Title: Improvements relating to Elastic or Resilient Rollers and Cylinders.
Inventor: HENNING FREDERICK WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: B41N7/06
Filed: 1909-06-14
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 13,939. Henning, F. W. J., and Wetter, J. June 14. Rollers.-Elastic rollers such as inking-rollers &c., which are constructed mainly of a gelatinized mixture of starch and magnesium chloride, are constructed in two or more concentric layers, so that only the outer layer need be renewed when the surface is damaged. The inner layer is formed by moulding the starch composition around an iron spindle with or without a detachable sheath, and the outer layer is moulded around the inner layer, with or without a winding of ribbon, tape, muslin, or other fabric around the inner layer to prevent the layers from separating. While the outer layer is being moulded the inner core is supported in the mould in the manner described in Specification 8503/04, [Class 100, Printing, Letterpress &c.]. Screwed caps on the spindle may keep the layers in place. The outer layer may be formed of the starch composition, or of gelatine, or a rubber substitute, and may be applied to a worn ordinary gelatinized starch composition roller after trueing-up in a lathe. The inner layer may be prepared from a mixture of pulverized worn roller and liquid starch composition.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Pictures Showing Stereoscopic Relief.
Inventor: WITHERS JOSEPH SUTTON
IPC: G03B35/00
Filed: 1911-05-29
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 12,891. Withers, J. S., [Deutsche Rasterges]. May 28. Kinematograph films. - Pictures showing stereoscopic relief when suitably viewed are obtained by placing two component parts of a stereoscopic picture on a two-colour screen, the colours of which are complementary so that the elements of the one component are only situated for example on the red elements of the screen, whereas the elements of the other component are only situated on the green elements between the red elements of the same two-colour screen. The picture is viewed through spectacles, the glasses of which are of corresponding complementary colours. The process is applicable to the production of kinematograph pictures. In one process a two-colour screen-plate is exposed successively to the adjacent stereoscopic positions through complementary filters, and through the screen of the plate. The negative so obtained is copied through the back of a similar two - colour screen - plate in such a manner that the similarly coloured elements of both screens cross each other. In a modified method for obtaining the negative, the stereo-lenses are arranged so that the images superimpose on the screen-plate. A further alternative consists in reproducing ordinary stereoscopic negatives successively on to a screen-plate by printing the component negatives in turn through complementary colour-filters and through the back of the screen positive. The screen for the diapositive is made on thin celluloid or like film to avoid any lack of sharpness in printing through the screen. This process is used in obtaining a kinematograph positive from kinematograph stereo-negatives. A method for obtaining the screen consists in printing a set of lines with printers' ink by means of a press on to a gelatinized film. The remaining spaces are then coloured or stained in a solution of cinnabar scarlet, and the stained film is treated with a solution of iron chloride to fix the colour and harden the film. The printers' ink is then dissolved off, and the remaining spaces are coloured in a solution of blue. The second colour is also fixed by a solution of iron chloride.
