Patent GB-191211120-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Processes for Obtaining Impressions in Ink or Colour from Photographic Films.
Inventor: LUCAS EDWARD GEORGE HANDEL
IPC: G03F7/06
Filed: 1912-05-10
Granted: 1913-08-11
Abstract: 11,120. Lucas, E. G. H. May 10. Printing processes. - A printing plate or surface for machine or hand printing is made from an ordinary gelatino-bromide photograph upon a celluloid or similar support. In a modified process, the pellicle film of an ordinary gelatino-bromide photograph is employed. The process of treatment is applicable to colourprinting with or without a black-and-white key plate made from a negative taken on a panchromatic plate. The preliminary preparation of the photograph is similar to the preparation of a photograph for similar purposes which is described in Specifications 27,957/08 and 18,965/11, and the Bromoil process is used to eliminate the silver and produce relief. The relief film is treated with a salt bath and then in a bath containing glycerine, ox gall, and water, or other bath used for collotype printing. The film is then treated in a final hardening- bath of zinc chloride, and dried. These baths are from time to time repeated to maintain the film in a damp condition. The fine grain of the film can be modified by treatment, preliminary to the Bromoil treament, with a weak hydrochloric acid bath. The photograph may be mounted upon a flat or cylindrical printing-bed. When necessary, the back of the celluloid film is previously coated with white paint, or the film when wet is placed upon highly-glazed white-surface paper which will readily adhere to the substance upon the back of the celluloid so that all printing operations may be accurately observed. Alternatively, the white paper or paint is fixed or painted on the drum of the cylinder before the film is applied. In the case of small films, an additional backing is applied between the film and the cylinder, and a clamping-plate is applied to depress the margins of the film and leave the printing position slightly raised. A similar clamping-plate is used when the film is employed in a hand press to clamp the edges of the film over the sides of a base slightly smaller than the film. The film with a white paper backing may also be placed back down upon the pads with the registration frame attached, as described in Specification 18,965/11.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrical Distribution Systems.
IPC: H02H7/26
Filed: 1912-07-22
Granted: 1913-08-22
Abstract: 6807. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Wedmore, E. B. July 22, 1912. Protective arrangements.-Relates to the protection of parallel-feeder alternating-current distribution systems by means of circuit-breakers controlled by balanced - arm relays, the oppositely-acting windings of which are energized from corresponding feeders. According to the invention, the relays are rendered operative in a discriminating manner only on faults to earth, by connecting each winding b, Fig. 1, of the relay in the common return circuit of a number of series transformers a which are so inserted in each phase of a feeder that the sum of the currents in the transformers will be zero unless there is a leakage to earth from the feeder. The relay contacts e, f normally short-circuit the trip coils g, and when the relay operates to remove the short-circuit, the trip coils g are energized by the current in the relay windings. In a modification, Fig. 2, each side of the relay is provided with a normally-open contact h in addition to the normally-closed contacts c, f. When the relay comes into operation the contact h connects the trip coil j in shunt with the short-circuit, the short-circuit being afterwards removed when the contacts e, f on the other side open. A time characteristic may be given by a low-resistance fuse i shunted across the trip coil j. Instead of an open connexion between the points c, h, a resistance connecting these points may be employed. An arrangement for protecting three or more feeders is shown in Fig. 3, in which t, t are the series transformers on each feeder, u, v are the oppositely-acting coils of each relay, x is an equalizing-wire for connecting the common points of the relay windings, and w are auxiliary switches which are closed when the circuit-breakers are closed in order to establish the equalizing-connexion. Specification 11,979/08 is referred to. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 25,219/04, 25,220/04, and 27,211/04.
