Abstract: 13,778. Clement, A. March 16, [Convention date]. Motor or power units.-In mechanism for the transmission of power, applicable to dirigible balloons and boats, means are provided whereby (1) the balloon &c. may be made to travel at a high speed within a small radius of action and with a large consumption of fuel, (2) one or more low speeds may be obtained with a radius of action increased in accordance with the reduced consumption of fuel, (3) in the case of a duplicated system of motors and propellers, both propellers may be worked by a single motor in case of injury to the other, and (4) reverse running may be obtained. A pair of shafts a, Fig. 1, provided with Cardan joints. are connected at one end to a pair of motors and at the other end to gearing B, which engages with two vertical or inclined shafts b, also provided with Cardan joints and connected by bevel-gearing to two parallel propeller shafts C. The gearing B may provide three speeds and a reverse, as shown in Fig. 3. A bevelwheel e keyed to the end of the shaft a engages another bevel-wheel f, mounted loosely on the shaft b and formed integrally with a pinion g, which gears with another pinion h keyed upon a secondary shaft i. This shaft i is further fitted with two pinions j, j, k of different diameters, and the shaft b is provided with two toothed sleeves l, m adapted to slide upon a feather key on the shaft. The high speed is obtained by moving the sleeve l into engagement with the pinion j, and a reduced speed by raising the sleeve m into gear with the pinion k. When only one of the motors is operative and it is required to obtain a speed that is reduced in accordance with this reduction of power, the sleeve l is raised so as to clutch the bevelwheel f, thus producing a direct drive. Lastly, to obtain reverse running, the sleeve m is moved into engagement with another bevel-wheel n<1>, which is loosely mounted on the shaft band gears with the wheel e. Fig. 4 shows a twospeed gear for connecting the shafts a, b of the type in which two bevel-wheels n, o of different diameters are keyed to the shaft a and gear respectively with bevel-wheels p, q mounted loosely on the shaft b, and in which the wheel o also gears with another bevel-wheel q<1> loose on the shaft b. The top speed is obtained by moving a claw clutch sleeve r into engagement with the sleeve s of the wheel p, while the reduced speed and reverse are obtained by moving a similar clutch t into engagement with the wheel q or q<1>, respectively. For driving both propellers with either of the motors, used singly, the shafts a, Fig. 1, are connected by chain gearing, one of the pinions E of which is loose on its shaft, but may be clutched thereto as required.

Abstract: 1768. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. June 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Alternating-current commutator machines.-Relates to drum-wound compensating-winding for polyphase commutator machines with drum-wound armatures. The compensating-winding carries current derived from at least three phases, and consists in effect of two or more separate and specially parallel conductors broken up and so interconnected that each phase current flows through parts of different strands in series. A three-phase armature and its compensating-winding are shown respectively in Figs. 2 and 3, having twenty-four armature bars and sixteen stator bars in the zone A B. The currents from the armature brushes j<1>, j<2>, j<3> are led to the stator winding, and, as is shown in the Specification, the brush currents in the four stator bars enclosed by the circle b, Fig. 3, compensate the currents in the six armature bars similarly enclosed in Fig. 2. The stator winding may be regarded as made up of two parallel strands, shown in thick and thin lines, each originally complete by being joined at the circles marked a but actually cut open at these places and interconnected by conductors u<1>, u<2>, u<3>, so that the line currents from the terminals I, II, III traverse portions of both strands in series. Specification 18,817/06 is referred to.

Abstract: 2643. Kent, W. G., and Ardley, W. G. Feb. 2. [Cognate Application, 8957/10.] Mixing liquids in definite proportions.-For mixing liquids in definite proportions, and more particularly for mixing purifying-agents with water passing through a main, one of the liquids is caused to flow through a Venturi tube while the other (the reagent) is contained in a vessel from which it flows, at a rate controlled by the Venturi head, into the down-stream side of the tube, where the two liquids first meet. In one arrangement, the up stream end is connected with an airvessel, the top of which is connected to the top of the vessel containing the purifier, the bottom of this vessel being connected to the throat of the Venturi tube, In another arrangement, shown in Fig. 2, tubes a, e connect the upstream end and the throat to a valve box with pistons g', h', the valve box containing two four-way cocks j, k operated by weighted bellcrank levers o, o<1> through levers l, m, n, n<1>. When the cocks are so placed as to open the pipe a to the passage g<3>, the piston g<1> is forced upwards by entering water and so force liquid from the cylinder through pipes g', e into the main. At the end of its rise the collar g<5> releases the lever o from a catch lever p to reverse the cocks, the lever being reset on the fall of the piston by the engagement of its tail with the collar. Meanwhile the pipe h<3> has been connecting the cylinder h with the waste pipe q and the top of the cylinder with the supply pipe d', so that when the cocks are reversed the piston h' is at the bottom ready to rise. In a third arrangement, Fig. 4, the pipe e, supplying liquid to the down-stream end of the Venturi tube, has a conical orifice r in which works a valve s, the stem s' of which carries a roller s<2> between guide-rollers u, which roller works on a cam t fast on the spindle of a drum t<2> over which passes a cord connected to floats in vertical tubes connected to the upstream end and throat of the tube, so that the Venturi head determines the position of cam and valve. The stem s' is preferably in two parts so that the proportion may be moved, while pointers v show the rate of flow.
