Patent GB-191316997-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Starch or Starch Containing Material.
Inventor: ELBORNE WILLIAM
IPC: C08B30/12
Filed: 1913-07-24
Granted: 1914-07-24
Abstract: 16,997. Elborne, W., Elborne, S. L., and Board, A. V. July 24. Starch - Soluble starch is obtained from cassava or other starch granules, or material containing starch granules, such as maize, potatoes, and wheat by moistening them with a relatively small quantity of water and heating so that such an absorption of the water and expansion of the granules occurs as to rupture substantially all the insoluble cell walls and liberate the soluble starch in a solid condition, either dry or adapted to be readily dried, the product being a yellowish or brownish opaque and porous or spongy mass which can be readily powdered and is non-deliquescent. So much water is used as is needed to make the mass quite damp without being pasty, during mixing or subsequently. In an example, 280 pounds of cassava flour is thoroughly incorporated with 15 gallons of water, say, in a mechanical mixer, and the homogeneous mass is sieved and heated on shallow trays in a steam-jacketed oven. Although a temperature of 215‹ C. is preferably used, the material is not heated much over 100‹ C. owing to the moisture present. When the conversion is complete, the temperature is lowered and the material partly dried by passage of a current of air, accompanied with turning or raking at intervals, after which it is transferred to a steam-heated floor, where it is periodically turned over; it is finallv broken up in the mixer. Or the partial drying in the oven may be prolonged to completion. The minintum quantity of water required in a given case-may he ascertained by experimenting with small samples. Before the treatment, gluten shou!!:1 he removed or reduced by usual methods from. for example wheat flour, or the material may be mixed with sufficient starchy material free from or poor in gluten sufficiently to reduce the percentage thereof. Starch, in granular condition, made by known methods from starchcontaining material, can be treated by the present method, for instance from rice or other grain as usual. The material is drained and partly dried, until it contains the appropriate quantity of water, before treatment.

Abstract: 28,299. Coursin, E. P. F. A. Dec. 11, 1912, [Convention date]. Angle-measuring instruments.-In a device for use in projecting bombs &c. from air-ships, a line of sight appropriate to the speed of the wind is given automatically when adjustments have been made on the apparatus for height, for speed of the vessel relatively to the ground, and for the constants of construction of the vessel and the projectile. As shown, the apparatus is comprised in two boxes a, b, of which the cardan-suspended box b contains a sighting-chamber, Fig. 2, in which a film i is traversed at a speed which is adjusted until the image of the ground projected by the objective e<1> appears to be travelling at the same speed. This adjustment is effected from the shaft j<6>, Fig. 6, moving the roller j<5> between the clockwork-driven disk j<2> and the disk j<1>, which transmits motion through the flexible shaft c to the film. This adjustment, which introduces t h e factor for the constant of construction of the airship, also serves to adjust the fulcrum l<2> of the bar o, Figs. 5 and 6. When the point m<2> is then adjusted for height against the scale m<5>, the point n<2> has imparted to it a movement proportional both to the time of fall of the projectile and to the speed of travel of the projected image. This movement is transmitted through the flexible shaft d to the pinion g<5>, Fig. 2, which, by acting on the shaft g<4> carrying pinions g<3>, causes a belt g<1> to be set in accordance with the observed speed. This belt carries a bar g, which acts as the sighting-line and is initially set to the correction required for the speed of the air-ship relative to the wind and for the shape &c. of the projectile.
