Abstract: 2711. Girlot, J. Feb. 3, 1910, [Convention date]. Forging; axial rolling; die-rolling; rolling wheels.-In machines in which work is shaped by axially-moving dies while being rotated axially by rollers, the work-rotating means is mounted on a compound slide which enables the distance apart of the rollers to be adjusted, and the work to be moved transversely with respect to the dies. The rollers 3, 4, 5, 6 are driven from wheels 10 driven through flexible shafts and may have grooves &c. for shaping the contour of the work. The rollers are moved apart by a right and left handed screw operated from a handle 8, and are moved bodily to vary the radial position of the blow, for instance in the manufacture of wheels for wagons, by a screw 15 connected to a wheel 16.

Patent GB-191216172-A (GB)
Title: Process for Removing Sulphuretted Hydrogen from Gases.
Inventor: BURKHEISER KARL
IPC: C10K1/08
Filed: 1912-07-10
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 16,172. Burkheiser, K. Sept. 26, 1911, [Convention date]. Ammonia; ammonium sulphide, sulphite, and sulphate; sulphocyanides. - Sulphuretted hydrogen is removed from gas by washing with an alkali solution and simultaneously regenerating the alkali by the chemically equivalent quantity of hydrated iron oxide. If cyanogen compounds are present, a part of the washing solution is converted into polysulphide, for instance by adding sulphur to the liquor or oxygen to the gas, so that soluble sulphocyanide is produced which can be separated from the insoluble iron sulphide and further treated, for instance for conversion into ammonia as described in Specification 15,977/12. The sulphur separated from the gas may be converted into sulphurous and sulphuric anhy-. drides, for instance by heating the iron sulphide in air, these gases being then used to combine with the ammonia of the gas. The purification of the gas from sulphuretted hydrogen may take place after the separation of tar and before the separation of ammonia. Gas from a retort 1 passes by hydraulic main 2 and pipe 3 to a cooler 4, the condensate being distilled in a column 5 and the vapour returned to the gas before the purifier 8. The gas is forced by an exhauster 6 through a tar-separator 7 and thence to the washer 8 which may be similar to a rotating cyanogen washer, where the sulphuretted hydrogen is removed as above described, the liquor with its suspended hydrated iron oxide being pumped from chamber to chamber in opposition to the gas, thence passing by a pipe 9 to a filter-press 11. A part of the filtrate is taken by a pipe 15 and used to moisten the coal entering the retort, whereby the sulphocyanides are converted into ammonia as in Specification 15,977/12, while the rest of the filtrate, together with washings from the filter-cakes, is returned to the washer 8 by way of hopper 18 and vessel 12, receiving on its way the iron oxide, which has been formed by treatment of the filter-cakes with air in the regenerator 13. The sulphur oxides from the regenerator are washed out in a washer 19, and the .ammonia is extracted from the gas in a saturator 20 and scrubber 21. Specification 2589/81, [Class 55, Gas manufacture], is referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that ammonia may be employed as the alkali, the ammonia contained in the gas itself being suitable, and that the sulphuretted hydrogen may be removed by washing with the alkali alone, the product being subsequently regenerated by hydrated iron oxide. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
