Title: Improvements in and relating to the Regulation of the Voltage of Alternating Current Machines.
Inventor: PARSONS CHARLES ALGERNON
IPC: H02K19/30
Filed: 1909-10-20
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 24,127. Parsons, C. A., and Law, A. H. Oct. 20. Transformers; regulating transformers.-For the purpose of regulating the voltage of alternating-current dynamos, a synchronously rotating inductor b, Fig. 1, is adapted to vary the reluctance of the magnetic circuit of a transformer of which the secondary winding d supplies current to the alternator and the primary winding e is excited by the alternator current. By suitably positioning the inductor b on its shaft, the reluctance of the magnetic circuit may be made greater for inductive than for non- inductive loads at the moment when the current in the primary winding is a maximum. The action of the inductor may be increased by inserting iron shunting paths which allow a considerable number of lines of force to leak back without acting on the secondary windings d when the magnet circuit is interrupted. These shunting-paths may be rotated synchronously with the inductor b to cause greater leakage when the power factor is unity than when the current is lagging. In a modification, the inductor b, Fig. 7, carries a winding p, which may be the whole or part of the primary or secondary winding. Both the primary and secondary windings may be partly or wholly on the inductor b. The part of the winding on the inductor mav be wound either to assist or to oppose the remainder of the winding. Fig. 4 shows a three-phase transformer provided with a synchronously rotating inductor f.

Granted: 1912-06-13
Abstract: 17,157. Girod, F. Aug. 13, 1910, [Convention date]. Sulphur dioxide.-Burner gases for the manufacture of sulphuric acid free from arsenic and iron are subjected, immediately after mechanical purification, and while still hot, to the action of nitrous vitriol, thereby completely oxidizing the arsenious acid, which is removed in washing-towers before passing the gases into the lead chambers. The nitrous vitriol, to which nitric acid may have been added, is denitrated in the process, and several denitration towers may be used. The washing-towers are fed with the liquid condensed in the concentration of sulphuric acid, or with any weak acid in a finely-divided condition, and the acid obtained, which is contaminated with arsenic, is fed to the last denitrating-tower. The filter for the hot gases is filled with stone-like material capable of withstanding the heat, and the gas is arranged to pass in a lateral and upward direction. For example, the hot gas is fed into the compartment a of a chamber divided by a partition b, the other compartment c being filled with the filtering-material. The gases pass through this from below upwards, and the contaminated material is withdrawn at the bottom, cleansed, and returned to the top of the chamber.

Abstract: 21,861. Boult, A. J., [Burroughs Adding Machine Co.]. Oct. 4. Adding-apparatus; distinguishing-marks.-In a machine of the Burroughs type, as described in Specifications 17,126/93 and 6114/08, means are provided whereby, upon a complete rotation of the numeral wheel of highest denomination, a special type carrier is released, so that at the succeeding operation of the machine a special sign is printed on the left of the item recorded to enable the operator to determine to what extent the capacity of the machine has been exceeded. A special type-carrier A is mounted on the rock-shaft 600 and is under the control of a spring a and a pin b upon the highest ordinary type-carrier. A special type-plate 618<a> thereon is adapted to be struck against the platen by the usual hammers 715 which are released by the pawls 718. The type-carrier A is normally withheld from the printing position by a pin a<3> engaging the hooked end of a member D which is mounted on a shaft C<2> connected by an arm and link C with a latch 411". When the numeral wheel 916 of highest denomination has completed a rotation, a cam thereon trips a pawl 413<a> which releases the latch 411<a> and thereby shifts the member D to allow the type-carrier A to assume the printing position when the main handle is operated. The pawl 413<a> is restored along with the other pawls of the numeral wheels by means of a bail 904 when the handle is nearing the end of its forward stroke.
