Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 12,422. Forbes, G. May 31. Telescopes.-By the use of a special prism, an erect image is obtained, while the observer looks downwards into the telescope when held horizoutally. The prism, shown in plan in Fig. 2, and side elevation in Fig. 3, has a vertical entrant face 1, horizontal exit face 4, and two internalreflection faces 2, 3 at right-angles to each other and having their common edge a, b at 45‹ to the faces 1, 4. The prism may be placed immediately behind the object glass, as at d in Fig. 6, or at the principal focus, or between the field and eye lenses of the eye-piece. In a binocular of the form shown in Fig. 6, the distance between the eyes is accommodated by the use of a rhomboidal prism g, which diverts the rays into a parallel non-axial path. By oppositely rotating the eccentric eye cups carrying the two prisms g, the distance between the paths of the rays from the two telescopes is varied. With the form of telescope in which the erecting prism is placed between the field and eye lenses of the eyepiece, it is necessary to move the eye lenses through double the distance moved by the erecting- prisms. Fig. 12 shows the arrangement employed. The prisms are mounted on slides k, k fitted with racks k<1>, k' gearing with the pinion k<2>, while the eye lenses are carried by slides h, h having racks h<1>, h<1> gearing with a pinion h<2> of double the size and mounted on the same shaft as the pinion k'.

Title: Improvements in Means for Heating Compressed Air or other Gas capable of Supporting Combustion for Motive Power and other purposes, and in their application to Torpedoes.
Filed: 1905-02-20
Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 3495. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Sodeau, W. H. Feb. 20. Compressed - air engines; combustion product engines.-Relates to a method of and means for beating compressed air or other gas capable of supporting combustion for motive power and other purposes, and to its application to the propulsion of torpedoes. The combustion chamber, through which part or the whole of the air is led on its way from the source of supply to the engines, is fed with fuel by the pressure of the air, the air for feeding the fuel being under a pressure which is markedly higher than that of the air in the combustion chamber. Two arrangements are shown. Part of the air supply flowing through a pipe b, Fig. 1, passes to the combustion chamber e, which is supplied with liquid fuel from the reservoirs h, j through a spraying-nozzle k, and then rejoins the main stream of air through the valve-controlled pipe f. The fuel may be ignited by an electric primer p. The air in the reservoirs h, j may be kept at a higher pressure than that in the combustion chamber by means of a valve d placed in the pipe c, or any existing drop of pressure may be utilized. The valve d, with the valve a in the pipe b, serves to regulate the proportion of the air to be heated. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, the requisite head for spraying is caused by the insertion of a perforated plate q, through which the whole air supply passes into the combustion chamber. When the.engine has made a certain number of revolutions, the valve m controlling the fuel supply is opened. Almost immediately the primer p is fixed.
