Abstract: 14,555. Dollman, H. June 21. Piling; welding.-A process of forming tubes from rolled hollow blooms consists in rolling the hot blooms A, B to a semi-polygonal or other section with rounded corners, as shown in Fig. 1, and then machining the joining-surfaces a, b to remove the scale. These surfaces may lie in the middle of a face of the polygon at a corner, and, after being machined, are placed together in a furnace, the bottom C of which is grooved to hold the tube. The tube is then transferred to a die D, which has a groove with vertical sides to support the tube, and a top die E descends and completes the weld. In large tubes a central mandrel F is employed to prevent deformation, a suitable flux being also employed in the welding.

Abstract: 16,754. Little, W. P., and Walker, C. July 13. Working-fluid supply.-Relates to working- fluid supply arrangements in a gas turbine of the outward-flow type, and to variable-speed and reversing gearing where two oppositely rotating wheels are employed. Fig. 2 shows a rotor a having blades g co-operating with blades c on the stationary casing d. The casing may be water-jacketed. The hub in which the explosions take place is cooled by a water-jacket r, and the rotor is cooled by fan blades m formed upon it so as to draw air in at n and discharge it into the exhaust channel p. A thrust bearing k is provided. The turbine shaft b drives a shaft 4 through worm gearing, and this shaft drives a magneto by a chain, and a waterjacketed reciprocating air - compressor by a crank-disk and a connecting-rod. The compressed air for the explosion chamber may however be supplied by a rotary compressor or by the fan blades m on the rotor a. The carburetting and explosion arrangements are shown in Fig. 7 and are of the kind described in Specification 3230/10, [Class 7(iii), Internalcombustion engines, Carburetting - apparatus &c. for]. The pipe 36 connects the device with the air-compressor, 12 being the suction valve and 38 the delivery pipe. The air, on being forced into the carburettor w, moves the piston valve 17 against a spring 19, and so causes a ram 22 to force petrol or other fuel in a pipe 24 past a non-return valve 26. A sparking-plug 42 is provided to fire the mixture. The explosion chamber opens into a channel u, Fig. 2, and the gases open an annular or other valve v against the action of a spring y, and pass into the turbine. The ram 22 may suck petrol into the pipe 24 on its return stroke. Suitable non-return valves 13, 25 are provided, and a stop-valve 14 is also fitted. A pipe 33, closed by a non-return valve 35, connects the air-compressor with a reservoir in which air is stored for use in starting the turbine. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, two oppositelyrunning rotors are employed; and their concentric shafts have worms 56, 59 respectively driving worms 57, 60 on shafts 58, 61. Gearwheels 66, 67 are keyed to the shaft 58; gearwheels 80, 81 are keyed to an intermediate shaft 79, and gear-wheels 74, 75, 76 are provided loose on the shaft 61, the first wheel 74 being secured to the worm-wheel 60, which is also loose on this shaft. The shaft 61 from which the power is taken, may be moved axially by a lever 72 so that, by means of feathers upon it, one or other of the wheels 74, 75, 76 may be secured to it according to the position of the lever. The two turbine shafts are always geared together by the wheels 66, 80, 74, and two speeds forward are obtained by securing the shaft 61 to one or other of the wheels 74, 76, and a reverse speed is obtained when it is secured to the wheel 76.

Abstract: 16,906. Thomas, B., Thomas, E., and Holme, E. M. July 24. Regulating and control-transmitting gear for winding and paying-out apparatus.-Relates to electrically-driven winding-apparatus of the free-barrel type, and comprises interlocking means between the controller and brake-operating lever and the clutch-operating lever, such that, when the latter lever is moved in one position, the former lever can be moved in one direction only from the ' stop ' position, and when moved in the opposite direction, the controller and brake lever can only be moved in the other direction. The lever 1 is connected by a slotted link 7 to the controller 6, and an arm 8 of the lever is connected by a slotted link 11 to the brake lever 9, which is normally applied by a weight 13. The lever 3 is adapted to throw the clutch indirectly by making the circuit of a solenoid 15. An arm 4 of this lever has a projection which lies in the inner gap of the interlocking quadrant 2 when the lever 1 is in the ' off ' position. The brake may be released bv a solenoid 12 in the controller circuit. To raise the load, the lever 3 is moved to the right bv hand or by a pedal, making the circuit of the clutch solenoid. The projection at the end of the arm 4 is thus raised, and the lever 1 can be moved to the right to operate the controller and take off the brake. To stop, the lever 1 must first be moved into the position illustrated, whereupon the clutch lever is moved back to its zero position by the spring 21, and the controller by its spring 25. To lower, the lever 1 is moved to the left, the link 11 releasing the brake. The controller remains idle in this movement, and the clutch cannot be operated.
