Abstract: 22,980. Bannrucker, W., and Schuch, E. Oct. 18. Recording by co-ordinates; r e c o r d i n g by distinctive marks.-In a speed indicator of the periodic-counter type, adapted particularly for locomotives, records of the speed and the pressure in the air brake system, and also a timedistance record, are made on a clock-driven strip by means of cam - actuated pins. A pinion which drives the speedindicating hand also gears with a rack which is connected to a rod 113 carrying a pin - supporting arm 115. The rod slides in a rotatable tube 117 provided with a spring 119 held by pins 120. A clock-driven cam 89 controls an arm 121 so that every three seconds this arm and the tube 117 are turned and then released, the pin under the return action of the spring thereupon piercing the record strip. The distances traversed, and indirectly the speed, are recorded by means of a pin on an arm 122 mounted on a shaft to which is fixed an arm 127 controlled by a spring 123 and a cam 16 rotated by the vehicle. The air-brake pressure record is made by a pin on a lever 126 moved by a Bourdon pressure gauge in communication with the main conduit of the brake system. The pin is periodically actuated to puncture the paper by a hammer 116 secured to the tube 117.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Driving of Depth Indicators for Winding Systems and the like.
IPC: B66B3/02

Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 3480. Siemens-Schuckertwerke. Feb. 10, 1911, [Convention date]. Counting and index attachments.-In winding systems in which two cages are used, one ascending as the other descends, a depth indicator a is driven through differential gearing m from two head sheaves b, c over which the ropes connected to the two cages pass. The revolutions of the indicator-shaft thus equal the sum of the revolutions of the two head sheaves. This is stated to avoid accumulative errors which arise when only one sheave is used to drive the indicator, and are caused by the loaded rope creeping over its sheave. Safety devices such as means for preventing overwinding may be operated by the indicator.

Title: Improvements in Electric Switches.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER HAROLD GEORGE CRUI
IPC: H01H51/12
Filed: 1912-05-06
Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 10,704. Fairweather, H. G. C., [Hart Manufacturing Co.]. May 6. Electro-magnetic switches of the kind which are locked mechanically after closing a circuit, and are unlocked by an additional electromagnet, are constructed as follows. A solenoid 7 when energized by the closing of a switch 45, Fig. 8, raises a core 6 carrying contacts 3, 3<1> up to fixed contacts 2, 2'. The core is locked in its raised position by one or more balls 17, Fig. 3, mounted to play in holes in a non- magnetic sleeve 16 surrounding a head 14 which is spring-seated upon and travels upwards with the core 6. The balls project into recesses in the head 14 until the holes in the sleeve come opposite recesses 13 in a stationary cap 12, whereupon the balls enter the stationary recesses and lock the sleeve, core, and contacts. Upon the closing of the main contacts 2, 2<1>, 3, 3<1>, an auxiliary circuit is completed through a solenoid 22 which raises a core 26, separates a contact 32 from stationary contacts 29, 29<1>, and breaks the circuit of the solenoid 7. The upper solenoid core is retarded by the tight fitting of a piston 27, so that the lower solenoid has time to act first before its current is cut off. To open the locked switch, the switch 45, Fig. 8, is opened, de-energizing the solenoid 22. The core 26, in falling, strikes a projection 38 of the spring-seated head 14, the recesses in which then come opposite the balls 17 and allow them to move out of the stationary recesses 13, the core 6 and contacts 3, 3<1> falling by gravity. If, as may happen upon alternating-current circuits, the core 6 is not actuated powerfully enough to get locked before the current is cut off, the consequent re-opening of the main switch de-energizes the solenoid 22 and leads to the re-making of circuit through the solenoid 7 which again raises the core one or more times until it is successfully locked.
