Abstract: 28,164. HarlÚ et Cie. Dec. 7, 1908, [Convention date]. Search-lights, directing.-The movement of a telescope about a vertical axis is made to control a motor arranged to rotate a search-light about a vertical axis, while the movement of the telescope about an horizontal axis is made to control a motor arranged to rotate the light about a vertical axis, the telescope being mounted on a circle after the manner of a theodolite. A relay controlling the circuit of a motor, required to make a predetermined number of revolutions, is placed in the neutral arm of a wheatstone bridge, while the operating-motor is arranged to restore the balance of the bridge and cut the motor out after it has operated. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the armature of a relay motor A is connected to a reverser R, which closes the circuit in either direction of the power motor M when the balance of the wheatstone bridge is disturbed. The balance of the bridge is restored by the operation of the motor M. In a modification, the relay motor controls the circuits of electro-magnets which operate the reverser. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the relay motor A also controls resistance sections S, the resistances being short-circuited when the bridge is greatly disturbed and gradually inserted as the balance is restored. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also an arrangement in which the operating-motors are placed in the neutral wire of the bridge ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 13,325. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. June 1. Controllers, actuating-mechanism for; systems for continuous-current motors only.-An electromagnetically actuated controller comprises a core C carrying a number of separate switch members D<2>, D', e<5>, e, some of which e<5>, c successively cut out resistances from the motor circuit as the motor speeds up, while the others D<2>, D' are adapted to introduce resistance into the circuit of the solenoid B. When the main switch L is closed, the shunt winding k<2> is excited, and the armature k and series winding k<1> are connected through the resistances 13, 14. The solenoid B is connected across the armature k. As the motor speeds up, the core C rises and successively short-circuits the resistances 14, 13, and successively puts the resistances 24, 22 into the circuit of the solenoid B. The successive operation of the switches D', D<2> is effected by properly positioning the stops d, d<1>, d<2>, between which the switch members D<1>, D<2>, which are loosely mounted on the tail rod D, are free to move. The core C seals with a movable plug H fixed to an adjustable collar h when the switch e<5> closes and with a fixed plug F when the switch e. closes. A non- magnetic bushing G separates the two plugs H, F. The armature potentials at which the switches e<5>, c close may be varied by altering the position of the stop d<2> and the tension of the spring e<6> respectively. In a modification, a switch member similar to c<5> is used in place of the double flexible brush member e.
