Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1907-05-08
Granted: 1908-01-02
Abstract: 10,729. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. May 8. Dyeing.-Relates to the dyeing of paper pulp in the hollander with sulphur dyes.

Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 14,083. Jones, H. Sefton-, [McLellan, H. R.]. June 18. Injectors overflow arrangements.-In injectors of the Hancock type, means are provided for closing both overflow valves independently of the steam pressure, and for heating the feed-water. Fig. 4, an horizontal section on the line 4-4, Fig. 1, shows the construction of the overflow valves. Within the chamber S, the valve stem T is provided with two inclined portions 10, 11, which extend through slots in guideways 12, 13, 14, 15. These inclined portions are enclosed by connecting-members 16, 17 which have rods 18, 19, the opposite ends of which are hinged at 20, 21 to disk-valves P, Q; plugs 22, 23 allow of access to the valves from the outside. When starting the injector, the valve L is opened and then a handle e is turned ; this opens a valve K and allows the steam to pass into a chamber f, through the lifter nozzle B, and into the combining-tube C. The steam then passes through a port s, held open by the stem T which is in its innermost position, into the common chamber S and out through the overflow discharge conduit G. As soon as water appears at the overflow discharge, the handle e is turned still further, opening a valve h and allowing steam to pass through the nozzle D into the combining-tube E and out through a port t. The handle e is then turned so as to close both valves P, Q. To heat the feed-water, the set-screws 8, 9 are loosened, the valve K is closed, and the heater valve 25 is opened, allowing steam to pass through the port 24 into the intake pipe I.

Patent GB-190716510-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Photographic Prints and Printing Appliances.
Inventor: FARMER ERNEST HOWARD
Filed: 1907-07-18
Granted: 1908-07-20
Abstract: 16,510. Farmer, E. H. July 18. Photo-mechanical printing; screens; chromo-gelatine and like processes ; colour - photography ; printing.-Halftone and texture effects are combined, and more latitude in exposing, developing, &c. is made possible, by the use of a screen or film having a double granulation, which is placed in front of the sensitive surface either in photographing or printing. The screen is produced by photographing a suitable texture surface and a process screen through one another, several positions both within and without the camera being specified. The exact combination of these two elements may be largely controlled by the stops ; the screen-film may be finally varnished. If a half-tone screen is used in producing the picture negative, a screen bearing only the textured effect is used in either photographing or printing. To secure any desired degree of density in the shadows, the screen may be removed during printing, a special frame, Fig. 3, being used, in which the end of the paper l is clamped by a block m, the projection m<1> of which rests on the edge of the screen k. On the withdrawal of the screen k, the projection m' presses the paper l, owing to the resilience of the bridge o, and the screw p, down on to the negative i. Or the register may be preserved by the insertion of a transparent plate in place of the screen, obviating the use of an adjustable clamp. The invention is stated to be particularly applicable to colour processes in regulating colour values and gradations, and to carbon printing without transfer by allowing the soluble colloid to wash out freely.
