Title: Improvements in turbine driven locomotives
IPC: B61C9/30
Filed: 1929-04-29
Abstract: 334,204. Macleod, J. April 29, 1929. Railway locomotives, steam-turbine.-A locomotive has associated with each driving axle an ahead turbine and a reverse turbine connected to the axle through an enclosed rotary gear train and flexible transmission means, the rotors of both turbines being unitary with a first highspeed pinion of its gear train. In the construction shown there are three driving axles 2 each having a gear casing 5 to which are fixed a pair of turbine casings 6. The turbine rotors are unitary with the high-speed pinions a and the final members b of the gear trains drive the axles through flexible couplings c of the internally-toothed sleeve type permitting universal movement. For narrow-gauge locomotives the driving units may be disposed longitudinally, the final drive being by bevel or worm gearing. In non-condensing locomotives a vacuum is created in the idling ahead or reverse turbines, depending on the direction of motion of the locomotive. The vacuum may be created by the ejector action of exhaust steam from nozzles 7 of the exhaust pipes, or by connections to the vacuum brake ejectors. The nozzles 7 also create the draught for the furnace. The exhaust steam from one turbine to another may be reheated by passing it through heaters interposed in the gas passages of the boiler.

Filed: 1976-06-23
Abstract: 1495029 Cultivating bacteria &c on paper waste C MUMFORD 23 June 1976 [1 April 1975] 13261/75 Heading C6F [Also in  Division D2] A method of rendering vegetable and other parchmentized paper waste suitable for recycling involves shredding the paper waste, fermentatively degrading the shredded waste in an aqueous medium by cellulose-digesting micro-organisms or cellulolytic enzymes derived therefrom, recovering the weakened, digested paper from the treatment tank, as by a power conveyer, and collecting on a vacuum filter the protein-containing microbial mass produced. The micro-organisms employed may be naturally occurring strains from lakes, ponds, rivers, aquaria or soil, or mutants thereof. Sporocytophaga and Clostridium are among the genera (and species) particularly mentioned. The requisite nutrients for the cultivation may be added in the form of a specified proprietary agricultural fertilizer. The nitrogen requirements may be supplied by the propagation in the culture medium of nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Azotobacter). Where enzymes per se are to be employed, they may be secured by filtering a suspension of whole or crushed microbial cells, e.g. of Aspergillus niger. The usual enzyme is cellulase, #-1,4-glucan-4-glucan hydrolase. The treatment tank may be lined with polyethylene. The digested paper after treatment with sodium hypochlorite solution to kill off any micro-organisms, is added to other paper-making pulp in a conventional paper-making plant in a proportion of 10 or 20 wt. per cent.

Patent GB-133356-A (GB)
IPC: F42C15/22
Abstract: 133,356. Semple, J. B. March 13, 1918, [Convention date]. Projectile fuses. - Relates to fuses of the kind described in Specifications 6351/15, 100,030 and 100,046, comprising means movable by centrifugal force from an obstructing position to a position permitting detonation transmission. According to the invention, the means for controlling detonation are movable in a runway oblique to the axis of rotation, so that the inertia of the movable parts prevents their movement by centrifugal force during the acceleration of the projectile, thus delaying arming until the projectile is clear of the gun. Figs. 1 and 3 show the invention applied to a fuse of the kind described in Specification 6351/15. A pair of centrifugal bolts 4, which normally lock the centrifugally movable detonator-carrier 6, are arranged in an oblique runway 5 for the purpose above described. The detonator runway 3 may also, or as an alternative, be inclined to the longitudinal axis of the projectile. Fig. 6 shows a fuse of the type described in Specification 100,046. The overlapping centrifugal bolts 21, provided with columns 22 of detonation-transmitting material, are, in this instance, disposed in an oblique runway.

[Also in Division D1] The resistance to deterioration through abrasion of glass fibres and fabrics formed thereof wherein the fibres are present as a multiplicity of fibres arranged in glass-fibre bundles is enhanced by a coating on the glass fibre surfaces which converts the normally hydrophilic character of the surfaces to one which is hydrophobic, finely divided particles of a solid organic polymeric lubricating material disposed between the fibres in the bundles, and a binder securing the particles to the surfaces. The coating may comprise an organo silicon compound selected from an organosilane, its hydrolysis product or its polymerisation product wherein the silane comprises from one to three highly hydrolysable groups attached to the silicon atom and at least one organic group attached to the silicon atom, which may be of formula where n is an integer from 1 to 3, X is a highly hydrolysable group and R is an aliphatic, aromatic, alkaryl, heterocyclic, an ethylenically or acetylenically unsaturated group. Examples of organosilicon compounds are given. The coating may be of an organo-silicon fluid. The organo-silicon compound may be present of the surface as a mono-molecular layer. The lubricating material may be PTFE which may be present as particles of less than 60 mesh in size. The binder may be a polyacrylate resin. The lubricating material and binder may be present in a ratio of 0.5 to 10:0.1 to 10 parts by weight of binder. A finely divided pigment may present in addition to the particles of lubricating material and binder. The bare surfaces of the glass fibres are coated with a compound having an organic group and having strong anchorage to the surface, e.g. an organosilicon compound, the compound converting the character of the surface from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The coated surface is then treated with a composition containing a dispersion of finely divided particles of a solid organic polymeric lubricating material and a binder therefor, e.g. 0.5 to 10% by wt. lubricating material and 0.1 to 10% by wt. binder, and may contain finely divided pigment. The coated fibres are then dried at a temperature below the fusion temperature of the lubricating material. The fibres may be heat cleaned prior to coating. The organosilicon compound may be applied as a solution or dispersion containing from 0.01 to 0.7% by weight of the organosilicon compound. The coatings may be applied to the surfaces of the glass filaments during the filament forming stage.
