Abstract: 28,804. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Holmes, E. A. Dec. 9. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power.-In an electric power-transmission system for propelling ships, the motors and generators are divided into two groups with different frequencies working at normal speed. To obtain various speeds, the connexions between the generators and motors are varied, while a further variation is obtained by halving the frequency of generators of the group having the smaller normal frequency. The intermediate variations in speed are obtained by varying the speeds of the generators. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the generator c and motor b of one group have a normal frequency of 75, while the generators c' and motors b<1> of the second group have a frequency of 50. At normal speed, the motors and generators are connected as shown in Fig. 1. To obtain a speed of 67 per cent of normal speed, connexion is made between one or both of the generators c' and the motor b. To obtain a speed of 50 per cent of normal speed, the frequency of one of the generators c<1> is halved, as described in Specification 9048/09, and this generator is then connected to the motors b<1>; a speed of 34 per cent of normal speed is obtained by halving the frequency of one of the generators c<1> and connecting it to the motor b. When the generator c<1> is connected to more than one motor, it may be provided with as many armature windings as there are motors to be driven simultaneously; so that the directions of rotation of some of the motors may be reversed without interfering with the directions of rotation of the other motors.

Lathes.-Relates to automatic turret lathes in which a main driving-shaft is change-geared to the spindle and to a feed-shaft, for controlling the turret slide through gearing dependent upon the spindle speed and is also geared to impart a constant high speed to the feed-shaft independent of the spindle speed, as described in Specification 27,971/09, and consists in a special arrangement of gearing and speed-controlling mechanism. Headstocks. - The main driving - shaft 11, Fig. 3, is geared to a shaft 17 through two pairs of gears, the slower gear driving through a roller ratchet and the faster through an automatically-controlled clutch. The shaft 17 drives the spindle 33 through a similar set of gears to the shaft 26, hand - change gearing 31 to a shaft 32, and thence through gearing 36, 39, hand-controlled clutch 44, and gears 42. Feed-motions, tool.-The turret slide camdrum is driven from a feed-shaft 46, Fig. 2, driven through differential gearing 68 from a shaft 60 geared through a sliding key nest of wheels from a shaft 53 and sleeves 54, 55 driven through idle wheels permitting handgear change from the wheels 47, 48, 49 on the shaft 32 which has a constant speed ratio with respect to the spindle 33. The constant highspeed drive is imparted to the shaft 46 through a clutch - controlled wheel meshing with the wheel 75 on the shaft 11. The type of turretfeed cam employed is that described in Specification 14,601/11. Speed-controlling mechanism. - A wheel 123 on the shaft 11 meshes with a wheel 122, Fig. 8, keyed on the shaft 87, which carries loose sleeves bearing cams 114, 86, 89. The sleeves are chain geared to escapement drums 128, 103, 103<a>, and are driven by friction clutches 121, 90 whenever the drums permit. The clutches 90 have a common spring 92. The drums carry pins adapted to engage with dogs 106 slidably mounted in a box 105, a set to each drum. When a dog is engaged by a stud adjustably secured to a drum 112, it is raised against the action of its spring 107, Fig. 6<a>, and presses back the latch 108 common to its set, to allow any dog that may be raised to fall. The latch then snaps back and holds the dog in its raised position ready to re-arrest the escapement drum. Hand control is obtainable, when required, by a series of rods and bell-cranks 132. The clutch for driving the feed-shaft at the high speed is controlled by studs 135, all the automatic changes being thus controlled by the one drum 112.
