Patent GB-191229359-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Telephone Systems.
Filed: 1912-12-20
Granted: 1913-12-22
Abstract: 29,359. Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Co., [Automatic Electric Co.]. Dec. 20. Automatic exchange party-line systems.-A conneotor serving party-lines is multipled to terminals in several different levels of the selector banks, and is provided with means for selecting different frequencies of ringing-current according to the level through which the connexion has been made. The subscribers on a given line are therefore distinguished by different hundreds digits. In the example shown in the Figure, line-terminals in four different levels of the selector banks are supposed to be multipled to the trunk wires 26, 27 of the connector H, but the test-terminals in the different levels, instead of being multipled together, are connected by separate wires to relays 28, 29, 30, 31, controlling ringing-generators R', R<2>, R<3>, R<4>. Thus, when the connector H is seized over, say, the third level of a selector, the third relay 30 is energized and connects the third generator R<3> to the spring 34 of the ringing-relay 22, with the result that the third subscriber on the selected line is eventually rung up. In a modified arrangement, the relays 28, 29 &c. are connected to the lower line-terminals in the different levels of the selector banks instead of to the test-terminals as in Fig. 2. In this case the current for the calling subscriber's microphone is supplied through the selected relay instead of through the lower winding of the line relay 17. The circuit arrangements described are in other respects the same as in Specifications 1419/10 and 1421/10. Specifications 26,301/06 and 29,654/10 are also referred to.

The invention consists in the provision of an additional shield a<5> at the forward end of the brush back projecting over the bristles or rearwardly from the back and formed with a hollow a<4> for the forefinger. The rearward extensions a<3> of the side grips shown in Fig. 2 may be dispensed with. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, the bristle plate b<1> is detachable in known manner from the back on which the grips are formed, and is held in position by the screwed adjustable rod c. In the form shown in Fig. 12, the grips at the sides and forward end of the back are formed on a continuous rim thereon.

Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 14,230. Raschig, F. Oct. 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Progressive evaporators; hydrocarbon oils and tars; distilling. - Tar, mineral oils, and other liquids are continuously distilled by passage through a series of stills I, II, maintained at the same temperature but at successively reduced pressures. The liquid on its way from the still I to the still II passes through a receptacle c, which is of considerable height, and is fitted with an overflow n, so that, in case of a failure of the vacuum in the still II, the still I will continue to work, the undistilled liquid being discharged through the pipe n. The liquid entering through the pipe a is preheated by heat-exchange with the residual liquid leaving the still II by the pipe l. In distilling tar in steam-heated stills maintained at atmospheric pressure and under high vacuum respectively, ammonia, benzene, toluene and water are removed in the first still, and naphthalene, carbolic oil and creosote oil in the second still. When more than two stills are used, reducing- valves are arranged to provide the requisite gradual reduction of pressure between the first and last stills.
