Title: Improvements in or relating to typographical composing machines
IPC: B41B11/18
Filed: 1959-11-24
Abstract: 871,777. Type-bar-making machines. MERGENTHALER LINOTYPE CO. Nov. 24, 1959 [Dec. 30, 1958], No. 39781/59. Class 100(3) Assembling matrices. A typographical linecasting machine includes resiliently adjustable means for accurately pre-setting the desired spacing between the two depending fingers of the line transfer carriage for transferring the composed line of matrices from the assembler elevator to the first elevator, and means for maintaining the pre-set spacing during operation of the machine whenever the carriage is in linereceiving position. The long finger 24, Fig. 2, is set to the required distance from the short finger 23 by sliding the finger block 24a, Figs. 2, 4 and 5, along the carriage 21. The clamping block 26 is then set as near to the block 24a as possible by engagement with one of the grooves 25 set one pica apart on the carriage. A set-screw 31 is then loosened, and a compression spring 34 causes an extension bar 30 mounted in a channel in the block 24a to move out and against the block 26, the screw 31 then being tightened. After delivery of a line, the carriage moves back to the right to a position slightly to the right of line-receiving position to ensure engagement of the usual latch 50, and then moves to the left into receiving position. In order to ensure that the block 24a, which is freely slidable on the carriage, partakes of this leftward movement, it is provided with an upward extension 24b which engages an arm 43 pivoted at.44 on a block 40 slidable in a fixed bracket 35. When the carriage is initially in receiving position, the block 40 is set by a screw 41 in a position such that the arm 43, while held by a spring 45 with a detent 43a engaging a raised portion 40a of the block 40, is in contact with the extension 24b. When the carriage moves to the right of the receiving position, the extension 246 swings the arm 43 clockwise against the spring, and on return to receiving position, the spring acts through the arm to move the finger 24 to its correct position.

IPC: G01R19/22
Filed: 1961-11-20
Abstract: 946,163. Voltage measuring instrumente. MARCONI INSTRUMENTS Ltd. Sept. 6,1962 [Nov. 20,1961], No.41373/61. Heading G1Q. In a high frequency voltmeter arrangement of the crystal rectifier type an auxiliary source of standardised A.C. voltage is included together with a calibrated arrangement for taking from the auxiliary source different known fractions thereof, these fractions being used as desired as inputs to the voltmeter to check the accuracy of the voltmeter at different values of scale deflection. A conventional high frequency voltmeter has an input applied at 1, which is rectified by the crystal diode 9 and then applied to the rangechanging potentiometer 5. Thereafter the signal passes via the chopper type amplifier 7 to the meter 8. The auxiliary source 16 provides a 1kc/s A.C. signal of known amplitude which is passed via a range changing potentiometer 14 identical with and ganged to the one in the main instrument. Thereafter the signal passes through the calibrated attenuating potentiometer 11 and may be applied by means of the switch 10 as an input to the instrument. The rotating arm of the calibrated attenuator 11 may carry a specially calibrated scale, details of which are given (Fig. 2 not shown), which if properly adjusted enables the voltmeter 8 to be correctly read at different input frequencies for given attenuator settings.
Patent GB-416423-A (GB)
Abstract: 416,423. Photometric apparatus. HILGER, Ltd., A., TWYMAN, F., and FOLLETT, D. H., 98, King's Road, Camden Road, London. March 10, 1933, Nos. 7330/33, 14898/33, 499/34, and 1706/34. [Class 97 (i).] Apparatus for estimating substances which absorb radiation comprises means for isolating or separating radiation of appropriate wave length, a lens or pair of closely adjacent lenses for focusing the beam of radiation to form directly on an observation screen one or more pairs of closely adjacent or aligned images of the source of radiation, means for interposing a specimen in one part of the beam corresponding to one of the images, and means for equalizing the two images of a pair by relative adjustment of the intensities of the two parts of the beam. The means for isolating or separating the radiation may comprise either a filter or means for dispersing the radiation into a spectrum. The apparatus is particularly intended for estimating biologically active substances such as vitamin A having absorption bands in the ultra-violet. Fig. 1 shows an apparatus in which the desired wave length is isolated by a filter, which may be in one with the image-forming lens. Radiation from an arc 2 having iron or copper poles passes through the lens-filter system 3 and through an apertured plate 4. The radiation from the upper part of the aperture passes through a container 8 for the substance under investigation and forms an image of the source 2 on a screen 7, while the radiation from the lower part of the aperture passes through a compensating plate 9 and also images the source 2 on the screen 10. The images are observed through an aperture 11 and are equalized by a displaceable shutter 5 which can be moved by a lever 6 so as partly to cover the lower half of the aperture in the plate 4. The outer end of the lever moves over a scale 7. To render the images contiguous one of them may be observed through a narrow angled prism 13. The lens filter system 3 may comprise a plano-convex cylindrical quartz lens A, Fig. 2, silvered on its plane surface so as to transmit radiation at 3280 A.U. The silvered surface may be protected by a plate B which may comprise an additional filter of " Woods Glass." Alternatively the filter may be separate from the lens so that it can be replaced by others appropriate to the wave lengths to be isolated. The measurement may be made electrically instead of visually by allowing the two parts of the beam to be received by two photoelectric cells. Fig. 5 shows a form in which the radiation from the source 22 is dispersed by a prism 25 and then passes through the cylindrical quartz lens 26 and through the apertured plate 27, the lower part of the aperture being coverable by a shutter 28. The radiation passing through the specimen 31, and that passing through the compensating plate 32, are received on an inclined screen 33. A sliding screen 34 having a narrow slit 35 is preferably interposed between the screen 33 and the eye to enable any desired part of the spectrum to be isolated. The sliding screen has a wave-length scale 39. Specification 398,164 is referred to in the first Provisional Specification.

[Also in Division F2] In a nuclear reactor a neutron absorber element 9 is supported by a flexible tape 10 wound round a winch drum 1 actuated by a motor 6 through an electromagnetic clutch 8. If the clutch be released the absorber element 9 falls freely until it approaches its operative position when a pin 13 on the drum strikes a freely rotatable lever 14 which is attached to a free-wheel mechanism housed in and driving a cylindrical housing 16. The energy of the falling member is thus transferred through the lever and housing and a spring 17 to the inertia flywheel 18 which is set in motion; the member 9 is rapidly retarded, and finally arrested in a pre-determined position by contact of the pin 13 with a stop 21. The flywheel 18 may subsequently be arrested by any conventional means.
