Abstract: 100,704. Graham, E. A., and Rickets, W. J. Jan. 28, 1916. Theodolites; angle-measuring instruments.- Relates to apparatus for measuring azimuth angles and electrically transmitting their valves to a distance, and which may be used for navigation, trigonometrical work, range-finding, &c. A sighttable a, shown in plan and elevation respectively in Figs. 3 and 4, and carrying open sights b, b<1>, is adjustably mounted on a vertical spindle c which carries a scale e and is driven through gear d, f, g, g<1>, i, i<1> and shafts h, from a handle m operable from any position. The shaft h operates an electrical transmitter, for example a contact drum j, and contact springs p, p<1>, p<2>, p<3> co-operate in known manner to actuate distant step-by-step receivers. The handle may be frictionally connected with gear the movement of which is limited by fixed stops o. The whole apparatus is enclosed in a water-tight casing. The sights are mounted on a shaft b<2> in a bearing a<1> so that they may be turned down when not in use. The two positions are determined by index holes a<2>, a<3> with which a pin b<9> engages. The aperture b<6> may be adjusted for parallelism with a telescopic sight, which may be mounted in a dovetail seating a<4>.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electric signalling apparatus
IPC: H04L15/16
Filed: 1919-01-20
Abstract: 141,803. Franþois, P. Jan. 20, 1919. Flash signals.-The keys of a transmitter are adapted to move code contacts into the path of a conducting strip mounted upon a rotating drum and are locked in their operative positions until the conducting strip has passed over the whole of the code contacts when they are automatically released. The signal currents are supplied by a battery or by a generator geared to the drum, and are employed to energize a signal lamp. Each key B, Figs. 3 and 9, is operated against the action of a spring b<5>, and its stem b<1> is provided with a notch b<2> which engages a locking-member h<5>, Fig. 4, when the key is depressed. Each stem b<1> is pivoted to a code contact arm b<3>, and the code contacts b<7> are adapted to engage a conducing strip g, Fig. 7, mounted upon a rotating drum C. The strip g is pivotally connected to the drum C, and is forced into its upper position by a spring g'. To release an operated key after its code contacts have been engaged by the strip g, a rack I upon the drum C engages a rack h<5>, Fig. 4, upon a sleeve h<1> surrounding a shaft h in which the locking-members h<5> are resiliently mounted. The locking members h<5> nomally project through openings in the sleeve h<1> to engage the stems of the depressed keys, but upon rotation of the sleeve h<1> the members h<5> are pressed inwards to disengage the stem of an operated key. A generator D is operated from the drum C, and the code impulses energize a signal lamp F, Fig. 3.

Filed: 1943-01-28
Abstract: 563,197. Wireless apparatus. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd., and NEWTON, G. Jan. 28, 1943, No. 1457. [Class 40 (v)] A chassis construction for radio and like components comprises a box of L-shaped cross-section with means for mounting the valve or valves within the angle of the L so as to be substantially confined within the overall dimensions of the box, other components being mounted in said box within the thickness of the limbs of the L. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a single unit comprises two L-shaped end plates such as 1 and vertical and horizontal plates such as 8, 9, 10 which form, an L-shaped box which may be internally divided by further L-shaped plates, not shown; the material being either sheet metal or metallised synthetic resin. Valves 5, 6, 7 are mounted on one limb so as to be within the angle of the L, and the taller valves, as 7, are recessed by attaching the holders 12 to sunk panels 11. The space below the holders of the shorter valves, and the space in the other arm of the L are used to accommodate components such as 16, giving a large accessible area for inspecting the wiring. Fig. 5 shows two such units mounted together to form a U-shaped unit, with an additional central trough formed by a plate 27. The unit is shown inverted to show underneath members 26 which house tag-boards 23 and cables 24, 25 interconnecting with tag-boards 22 on the individual units. The upper sides of the units are held together by angle pieces, not shown. In a modification, Fig. 6 (not shown), two units are combined to form a U-shaped unit without the trough 21, and may be formed of a single moulding.

Title: Circuit arrangement for range measurement in a radar equipment
IPC: G01S13/70
Filed: 1973-01-11
Abstract: 1409851 Pulse radar SIEMENS-ALBIS AG 11 Jan 1973 [25 Feb 1972] 1471/73 Addition to 1377032 Heading H4D The arrangement of the Specification 1,377,032 is supplied with a search radar to set the first range measuring device to the target range, an input of the pulse discriminator being connected via a changeover contact to the search radar which produces a pulse whose time position corresponds to the range to be set, the search radar, through a setting command, operating the changeover contact and a contact which interrupts the pulse discriminator output voltage. When the target is located search radar 13 produces a voltage UE which operates monostable 17 to cause relay contacts 15a, 15b to change over. Range setting pulses U13 are therefore passed to discriminator 4. As contact 15b is opened device 8 detects no error voltage and operates contacts 9a, 9b, 9c to connect range discriminator 1 to device 3 and the input of first range measuring device 2 to the output of discriminator 4. Error voltage U4 therefore adjusts the device 2 to the range indicated by radar 13. Monostable 17 has an unstable state sufficiently long to ensure that the setting operation can take place. When monostable 17 times out contacts 15a, 15b revert to their original positions and hence discriminator 4 compares the settings of devices 2, 3, a large error voltage U4 being initially applied to device 8. Because of the large error voltage contacts 9a, 9b, 9c switch over to correct device 1 to first range measuring device 2. As in the Specification 1,377,032, device 3 is now slaved to device 2 and when voltage U4 is below threshold voltage US contacts 9a, 9b, 9c switch over to connect second range measuring device 3 to device 1.

By using two bell-cranks 29, 30 it is arranged that the augmenting force on the rod 28 shall be in the same direction whatever may be the direction of rotation of the shaft 16. A hand lever 31 connected by a lost motion member 32 may be used to actuate the transmission brake 18, stops 36, 37 limiting the movement of the arm 19 when it is used as a parking brake. Stops 33, 34 are provided to limit the movement of the balance lever 21, in the event of failure of either linkage connecting it to the rod 28.
