Patent GB-471953-A (GB)
Title: A method of and apparatus for transmitting and transposing messages
IPC: H04K1/06
Filed: 1936-07-03
Abstract: 471,953. Recording and reproducing sounds. WALKER, J. B. July 3, 1936, No. 18550. [Class 40 (ii)] [Also in Group XX] A system of secret communication makes use of a sound record in which the elements of the message are in jumbled order and which is produced by moving the recording element relatively to the record strip in accordance with a prearranged code. By means of this record the message is transmitted by telephony, telegraphy, wireless or manual delivery to a distant station. In the apparatus shown, the jumbled record is obtained from a record in regular order. The record strips 1, 2, which are moved up or down over sprockets 47, 48 by motors 55, 56, co-operate with magnets 14, 15 (or optical devices) which oscillate vertically when commutator discs 28, 29 are rotated by the motor 44. The circuit of the magnets is closed during the period of engagement of a brush 35 with a conducting segment 31, and an elemental record is made on the strip 2 corresponding to the element on the strip 1. The motors 55, 56 also drive counters 57, 58, which indicate the portions of the strips opposite the recording position of the magnets. Thus by a suitable operation of the switches 63, 64 controlling the motors 55, 56, the message elements recorded on the strip 1 can be recorded on the strip 2 in any desired order, the actual recording of each element being effected by closure of the switch 45 controlling the motor 44. In order that the jumbled message may be restored to its original order in a similar manner, it is necessary for the strip 2 to bear some indication of the starting point of the message. The code record strip 2 may be provided with contacts to control the motors automatically so that recording on and reproduction from the strip may be effected without the intermediary of the strip 1. If desired the message may be represented by musical notes in an arbitrary manner so that when reproduced in the proper order the message can be deciphered by a trained listener.

Abstract: 773,112. Spike extractors. SVENSKA TRYCKLUFTMASKINER S. A. SWALLERT & CO. June 29, 1955, No. 18771/55. Class 61 In a spike extractor comprising two jaws 23 pivoted on the outer end of a rod 11 fixed to a piston 10 operated by compressed air, the piston being enclosed in a cylinder 5 provided with devices for alternately connecting the chambers on both sides of the piston with a source of compressed air, a double armed locking lever 29 pivoted on the piston rod is provided with locking hooks 31, 32 to co-operate with corresponding teeth in the jaws, the hooks being arranged to lock the jaws in open and gripping positions respectively when the rod is retracted and protruded respectively. The piston rod and jaws are surrounded by a cylindrical casing 38 having an opening 39 through which the jaws may project. The jaws 23 are carried by semicircular discs 22, projections 26 on the discs engaging in slots 40, 41 in the casing. Two rows of teeth 27, 28 are provided in the upper edge of each disc, the locking lever 29 being curved to partly surround the upper portions of the discs. Upward movement of the rod 11 is limited by the projection 26 of one disc engaging the upper end of the slot 41, the projecting end Of the locking lever being limited by the upper end of the slot 40. The two jaws are locked in open position by the hook 31 engaging the rows of teeth 27. On downward movement of the piston the points of the jaws pass the bottom wall of the casing 38 and the projecting end of the lever 29 engages an abutment 43 in the slot 40 so that the lever is rocked and the hook 31 released. Thereupon the projections 26 of the discs engage the lower edges of the slots 40, 41 to cause the jaws to approach each other as the piston rod continues to move outwards. The jaws on reaching the position wherein they grip the spike are locked by engagement of the hook 32 with the rows of teeth 28.

Title: Process for forming decorative surface coverings and product thereof
IPC: E04F15/16
Filed: 1974-04-30
Abstract: 1473512 Coated decorative sheet ARMSTRONG CORK CO 30 April 1974 [30 April 1973] 18839/74 Heading B2E [Also in Division B5] Decorative surface coverings are made by forming cohesive porous layer of a resinous dry blend on a release substrate; producing a design thereon by applying heat-setting or chemically-curing ink so as to at least partially penetrate the layer; setting or curing the ink before or after applying a permanent backing layer to the inked surface; and heat-fusing the resinous material before or after removing the substrate. The cohesive layer is formed from resin granules by sintering or by activating adhesive coatings. Any non-inked portions may be removed by brushing or sandblasting away the granules before fusion, a solvent being applied if necessary to loosen the intergranular bonds, thus producing a deep relief surface. Alternatively these portions may remain to give a smooth-surfaced covering. The design may be applied by stack-printing, in which successive ink applications at the same point penetrate less but cover a larger area, or by in-register printing of different colours, penetrating to different depths if desired. The ink penetration may simulate a chip pattern. Different printing patterns, combined in some cases with the removal of un-inked resin, are illustrated. The ink may be a thermoplastic or thermosetting gellable or settable resin and may be set below the resin layer fusion temperature. The backing layer may be a resinous material, e.g. a resin dry blend optionally containing a reinforcement or blowing agent. Preferably an adhesive plastisol coat or a sealing coat is applied to the inked resin layer or the backing layer; the backing layer, e.g. an asbestos or glass fibre mat which may be impregnated or bonded, may be pressed into a coating on the resin layer. The coatings, which may contain pigments, fillers or blowing agents for texture and colour effects can be gelled simultaneously with the ink. An extra foamable or pre-formed foam or non-woven layer may be placed over the backing layer. Foamable materials may be blown during the fusion step. The wear surface of the product may be coated or textured; e.g. a clear resin layer may be applied. The resin dry blends, inks and coating and adhesive materials may be PVC- plasticiser-stabiliser blends, with pigments and fillers as required. The release substrate may be a release-coated impregnated felt.

Title: Improvements relating to gas turbine engines and aircraft provided therewith
Inventor: BRAGG STEPHEN LAWRENCE
IPC: F04D19/02
Filed: 1962-05-17
Abstract: 974,600. Axial-flow compressors; turbines. ROLLS-ROYCE Ltd. May 10, 1963 [May 17, 1962], No. 19156/62. Headings F1C and FIT. A gas turbine engine comprises an axial-flow compressor and turbine each comprising more than one stage of rotatable blades, and means, operable under at least certain predetermined conditions, for causing or permitting the first stage of the compressor and the last stage of the turbine to run at a lower rotational speed than the remaining stages of the compressor and turbine. The lower rotational speed may be not greater than three-quarters (if desired, not greater than half) of the rotational speed of the remaining stages, and may, for example, be 1/2À3 of the latter. The first stage of rotatable blades of the compressor may be a stage of rotatable inlet guide vanes. A compressor for an aircraft gas turbine engine comprises a first-stage rotor 23a, Fig. 2, driven from the compressor shaft 16a through reduction gearing 24-27 so that the rotational speed of the rotor 23a (and consequently the top speed of the first-stage rotor blades 20a) is about half that of the remainstages 30a, which are splined to the shaft 16a. This reduces the noise made by the compressor, much of which comes from the first stage. It also reduces the tendency of the first stage to stall at low engine speeds. In an alternative arrangement, Fig. 5, the first-stage rotor 23c is mounted on the compressor shaft 16c through a ball bearing 31c so that it is not positively driven but is instead rotated by the air passing through the compressor so as to rotate at a lower speed than the remaining stages 30c. If desired, a clutch may be provided for connecting the rotor 23c to the shaft 16c to enable it to be positively driven when maximum engine power is required. This may be a manually controlled friction or magnetic clutch. Alternatively, as shown, a centrifugal clutch may be provided, comprising levers 34 which at, say, cruising speed, are moved outwardly by centrifugal force against the action of springs 36 so as to engage dogs 33. The invention is also applied to the last stage of the turbine of the gas turbine engine.
