Title: A new or improved process for the treatment of the faces of building bricks or tiles
IPC: B28B11/08
Filed: 1940-10-07
Abstract: 542,686. Moulding the surfaces of bricks during manufacture. WEBSTERS, HEMMING & SONS, Ltd., HEMMING, R. S., and HEMMING, P. F. Oct. 7, 1940, No. 14937. [Class 87 (ii)] Patterns are produced on the surface of a brick or tile by moistening the clay, applying to the moistened clay a contact member which may be a moleskin-covered pad or roller, and moving the member out of contact with the moistened clay, whereby the suction raises the moistened clay into small ridges of varying shapes. By moving the member laterally as it is raised from the clay surface, the pattern may be varied. Before the application of the contact member a clay.slip may be applied to the moistened clay ; the clay in the slip may be superior in quality or otherwise different from the clay in the brick or tile.

Title: Gauging Apparatus for Internal Diameters
IPC: G01B5/08
Filed: 1968-03-28
Abstract: 1,196,383. Bore gauges. C.J. HAMMOND, B.M. HAMMOND and D.C. HAMMOND, [trading as ROK-IT GAUGE CO.]. Jan. 28, 1969 [March 28, 1968], No. 14952/68. Heading G1M. A gauge for gauging the internal diameter of bores 44 comprises a disc 11 having diametrically opposed segments cut away, a block 16 at one side of the disc and two rods 19, 20, one end of each of which is pivotally attached to the block 16 whilst the other ends are attached to a block 25. The rods are equal length and the distance between pivot pins 23 and 24 is equal to the distance between pivot pins 29 and 30. The disc 11 is secured to the block 16 by a screw 38 and a disc 31, similar in shape to the disc 11, is secured by a screw 39 to the block 25. The curved periphery of the disc 11 has a diameter equal to that of the bore 44 so that this disc comprises a "go" gauge whilst the diameter of the curved periphery of the disc 31 is slightly greater than that of the bore to form a "no-go" gauge. The pivoted rods enable one gauge to be used as a manipulator to tilt the other gauge as it is being moved into the bore and then to position the gauge at right angles to the bore axis at the part of the bore to be gauged. Instead of being one of the gauges, the manipulator may be a handle.

[Class 37] A cathode-ray oscillograph and the mains transformer from which it is supplied are so positioned with respect to one another that the cathode ray coincides with the stray magnetic lines of force emanating from the transformer, both in the zero and deflected positions of the ray. Fading and distortion of the light-spot on the fluorescent screen due to stray field are thereby avoided. In a casing 1 are situated the mains transformer 2 and also the other parts of the mains connecting apparatus (not shown) such as rectifiers, filter impedances, condensers, resistances, &c. The cathode ray oscillograph 5 is provided with a plug 4 having contact pins engaging corresponding sockets in the front wall of the casing 1. The mains transformer 2, which is of the shell type, is arranged so that the rectilinear stray lines of force 7 coincide with the cathode ray 6. The distance apart of the oscillograph and transformer is so adjusted that in its deflected position the ray coincides with sufficient exactitude with the other stray lines, as determined by the absence of any effect on the ray. If necessary a magnetic screen, shown in dotted lines may be provided around the transformer.

Abstract: 502,302. Directive wireless systems. LORENZ AKT.-GES., C. May 24, 1938, No. 15476. Convention date, May 25, 1937. [Class 40 (v)] In a radio beacon transmitter, a plurality of differently-directed course-lines are alternately radiated from a continuously-fed dipole aerial by means of a number of alternately effective and ineffective reflector systems each comprising a plurality of reflecting means. In Fig. 3, the two sets of reflectors R1, R2 and R1<1>, R21 combine with the radiating dipole D to produce the radiation characteristics A1, A2, and All, A2<1> which mark the course lines LI, L2 and L1<1>, L2<1>. The two systems are alternately operative for periods of one minute and are distinguished by their wave, modulation, or keying frequencies. The signals are separated in the receiver by tuned high or low frequency filters, or by acoustical comparison, respectively. A cam-controlled switch may be used conjointly for supplying the characteristic frequency to a given system and for rendering the remaining systems inoperative. The individual reflectors of an inoperative reflector system need not be inoperative, but may assist the operative reflector system in producing the desired radiation characteristic. Keying noises are eliminated by making the circular radiation characteristic of the dipole intersect all points of intersection between the directional characteristics. The angles between the course lines may be varied by suitably adjusting the phases of the reflectors and in cases where a zigzag route is necessary beacon transmitters may be situated at the points of alteration of direction.
