Title: Improvements relating to Employees Time Recorders.
Inventor: HEWITT CHARLES JAMES
Filed: 1907-08-02
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 17,673. Hewitt, C. J., and Hewitt, C. W. Aug. 2. Time - checking apparatus for workmen. The mechanism for opening or closing the lid or withdrawing a cover from the writing-aperture in an autographic workmen's time-recorder is arranged to feed on the record-strip so that the printed time may become visible to the person making the record. In the form shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the record - strip e passes between the time - printing wheels b, c and the roller platen h around which the inking-ribbon i is led. As the lid n is raised, the pin r upon a disk attached thereto slips under the spring pawl u and on the closing movement rides over and depresses the lug v, whereby the platen arm s is forced downwards ; towards the end of the closing movement, the record-strip is fed by means of a ratchet gear allowing considerable lost motion. In the modification shown in Figs. 6 and 7, a handle upon the spindle 2 must first be operated to slide the plate y from under the writing-aperture j; this movement is utilized to first force the platen h and alining-teeth against the type-wheels by means of the arm and pin 9, 10, and subsequently to feed the time-record thus made into the writing aperture, for which purpose the ratchetwheel x on the shaft engages a spring-pawl w on one of the feeding gear-wheels. The inking-ribbon in this arrangement is placed between the type and the record-strip; the take-up roller is also driven through a friction connexion.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Rotary Engines.
Inventor: DUYSENS TOSSANUS
Filed: 1907-10-25
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 23,631. Duysens, T., Jong, J. R. H. de, and Kneppers, H. L. Nov. 14, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Fixed-abutment type; elastic-fluid turbines.-A combined rotary engine and turbine comprises a drum, mounted in an eccentric casing and provided with outwardly-sliding vanes, and ports forming inward-flow turbine blades. The drum carries oscillating cylindrical valves, automatically controlled by centrifugal action, for cutting - off a number of the turbine blades. A piston drum c, Fig. 4, mounted eccentrically within a casing a, is fitted with diametrically sliding vanes g. Between each pair of vanes is a series of ports f leading to an oscillating valve e, Figs. 3 and 4. Steam is admitted through two ports l, p for forward driving, or through ports k, n for reverse driving, an oscillating reversing valve t controlling these ports. The exhaust passes through a port m. The steam entering through the port l passes inwardly through the passages f, which thereby perform the function of inward-flow turbine blades, and afterwards passes out again into the crescent-shaped working - chamber. This steam, together with steam admitted through the port p, acts upon the vane g in the manner usual with rotary engines provided with sliding vanes. For a lower power, the valve t may be turned so as to close the port p. A disk 1, Fig. 3, is rigidly mounted upon the shaft and carries radially-movable blocks 5, which carry springs (not shown) connected to the levers of the cylindrical valves e. The ends of the valve levers are weighted. The centrifugal force set up in the lever weights acts in opposition to the tension of the springs. The position of the valves e is therefore automatically set according to the speed of rotation. The tension of the spring 6 may be adjusted by the rotation of a screw 2, which causes the blocks 5 to slide radially. The mechanism for effecting this action comprises a collar 3 and links 4.

Abstract: 1171. Sterne, L. Jan. 16. Macadamized roads; road and ways, special materials for. - Consists in making roads by loosening the materials forming the upper layer of the land or existing roads, mixing with the loose material a quantity of asphaltic oil or a like binder, and then consolidating the mixed material. Any material that does not admit of ploughing and harrowing is first removed. The surface materials, which may be earth, gravel, sand, clay, loam, broken stone, &c., are then ploughed to a depth of about six inches and harrowed, and the road is shaped to the required camber. To bind the materials, asphaltic oil, obtained by removing the volatile constituents of crude asphaltic petroleum, is heated in a portable tank to 150-350‹ F., and discharged by air pressure over the road surface. The ploughing and harrowing are repeated. These operations may be continued with smaller quantities of the binding-oil several times. After the final harrowing, the surface is tamped or rolled, a suitable roller being formed of a number of disks revolving independently on a single axle and spaced apart either by the convexity of the disks or by hubs at the axis. The disks may be of hexagonal or similar shape, or may be studded. The rolling is continued till the materials are consolidated, when a smooth finishing-r¾ller may be used.
