated three or four times to obtain a soluble product containing a high percentage of wurtzilite in which the high electric insulating properties of wurtzilite may be utilized. Rubber, guttapercha, easily fusible resin, wax, pigments, &c. may be added to the mixture. A sample coating- composition which gives an acid-proof, highly lustrous coating consists of wurtzilite, which has been fused with gilsonite, turpentine, and linseed or other oil.
