Lathes.-Relates to a machine for accurately placing and turning the pins and eccentrics of multiple-throw crank shafts, such as those used in torpedo and other small vessels. The shaft a is clamped in standards b, adjustable in a groove in the table c, and is angularly set by means of a clamped arm b<2> on it engaging between two setscrews 1. A head d, carrying a rotating cutter ring g, is vertically adjustable on a column e and is balanced by a weight h. A vertically-adjustable post 34 checks vibration of the head. The column is transversely movable on a carriage f, which is longitudinally movable on the bed. The cone-shaft 31 has fast and loose pulleys to receive a belt 28, which passes over guide-pulleys on the carriage to drive the cutter ring through a vertical shaft i, and also, if desired, drives a set of change-gears r imparting rotation to a screw t which traverses the carriage f. The screw t engages a nut in a head o, which is clamped in a groove in the bed when the power feed is in use, but is released, if the carriage is to be moved rapidly, by a hand ratchet n and rack and pinion gearing. The carriage may have a hand feed given to it by a wheel u. Portions d<1>, g<1> of the head and ring respectively are removable, so that the ring may be placed concentrically round the shaft. The cutter slide is moved radially in the ring by a hand-wheel 60, and carries a tool 12, which is available for turning the pin or facing the cheeks or faces of the cranks or eccentrics. Scales 43, 44 and a vernier on the screw for transversely moving the column allow the ring to be set accurately vertically, and in two directions horizontally, to act on the pin &c. More than one carriage &c. may be mounted on the bed, so that two cranks may be turned simultaneously.

Patent GB-190213176-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Mechanism for Playing Musical Instruments.
Filed: 1902-06-10
Granted: 1903-01-15
Abstract: 13,176. Lake, H. H., [Aeolian Co.]. June 10. Automatic instruments.-Relates to means for playing keyboard instruments mechanically, and consists of means for providing piano and forte effects and for accenting individual notes. Key stickers S are operated by pneumatics G<1>, which are controlled by primary pneumatics G, these last being controlled in turn by a tune-sheet and tracker board. The tune-sheet is driven by a suction motor, and passes between rollers I<2>, I', to the former of which it may be permanently attached at one end. The vacuum, which operates all the parts, is produced by bellows B, at the back of which is a wind-chest D. The wind-chest D communicates with four equalizing-bellows E', E<2>. E<3>, E<4>, the last of which operates the motor. The two first communicate freely with the wind-chest, and provide vacuums of high but different tensions, which are regulated by springs. E<3> is a low-tension equalizer, which communicates with the wind-chest D through a valve J arranged so as to close when the equalizer collapses. The primary pneumatics are fed from a chamber F, which communicates with the wind-chest D through openings d<6>, d<5>, the latter of which is an ordinary one for regulating the pressure and is governed by a valve. The chamber F also communicates with the low-tension equalizer E<3> through openings d<5> and a windtrunk D<1>. The openings d<5>, d<6> are situated in separate valve-chests d<2>, d', and are controlled by grid valves K<1>, K', which are connected together so that, when one is open, the other is closed. The valves are actuated by a special motor consisting of two bellows, the valves of which are controlled by a second bellows. this last one being operated by a push. The admission of wind to the primary pneumatics is thus under complete control. The note-sheet is made so that the perforations corresponding to accented notes are slightly in rear of these belonging to other notes of the same chord. These last-mentioned notes are therefore uncovered first. The push above mentioned is then actuated, so that a high-tension vacuum is brought into action. This causes a rapid actuation of the parts so that the accented note sounds simultaneously with the others, though its action was started rather later.

Title: Improvements in & connected with Telephone Connections on the Party Line System.
Inventor: OPPENHEIMER HERMANN
Filed: 1902-06-19
Granted: 1903-06-19
Abstract: 13,914. Oppenheimer, H., [Akt.-Ges. Mix & Genest]. June 19. Telephones; telephone systems.-Relates to partyline working in connection with telephone exchanges, also among the members of the party line with or without the intervention of the exchange and, when desired, with other subscribers not connected with the exchange. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement of a number of subscribers on a party line L<1>, L<2> provided with means for communicating without the exchange and also with others not on the exchange. The selective principle involved consists in providing each subscriber with a bell operated only by a current of predetermined strength and direction, and by providing the exchange operator with a number of keys capable of sending out calling-currents suitably graduated as regards strength and direction. The bells at the various subscribers are arranged in series in a branch line L<3> from the line L<1> and passing through the switch levers of each subscriber. Each bell has also a neutralizing-coil of particular value on the same core, arranged in circuit with the bell armature P and local battery LB, so that all the bell armatures will be held up when a call is sent from the exchange, excepting at the station of the subscriber wanted, where the correct balance of the currents will cause the bell to ring. Each bell has also a third coil R for operating an engaged indicator and for controlling the telephone connections. The coils R are arranged in series at the various subscribers' stations by means of the line L<6>. Each subscriber has a clearing-out signal-key, and has the switch lever provided with a number of insulated contacts. The switch lever is provided with a detent lever u, which not only retains the lever in its depressed position, but at the same time closes a local circuit through the microphone M. The detent lever u is employed when any pair of subscribers on a party line wish to communicate without calling through the exchange. For this purpose, the receiver circuit is branched to a plug cord, and is provided with a calling-key T. Each subscriber has a series of jacks connected to private lines either for the members of the party line or for others not on the exchange. When these private lines are omitted, two subscribers on one party line can only communicate by one calling up the exchange, the exchange then notifying the second ; for this purpose an extra switch is inserted in line X. Any pair of subscribers on one line can talk without interfering with a subscriber talking through the exchange, except at the moment of making the call.
