Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 5336. Bacon, R. H. S., and Shepherd, F. W. H. March 2. [Cognate Application, 8443/12.] Reels and reel carriages. -Relates to the supply of electric or other power to machines carried by revolving structures, such as gun mountings, and consists in the various devices described below for disposing of the slack in the cables or pipes in order to minimize ' twisting ' thereof. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a fixed flat-bottomed cylinder b is arranged beneath, and co-axial with, the rotating structure. The cables or pipes c are brought into the cylinder through a cowl b<1> and are attached by clips d to a spiral spring e, the ends of which are fixed to the cowl b<1> and to an outlet cowl a<1> attached to the revolving structure. Movement of the revolving structure therefore causes the coils to expand or contract. Springs f on the clips d prevent one coil from rubbing against the next. If the bottom of the cylinder is conical, the spring c is not required. Where the revolving structure has a central downwardly-extending trunk, the cables or pipes are normally coiled partly upon the trunk and partly upon a cylinder, which surrounds the trunk and is so geared thereto that rotation of the trunk produces an opposite rotation of the cylinder. Motion of the revolving structure therefore winds and unwinds the pipes or cables from one rotary part on to the other. In a further construction, the rotary trunk has an external conical shelf on which the cables or pipes are spirally coiled, being fixed at their inner ends to the trunk and at their outer ends to the fixed structure.

Abstract: 28,546. McEwan, D. Dec. 11. Maps and charts.-An appliance for use in teaching astronomy, geography, or navigation comprises a framework adapted to carry or receive a series of combined astronomical and geographical charts showing parts of the earth's surface and the stars overhead at these parts for a particular time. The stars are represented on the charts by perforations x, Fig. 1, and the charts may be made of semi-transparent material to allow the geographical features to be more clearly seen. Since the observer is supposed to be standing at the centre of the earth, the geographical features are shown reversed. The chart shown in Fig. 1 is drawn for a person standing at the centre of the earth and looking through a point at 33¢ degrees north latitude. In use, the observer is supposed to be standing perpendicular to the position for which the chart is drawn, that is, at the centre of a plane k, and to be looking north. The line k thus represents his horizon, and stars and portions of the earth's surface below the line k are below the horizon. In order to give a more realistic appearance to the plane k, an ellipse k<1>, which may be coloured, may be drawn on the chart to give an idea of a plane in perspective. The charts may be arranged upon an endless band carried by rollers b, c, or may be inserted in one or other of the pockets p, o, Fig. 3, of a case consisting of a central plate l provided with a circular opening l<1> and plates m, n, of celluloid which may have lines of latitude and longitude thereon. In a modified case, two pockets are arranged one behind the other, so that either one chart may be used as described above, or two charts, one bearing a geographical map and the other a star map. may be inserted one behind the other.
