Abstract: <PICT:0458935/IV/1> A machine for treating fabrics, in open width and continuous length, with liquids, particularly suitable for cr<\>zeping fabrics by a short initial treatment under controlled tension to permit shrinkage followed by a more prolonged treatment without tension in folded condition, comprises a carriage x which is reciprocable along a track h and supports a roll of fabric a and upper and lower pairs of rollers b, c and f, f<1> which feed the fabric through a box or casing d of which the rollers f, f<1> form the bottom closure.  Treating liquor is supplied to spray nozzles e, e<1> at opposite sides of the fabric, so that liquor is maintained at a certain level in the box.  Both pairs of rollers are driven, the surface speeds of the pairs being so related to each other and to the shrinkage taking place in the fabric that any desired tension is maintained on the fabric.  The lower rollers f, f<1> deliver the fabric, with a certain quantity of liquor, to a vat i charged with liquor, the reciprocation of the carriage x, or, alternatively, of the vat, plaiting the fabric into the vat.  The fabric is withdrawn past a perforated partition j, or beneath a false bottom of the vat. Liquor is withdrawn from the vat by a pump and passed to the nozzles e, e<1>.  The fabric may be damped before treatment, and the treating liquor may be heated.

Abstract: 382,648. Valve amplifying circuits. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., Strand, and PUCKLE, O. S., 76, Crystal Palace Park Road, Sydenham, both in London. July 27, 1931, No. 21451. [Class 40 (v).] In short-wave transmitters and receivers, leakage of radio-frequency energy through the batteries or other sources of supply is prevented by replacing the usual chokes by two-wire leads an odd number of quarter-wavelengths long. The leads are terminated at the point of zero high-frequency potential by a shunt condenser or load impedance. The two-wire leads preferably consist of a telescopic outer conductor 3a, Fig. 4, and a concentric inner conductor 2, the shunt impedance being in the form of a tubular condenser 5<1>. Fig. 1 shows a two-wire " choke " 2, 3 and shunt impedance 5 applied to the high-tension battery 10 of the valve 6. A similar arrangement is applied to the filament supply. In the case of a push-pull amplifier, two two-wire chokes are combined into a single three-wire lead, one wire serving as a common conductor to both anodes. Specifications 372,660 and 377,535 are referred to.

Title: Photographic camera
IPC: G03B17/04
Filed: 1975-05-20
Abstract: 1511335 Cameras EASTMAN KODAK CO 20 May 1975 [20 May 1974] 21572/75 Heading G2A In a camera having a view-finder housing 4, which can extend or retract with respect to the main housing 2, the housing 4 has means whereby it can be coupled to a shutter cocking and film transport slide member 6. The Fig. shows the mechanism in a cocked position, the housing 4 being retracted (full line position) into the housing 2. The transport slide 6, tensioned in direction A by a spring 14, is held against movement by engagement of a bent-off portion 62 on one arm of a control lever 58 with teeth 66 on the slide. The shutter driving lever 84 is retained in the cocked position by a release 86 which is locked. Housing 4 can be coupled to the slide 6 by a coupling lever 46, spring- biased clockwise, attached to housing 4. The upper end of lever 46 can enter into coupling engagement with a recess 40 in slide 6, but is not so coupled in the position shown in full lines. To set the mechanism ready for use, view-finder housing 4 is drawn out to its extended (broken line) position, which unlocks the release 86. When the release is actuated, lever 84 drives the shutter (not shown), and also strikes control lever 58 and pivots it anti-clockwise. This releases portion 62 from teeth 66, so that slide 6 is pulled down to position D. Anti-clockwise rotation of lever 58 also pivots a transmission lever 68 clockwise, which pivots coupling lever 46 anticlockwise and so causes its upper end to enter into coupling engagement with the recess 40, so that housing 4 and slide 6 (both now in the lower position) are coupled together. A shutter cocking and film transport stroke can now be made by pushing the coupled housing 4 and slide 6 back into housing 2. Shutter lever 84 is brought back into the cocked position, and a transport lever 24, which carries a pin 22 entrained in a cam slot 20 of slide 6, is driven clockwise, which in turn drives a film spindle 30 anti-clockwise, causing the film 34 to be wound thereon. The film is advanced until the nose 92 of a spring-loaded sensing lever 90 engages a perforation in the film. This takes lever 90, which is slidably mounted, a little way, until its lower end disengages from an arm 88 of the control lever 58, allowing lever 58 to be pivoted clockwise again by the transmission lever 68, and hence into locking engagement once more with teeth 66 of slide 6, so terminating film advance. When the view-finder housing 46 is completely retracted, lever 46, and hence the housing itself, uncouples from slide 6.

Title: Improvements in wireless direction and position finding
IPC: G01S1/02
Filed: 1933-08-02
Abstract: 426,328. Directive wireless signalling. WATT, R. A. W., HERD, J. F., and BELL, L. H. BAINBRIDGE-, National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, Middlesex. Aug. 2, 1933, No. 21695. [Class 40 (v)] The position of a moving craft is shown on the screen 6 of a cathode-ray tube as the intersection 14 of two lines formed by the track of the electron stream under the control of the radiation received from two land transmitters 8, 9 spaced apart. The screen of the tube is associated with a map of the locality. The deflection of the electron stream is due to the directional effect of two frame aerials, tuned to the transmitting stations. The spot on the screen formed by the impact of the electron stream when no signals are being received is rapidly and alternately zeroized at the points 8 and 9 (corresponding to the two radio transmitters) by the application of suitable control voltages. The received signals then produce the visible intersecting tracks 8, 12 and 9, 13 owing to the persistence of vision. As shown in Fig. 3, the two frame aerials 15, 151 are tuned first to one and then to the other transmitter by switches 18, 18<1>, which simultaneously change the zeroizing voltages for the spot by means of switches 27, 26 which apply different control to the electrodes 25, 24 of the cathode ray tube from a potentiometer 28. The switches are operated from a rotating disc 31 and connecting-rod 30. The two frame aerials are connected across the deflecting electrodes 21, 22, as shown. The zeroizing voltages are automatically changed, when the map of a new locality is inserted over the fluorescent screen. This is effected by means of projections such as 34, 38, Fig. 4, on the underside of the maps 33, 37, which close contacts associated with the potentiometer switches 27, 26. The method can be used at a ground station to locate the position of an aeroplane in flight. The elevation of aeroplane can also be determined from the ground by observation of the " error of bearing or " aeroplane effect," or as shown in Fig. 6 by measuring the elliptical trace produced on a cathode-ray indicator 41 by the phase-difference in the signals received on the two spaced aerials 39, 39'. Or it can be obtained on the craft by ascertaining the incident angle at which horizontally-polarized radiation from a ground transmitter reaches the machine. Specification 252,263, [Class 40 (v)], is referred to.
