Abstract: 804,547. Prompting devices. OPPENHEIMER, J. Oct. 12, 1955 [Oct. 14, 1954], No. 29023/55. Class 132(1) [Also in Group XX] In visual prompting apparatus which is attachable to a camera so that the performer views his script while looking in the direction of the lens, the script is magnified by a magnifying optical system. As shown, an image is projected on to a ground glass screen. 37 and viewed by reflection in the partially reflecting mirror 23 inclined at 45 degrees to the camera axis. The mirror 23 may be uncoated but a 60 per cent transmitting and 40 per cent reflecting coating is preferably applied to its front surface and the rear surface has an anti-reflection coating. The optical-projection system includes lamp 27, reflector 28, condenser system 29, 30, 31, heat filter 32, projection lens sytem 33 and spool magazine 26. Perforated film 44 is continuously 'driven by variable speed D.C. motor 36. The spool magazine 26 (Fig. 10) is readily removed and the firm drive to the magazine is through hemispherical spring-loaded pins 72, 85 and 86 (Fig. 8) engaging openings 89, 88 and 90 in knobs 82, 80, and 84. The pins are driven by sprockets 67, 69 and 70 and chain 64 from motor 36. The speeds of the film drive motors 36, arc lamps 44 and projection lamps 27 of a number of prompters may be simultaneously and remotely controlled from a single control panel in which a master copy of the script is moved past a window at the same rate as duplicate copies are moved past the exposure gate in the projectors. The motors 36 of the projectors may all be connected in parallel with the motor moving the master copy on, a servomechanism can be employed to ensure that the scripts move in synchronism. Alternatively or additionally, the prompters may be under the control of the performer. The motors can be operated forward or in reverse in two speed ranges. The duplicate copies of the script may be typed or written with ink on cellulose acetate, polyvinyl chloride film or translucent paper. They may be typed with ordinary typewriter ribbon or through soft carbon paper on to cellulose acetate film and smudging prevented by spraying with quick drying lacquer. Alternatively, a photographic film may be exposed to light through a master copy and subsequently developed. Copies may also be formed by the removal of carbon from carbon coated paper or film. In another form of prompter (Fig. 5, not shown) the projector is located vertically above screen 37.

Title: Improvements in or relating to voltage comparison circuits
Inventor: WIDDICKS JON ANTHONY
IPC: G01R19/10
Filed: 1960-08-26
Abstract: 953,702. Voltage comparison circuits; photoelectric measuring devices. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. Aug. 17, 1961 [Aug. 26, 1960], No. 29562/60. Headings G1A and G1U. A unit for the comparison of an unknown voltage with a reference voltage comprises a light source, the luminous output of which provides a measure of the voltage applied to it, a photo transistor responsive to the luminous output, for converting that output into electric current, means for measuring and indicating the said current, and two input terminals and a switch for selecting one of the terminals to apply the voltage at that terminal to the light source. One of the terminals is fed from a circuit arranged to provide an adjustable D.C. voltage, whose value is determined by a potentionieter circuit containing a reference voltage source, and the other terminal is connected in use to the source of the unknown voltage. A low power electric lamp bulb 2 which is connected across the voltage input is enclosed in a light tight box 1. A photo-transistor TX1 is secured to the envelope of the bulb, and connections are made from it so that it forms part of a linear amplifier in one arm of a bridge circuit. A meter M1 is connected across the bridge in such a way as to measure small changes in collector current, the static collector voltage being balanced by a potentiometer P2. A D.C, supply source 5, against which the A.C. input 3 is to be compared, may be switched through the switch S1 to energize the lamp 2, and the voltage of this source is determined using a conventional precision potentiometer P3. It is generally required to set up a driving oscillator to produce an A.C. output voltage of a given r.m.s. value, so the potentiometer P1 is adjusted to give the necessary reading on P3, with the D.C. supply connected into the circuit, and then the position of S1 is changed to connect the oscillator into the measuring circuit and the oscillator output is adjusted to give the same reading on the meter M1. The method is only accurate for A.C. frequencies greater than 2 kc./s.
