Abstract: 19,366. Hitch, W. B. Sept. 4. Cables.-The self-induction of an electric cable is increased to a suitable amount by separating and surrounding the conductors forming the outgoing and return circuits by a screen of magnetizable metal, the conductors and the separating-screen being twisted into a spiral. In one arrangement, the two conductors a, b, Figs. 1 and 2, are separated by a flat iron strip c, and are enclosed by a wrapping d of soft-iron tape or wire forming a tube which is in contact with the strip c, or the strip c may have its edges bent over the conductors a, b in the form of a figure of eight in cross-section, to enclose and separate the conductors, as shown in Fig. 4, the wrapping d being dispensed with. The conductors and the built-up cable are insulated by suitable materials, and a lead armouring f may be applied to the cable. Each conductor may consist of one or several wires, and two or more cables of the above description may be assembled in one multiple cable, the magnetic screens being insulated, connected, or earthed. The magnetic screens also prevent induction in multiple cables consisting of single-wire circuits with earth or common returns. Cables of the above character may be used for telephonic or telegraphic purposes, or for the transmission of alternating currents. The screen and conductors may, according to the Provisional Specification, be twisted either in a right or left hand direction, or partly in one direction and partly in the other.

Abstract: 8535. Arnold, J. W. April 15. Piling.-Relates to a process of, and apparatus for, producing iron and steel bars from scrap iron, swarf, and borings. The materials are weighed in the receptacle B having a counterweighted bottom, which is opened at the same time that a charging- door on the top of a balling-furnace is opened by the hand-lever D. The charge is heated, balled, and placed so that the furnace gases, cooled by the next fresh charge, will pass over it and reduce it to a temperature suitable for rolling. The ball is then removed, squeezed, and rolled in muck rolls into bars, which are taken by driven rollers H to a scale operated by a hand-lever h. Here the bar is lifted off the rollers, weighed, and lowered on to the rollers again for delivering to shears J. From them, the cut-up bars are delivered by a conveyer to an automatically-closing door in the roof of a reheating-furnace R, and then are taken by rollers N to the finishing-rolls. The hearth underneath the charging-door, in both furnaces mentioned above, is formed of hard material F<1> to resist impact, while the remainder may be of sand or loose material F.
