Title: Improvements in Induction Electric Motor Armatures.
Inventor: CAROLAN EDGAR ALFRED
Filed: 1903-03-20
Granted: 1904-02-18
Abstract: 6486. Carolan, E. A., [General Electric Co.]. March 20. Armatures.-Ring-shaped cores for dynamoelectric armatures, and more particularly for the rotors of induction motors, are built up of a large number of small and similar sheetmetal stampings made of such a form that the one standard size of stamping may be used in armatures of different standard sizes. The stamping!! are strung upon the conductor bars forming the " squirrel cage" or other winding, and are secured by the end conductor rings in the case of induction - motor armatures. The stampings may be of various shapes, as shown in Figs. 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, but in all cases have curved ends to enable them to be arranged in circles of different diameter. In assembling them upon the conductor bars 11, Fig. 1, the joints may be overlapped in every layer, or less frequently if desired, and the stampings may be overlapped in halves, thirds, &c., a suitable number of holes or slots being provided in each. When there are more than two holes &c. in each stamping, not more than two must fit the bars 11 closely, the others being elongated to allow of the pieces being linked together at different angles. The stampings shown in Fig. 11 are adapted for conductor bars 28 of channel section and for overlapping in halves. The conductor bars 11, 28 are insulated by enamelling them or surrounding them with hard thin paper tubes 13, and are soldered or riveted at their ends to the end conductor rings. These rings may be continuous or built up of sections, similar to those of the core, soldered together. The armature hub A may be tapered and forced into the core, or may be keyed to the core and end rings or to the rings only.

Title: Improvements in Sound Record Tablets applicable for Gramophones and the like.
Inventor: SANDERS JOSEPH
Filed: 1904-08-30
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 18,763. Sanders, J. Aug. 30. Drawings to Specification. Phonographs, graphophones, &c.-Relates to a method of making flat gramophone records, applicable also to graphophones. The copies of records are produced by pressing on a metallic matrix, on which the undulations corresponding to the sound waves appear in raised lines, a mass of the record material softened by heat. To use as little of this material as possible, a pasteboard or fibrous disc is used as a base. This is first permeated with a sizing which softens when heated, such as resin. The sizing is applied by dipping the tablet in or painting the tablet with a solution of this sizing in some solvent and then allowing the solvent to evaporate. The record material is next applied in a similar manner, thus ensuring a uniform thin layer, both sides being coated to prevent warping. The resin, besides preventing absorption by the fibrous base of the record material, causes the base to retain its shape after pressing. The record material best adapted for this process is an intimate mixture of shellac and some metallic oxide, which is obtained by adding the powdered oxide to the solution of shellac in some solvent.
