Title: Improvements in the control of electrically propelled vehicles
IPC: H02P1/02
Filed: 1931-02-18
Abstract: 376,800. Drum controllers. SACHSENWERK LICHT-UND-KRAFT-AKT.-GES., Niedersedlitz, Dresden, Germany. Feb. 18, 1931, No. 5154. Convention date, March 13, 1930. [Class 38 (iii).] Separate running and braking controllers are used for controlling an electrically propelled vehicle, each controller being operable through a complete revolution by a smaller angular movement of its actuating handle or pedal. Thus fine subdivision of resistance is obtained and smooth acceleration and braking is further assured by providing the running controller with retaining devices only at its normal running position. The running controller can be returned to its "off" position by a spring and can be arranged so that initial depression of the brake pedal causes automatic return of the running controller to its "off" position. Both controllers can be located at the centre of the vehicle remote from the driver's position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the determination of the ash content of coal
Inventor: RHODES JOHN RATHBONE
IPC: G01N23/203
Filed: 1962-02-12
Abstract: 965,303. X-ray determination of coal ash content. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. Jan. 31, 1963 [Feb. 12, 1962], No. 5223/62. Heading G1A. The ash content of coal is determined by passing X-rays of energy 7. 11 keV to 20 keV into a sample of coal of thickness sufficient to cause saturation backscattering and measuring the backscattered radiation through a filter of thickness such that backscatter intensity variations due to changes in iron content of the ash are largely overcome. Bremsstrahlung from a tritium/zirconium source 7 irradiates a coal sample 10 through a 0. 01 inch beryllium window and the backscattered X-rays pass through an aluminium filter 5 and 0.02 inch beryllium window 2 to a proportional counter 3. It is shown in the Specification that for maximum sensitivity the source energy should be between 10 and 20 keV and that for most efficient removal of fluorescent FeK X-rays the thickness of filter 5 should be chosen, with regard to the expected ash content and the geometry of the apparatus, within the range 0.003 to 0.004 inch. The method may be used to control known grading apparatus for a stream of coal.

Title: Improvements in vacuum brakes for vehicles
IPC: B60T13/24
Filed: 1925-02-26
Abstract: 241,154. Dewandre, A. Oct. 7, 1924, [Convention date]. Addition to 226,670. Fluid-pressure.-In vacuum brakes for vehicles of the kind described in the parent Specification, the vacuum in the brake reacts through a second piston on the operating-pedal, so that the driver receives an indication of the force applied to the brakes. The brake pedal 44 actuates a distributor, which connects the brake cylinder 3 through a pipe 2 to the induction pipe of the engine, by means of an arm 55 and rod 48, and is connected by a rod 59 to a piston 60 located in an extension of the brake cylinder. When the pedal is depressed to apply the brakes, the piston 4 operates the brakes through the rod 56, lever 57, and cable 5, and the suction on the piston 60 reacts on the pedal. The lever 55 is mounted on the lever 57. so that the movement of the letter will reclose the distributor unless the pedal is further depressed. The brakes may therefore be applied gradually. As shown in the Figure, the brake pedal works in a recess in the rod 56, so that the brakes may also be applied by foot pressure if the pedal moves to the end of the recess. Specification 232,738 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in duplicating machines
IPC: B41L7/08
Filed: 1943-04-03
Abstract: 565,759. Moistening devices for duplicating machines. FORD, F.- R. April 3, 1943, No. 5364. [Class 95] In a duplicating machine of the type in which a copy sheet and a master sheet bearing in reverse script the matter to be reproduced, are passed in pressure contact between a cylinder which carries the master sheet and a pressure roller and in which the copy sheet is moistened, before being brought into contact with the master sheet, by a device in which a feeding wick is supported on an operating member adapted to be moved towards and away from the moistening pad, the operating member is so arranged that the wick is normally in contact with the moistening pad but is automatically moved away therefrom at the end of each operative cycle of the machine. The feed wick 23 is attached to a wire loop 37 projecting from an operating bar 38, which is urged towards the moistening pad 21 by a spring 44. A plate 50, secured to the lever 49, causes the crank arms 47, on a shaft 48, to rock the bar 38 away from the moistening pad 21 whenever the lever 26 is raised by the cam 30. This movement may also be produced by a hand-operated lever which forces the pin 54 to move downwards. Fig. 6 shows the application of this arrangement to a cylinder 62 in which is cut a groove 85. When the roller 92 drops as the grooved portion 85 of the cylinder 62 comes into position below it, the lever 99, attached to the roller 92, moves backwards, rocking an eccentric supporting the wick 23, and so breaking contact between wick 23 and pad 21. This broken contact may be restored when the machine is at rest by drawing the lever 99 forwards by means of the handoperated cam 114. Specification 545,562, [Group XVI], is referred to.
