Title: Manufacture of Mixed Anhydrides of Formic and Organic Acids, and the Preparation from these of Formylic Derivatives of Alcohols or Ammonia or of Substitution Products of Ammonia.
Inventor: BEHAL AUGUSTE
Filed: 1899-06-10
Granted: 1900-04-14
Abstract: 12,157. BÚhal, A. June 10. Anhydrides; formic-acid ethers; amides; hydrazines.-Mixed anhydrides of formic acid and other organic acids are obtained by causing formic acid free from water to react with molecular proportions of the anhydrides of those acids at moderate temperatures. In this way, formic-acetic-anhydride, formic-propionic-anhydride, formic - isobutyric-anhydride, and formic-isovaleric-anhydride have been prepared. These mixed anhydrides are decomposed in the cold by tertiary bases, such as quinoline, with copious evolution of carbon monoxide. They react with alcohols or ammonia, or substitution products of ammonia, giving rise to the corresponding formates or formyl compounds. By their reaction with alcohols, the formates of capryl, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, hexyl, heptyl, benzyl, allyl, cinnamyl, glycol, and phenylglycol, as well as those of the terpenic alcohols (e.g., borneol, menthol, geraniol, linalool, citronellol, and terpineol), have been prepared. Anhydrous terpin gives diformyl terpin, and caryophyllene alcohol and santalol the formates of caryophyllenyl and santalyl. By causing the mixed anhydrides to react with ammonia or its substitution products, there may be obtained formamide, formanilide, methyformanilide, formyl - ethoxyaniline, formyl-oamidophenol, formyl-urea, and formylphenylhydrazine.

Title: Improvements in a Commutating Switch and Combinations of Electric Motors and Batteries for Controlling Electric Carriages and like purposes
Inventor: JOEL HENRY FRANCIS
Filed: 1900-05-24
Granted: 1901-04-20
Abstract: 9612. Joel, J. F. May 24. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to means for controlling electric motors and batteries suitable for electric carriages or other machinery. A cylindrical switch, having eight positions, and shown in plan in Fig. 12, is employed. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement of the circuits for charging the batteries. In this diagram N<1>, N<2> are the field coils, R', R<2>. R<3> resistances, M<1>, M<2> the armatures, and H, F, &c. the terminals corresponding to the similarly-marked spring contacts in Fig. 12. Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of the circuits for slow forward movement, the armatures being in series, and Fig. 5 shows the arrangement for fast forward movement, the armatures being in parallel. Other positions of the switch provide for slow reverse movement, for stopping, and for three degrees of speeding up by inserting resistances in the field circuit. One arrangement of circuits is also shown for tringing in additional coils into the field circuit. In the controller switch, the spring contacts S' are specially shaped as shown in Fig. 14, and means are provided for varying their pressure against the barrel T. The switch is held in each of its several positions by a notched flange W and spring stop W<2>. Fig. 12, and, in order to prevent arcing, provision is made for effecting the changes with suddenness. For this purpose the pinions K<2>. through which the handle K acts on the barrel T by a toothed sector K<1>, is mounted on the spindle resiliently. As shown in Figs. 18 and 19, the pinion has two flats K<4>, which are embraced by a pair of blade springs W<3> carried by the barrel. These first permit a certain relative movement between the pinion and the spindles, and afterwards add their force to that of the spring stop W<2> in forcibly completing each step of the movement. The pinion also has two segment teeth for limiting the relative movement and ensuring a positive connection.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Casting Metal Strip.
Inventor: WEBSTER CYRUS CLINTON
Filed: 1900-06-11
Granted: 1900-08-11
Abstract: 10,642. Webster, C. C. June 11. Casting.-Relates to a machine for casting lead or other metal into continuous strips. The mould E is an annular space enclosed by a flanged disc 6, a plate 19 inside the flange 8, and a cover-plate 27. The disc is supported in a frame 3 by rollers 10, and the plate 19 is carried by a shaft 17. The rollers are mounted on eccentric pins, so that the disc may be eccentrically adjusted, to leave the thickest part of the mould at the point of discharge K, Fig 3, and to determine the thickness of the strip. The cover-plate is connected by a bolt 30 and slot with the plate 19, and rotates on a fixed eccentric 21, having an arm 22 locked to the frame. Lateral movement of the parts is prevented by rollers 35 on a yoke 2 secured to the frame. The disc 6 carries a gear-wheel 14, and it and the shaft 17 are driven at equal speeds by toothed gearing. Molten metal is supplied by a force-pump 62 and a double-ended valvo 60 from a crucible C. The crucible is adjustable to and from the mould by a screw 55, and is heated by a burner &c. 91. The metal passes through an ingate 77 heated by a flame 95. The mould to the rear side of the ingate is blocked by a projection on the block 78. The mould is rotated in the direction of the arrow, and the metal forced in, the solidified strip being ejected at the point K by a tapered ejector blade H secured in the path of the mould. A burner 96 heats the mould to prevent the metal from solidifying too quickly.
