Abstract: 5954. Lake, W. E., [Jones, J. C.]. March 9. Feed-water, heating.-Water enters the settling-chamber A<1> through the centre pipe H<1> from a preheater I, mounted on top of the tank A, and which is shown as a direct-contact feedheater. Excess steam and air escape at I<4>. The feed-water rises through filter chambers A<2> fitted in the upper part of the chamber A, and passes to a final heater, which may be attached to the side of the tank A or may be separate. The steam supplied to the heater I may be excess steam from the final heater. A valve operated by a float may control the supply of water to the apparatus in accordance with the level in the final heater. A chemical precipitant is added to the water on or before entering the tank A from the heater I. Safety by-passes N, opening at N' above and below the filter beds, are fitted round the chambers A<2> to allow water to pass if the filters G<1> become choked. Steam may be injected through the pipe P into the passage H to agitate the water and facilitate de-aeration.

Title: An Arrangement for Producing Slightly Damped Electric Oscillations.
IPC: H03B11/02
Filed: 1911-04-07
Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 8712. Ges. f³r Drahtlose Telegraphie. Nov. 2, 1910, [Convention date]. Electric oscillations, producing. - Relates to the method of producing slightly damped oscillations described in Specification 8524/11, in which two differently-tuned oscillation circuits shunt a common spark-gap, and form a single oscillatory circuit after the quenching of the spark. According to the present invention, one of the shunt circuits is formed as an open or antenna circuit. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the two circuits d e and b c are charged in parallel, and after the spark is quenched, a single oscillatory circuit d b c e, with reduced damping, results. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, a condenser g is arranged between the antenna and the supply leads f, the condenser and spark-gap being shunted by a choking-coil h, which prevents a static charge of the antenna and also the passage of oscillations.

Title: Improvements in Sewage Distributors.

Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 9661. Hartley, J. W. April 24. Travelling-carriage apparatus.-The rope connexions to the sprinkling-arms in travelling sewage distributors of the kind described in Specification 29,203 / 04, [Class 111, Sewage &c.], are so made that balanced couples act upon and maintain the arms at rightangles to the bed, so dispensing with the central guiding-rail. Fig. 1 shows the rope B passing from the winding-drum A to a point G<2> on the arm G, around the guide - pulleys D<3>, D<4> to a point M<3> on the arm M and around the guide - pulley D<2> to the drum A again. A second rope C, or it may be a loop of the rope B, passes from the drum A around the pulleys E, H to a point G<3>, by guide-pulleys E<3>, E<4> to a point M<2>, and thence by pulleys H<1>, E<2> to the drum A. Tensioning-devices may be attached to certain of the pulleys. Fig. 2 shows a modified arrangement in which a single rope is used. The rope clamp shown in Fig. 3 may be used for attaching the rope to the arms. This is adjustable on the screw 9 and, if desired, an arm may be put out of action by loosening the clamp and allowing the rope to pass over a pulley 11. In applying the invention to distributors having automatically-operated arms, as shown in Fig. 6, two endless ropes B, C may connect the arms G, M. Tensioning-devices may be applied to the pulleys 21, 25. In such an arrangement, each distributor may not reverse and drive both ways, but one distributor can act as a driver for the other. Since each arm completely spans its respective bed, it may serve as part of the girder construction supporting it. The distributing-tube may be made as described in Specification 13,847/07. It may be formed by passing a plate through the centre of a divided tube. The preferred construction is shown in Figs. 7 and 8, where the tube 26 is shown closed by a plate 27 which forms part of the lower member 29. This member is connected to the upper member 30 by lattice - work to reduce wind resistance. The tube 26 is provided with nozzles 32 which may be fitted with deflecting-plates, as described in Specification 3073/06.

Abstract: 12,060. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 21. Electro-magnetic switches.-Relates to a relay comprising two separate switches, an actuating- winding for each, and an interlock whereby each switch is opened when the other is closed. A magnetic frame 13 of H-form supports the coils, cores, and contacts. A shunt coil 15 is excited bv a distant switch, and raises a core 30 attached to a rod 29, which, by means of a collar 31, moves a bell-crank switch lever 16, 28 carrying a flexible contact 20 to close a circuit. At the end of this stroke, the switch-lever is automatically latched against return by a pin 27 taking behind one of two teeth 36, 37 formed on an independently pivoted bell-crank switchlever 32, which carries a flexible contact 33, and in this action the contact 33 falls from a circuitclosing to a circuit - open position. The solenoid 15 being de-energized, the weight of the core and rod tend to open the contact 20, and while the parts are thus latched, the contact 33 remains open. The closed circuit is automatically opened by means of an overload coil 14 attracting a hollow core 38 up to a collar 40 fixed on a rod 39 which strikes the horizontal arm of the bell-crank lever 32. releasing the contact 20 and forcibly closing the contact 33 at the same time. The second tooth 36 taking over the released pin 27 latches the contact 33 in its closed position. The operation may be performed manually by means of a knob 35. The relay is particularly applicable for use with an electro-magnetic switch or contactor to constitute a remote control overload circuit-breaker as shown in Fig. 5. A two-position hand switch is employed at the control point. When set into the position 48, the switch sends current to the relay coil 15 and closes the contact 16 in series with the contactor winding 46. The switch is then moved back to complete the circuit of the winding 46 and close the main circuit. If the overload coil 14 responds, the contact 16 opens, and the contactor winding is de-energised and the main switch opens.
