Patent GB-190515298-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Multiple Telegraphy.
Inventor: JONES STERNS FRANCIS
Filed: 1905-07-25
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 15,298. Jones, S. F. July 25. Telegraphs.-In a telegraph line two terminal stations can exchange signals by use of " duplex " and strength and polarity " methods so that two distinct sets of signals may be sent each way, and at the same time two intermediate stations can simultaneously exchange signals by use of rapidly alternating currents and the duplex method. Instead of a telephone diaphragm, a relay of special construction is described for use at these intermediate stations. The main line m is shown in the Figure with two terminal stations a and intermediate stations b. Station a is provided with an artificial line x electrically similar to the rest of the main line, with a central relay n, affected by variations in current strength, and a polarized relay p. The transmitting-apparatus consists of a polechanging device t and a current-strength changing device v. This latter introduces into the main line a resistance 4 and connects a leakage branch to earth through resistance 5. Continuous current alone is employed at the stations a, the receiving- relays of which are unaffected by a rapidly alternating current. The intermediate stations bare duplexed by the artificial line 14, connected to earth through the condenser 15. A rapidly alternating current from one station b will affect the relay P through the induction coils 11, 9. The transmitting-apparatus consists of a high-frequency generator 30, induction coils 40, 41, 42, and a Morse tapping key 50. Normally, current flows through both the coils 41,42, which have equal and opposite effects on the main line coil 40. When the key 50 is pressed down, the current flows only through the coil 41, so that an inductive effect is produced on the coil 40. Each elemental signal consists of a group of alternations. The relay P is of the ordinary form of polarized relay but without magnetic bias. The armature 18 when no impulses are present closes the local circuit of the sounder 16. But under the influence of rapidly alternating impulses it takes up a central position between its stops, leaving the local circuit open.

Patent GB-190518694-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Type-printing Telegraph Transmitters.
Inventor: HIGGINS FREDERICK HERBERT WILL
Filed: 1905-09-15
Granted: 1906-09-06
Abstract: 18,694. Higgins, F. H. W. Sept. 15. Telegraphs.-Relates to improvements in step-by-step type-printing telegraph transmitters of the character described in Specification No. 12,215, A.D.1884. The apparatus is especially adapted to work in conjunction with the automatic tape transmitting- devices described in Specification No. 28,268, A.D. 1904. Fig. 2 shows the apparatus in part-sectional plan. Brushes p co-operate with a contactwheel o on the shaft f to send intermittent currents to line, these currents serving to control a step-by-step typewheel at the receiving-station. The shaft f is driven from a power-driven shaft a, a positive drive being effected through the medium of the ratchetwheel d and pawl n so long as the pawl is in engagement with the wheel, and a friction drive being also provided through the disk j. When the sleeve m is arrested at some point in its revolution depending on the character to be printed, the pawl n is lifted from engagement with the wheel d. The shaft f driven frictionally, and carrying the contact-wheel o, moves on, before coming to rest, through a distance sufficient to close the contacts 19, 20, which are respectively connected to the slip rings and brushes 26, 21 and 27, 28. The circuit thus closed includes the printing-magnet at the receiving-station, which presses the paper strip against the type-wheel. It may also include a more slowly-acting magnet at the transmitting station, which feeds forward the transmitting-strip through one step. The sleeve m is arrested in the required position in the following way :-The sleeve m is connected to a sleeve r by rods s, the sleeve r carrying three contact-brushes 12, 13, 14 and three corresponding slip rings 15, 16, 17. From the sleeve m also extend rods x on which slide disks t, u integrally connected with detents v, w adapted to engage with the teeth of a fixed crown-wheel 9. The detents are controlled by electro-magnets 1, 2, either of which, if energized, serves to arrest the sleeve m. The contact-brushes 12, 13 are in the same plane, and make contact alternately with low and elevated contact-blocks 10. The brush 12 is associated with the electro-magnet 2, and the brush 13 with the electro-magnet 1. The brush 14 moves over a series of five contactsegments of different lengths, and the wiring is such that, when the automatic or keyboard transmitter connects together a certain combination of two of the nine terminals of the apparatus, the circuit of one of the electro-magnets 1, 2 will be closed when the brushes 14, 12 (or 13) are in some particular diametral position, the typewheel at the receiving-station being then in the necessary position to give the impression from the selected type. Alternating instead of intermittent line currents may be used.

