Abstract: 514,209. Controlling aircraft. WESTLAND AIRCRAFT, Ltd., RICHARDS, S. T. A., and DIGBY, F. J. W. W. April 4, 1938, No. 10287: [Class 4] - An aircraft having engines cooled by air passing through the wings has a flap for controlling the flow of the cooling air' operatively connected to .a lift-increasing device such as a flap or slot so that the position of the cooling-air flap is determined by the .position of the lift-increasing device. In one form, Fig. 2, the cooling air for the radiator passes through a channel formed in the wing, the channel having-its lower surface formed by the flap a and its upper surface by the cooling-air flap c. The flap c is hinged to the wing at d and carries trackways so that as the flap a moves outwards the roller g causes the flap c to take up successively the positions shown. in dotted lines 33-37. The trackway carries a roller i which, when the flap a is closed, engages a bracket j, and thus relatively locks the flaps -in their closed positions. Other mechanisms shown for carrying ,the invention into effect include links and pivoted levers, toothed gearing, and flexible cables, and in some cases the flap is interconnected to a slot at the leading. edge of the wing. Controls such as are disclosed in Specification 375,115, [Group XXV], or 419,310 may be used. ,

Title: The manufacture of new petrol- and water-resisting greases
Filed: 1931-04-08
Abstract: Grease resistant to water and petrol, benzine, or other petroleum product is obtained by blending castor oil, aluminium ricinoleate, and an aluminium soap of another fatty acid.  For example, 60 lb. of castor oil, 20 lb. of aluminium ricinoleate, and 20 lb. of aluminium stearate are stirred together at 150 DEG  C.

Abstract: 1,169,812. A fuel cell electrode. SIEMENS A.G. and VARTA A.G. 6 March, 1967 [17 March, 1966], No. 10485/67. Heading H1B. A fuel cell gas-diffusion electrode comprises a porous electrochemically active material covering an area bounded by a frame of a sealing material and a porous and/or perforated metallic foil or mesh which underlies and is covered on both sides by the whole of the boundary frame and at least part of the active material. Preferably parts of the foil or mesh 11 project beyond the edge of the sealing frame 13 to provide heatexchange surfaces and/or lugs for electrical connections. Fuels may be removed and supplied through holes 14-17 in the boundary frames which are aligned in the assembled battery to form fuel ducts with grooves providing access to the central area where appropriate (see Fig. 1). The metallic support may be of annular form, lacking a central portion. The electrode active material also may be of annular form 42, in which case a secondary boundary frame 43 may be present bounding the inner edge and defining, in the assembled battery part of a central coolant channel 48 (see Fig. 4). The metallic support may be a mesh or grid or sintered plate, e.g. a lightly etched nickel mesh. The catalyst material may be applied from a roller or as a preformed disc or rectangular layer each side of the metal support and be hotpressed to affix it thereto. The boundary frame may be prepared from a thermoplastic or casting resin moulded or pressed on to the metallic support. In the example a circular piece of nickel mesh (diameter 60 mm.) is pressed between two discs formed in situ from doubleskeleton catalyst material (40 mm. diameter) then between two preformed polyethylene annuli (41 and 60 mm. diameters) and used as a hydrogen or oxygen electrode, the catalysts being a 2: 1 (w/w.) mixture of carbonyl nickel and 50/50 (wt. per cent) Al/Ni Raney nickel, leached with KOH, or a 2À5:1 mixture of carbonyl nickel and 35/65 Al/Ag Raney silver, leached with KOH, respectively.

[Class 106 (i).] Slide-rules for attachment to a desk or drawing-board comprise a pair of drums freely mounted on a common axis and provided with means whereby the drums can be interconnected and moved relatively by means of a differential gearing. The drums are provided with logarithmic scales on their peripheries the length of the scales equalling the circumference of the drums. Amongst other calculations the device is adapted to determine the square, cube, or other root of any quantity. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a body A with a plinth D and bracket E for supporting it on a desk or underside of a drawing-board has a boss G carrying a hollow spindle F on which is loosely mounted two drums H, J. The drum H is rotatable by a knob L on a spindle K which carries an eccentric O operating in a slot in a lever Q. When the spindle K is rotated the eccentric O forces a wedge on the lever Q into a groove T, Fig. 4, on the drum J whereby this drum may be rotated with the drum H. The drum H carries bearings for planetary gears a, band e, f on spindles with press knobs d and g. The gears a, e gear with a sun wheel V on the fixed spindle F. When one of the knobs d or g is pressed in the gears b or f mesh with a sun pinion c on the drum J. By this means a partial rotation is imparted to the drum J relatively to the rotations of the drum H, the ratio of the gearing being chosen in accordance with the order of the root of the quantity to be ascertained. A fixed cursor B is mounted in an extension C of the body A. A suitable stop is provided to determine the initial position of the drum H and springs m press on the body A to prevent drum J moving when the drum H is released therefrom and rotated alone. Compensation for any wear in the square root or cube root gears is effected by adjusting conical points screws q, Figs. 1, and 6, in slots p in the spindle F.

Title: Improvements in and connected with guy derricks

Filed: 1922-04-13
Abstract: 198,863. Caswell & Shearing, Ltd., and Caswell, G. r. April 13, 1922. Jib cranes. - Relates to guy derrick cranes for use in the construction of steel-framed and other buildings. The mast and jib, each jointed at 3, are supported at their lower ends in a frame 4 secured to a table 5 having a bearing on a part spherical support 6 on the foot-block 7. This arrangement prevents unequal strains and provides an equal bearing surface in all positions of the mast and jib. In order to avoid the necessity of removing and re-reeving the load-rope when the jib is reversed for raising the mast from floor to floor, the rope is led from a sheave-block 7<a> beneath the foot-block, through an axial hole in the bearing 6, and between two sheave-blocks 8, 9, to the front of the jib. There may be three pulleys at 7<a> and in the block 12 at the jib head, so that a double rope may be used for rapid hoisting and a single rope for light loads. The single rope passes up the back of the jib and over a pulley 12a to one of the pulleys 12. Guide pulleys 11 are provided on the jib. Two or more of the bracing bars 14 of the lattice mast are extended to provide a lifting strap 15 for raising the mast by means of the jib, which is reversed and supported by guys for that purpose. The luffing rope passes round a sheave at 7<a> and through the bearing 6 to sheaves 16 at the mast head. To permit of the use of a long jib which may be brought up close to the mast, the sheaves 16 are built into the structure of the mast. In raising the crane from one floor to another, the jib is luffed in until its weight is taken by the luffing-rope, the pin of sheave 9 is removed, the jib foot is allowed to rest on the ground or on the structure, the jib is turned so that the sheave 12 faces the mast, and the jib is held by temporary guy-ropes. The load-rope is then attached to the strap 15 and the weight of the mast is supported by the jib. The foot-block is attached to straps on the mast, and the mast and foot-black are lifted by the load-rope. After securing the mast in the new position, the jib is raised by means of the luffing-rope.
