Title: A New or Improved Receiving Instrument for Wireless Telegraphy.
Inventor: BOYS CHARLES VERNON
Filed: 1905-07-05
Granted: 1906-04-19
Abstract: 13,828. Boys, C. V. July 5. Wireless telegraphy.-Bouncing jets of conducting liquid, such as mercury or dilute sulphuric acid, are used as wave-detectors in wireless telegraphy. The jets impinge on one another at a small angle, and coalesce when a difference of potential is created between them owing to the receipt of electric oscillations by the aerial. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the looped aerial i is connected to the bottles a, from which the jets issue through nozzles h. Floats b control the supply of liquid to the bottles from the reservoirs c, or equivalent controlling-means may be employed. The bottles may be coated with tin-foil s and connected at w; or condensera y may be interposed between the bottles. When the jets coalesce, they impinge on the inclined end of a lever j, thereby rocking a spindle k and introducing the upper curved end of the lever j into the path of one of the jets, which are thus separated or "decohered." At the same time, contact is made at p, the circuit of the relay q which controls the Morse recorder &c. p<1> being closed. The lever may directly operate an ink recorder. The lever j may be operated electromagnetically instead of by the direct action of the jets. A small constant difference of potential may be maintained between the jets to render the apparatus more sensitive.

Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 14,786. Celstharp, F. July 18. Forming articles with wire skeletons; rolling.- Relates to a machine for rolling wired glass. The molten metal is poured on to the table A between the guides F and the main roller C, which is drawn to the left by ropes A<1> and pushes the guides F in front of it. As the roller advances, the wire netting J becomes embedded in the glass, and is kept in slight tension by passing over a grid H<1>, connected by pivoted links K<1> to a cross-bar L which engages notches G in the guides F. In order that the grid H<1> may be kept at about the same distance from the mass of glass in front of the roller C, the ends of the bar L are turned down so as to strike rollers M, M', M<2> of increasing diameter or pegs of increasing height. This raises the bar L at intervals, and causes it to engage the notches G in succession. If desired, the bar L may be raised by hand, or the grid H<1> may be drawn along by ropes &c. at a slightly slower speed than the roller C. Trail or smoothing rollers P, P' are provided to eliminate the waves which might otherwise appear on the finished surface. They are raised out of contact with the end of the sheet first formed, by bearers Q which support bowls Q' mounted on the ends of the spindle of the roller P. The wire netting is kept at a short distance above the table and is also heated by a metal plate R, Fig. 4, which is fixed to the side plate II of the grid H<1>.