Abstract: 23,486. Snell, E. S. Nov. 15. Instantaneous generators f e e d - water, supplying.- Means are provided for feeding the generator slowly and for allowing a quick return of the water when the steam pressure becomes excessive. The generator consists of two concentric shells a, b closed at their upper ends and welded together at their lower ends. The gases from a burner 4 pass upwards through a third concentric shell e before coming in contact with the heating surface. The feed under pressure from a main 1 passes through a hand-operated valve v and thence through a restricted orifice r, Fig. 2, with an adjustable stop s, to the boiler. The by-pass n, containing the check-valve t, is much larger in sectional area than the orifice r, to allow the quick return of the water. The valve v also controls the fuel supply to the burner 4. To prevent flooding of the generator when starting, a time element, consisting of a vessel w, is fitted in the feed pipe c. This vessel is of sufficient capacity to allow a certain time to elapse before the water enters the generator. A pipe x, connected with the by-pass n, allows the vessel to empty when the fuel supply is cut off.

Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Distilling Coals and other Hydrocarbonaceous Substances.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1906-01-11
Granted: 1906-12-06
Abstract: 753. Thompson, W. P., [Wurts, H.]. Jan. 11. Distillation, destructive; gas manufacture, materials for.-Substances containing hydrocarbons, such as cannel coal, lignite, and shale, are destructively distilled by dividing the charge into small bodies confined in an air-tight chamber through which the products of combustion from a contiguous furnace are passed, the furnace serving also to heat the chamber. The temperature is kept below red heat so that the initial products, such as vapours of heavy oils, paraffin, waxes, naphthas, phenols, and, according to the Provisional Specification, cresols, are not decomposed and there is no formation of gaseous products such as naphthalene and benzol. The operation is of short duration, and large amounts of good coke are produced. The coal is supported on trays 37 in a casing C placed in a chamber B which communicates through openings 22 and channels L with furnaces 1, 1. Fuel is supplied to the furnaces from magazines H closed by water seals 20 supplied with water by a pipe w. Passages 27, having dampers 41<a> lead to a chimney, and ashpits 11 are provided. The chamber B is closed at the end by a luted door V, secured by clamps, and is closed at the top by plates 21, 24, valves 26 being provided to regulate the flow of the furnace gases through the chamber. The casing C consists of side and rear walls and is closed at the front during the operation by a flanged plate 39 secured by bolts passing through the flanges and received in inclined slots in the walls. The casing C may be removed from the chamber B by means of tackle 44<a> arranged to travel on a girder 42. The casing is provided with rods 35 engaged by hooks 31 which pass through a slot 28 in the plates 21, 24, the slot being covered by a plate 30. The trays 37 are supported on brackets 36 on the casing to leave spaces 38 at the end so that the furnace gases pass in a zigzag manner. The chamber B opens into a chamber E communicating through a pipe 14 with a fan E<1> and condensers. In operation, the trays are filled with fragments of coal &c. and slid into the casing C, and, when the plate 39 has been attached, the casing is carried into the chamber B by the tackle. The furnace is started, and, when the temperature reaches say 650‹ F., the dampers are closed and the fan E<1> started. Air is drawn through the furnaces, and the products of combustion pass through the casing C. The temperature is regulated between 650‹ F. and 800‹ F. by means of the valves 26 and exhauster E<1>. The Provisional Specification also states that instead of products of combustion, neutral gases heated by external fires may be led into the chamber and that the coke approximates to charcoal in its properties and is suitable for making water gas or as a medium for taking up hydrocarbons in making water gas.
