Patent GB-190106271-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Telegraphic or Telautographic Apparatus.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1901-03-25
Granted: 1901-05-04
Abstract: 6271. Boult, A. J., [Gruhn, E. K.]. March 25. Telegraphs.-Relates to autographic telegraphs in which currents varying in strength are sent along two lines to two electromagnets so as to oscillate a pivoted armature and thus reflect a ray of light on to a photographic surface so as to reproduce the motions of the transmitting-stylus. Fig. 3 shows the apparatus diagrammatically. A stylus 2 is connected to two arms 3, 4 at rightangles. The arms 3, 4 carry spring contacts 5, 6, which move over helical resistance coils 7, 8 arranged in an earthed local circuit including a battery 14. One contact 6 is connected directly to the line 19, and the other contact 5 is connected through contacts 22, 23 on the stylus with the line 20. The lines 19, 20 are connected to receiver magnets 25, 26, which are earthed at 27. The armatures 40, 41 are polarized, and the cores are short to allow a large air space. The mirror 35 is mounted to rest at two points on the horns of the armatures, and on a third point as a pivot. Light is thrown on to the mirror from a lamp 33, and is reflected on to a photographic surface 30 arranged in a slide or holder. The stylus has two contacts 23, 22, by which the contact is made and broken when the stylus is placed on or raised from the paper so as to throw the recording-spot of light off the sensitive field or to a neutral position. The contacts may be arranged to throw in a reverse battery 52 when the stylus is raised.

Abstract: 12,584. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. June 2. 2-Chlor-3 nitraniline-5-sulphonic acid is produced by partially reducing o-o-dinitrochlorbenzene-psulphonic acid. An example is given in which almost all the iron is precipitated from iron sulphate by sodium carbonate without making the mixture alkaline, and the potassium salt of o-odinitroclilorbenzene-sulphonic acid is warmed therewith to 60‹-90‹ C. Dyes, artificial.-An azo dye is produced by combining the diazo compound of the foregoing 2-chlor-3-nitraniline-5-sulphonic acid with #-naphthol. The reddish dye-stuff thus formed is hydrolysed by boiling with caustic-soda solution whereby the chlorine atom is believed to be exchanged for the hydroxyl radicle and a blue-violet hydroxy-azo dye-stuff is obtained. The Provisional Specification also describes a modification, in which the diazo compound is first hydrolysed by cold alkali-carbonate solution and then combined with #-naphthol.
