Abstract: 5073. Ístreicher, A. S. March 8. Condensers; exhaust, freeing from grease.-Relates to evaporative surface condensers such as are used in connection with steam engines, refrigerators, and the like. The objects are (1) to separate the grease contained in the exhaust steam to be condensed in order that it may not collect on the metallic surfaces and thereby prevent transmission of heat, and (2) to provide the smallest possible quantity of circulating water in order that the water films may be as thin as possible. In the Figure, the circulating-pump E is shown drawing its supply from the collecting-tank n and delivering a small constant supply to the perforated pipe f surmounting the condenser B and also to the intermittent supply tank G. By the intermittent supply accumulations are washed from the pipes and thorough wetting thereof is ensured. The oil separator is at A.

Title: Improvements in Coin-freed Apparatus for Exhibiting Transparent Photographic Views and the like.
Inventor: FAURE CHARLES
Filed: 1899-05-31
Granted: 1899-10-14
Abstract: 11,360. Faure, C., and DufossÚe, M. May 31. Stereoscopes, coin-freed. The pictures are set in wire frames a, which extend from laths b connected by links so as to form an endless band. This band is operated so as to change the picture by means of the intermittent quarter revolutions of a wheel g, which bears four pins h and is subject to the ratchet action of a hand-lever k pivoted at l, and a hook i. A cradle containing speed gear ending in a fly and loosely pivoted on the shaft of the pin-wheel is thrown up at each change of picture and sinks slowly by its own weight. During displacement from its normal position an electric light is in circuit through contacts 15, 17. The coin dropping into a pan v at one end of a counterweighted detent s disengages it from a notch in a flange on a wheel geared to the pinwheel. This wheel makes a revolution while the endless band completes its circuit, and the detent then re-engages. A lug 23 on the wheel depresses the coin lever enough to allow the coin to roll out.
