Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Separating Individual Components from a Series, and Successively Delivering them to other Apparatus.
IPC: B41B11/18
Filed: 1912-03-15
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 6483. Linotype & Machinery, and Field, J. G. W. March 15. Distributing matrices.-Relates to apparatus for separating individual components from a series and successively delivering them to other apparatus, and is especially applicable to the distributing - mechanism of typographical machines such as are described in Specification 14,582/90, in which the lines of matrices from which the type-bars are cast are conveyed to a distributor lift-box 2 having a verticallyreciprocating lifter 8, by which the matrices are successively raised into engagement with a toothed distributor-bar 6, along which they are fed by screws 3 until they fall into the proper magazine channels 7. To prevent thick matrices from coming in contact with one another and consequently jamming, these are, as heretofore, raised only at alternate operations of the lifter. This is effected, according to the present invention, by providing the lifter 8 with a stud or projection 13, Fig. 4, and the wall of the distributor-box with two inclined guides or cams 14, 15. When a thick matrix is raised by the lifter 8 and is moved to the left by the feed-screws 3, it carries the lifter so far to the left that, upon the descent of the lifter, the stud 13 passes to the left of the guides 14, 15, which prevent the lifter from engaging a new matrix at the following ascent. The lifter is then returned to normal position by a spring 10, so that it raises another matrix at the third ascent. Thin matrices do not move the lifter sufficiently far to the left for the stud 13 to engage the guide 14, so that a matrix is raised at each ascent of the lifter.

Title: Improvements in Telephone Exchange Systems.
Filed: 1913-01-23
Granted: 1914-01-22
Abstract: 1902. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T., (acting for Western Electric Co.)]. Jan. 23. Automatic exchange systems; impulse-transmitters.- Power-driven selectors, register-controllers, &c. are moved step by step into the desired position under the direct control of a single relay, the first part of the movement for each step of the selector &c. being controlled by an external circuit and the latter part by a local circuit controlled by the selector itself. The invention is shown applied to the control of the register-controllers used in systems such as described in Specifications 26,079/10 and 21,259/11, each register 21, 22, 23 for the hundreds, tens, and units digits being constructed as a sequence switch, as described in Specification 20,840/09. The clutch magnet 42 of each register is differentially wound, the left-hand winding being controlled by the line relay 26, while the right-hand winding is in circuit with a contact 39, which is opened by the register only when it. is in its normal or some other proper stopping position. The sequence switch 24 controls the contacts shown below the dotted line. The first tooth of the subscriber's impulse sender is longer than the others, so that each series of rapid impulses terminates in a longer impulse. During the setting movement of the sender, the handle 12 closes a contact 15 so as to shortcircuit the contact 13, 14. Assuming that a calling line 10 has been connected through non- numerical switches 28, 29 to a connecting-circuit 30, and that sequence switches associated therewith have closed contacts 31 ... 34, the line relay 26 is energized over the calling line, and energizes the left-hand winding of the clutch magnet 42 of the hundreds register. The register is thus rotated until, in an intermediate position, the contact 39 is closed, when the windings of the clutch magnet neutralize each other, and the register is arrested in this intermediate position, where it remains until the line relay 26 is de-energized by the first selecting - impulse, when the magnet 42 is energized over its right-hand winding and rotates the register until the contact 39 is opened, the register then occupying its first stopping position. This process is repeated each time the relay 26 is energized and de-energized. At the final interruption of the line circuit, the relay 26 is de-energized long enough to energize a slow-acting relay 25, which moves the sequence switch 24 from its fourth to its sixth position, thus substituting the register 22 for the register 21. The operation of the tens and units registers 22, 23 is similar to that of the hundreds register. The method of controlling selectors &c. in which short interruptions of the line circuit are followed by a single prolonged interruption forms the subject of Specification 16,267/13.
