Abstract: 3861. Engle, G. S. Oct. 8, 1912, [Convention date]. Electrodes; electrolyte.s; connexions; connexions to carbons.-An alkaline primary cell has a negative electrode 26 suspended from the cover between two positive electrodes 18, which are attached to the bottom and have terminal extensions passing therethrough, all t h e electrodes being completely submerged. The negative electrode 26 may be of carbon, which may contain black oxide of copper or of manganese, or both ; the positives may be of zinc, and the electrolyte is made by mixing equal volumes of two caustic alkaline solutions, the second of which contains zinc hydrate as a hydrosol and not as a zincate. The first solution may be one of caustic soda or potash free from silica and iron, and of density 28-32‹ Be. The second solution, of the same density, may be prepared in either of the following ways. Zinc hydrate may be precipitated by soda from a solution of the chloride, washed, and dissolved in a strong caustic-soda solution. Or about 2 per cent of zinc oxide may be dissolved in causticsoda solution and water added to correct the density. During the action of the cell, zinc oxide is deposited upon the zinc electrode. The negative electrode is hard and porous and is made either from petroleum-carbon, or from gascarbon together with pine tar; cane-sugar syrup is used as a binder, and black oxide of copper or of manganese, or both, is added in the proportion of 10 per cent of either or of each, the mass being compressed and baked. The oxides present are renewed by the air that enters the cell. In the form shown, the carbon plate 26 is supported at the ends by connecting-bands 27 of copper looped round it and attached to terminal bolts passing through the cover. These bolts are surrounded by sleeves of hard rubber, against the outer ends of which bushings of soft rubber are pressed by washers and nuts, to prevent leakage. The two zincs 18 are united by cross-pieces 19 from which terminal-posts extend through the bottom of the cell, with packing similar to that used for the connexions to the carbons. Gas exits.-A chamber 12 in the cover of the cell has inlet and outlet holes out of alinement, allowing gas to escape and air to enter.

Abstract: 6652. Angus, A. R. March 22, 1912. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains. - Warning and stopping devices are successively operated under the action of fluid pressure when a traincarried device, which, except when moved by a track contact, normally non - electrically restrains the operation of both of them, is moved so as to lose its restraining action on the said devices successively, unless, when the restraint thereof is removed in regard to each of the devices the operation of the corresponding device is prevented. Specifications 7081/12 and 6330/13 are referred to. In the embodiment described, valves 21, 22, Fig. 1, controlling a whistle 26 and a train-stopping device 33, 34 are held normally in the position shown by pivoted segments 11, 12, which are themselves held by engagement with a head 10 of a train-carried contact 1. Upon the track arc warning and stopping track ramps. A warning track ramp is of such a height that, when the contact 1 is upon it, the head 10 is raised out of engagement with the segment 11 but not with the segment 12; and a stopping track ramp is of such a height that the contact 1 is raised by it out of engagement with both segments 11, 12. When a segment is thus released, it falls and releases the associated valve unless certain track connexions are properly made, and then it is held in place by the attraction of a magnet 38 or 39, which is energized by current passing from a battery 40 in a circuit including the contact 1, the ramp, and track connexions with the track rails. A lineclear bell 181 is included in the circuit of the magnets. Resetting levers 190. 191, 192 are provided for the contact 1 and the segments 11, 12. The levers 190, 191 are free to be used when desired, but the lever 192 is completely enclosed in a locked box. The connexions on the train may be as shown in Fig. 2, in which the current passing between the train and the track is furnished by a battery 164 and energizes a magnet H, which closes the circuit of the restraining-magnets 38, 39 only when the circuit is great enough to lift the armature 165 and not so great as to lift the lever 167 also.

Abstract: 8507. Machenbach, R., and Sprengstoff Akt.-Ges. Carbonit. Sept. 30, 1912, [Convention date]. Projectiles; projectile fuses.-Relates to bombs to be dropped from aircraft, of the type in which the fuse is set by means of a fan, and coilsists in providing a cap to be raised by air resistance to release a locking - device of the kind described in Specification 8492/13, which normally locks the fan against rotation.. The fan, in rotating, releases a pin which normally locks the plunger of the fuse. In the construction shown, the fuse is screwed into a socket 14 of the shell 13, and a guard 15, comprising two stirrups, is attached to the socket. The fuse comprises a needle 10 and plunger 7 held apart by a safety spring 8. A peg 5 passes through the plunger, and is thrown out by a spring 6 when a pin 4 is withdrawn. The pin 4 is part of a spindle 2, which is screwed at 3, and has secured thereto, by a nut 16, the fan 1. The spindle 2 receives, at its upper end, a spindle 17, which is attached to a cap 22 and also has a pin 18, which passes through slots in the spindle 2 and is normally retained by a spring 21 in notches in the upper part of a guide 19. Rotation of the fan and spindle 2 is thus prevented until the air pressure on the cap 22 has lifted the pin 18, against the action of the spring 21, clear of the notches; the rotation of the spindle 2 withdraws the pin 4, the peg 5 is then thrown out, and the fuse is thereby armed.
