Title: Improvements in Space Telegraphy.
Inventor: STONE JOHN STONE
Filed: 1907-08-02
Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 17,690. Stone, J. S. Aug. 3, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Telegraphs.-In a receiving system for wireless telegraphy in which the elevated-conductor system has a pronounced natural rate of vibration different from that of the associated tuned receiving circuit, but which is highly responsive to persistent trains of waves having the frequency of those the energy of which is to be received, the oscillations developed in the antenna by waves of other frequencies are led to earth by circuits connected in parallel with the tuned receiving circuit. The antenna V o is connected to earth through circuits o E<1>, oE, oE<3>, and o E<4>, the circuit o E including a capacity C<1>1, and the primary of a transformer M in parallel branches, while the other circuits include capacities C, C3, C4 and inductances L, L3, L4. A detector W, potentiometer B, R, telephone T, and condenser C2 are connected to the secondary of the transformer M. The circuit o E3 is tuned to a frequency higher than that of the waves to be received, and the circuit o E4 is tuned to a frequency lower than that of said waves. Thus if the wave frequency is n, the circuit o E3 may have zero reactance for a frequency of 1À05 n, and the circuit o E4 for a frequency 95 n, so that the reactances of these circuits for waves of frequency n are equal and opposite. The reactance of the circuit o E is equal and opposite to the reactance of the antenna V o, and the circuits o E and C2 I2 are tuned to the wave frequency. The circuit o E' is tuned to the frequency of the fundamental of the antenna. Accordingly the most pronounced rate of vibration of the elevated conductor system is equal to the frequency of the fundamental of the antenna, and oscillations developed therein by abrupt electric forces pass to earth through the circuit o E'. Persistent trains of oscillations of frequency n pass to earth through the circuit o E, since the circuits o E3 and o E4 have an infinite reactance for waves of such frequency. Persistent trains of waves of frequency greater or less than n pass to earth through the circuits o E3 and o E4 A number of circuits such as o E3 and o E4 may be employed, and instead of connecting the capacity C<1>1 and inductance in parallel, they may be connected in series. Specifications No. 28,826, A.D. 1904, and Nos. 9417 and 9422, A.D, 1906, are referred to.

Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 3483. Wright, R. H., and Gill, M. S. Feb. 15. Movable-abutment type, with outwardly-sliding abutments Two pistons D<1> attached to a drum C rotate in a working chamber formed between the inner and outer flanges A<6>, A<10> of a two-part casing. Six abutments B slide in recesses A<7> as determined by cam-disks E to which the abutments are connected by rods B'. Steam from a pipe L passes through a perforated sleeve L', a .hollow shaft or trunnion F, passages C' in the piston drum, and passages C<3> in the pistons to the working chambers, and thence through exhaust passages G to a hollow trunnion F<1>. The passages C<3> are controlled by reversing and governing valves H, Fig. 9. As shown in Fig. 3, the lower rightband chamber is in connexion with the steam passage C<2> by a port H<3>, and the lower left-hand chamber, which has been exhausted by the passage G, is in connexion with the passage G through a relief port H<2> and a non-return valve G<3> so that the remaining steam can be swept out by the piston. The right-hand relief passage is closed by the part H5 of the valve. For reversing the engine, the valves H are given a half-rotation, and for governing, the valves move radially in accordance with the speed. The valve stems H<6> are splined to bevel-wheels P which gear with a wheel I' on the shaft I. The shaft I is prevented from endways movement by the bevelgear and a collar I<10>, and is threaded to pass through a nut J. The nut J has extending ears J<3>, Fig. 2, engaging slots in a sleeve on the end of the shaft F, and is revolubly mounted in a lever K. When the lever K is swung on its pivot, the shaft I is caused to revolve relatively to the shaft F and drum C and so rotate the valves H. The valve stems carry grooved collars H<7> which are engaged by the forked ends of bell-crank levers H<8>. The other arms of these levers engage a sleeve H<9> and so are connected to a rod H" in the hollow of the shaft I. A spring E<12> tends to hold the rod in extreme position and opposes the centrifugal action of the valves and valve stems. Where the abutments press upon the periphery of the drum C, they are provided with U-shaped packing-pieces B<5> which are pressed outwards by springs. The pistons are packed at the roots of the side pieces by strips of triangular section. The abutment rods B' are slotted to engage with lugs on the ends of the abutments and are guided by flat slotted plates which pass between the parts E, E<1> of the cam-disk and are anchored to the casing. The engine shaft is geared to a shaft N through epicyclic gear. The wheels M<3> are carried by a disk M<4> keyed to the shaft F<2>, and gear on the outside with the fixed internally-toothed casing M<1> and on the inside with a pinion N' on the shaft N.
