In a gas chromatography system the position of a recording pen 0, Fig. 1, is converted into a corresponding amplitude significant voltage which signal is then converted into a frequency significant pulse train, by a frequency modulator, demodulator and shaper 2, 3, 4, the pulses of which are then counted 5 so as to produce a count representing the integral of the input displacement with respect to time. The contents of the counter 5 are transferred to relay stores 8 1  to 8p via a switching arrangement 6, 7, at appropriate times, so that each store records data relating to a single gas constituent. The outputs from the stores may be used for any purpose for example in a computer 12 for computing the calorific value of the gas mixture being analysed. In a modification (Figs. 2 and 4 not shown) a capacitor is charged to a level corresponding to the maximum displacement of the pen which charge is then digitised and stored by integrating, with the circuit shown in Fig. 1, the voltage across the capacitor as it discharges through a known resistor.

Title: Torque Transmitting Mechanism in an Axial Piston Type Hydraulic Power Transmission Unit
Inventor: PAGE WALTER HERBERT
IPC: F16H39/10
Filed: 1967-01-11
Abstract: 1,160,841. Hydrostatic transmissions. INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO. 11 Jan., 1967. No. 1541/67. Headings F2C and F2U. The transmission of transverse forces between a rotatable drive device coupled to the cylinder block of an hydraulic swash plate power transmission unit is substantially prevented by providing a coupling of the Hooke's type between the drive device and the cylinder block. A cylinder block 27 (or 27<SP>1</SP>) of an axial piston hydraulic pump 19 is rotatable by a bellshaped drive member 35 connected to an input shaft 12, flow of hydraulic fluid to and from axial pistons 28, 29 being controlled by a valve plate 36 which rotates with an output shaft 13 and which slidably engages the inner faces of the cylinder block 27 and a motor cylinder block 21. For coupling the block 27 and the drive member 35 a torque transmitting means 46 comprises an annular member 60 provided between an annular member 47 and an annular member 52. The member 47 is rigid with the block 27 and the member 52 is rigid with the drive member 35. Torque is transmitted by the engagement of pin assemblies 54, 55, 63, 64 in corresponding grooves in the annular members but grooves 50, 51 in the annular member 47 are larger than the diameter of pins 54, 55 so that there is no direct drive between the member 35 and the block 27. Resilient sleeves (57, 68), Figs. 5, 6, (not shown), form part of the pin assemblies. By avoiding transmission to the cylinder block 27 of transverse forces, e.g. forces due to dynamic unbalance, occurring in the drive member 35 the transmission means 46 substantially eliminates leakage of fluid under pressure at the interface 38 between the block 27 and the valve plate 36. A pair of hydraulic rams 32, 33 carried by the output shaft 13 permit control of the angle of inclination of the pump swash plate 30. A swash plate (not shown) of the motor is controlled by rams 24, 25.

Title: Improvements in tool-holders for lathes and other metal cutting mechanisms
IPC: B23B29/034
Filed: 1943-02-08
Abstract: 559,442. Turning, boring &c. tools. AUSTIN & LANG, Ltd., LUNZER, R. D., LUNZER, J., and MAIER, A. Feb. 8, 1943, No. 2034. [Class 83 (iii)] In micrometrically-adjustable cutting tools for lathes, boring and milling machines &c. the cutter is adjusted relatively to a body by a member operable from the side remote from the cutting edge to effect the adjustment and clamp the cutter in the adjustable element. In one form the cutter 1, which may be diamond tipped, is clamped within a sleeve 6 by a draw bolt 12 screwing therein. A screwed end 11 on the sleeve engages a nut 15 rotatably secured in the body A by a nut and lock nut 26 and provided with scale divisions on its outer face 29. The sleeve 6 is clamped in position after adjustment by the nut 15 by a screw 31 engaging a flat 33 thereon. In a modification the surface 21 of the nut is conical to engage a similar recess in the body A, and in other modifications the nut is held in a cylindrical or conical recess in the body by an outer screwed ring engaging a shoulder thereon. In a further modification the nut 43, Fig. 3, is secured by a nut and locking washer 45 in a bearing 51 which carries a zero mark or vernier reading against the scale on the nut, and is secured in a chambered recess 53 or a parallel hole 107 in the body A by a screw 108 and an axial key. Ingress of cuttings may be prevented by the close fitting end of the sleeve 6 in the nut 15, the head of the draw bolt 12 or by a removable cap screwing in an enlarged recess of the nut. If the body 65, Fig. 6, is too small to accommodate the adjusting devices a block 64 may be temporarily secured thereto by straps 66 and a screw 67. A pin 71 is screwed at 72 in the end of the cutter 70 and is clamped by a draw bolt 83 with its conical surface engaging a sleeve 77 keyed at 78 in a rotatable bearing 73. The graduated nut 80 is rotatably secured within the bearing and engages a thread on the sleeve 77. To adjust the cutter, the pin 71 is engaged therein, the block 64 is clamped to the body 65 and the bearing 73 is clamped in the block by a radial set screw whilst the sleeve 77 is free. Rotation of the nut 80 will then adjust the protrusion of the cutter from the body 65. To alter the rake of the cutting edge without affecting the protrusion, the clamping screw of the bearing 73 is released, the sleeve 77 clamped to the block by another screw, and the draw bolt 83 loosened to release the pin 71 from the sleeve 77. The cutter may then be rotated by the bolt 83 whereupon tightening of the latter will restore the cutter to the same protruding position in which it may be clamped in the body 65, and the block 64 then removed.
