Abstract: 1458463 Board game J J JAFFE 4 Sept 1975 [17 Sept 1974] 40468/74 Heading A6H A board game comprises a board bearing a track, indicia on some track spaces corresponding to one pack of cards, and a plurality of number selectors for selecting one of a series of numbered items on one card of a pack or one card of another pack whose cards are numbered. The number selectors Fig. 2, also include 'YES' and 'NO' selections. Dice are included. In one set of cards, 11, each card carries a numbered list of personal characteristics and in another, 14, each card carries a numbered list of graded reactions to a given situation. In a third set of cards, 13, each card is numbered and indicates an emotion. Each card also carries a statement as to which quarter of the set its number lies in. In a fourth set of cards, 12, each card carries a statement of its value. In a fifth set, each card is a pleasure or pain card and contains instructions to gain or lose points or advance or go back on the board. Some cards instruct a player to change places with another. The track extends spirally from 10S to 10C and has coloured "spokes" 15A-15E. Each player has an "ego" and an "id" counter. The board includes "psychiatrist", "inferiority complex" and "guilt complex" spaces, landing on which involves payment of a fine. Other spaces are marked "ego trip" and "confidence booster". Tokens are provided for placing on unmarked spaces.

Title: Preparation of condensed isopropyl silicate materials
Inventor: EMBLEM HAROLD GARTON
IPC: C08G77/02
Filed: 1959-03-18
Abstract: A condensed isopropyl silicate is made by heating isopropyl orthosilicate containing dissolved HCl at from 40 DEG  to 55 DEG C., adding thereto water and, as mutual solvent for the reactants, isopropyl alcohol, the amount of water being from 0.75 to 1 mol per gram atom of Si in the orthosilicate, whereby an exothermic reaction ensues and HCl gas is liberated, refluxing the mixture and distilling off isopropyl alcohol.  The isopropyl orthosilicate reactant is suitably the crude product obtained by reaction of SiCl4 and isopropyl alcohol.  At least part of the alcohol used may be a product recovered from a previous preparation of a condensed isopropyl silicate, and at least part of the alcohol reacted with SiCl4 may be the product through which has been passed HCl liberated during reaction of SiCl4 with isopropyl alcohol.  In a typical example, (1) isopropyl alcohol was slowly added to SiCl4 with subsequent heating of the mixture to 50 DEG C., air being passed therethrough; water and isopropyl were then added and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 1 hour, after which excess alcohol was distilled off up to 200 DEG C., to yield a condensed silicate having a SiO2 content of 37.1% and an orthosilicate content of 19.4%.

A refrigerant cooled electric motor has a wound stator 12 and rotor 16 enclosed in a sealed casing comprising end covers 22, 46 which butt against annular ring 30. Each end cover supports both a bearing 36, 60 and rotary sealing elements 94, 126 respectively. In addition, the liquid refrigerant is supplied through pipes 96, 120 in the end covers and distributed by a centrifugal thrower arrangement comprising trough 108 which allows fluid to overflow into distributer 116 which comprises an annular member with peripheral holes. Rotary sealing elements 94, 126 comprise lands 150, 148 which include drain grooves 152, 154 and helically grooved portion 162 cooperating with the adjacent fixed annular face, the helical portion acting to pump back oil which tends to creep through the bearing. The refrigerant fluid is returned from drain grooves 152, 154 to the motor interior through tubes 156, 160. The driving end bearing is a combined thrust and journal bearing, covered with bearing metal 61 and having a thrust washer 66 and a retainer member 68 which is pressed on the shaft. Shaft seals of nylon may be used in cover-plates 72, 79. The distribution of refrigerant may be improved by spraying it, under pressure, over the end windings and into the air gap either by means of a static annular manifold or a rotary inverted annular trough attached to the rotor, Figs. 4, 5, 6 (not shown).

An indexing device for a gear-cutting or grinding machine comprises an exchangeable indexing ring 13 mounted on a spindle 1 and rotatable by a piston 15 having an adjustable stroke, and a second piston 19, for locking the spindle, operated in dependence on the position of the first piston. The ring 13 is attached to the tapered spindle end by a nut 14. Pistons 11 are operable by fluid-pressure acting against springs 12 to press a clutch 10 against a gear 9 meshing with the fluid-pressureoperated piston 15. The spindle 1 is journalled in a sleeve 2 carrying a drum 7 and tapes 3, 4, 5, 6 which produce a generating motion. The stroke of the piston is adjusted by a graduated nut 18. In operation, pressure is supplied through an adjustable throttle valve and a line 30 to engage the clutch 10. As pressure builds up, the piston 19 is actuated to lift the locking lever 20. Movement of the piston 19 uncovers a groove 44 to allow fluid to actuate the piston 15 and index the spindle. As further pressure builds up in the second line 31, pistons are actuated to operate switches signalling the completion of indexing and causing re-locking of the spindle and a return of the parts to their initial positions.
