Title: Improvements in or relating to Gyroscopic Apparatus.
Inventor: SPERRY ELMER AMBROSE
IPC: G01C21/18
Filed: 1913-01-28
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 2294. Sperry, E. A..Jan. 28. Gyroscopic apparatus. - Two gyroscopic elements, coupled for equal and opposite precession in a pivoted frame common to both, operate as a unit and are so arranged that the unit, which may be mounted either in static equilibrium or pendulously, becomes a base capable of participating in all movements of the supporting body except angular movement about one particular axis, i.e. the unit is responsive only to one component of any compound disturbing force, namely the horizontal component perpendicular to the plane of the precession pivots. The gyroscopes shown, in side elevation in Fig. 2 and in plan in Fig. 3, comprise rotors 10 rotating on stationary shafts carrying stators 12 and enclosed in frames 11 connected, say, by gear segments 17 so that the gyroscopes are free to precess in opposite directions in one plane only. The gyroscopes are pivoted at 14, 14 in a common frame 15 pivoted at 15<1>, and are connected by a spring 20 to ensure return of the gyroscopes to the normal position after precession. Means are provided for limiting the swing of the unit as a whole about the pivots 15<1> such as stops 25, which engage the frames 11 when the unit swings and thereby exert an arresting force upon the main frame 15 by way of the frames 11, simultaneously arresting precession. Means are provided for locking the unit in position by engaging the frames 11 and thereby locking the main frame 15 and the frames 11, for example by an electro-magnet 27 which, when energized, moves into physical contact with the frame 11. Two or more indicators of elevation such as levels 26, of different degrees of sensitiveness are provided. Means are provided for adjusting the position or preventing oscillation of the unit as a whole, or of the gyroscopes alone, comprising a handle 30 or the like on one or more of the frames 11 by which it can be controlled in its movements or arrested or moved about the precession pivots 14, and in virtue of gyroscopic reaction the main frame 15 can be controlled, arrested, or moved from the handle 30. When the apparatus is locked as above by the electro-magnet 27, the frame 15 may readily be adjusted in a new position. In the form of apparatus shown in Fig. 5, the gyroscopes are supported by resilient torsion filaments 32, and when the apparatus is not in operation the whole weight of the gyroscopes is taken by raising a vertically-adjustable arm 35; pins 38 on this. arm by engagement with cams 39 on the frames 11 at the same time centre the gyroscopes. The rotor 10 is of solid magnetic material and is hollow to accommodate the stator 12 which supports electrical windings and has a hollow shaft to accommodate supply conductors. The means described above for limiting the swing and for locking the unit are applicable to other forms of gyroscopic apparatus.

Magnetic separators.-The separator comprises superposed poles carrying an intermittent, pulsating, or alternating flux, arranged so that the upper pole separates the material into two streams which then come under the influence of the lower pole, the magnetic particles descending between successive attractions to the poles. The separation may take place in air or water. In the form shown in Fig. 7, upper and lower poles d, c are detachahly fixed to the side of a tank s, the material to be treated is supplied by a shoot j, and the magnetic and non- magnetic materials are discharged through hoppers r, l, respectively. An adjustable guide plate k is arranged between the separated streams, and the outlet from one or both hoppers may be provided with a valve v controlled by a float x. The poles may be covered with non-magnetic material, which may, as shown at f, extend over the air gap between the poles, or the gap between the poles may be filled in with non-magnetic material. Baffle-plates 1, 3 may be provided to guide the material to the poles, and water is preferably supplied in such a manner that a stream flows past the separation point in opposition to the deflective tendency of the lower pole; for example water may be supplied to the hopper by a pipe y in excess of that discharging through the bottom of such hopper. The lines of force may be concentrated by suitably forming the poles, and laminated poles may be used if desired with air gaps or non-magnetic material between the laminations.

Abstract: 8728. Fox, W. F., Hickey, W. H., and Kinemacolour Co. April 7. Right to Patent relinquished. Colour photography.-In a process applicable for kinematography, two negatives A, Fig. 1, are taken through colour filters such as red and green. In the example, the picture comprises two crosses against a white background, the left cross being red and the right cross being green. From the negative A, a positive, B, Fig. 2, is printed. A print is then made on a transparent film from the green negative G and from the red positive R in succession, such printings being shown in Figs. 3 and 4 respectively, and the resultant print, Fig. 5, is used as a negative to print a positive, Fig. 10, which is to be coloured in two colours and renders the colours of the picture. This positive is printed on a film sensitized on opposite sides. On the other side to the colour print, a print in monochrome is made from a negative H, Fig. 8, which is a composite print from the red and green positives in succession. In printing this monochrome negative. Fig. 8, the successive exposures given are only half the normal exposure, so that the black of the negative may in the aggregate be printed with a full exposure. This monochrome print, Fig. 11, serves to provide the greys and graduations in combination with the print shown in Fig. 10. The film, Fig. 9, with the colour positive on one side and the monochrome on the other side, is developed and fixed, and the monochrome print is protected by a waterproof varnish or celluloid coating. The film is then immersed in an acid green bath (a formula for which is given), which colours the picture portion of the film green. The film is then treated in an acid fixing-bath to clear the print, and, after washing, it is immersed in a red dye, such as an aniline dye, which colours the transparent gelatine portions of the film. The film is then washed and dried. Alternatively, the monochrome positive, Fig. 11, may be superposed on the colour positive film first, resensitizing the film, and printing the monochrome negative. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 7368/13.
