Title: Process for the manufacture of sulphur-dyestuff preparations
Filed: 1933-11-27
Abstract: Dry or highly concentrated reduced sulphur dyestuff preparations containing sufficient sodium sulphide for dyeing to be effected without further addition to the dyebath are obtained by reducing sulphur dyestuffs with alkali sulphide solution of at least 30 per cent strength and in quantity sufficient for the reduction and the dyeing process, and concentrating at a temperature below the boiling point of the mixture.  An alkali hydrosulphide may wholly or in part replace the alkali sulphide. When sulphurized baked dyestuffs are used, the crude melt is leached with caustic alkali and alkali sulphide added to the resulting solution so that there is present at least 30 parts of sodium sulphide for every 70 parts of water and also sufficient sodium sulphide for the dyeing process. Concentration of the dyestuff is then effected at a temperature below the boiling point.  In examples, reduced preparations containing sodium sulphide are prepared from the following: sulphur dyestuffs obtained from the leuco indophenol 3 - methyl - 4 - amino - 4<1> - oxydiphenylamine and the condensation product of diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid and nitrosophenol by treating with polysulphide, the dyestuff obtained according to Specification 7332/00, [Class 2], from trinitrophenol, the dyestuff obtained according to Specification 11771/02, [Class 2], from m-toluylenediamine and the dyestuff obtained according to Specification 3279/07, [Class 2], by melting m-toluylenediamine and p-phenylenediamine with sulphur.

Title: Improvements relating to automatic control systems for vehicles
Inventor: COPPEN JOHN DAVID
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 1963-08-22
Abstract: 1,097,141. Inductive signalling. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Aug. 24, 1964 [Aug. 22, 1963; Oct. 18, 1963], Nos. 33253/63 and 41167/63. Heading H4U. An automatic control system, whereby a vehicle is caused to follow a route defined by an energized leader cable, comprises two sensing devices 1 and 2 responsible to energization of the leader cable in dependance on the disposition of the devices relative to the cable, means 13 responsive to the output of the sensing devices to produce a pulse train, having a mark to space ratio representing said disposition, and means responsive to the pulse train to effect steering of the vehicle. The alternating signals, induced in the sensing devices, which should be positioned symmetrically on either side of the leader cable, are in phase and are fed to an analyzing circuit 3, which supplies the sum of the two signals on line 17, and the difference of the two signals on line 18. The phase of the difference signal is either equal to that of the sum signal or in antiphase thereto, depending on which sensing device produces the greater signal, and has an amplitude representing said disposition. The difference signal is fed to a pulse generator 13, which generates a pulse train having a mark to space ratio corresponding to the amplitude of the signal. The difference signal is also fed to phase comparator 6, together with the sum signal to give an output on lines 22 or 23 depending on the relative phase of the two signals. The vehicle is steered by a " steer left " motor 9 or a " steer right " motor 10, the appropriate one of which is energized by the pulse train via amplifier 8 and switching circuit 7. The switching circuit 7 determines which motor shall be so energized and is controlled by the output of the phase comparator 6. The amplifier 8 provides a negative feedback signal which is fed to the pulse generator, as a stabilizing signal. The same signal is also fed via terminal 9 to a threshold and braking system, whereby the drive motors of the vehicle are stopped should the amplitude of the same signal fall below a certain level. An all transistor embodiment of the circuit of Fig. 3 is shown in detail in Fig. 1 (not shown). Velocity feedback may be added to the system, Fig. 2 (not shown), using a tachogenerator coupled to the steering mechanism of the vehicle.

