[Also in Groups XXX and XXXII] A monorail system comprises a car 3 suspended from a bogie 4 by means of a member 2, the bogie 4 being provided with running wheels 5 which run on the bottom of the boxshaped rail 1 and guide wheels 6 which contact the vertical inner surfaces of the rail 1, the coupling member 2 being arranged to be rockable about a roll axis parallel to the rail 1. The car 3 is controlled by means of an hydraulic servomotor 10 sothat its vertical axis is approximately parallel to the resultant of the gravitational force on the car and the forces which tend to roll it about the roll axis, in effect, a false vertical. The servomotor 10 is controlled by means of an E-type pick-up 9 which is mounted in the car 3 and which produces a signal corresponding to the degree and sense of the displacement of the vertical axis of the car with respect to the position of the pendulum 7 of the pick-up 9. This signal is amplified and then rectified in a phase detector 13 after which it is fed into a member 14 in which are derived its rate of change and its integral. The composite signal is amplified and filtered and used to control the servomotor 10 which is used to control the roll of the car 3. The servomotor 10 generates a feed-back signal by means of bellows responsive to the pressure difference on each side of its piston and an electromechanical pick-up the feed-back signal being fed into the amplifier 15 together with the control signal. The natural oscillation frequency of the pendulum 7 is between ten and twenty times that of the car 3.

Abstract: 762,483. Gas manufacture. FISCHER, K. O. P. Aug. 24, 1953, No. 23266/53. Class 55 (2). In the production of smelting coke, peat and finely-divided carbon-containing additives, e.g. mineral coal, brown coal, coke, peat coke, petroleum coke, are intimately mixed and coked at a temperature of about 1200‹ C. Preferably the carbon-containing additive is added to the peat according to the formula x=100.a/(100-a).b where x=percentage by weight of the amount of additive added to the peat, a=desired percentage by weight of the additive in the end product, and b=value of the shrinkage factor of the moist peat, i.e. the ratio of the weight of a quantity of moist peat to its weight after drying until free evaporation of the peat water is complete, i.e. until it has a moisture content of 25-30 per cent. In an example, a 70: 30 mixture of air-dry peat and coke fines is carbonized in a vertical retort heated to about 1200‹ C. for 16 hours.
