[Class 94 (i)] Comprises special means for starting and stopping the deliverymechanism associated with a hopper when hole low articles or containers to be filled therefrom are brought into register with and removed from the delivery opening. Fig. 2 shows a hopper 12 fitted with a vertical delivery worm and a stirrer driven by bevel gear 16 through a clutch 18. Fig. 3 shows a platform 54 over which the containers pass in succession and are adapted to be raised thereon to abut against the delivery opening during filling and to be subsequently lowered again and passed onwards. The platform 54 is raised by swinging the hand lever 30 which rotates toothed gearing 32, 33 and thus drives a chain 26 connected to the sliding stem 20 of the platform. The upward movement of the stem 20 moves the toggle 35, 38 to abut against the stop 44 and in so doing swings the lever 40 about the pivot 45 which movement is transmitted through the pivoted lever 19, Fig. 2, to engage the clutch and start the delivery-mechanism. As the platform is lowered by the increasing weight of the container, the toggles are reversed again by engagement of members 46, 47 and the clutch is disengaged. After this, the full downward movement is completed by the lever 30. The weight of the platform is balanced by a hanging weight 25. The lever 30 is fitted with a sliding spring catch 52 which retains it in tablelowered position unless positively operated.

Title: Fluid-pressure gauge
Inventor: PASSAGGIO CHARLES
IPC: G01L7/16
Filed: 1960-04-22
Abstract: 928,398. Pressure gauges; indicating-apparatus. SCOVILL MANUFACTURING CO. April 22, 1960, No. 14259/60. Classes 106 (2) and 106 (4). A pressure gauge comprises a sealed chamber 15a in which moves a hollow plunger 34 biased in one direction by a spring 17, there being a restricted passage or passages 31, 33 between the chamber 15a and the interior 29 of the plunger 34, and the effective diameter of the plunger interior 29 being substantially less than the diameter of the chamber 15a. Fluid under pressure is admitted to the chamber 15a through a passage 25 and thence through the restricted passages 31, 33 to the interior of the plunger. These restricted passages reduce shock loads on the plunger and other moving parts. Indication is effected by a pointer (not shown) mounted on a spindle 18 and moving with an arm 39 engaged by the plunger 34. The spindle 18 is pivoted in a stirrup 38, which is adjustably mounted on the casing by means of screws 44a passing through slots in the stirrup base-plate 19. This provides for zero adjustment of the gauge. To change the magnification ratio the stirrup base-plate can be bent away from the casing by means of a screw 46. This alters the effective length of the arm 39. In a second embodiment (Fig. 6), the pointer is not mounted directly on the shaft 18, but is actuated by a pinion and toothed quadrant transmission 55 mounted on the adjustable stirrup.

Patent GB-842336-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to tape record apparatus
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 1957-05-07
Abstract: 842,336. Magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus. MINNEAPOLIS-HONEYWELL REGULATOR CO. May 7, 1957 [May 7, 1956], No. 14513/57. Class 40 (2). In a tape record apparatus information is recorded in a series of discrete blocks spaced along the tape and interlaced with blocks of another series. The invention is particularly applicable for a data processing machine or computer in which information is required to be spaced in discrete blocks along the length of the tape and is frequently required a single block at a time. When a magnetic tape is used a high relative velocity between tape and transducer is required, resulting in unused lengths of tape between each block to cover the accelerations of the tape between its operative velocity and the stationary positions. The invention utilizes these spaces and adjusts their length by recorded pulses to enable a separate series of blocks to be recorded thereon. In the embodiment described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3, the second series comprises the second half of a recording sequence, when the tape drive has been reversed. Thus 25,000 blocks may be recorded in each direction, Fig. 2. Fig. 3 illustrates a magnetic marking system which permits the apparatus controlling the tape to sense the particular blocks of a desired series, to sense the logical half-way point, i.e. the physical end of the tape, as well as when the tape has been rewound back to the starting-point. The markings take the form of recorded signal tracks B, E for each half of the record and may conveniently be separate channels. Track B comprises an initial signal producing a positivenegative-positive combination of pulses, as shown in Fig. 3, C, to indicate the start of block 1, which is then terminated by a negative pulse. The following blocks are similarly indicated by positive and negative pulses to represent respectively the start and finish of the blocks. It is sometimes desirable to read the tape in the reverse direction, and it will be seen by the present system, as indicated in Fig. 3, D, that the signals still produce a positive pulse at the start of a block and a negative at the end. At the physical end of the tape, i.e. the logical middle, a special signal 44 will produce an alternating pulse 45 which conditions the apparatus for recording and reproducing the second logical half of the tape, so that during the return movement the start and finish of each of the blocks 25,000 and onwards will again be represented by positive and negative pulses, respectively, as shown in Fig. 3, G. Fig. 3, F, represents the signal produced by the reverse drive of the tape. A special signal 47 at the end of the second logical half reconditions the apparatus for the start of a forward drive. Electronic control circuits are described, with reference to Figs. 4 to 10 (not shown), whereby the pulses effect the conditioning of the circuits of the recording and reproducing apparatus.
