The wall C is provided with an aperture, having the optical axis as centre, for the passage of the rays. The outside flange b<5> of the bush is milled, and about two-thirds of its circumference is exposed. When a sighting- mark is on the optical axis, one of the marks b<3> on the bush registers with the pointer c<2> on the casing, and the locking-pin h<1> springs into a detent b<1> in the bush.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Gases for the Extraction of Ammonia therefrom.
Inventor: FELD WALTHER
Filed: 1906-08-17
Granted: 1907-08-01
Abstract: 18,505. Feld, W. Aug 17. Purifying gas.-In the process for removing ammonia from gases, such as coal-gas and the like, by passing the gas through a solution of a salt of magnesium, a salt is added which prevents the precipitate of the salt of magnesium produced from becoming too thick. Suitable salts are the salts of the alkalies, alkaline earths, or ammonia, such as the chlorides and sulphates of sodium, potassium, or ammonium. It is also stated that it is convenient to use a salt of the same acid as the magnesium salt. As an example, the gases are passed through a solution of magnesium chloride to which ammonium chloride has been added for the above specified purpose. After nearly the whole of the magnesium chloride has been decomposed, the liquid is run into the distilling-apparatus. Carbonic acid, absorbed from the gases, distils first, ammonia being given off as the temperature rises. Specification No. 11,206, A.D. 1905, is referred to.

Abstract: 22,206. Maw, P. T. Oct. 8. Grabs.-Lifting forks or shovels for handling hay, straw, sand, &c. are constructed of two series of prongs a pivoted upon the lower ends of two supporting - frames d, which are themselves hinged on a common pin e. The frames d are extended upwards, the hoisting-rope m being fastened to one of them and passed round a pulley on the other, as shown in Fig. 1. The outer ends of the tines are connected by links f to a sliding crosshead g, Fig. 4, having projections to engage the pivoted levers g<1>, the lower ends of which are connected by a rope l. When the detents g<1> are in engagement with the cross-head g, as shown in Fig. 1, and the lifting-rope m is hauled, the tines are closed together so as to engage a load, which is subsequently lifted. The load is discharged by pulling the rope l, thereby releasing the cross-head g and allowing the tines to turn about their pivots c into a vertical position. When the apparatus is used for sand &c., the tines are covered or replaced by sheet metal. The lifting-rope may be passed over a pulley supported on a pole or series of poles, and may be hauled by a horse.
