In the examples, 3-chloro-4-aminophenyl - methylsulphone, 3 - chloro - 4 - aminophenyl - ethylsulphone, 2 - amino - 5 - chlorophenyl-ethylsulphone, and 3-chloro - 4 - aminodiphenylsulphone are obtained respectively from 3 : 4-dichlorophenyl-methylsulphone, 3 : 4- dichlorophenyl-ethylsulphone, 2 : 5-dichlorophenyl - ethylsulphone and 3 : 4 - dichloro - diphenylsulphone. The products are useful as intermediates for the manufacture of azo-dyes and pharmaceutical products. Poly-halogen-arylsulplones of the type defined above are obtained (1) by the reduction of poly-halogen-arylsulphonic acid chlorides into the corresponding sulphinic acid salts and reacting the latter with an alkylating, aralkylating or arylating agent, or (2) by the interaction. of poly-halogen-aryl-sulphonic acid chlorides with hydrocarbons, or by the interaction of aryl-sulphonic acid chlorides not containing nuclear halogen atoms with poly-halogen-aryl compounds, in the presence of AlCl3.

Abstract: 218,480. Penrose & Co., Ltd., A. W., and Owen, M. June 26, 1923. Rollers, applying detachable covers to. -A printing or other cylinder, to the periphery of which a metal sheet such as an etched metal printing sheet is to be applied, is provided with means for facilitating the mounting or removal of the sheet comprising a roller bearing against the cylinder and carried on pivoted arms which can be adjusted to vary the pressure of the roller on the cylinder. As shown, a cylinder 1 is provided with a gap 22 in which the ends 14, 15 of the metal printing sheet are clamped by means such as are described in Specification 189,036. A roller 4 bears against the sheet, and is carried by two levers 6 pivoted at 7, adjustment of which is effected by a screw 13 passing through a downward extension 5 on one or each of the levers and engaging a fixed stop 10. To remove the sheet, the clamping means in the gap 22 are removed so that the end 15 springs out, whereupon the cylinder is rotated in a clockwise direction and the sheet can be withdrawn by hand over the roller 4. To apply a sheet to a cylinder, the end 14 of the sheet is anchored in the gap 22 and the cylinder 1 rotated in an anticlockwise direction so that the roller 4 keeps the sheet stretched until the end 15 reaches the gap 22 when it is clamped in the gap in the usual way.

Title: Improvements in or relating to methods of providing thin coherent substantially smooth layers on rough surfaces of articles
IPC: H01J29/28
Filed: 1948-06-24
Abstract: A rough surface of an article is given a smooth coating by immersing the article in a filling liquid, introducing on the surface of this liquid a solution of lower specific gravity than the filling liquid and containing a greater amount of material than is required for the smooth layer, and modifying the level of the liquid and the position of the article with respect to one another so that the solution is caused to pass over the surface of the article, leaving a thin layer on it.  This may be done by siphoning, draining, or pouring out the liquid, or by lifting the articles from the bath.  The articles may then be dried and further treated, e.g. provided with a metal mirror. The specified filling liquid is water and the solution may comprise nitrocellulose dissolved in butyl acetate or in a mixture of butyl acetate and xylene, with or without a softener.  The method may be used in the manufacture of luminescent screens or ceramic articles.
