Title: Improvements in ship's course indicator and recorder
IPC: G01C21/00
Filed: 1920-12-06
Abstract: 179,575. Arundel, C. E. Dec. 6, 1920. Recording by distinctive marks.-In apparatusfor indicating orders relating to the course of a ship to the steersman provided with automatic means for recording the orders and the time of each order, a compass dial 20, Fig. 3, rotated by the navigating officer, rotates synchronously a similar dial in front of the steersman. A wheel 190, carrying type corresponding to the compass bearings is fixed to the shaft 10 which carries the dial 20, and the hour, minute, and meridian arbors of a clock fitted to the side of the instrument extend into the casing and carry hour, minute, and meridian type-printing wheels alongside the wheel 190. Above these type-printing wheels is a plate 210, Fig. 7, fixed to the side of the casing and on a shaft journaled in this plate is a reel 215 for a tape which is drawn under pins 217 by a perforated reel 214. A lever 220 is pivoted at 221 and carries reels 224, 225 for an ink-ribbon which passes round pins 228, 226, 217, 227, 229. A printing lever 251, Fig. 6, is normally held down on the type by a spring 255, but is raised when the compass dial 20, Fig. 3, is turned by a link on the rod which releases the brake on the compass dial when it is to be moved. This link lifts an arm 253, Fig. 6, carrying a pawl which depresses the end 252 of the type lever. At the same time the reel 214 is rotated by a pawl 258 attached to the type lever turning a ratchet wheel 257 and actuating bevel gearing 246, 245. The ink-ribbon is traversed by a wheel 232, Fig. 7, meshing with a wheel 236. The lever 220 can be tilted so that the wheel 236 meshes with the wheel 232, or the wheel 235 on the spindle of reel 224 meshes with the wheel 231, and is held in the required position by a spring 238 attached to a pin 239 in a curved slot 240. When the compass dial 20 has been brought to the desired position the cam on the arm 253 is withdrawn from contact with the lever 251, and the lever is pulled down on to the type. The pawl 258 slides over the ratchet-wheel 257 and a detent 261 engages with a wheel 260 on the shaft of the wheel 232 to prevent traversing of the tape and ink-ribbon.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical signalling systems
IPC: B66B19/06
Filed: 1937-12-15
Abstract: 507,502. Electric signalling systems. AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE & ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and SAMPSON, F. L. Dec. 15, 1937, No. 34785. [Class 40 (i)] In an electric signalling system, in which a pair of signalling leads 10, 11 extend along a haulage way, the point from which a signal has been transmitted is indicated by the pointer of a meter M2 which is held in its indicating position after the termination of the signal. In order to give a stop signal, the leads 10, 11 are connected to give a long pulse, causing relay LR to operate and thus closing a bell circuit in the engine house and energizing slow-to-operate relay TD. Upon TD operating, the short-circuit of the meters M1, M2 is removed and the slightly slow-to-operate relay MD is energized, causing clamping magnets CM1, CM2 to be energized, and locked over contacts cm1, cm2, clamping the meter pointer in position. The engineman cancels the reading,of meter M1 by the cancelling key CK1 so that upon the receipt of a start signal the new reading of meter M1 may be compared with that of meter M2. If they are substantially the same, showing that the two signals came from points close to one another on the haulage way, the engine may be started. The engine may be arranged to be automatically stopped by a signal from the haulage way. The meters M1, M2 may be aligned and illuminated in order to render the comparison of their readings easier. Code signals may be sent from the haulage way, ringing the bell over circuit 12, 13, the remainder of the apparatus being unaffected since TD does not operate on short pulses. In order to compensate for varying supply voltage, double coil movement meters may be used.
