Title: Improvements in and relating to Photographic Copying, Enlarging and Reducing Apparatus.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
IPC: G03B27/62
Filed: 1912-05-21
Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 12,050. Lake, H. W., [Huebner-Bleistein Patents Co.]. May 21. Enlarging, copying, and reducing. - In an enlarging, copying, and reducing apparatus similar to that described in Specification 23,717/08, the negative or copy D, Fig. 1, is centred in the holder E by means of two pairs of clamping-bars e', e<2> and e<3> e<4>, Fig. 4, each pair of bars being equidistant from and simultaneously adjustable towards and from the optic axis of the lens a. The sensitive plate I is adjustable in two directions at right-angles, and a half-tone or like screen is adjustably mounted in front of the plate. The lens a and holder E are adjusted along the base track c by two screw shafts c<1>, G rotated by micrometer handles P, R, Fig. 3. The bars e<1>, e<2> of the holder are moved simultaneously by rods f each having right and left screwthreads engaging nuts f<1> on the bars. The rods f are rotated from a handle f<5> through gearing f<4>, f<3>, f<2>. The bars e<3>, e<4> are similarly adjusted from a second handle by gearing f<9>, f<8>, f<7>, f<6>. The bars e<1>, e<2> carry plates e<5> with movable clamping-strips c<6>, Fig. 1, to clamp the top and bottom edges of the negative or copy D. The negative I is mounted between two clamping-bars i, which are simultaneously moved on the threaded bars, i<1> from a handle i<6>. The plate frame I<1> slides on the vertical pillars of a frame K, which itself slides horizontally on a bar l<1> and a V - groove l on the main support L. The frame I' is adjusted vertically by means of threaded nuts and screw shafts k, which are operated from a handle T through gearing k<4>, k<3>, k<2>. The bevelblocks k<2> are splined to the shaft k<4> in order to move horizontally thereon when the frame k is adjusted horizontally. This is done by means of a threaded nut l<4> and bevel shafts l<3> which are simultaneously operated from a handle S. Each of the handles P, R, S, T are provided with micrometer indicators consisting of a fraction wheel and a unit wheel indicating the number of complete revolutions of the fraction wheel. The fraction wheel gears directly with a pinion q, Fig. 6, on the shaft turned. The pinion q also drives reducing-gearing ql, q<2>, q<3>, q<4>, q<5>, which latter pinion gears with the unit wheel. The half-tone or like screen M slides transversely on guides n<1>, and is adjusted towards and away from the sensitive plate on stationary bars n<2> by means of two vertical shafts n<3> carrying eccentrics n<4> which engage the guide bars n<1>. The shafts n<3> are operated from a handle n<6> through gearing n<5>, n<7> n<8>. The handle n<6> carries a graduated wheel O which rotates under a pointer o<1>.

Abstract: 28,943. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Dec. 16. Specific-gravity estimating - apparatus. - In apparatus for indicating the density of a gaseous mixture, comparison between the pressure differences required to produce a certain acceleration in the gas mixture and a gas of known density is effected in a single-reading instrument. The pressure differences may be produced by a moving baffle or by a centrifugal blower. In one form, the two centrifugal blowers a, b, Fig. 1, fed with gas to be tested and the standard gas are mounted on a common shaft c and exhaust into the atmosphere so that the pressure at the periphery of the blowers is atmospheric. The pressures at the centres of the fans are communicated to diaphragm chambers h, i, the diaphragms of which are connected to opposite arms of a bell-crank lever f, which also carries an indicating-needle. Or the connexions from the membranes may be arranged to act at rightangles on a straight lever. The relation between the pressures may be shown electrically, for example contacts r, s, Fig. 3, connected to the diaphragms may move over resistances t, u in circuit with coils w of a d'Arsonval instrument. Or in the case of higher pressures these may be arranged to act on the mercury manometers 1, 2, Fig. 4, containing resistances 3, 4 in circuit with the galvanometer.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Neon Vacuum Tubes.
Inventor: CLAUDE GEORGES
IPC: H01J9/395
Filed: 1915-02-08
Granted: 1915-04-15
Abstract: 2020. Claude, G. Feb. 12, 1914, [Convention date]. Neon.-In the manufacture of vacuum tubes containing neon, mechanical or physical means are employed for causing movement of the gas from the tubes to purifying-bulbs and back again, during passage of electric current. The bulbs may contain strongly cooled charcoal, or cold or hot magnesium or lithium. One method consists in interrupting the electric currents at intervals. The movements thus caused are, however, inadequate in the case of narrow tubes containing gas at considerable pressure, say 10mm. of mercury. Larger movements can be obtained by immersing a purifying bulb alternately in liquid air and liquid hydrogen. If two bulbs R, R', Fig. 2, are connected to the ends of the tube, one may be immersed in liquid oxygen and the other in liquid nitrogen, the vessels of liquefied gases being rapidly interchanged at intervals, optionally with the help of an additional vessel, so that a considerable quantity of gas passes from one bulb to the other through the tube. In another method, a purifying-bulb D, Fig. 4, is connected to one of a pair of mercury receptacles B, C intercommunicating by way of a flexible tube, which may be furnished with a cock. Two bulbs and two such pairs of mercury receptacles may be provided, the apparatus being then analogous to that shown in Fig. 2. The lamp is subjected to electric current to remove occluded gases before admission of the neon, which may take place through one of the purifying bulbs.
