Title: Equestrian Board Game
IPC: A63F3/02
Filed: 1979-01-19
Abstract: A board game, based on the equestrian 3-day event, has three separate sections; dressage, cross- country and showjumping. The player must complete the course with use of the dice, gaining as small an amount of penalties as possible. The cross- country and showjumping sections are played as the dressage section but the players can choose whether to take the fast reckless routes or the longer, safer routes. In each section the course is marked with yellow squares which advance the player, red squares which penalise or delay the player and blue squares which oblige the player to take a card and which can be an advantage or a penalty. Rosettes are awarded to 4 places in each section. The three board sections are hinged together. Three dice are numbered conventionally but have two red two blue and two white faces each. Judging and score cards are provided as well as eight horses and riders. A hand-and-dial counter records dice throws.

Title: Liquid filled transformers
IPC: H01F27/14
Filed: 1979-08-24
Abstract: A transformer for operation underwater which is housed within a tank filled with a liquid coolant for cooling the transformer during its operation. The tank 2 has a deformable diaphragm 5 which is deformable and, in use, is engaged on its inner side by the coolant in the tank 2, whereby, when the transformer is positioned for operation underwater, external water pressure acting on the diaphragm 5 will effect compression of the coolant within the tank 2 to a value which will balance the external water pressure acting on the tank 2, thereby to maintain the tank 2 from collapse under the external water pressure.
