Title: Improvements in Weft Forks and Weft Fork Grids in Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: PICKLES THOMAS
Filed: 1903-12-23
Granted: 1904-04-28
Abstract: 28,205. Pickles, T. Dec. 23. Drawings to Specification. Loom weft forks; stop-motions.-The prongs of weft forks and the uprights and sides of weft-fork grids are covered wholly or partly with a soft, clinging, or frictional substance, such as indiarubber, gutta-percha, velvet, silk, cotton, &c., in the form of sheaths, or by wrapping with threads, or otherwise. The fork or grid, whether previously wrapped with threads or not, may be dipped into india-rubber or like plastic substance, or coated therewith, and if necessary the material is vulcanized in position. Or threads may be treated with india-rubber &c. before wrapping. The covering-material prevents weft from being pulled from the shuttle, so that the fork will not enter the grid to the ordinary distance, and damage to the weft and fork or grid is also prevented.

Title: Improvements in Combustion Turbines
Inventor: FERRANTI SEBASTIAN ZIANI DE
Filed: 1905-10-03
Granted: 1906-11-03
Abstract: 19,912. Ferranti, S. Z. de. Oct. 3. Gas turbines.-Relates to turbines of the type described in Specifications Nos. 1409 and 9495, A.D. 1904, applicable for driving ships, locomotives, road vehicles, dynamos, and the like. The turbine shown in Fig. 1 has a low speed external-work wheel b, and a high speed internal-work wheel c, which is connected to the compressors d. The compressors supply air to the combustion chambers e. Fuel is also introduced and the combustion products pass through and drive both wheels. The wheels may have a set of intermediate guide-blades so that they rotate in the same direction. The external-work wheel may have two sets of blades and corresponding guides, or it may be replaced by two oppositely-running wheels, and the motive fluid may be passed twice, through the blades and then passed into the compressor driving- wheels. Other similar modifications may be made A reversible modification has inner and outer sets of blades h, Figs. 2 and 4, on the external-work wheel b, and on the compressor driving-wheel c the guides p being formed to correspond. To allow the turbine to be reversed without reversal of the compressor, the external-work wheel blades hare arranged for forward and reversed driving, but the guide-blades m of one set are straight and not reversing-blades, so that the flow is reversed in one case and not in the other, and the rotation of the compressor is always in the same direction. The number of rings of blades and passes of the fluid may be varied. A turbine wheel r driven by fluid from combustion chambers s, or from the main turbine combustion chambers, drives the compressor when auxiliary power is wanted. The. external and internal work elements may be connected by gearing. The internal-work element may be used for driving a vacuum pump. The turbine is preferably governed by gear of the type described in Specifications No. 24,781, A.D. 1902, and No. 4556, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Rotary engines &c.], and various arrangements may be adopted. The governor t. may control the valve-gear for regulating the fuel supply to the combustion chambers. A governor v may control the fuel supply of the auxiliary turbine, or both the fuel and air supplies may be governed. Or the number of nozzles or nozzle sections may be regulated. Or the supply of air either before or after compression may be regulated. An air reservoir, and sometimes a gas reservoir, is provided for starting and may be charged by means of reciprocating pumps.