Filed: 1959-10-01
Abstract: 929,751. Making pipes; angular bending. M. R. FERRERUELA. Oct. 1, 1959 [June 5, 1959], No. 33311/59. Classes 83(2) and 83 (4). [Also in Groups XXVIII and XXXII] A machine for making pipes in situ comprises a motor vehicle and trailer on which are mounted a support for a roll of metal strip, means for gripping and electrically welding together the trailing end of one strip and the leading end of another, a series of skelping rolls to form the strip into a tube, means for electrically welding the meeting edges of the tubular strip, annular jaws for continuously advancing the welded pipe and guide rollers arranged to lead the finished pipe towards the ground. An engine and generator 1 mounted on the vehicle a, Fig. 1a, supplies electrical power by way of a control panel 4 to the pipe making plant on the trailer b. Rolls of metal strip 8 are lifted on to the trailer by a crane 6 and placed on supports 7 from which the strip is unwound and passed between guide rolls 9 followed by a series of skelping rolls 10. Rolls 9 are arranged in pairs on each side of a pneumatic press, Fig. 3, wherein the ends of two strips are clamped against stops 16 while being welded together with a consumable electrode from a reel 18. Flux may be supplied from a hopper through a tube 20. After passing through the rolls 10, the skelp is brought to true cylindrical form by rolls 29, Fig. 7, while the edges of the strip are correctly shaped by co-operating internal and external rolls 22. The lower internal rolls have a central annular projection which passes between the edges while the upper outer rolls bear on the upper surfaces of the edges. The final closure of the skelp is effected in a die 24 which is followed by another welding plant using a consumable electrode 27 and an internal cooled copper support 26. Welded pipe is continuously pulled from the machine by two unidirectional annular clamps 35 moved to and fro by endless chains 36, 37 and arranged so that one pulls while the other is making an idle return movement at higher speed. Each clamp is mounted on a carriage 32 with wheels 33 running on rails 34 and with hooks 38, 39 adapted to engage the working and return chains respectively. At the end of each traverse of the carriage a stop member engages an arm 56 of a rotary valve 57 to actuate a piston within a double-acting cylinder 41 and so engage or disengage the hook 38 from the driving chain. An arm 44 coupled with the hook 38 operates a switch 48 to control a solenoid 49 and so actuate the hook 39 that it engages the return chain when the hook 38 is released and vice versa. The laying of the pipe is facilitated by rollers 63, Fig. 1c, mounted on swing bars arranged on an inclined plane.

Title: Method and apparatus for drawing synthetic fibres
IPC: D02J1/22
Filed: 1961-09-18
Abstract: Synthetic filamentary material is continuously moved in engagement with a cylindrical drawing element prior to and during drawing, the moving filamentary material being elevated to the drawing temperature in a heat input zone maintained on the element, and after commencement of drawing being cooled in a cooling zone <PICT:0928701/IV(a)/1> maintained on the element, thus removing excess heat created by drawing and friction.  The excess heat may be continuously removed to the heat input zone so as to heat the filamentary material to the desired drawing temperature.  Suitably, the drawing element is provided with a continuous exterior surface and the heat input zone and the cooling zone are maintained on the exterior surface of the element, the filamentary material being moved in a plurality of turns around and in engagement with the exterior surface of the element over the heat input zone and thence over the cooling zone.  Apparatus as shown comprises a cylindrical drawing element 12 having a single continuous surface for frictional contact with the moving filamentary material 10 before and during drawing, said element being provided with heat exchange means for continuously removing excess heat from the filamentary material in engagement with a first portion of the element surface during drawing and simultaneously continuously transferring the excess heat to the moving filamentary material in engagement with a second portion of the element surface prior to drawing to elevate the temperature of the material to the desired drawing temperature.  Oil may be employed as a heat exchange medium, and an oil reservoir and oil heater may be incorporated in the drawing element.  Thus oil 16 is forced through centre tube 20, through radial holes 22 to the narrow annular section 24 and thence out through hole 26 to reservoir 30, where it is heated by heaters 34 controlled by temperature measuring means 32, and returned via pump 28 to the tube 12.  The oil or other heat transfer fluid flows counter to the direction of travel of the yarn, and so, by suitable choice of operating temperatures, is hotter than the yarn at the point where the yarn engages the tube, but cooler than the yarn at the point where the yarn leaves the tube, so that the yarn is first heated prior to drawing, and cooled after drawing.  The tube may be rotated either prior to or during the treatment of the yarn. Specification 543,466 is referred to.
