Title: Improvements in Brake Apparatus for Railway Waggons and other similar Vehicles.
Inventor: PARROTT GEORGE
Filed: 1907-02-15
Granted: 1907-10-17
Abstract: 3768. Parrott, G. Feb. 15. Brakes.-The brakes of a railway wagon or similar vehicle are operated from opposite corners of the vehicle by a hand-lever 7, secured to the transverse shaft 1, and by a lever 7<1> pivoted to a swinging link 8 and connected to a lever 9 secured to the shaft 1. The levers are held in the off' or ' on' position by racks formed on plates 16 carried by rods 12, which are pressed outwards against the levers 7, 7<1> by springs 15, and are connected together by a pivoted longitudinal rod 10. The plates 16 are moved inwards to free the band-levers from the racks, by a ]ever 17 pivoted to the band-levers. In order that the brakes may be applied by continuous Lrake mechanism independently of the hand-levers, the tumbler lever 6 is connected to the brake block by a rod 21, fitting into a tube 20 and bearing against the slot 22 when the brakes are applied by band. The continuous brake mechanism is connected to a swinging lever 23 which engages a stop 24 on the tube 20.

Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 6281. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt. Ges.]. March 16. Exchange systems.-Relates to the automatic supply and control of ringing-current in two-wire exchange systems having the call-relay permanently in the line circuit, the invention being a simplification of the system described in Specification 24,330/08.

When the called subscriber replies, the supervisory relay SR<2> is energized by current passing through the sub-station, and closes at 2 the circuit of a cut-off relay RAR, thereby opening at 4 the circuit of the relay RR and permanently disconnecting the ringing-generator RM. The relay RAR has a holding-on winding 6 under the control of the relay RER, so that, when t' e connecting-plug is withdrawn, all the relays return to their normal condition.

Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 20,815. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Lydall, F. Sept. 11. Meters registering special quantities ; commutator motor meters.-A special system of charging, in which the irregularity of the demand affects the charge, involves the use of a meter having a rate proportional to the square of the current. The registering-mechanism is arranged to indicate the mean square of the current during a definite period multiplied by a factor proportional to the square of the supply pressure in volts and the number of hours in the chosen period, such as a quarter; the number of 'units' supplied is obtained by taking the square root of the number registered during the period. A separate dial may be unevenly graduated to indicate the square root directly, the pointer being reset after every reading, by stop-watch or similar mechanism. The meter shown has a disk armature B, the windings of which are connected through a commutator E to the ends of a resistance S in the mam circuit, a field magnet C with a series winding D, and a brake disk H and magnet K. The disk H may carry armature windings connected through a separate commutator N and a high resistance R between the mains, to provide a constant torque to compensate for friction. For use on alternating-current circuits, the electromagnets are laminated ; and for polyphase circuits a suitable constant is introduced into the multiplier.
