Patent GB-190916422-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Oil Distribution Systems.
Inventor: SNELL LUTHER
IPC: F16N7/30
Filed: 1909-07-14
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 16,422. Snell, L. July 14. Direct liquid-pressure apparatus ; singlestroke apparatus with pistons.-Apparatus for distributing oils by hydrostatic pressure consists of a storage tank, means for transferring the oil to an auxiliary tank, and means for discharging it from the auxiliary tank. The storage tank A is provided with a fill connexion B and a depending water leg D. When the parts are in the position shown, the tank H being filled with oil, the valve K is turned to connect the tank with a water-pressure pipe L, and the discharge pipe I is simultaneously connected to a lateral discharge cock on it above the valve K. The oil above the float piston P is thus discharged, and the space below the piston is filled with water. When the valve K is turned through part of a revolution, the water descending in the pipe J draws up oil through the pipe I to the auxiliary tank, and the cycle can be repeated. The piston P acts as a valve to close the ends of the auxiliary tank H at the ends of its strokes. In order to prevent overfilling of the tank A, an automatic valve T is arranged in the pipe B, so that before oil can displace water from the water leg D the float U is raised, thus closing the valve T.

Title: Improvements relating to the Treatment of Lac.
Inventor: JOHANNES JAMES
IPC: C09F1/00
Filed: 1910-11-17
Granted: 1911-11-17
Abstract: 26,759. Johannes, J. Nov. 17. Grant of Patent refused. Resins.-Fibrillous lac is produced by placing lac in contact with hot and cold surfaces and then separating the surfaces. A hot surface may be applied to a cold surface supporting the lac, or a cold surface may be applied to a hot body of lac. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, finely-divided lac is placed upon a table or box l heated preferably by steam, and is drawn out by bringing the surface m into and out of contact with the surface l. An arm having an horizontal sweeping motion, and operated by a gear-wheel engaging with a rack p pendant from the plate m, removes the floss or fibrillous lac as required. The Provisional Specification also describes a process of washing lac. The disintegrated lac is placed, together with water, in a tank provided with one or more stirrers, and the resultant liquor is run off. The lac is then submitted to a series of rubbing, screening, and washing operations in such a manner that the larger grains are repeatedly separated, and the smaller grains are subjected to further rubbing, the impurities, including lac dye, being carried away by added water.

Abstract: 28,599. Warwick Machinery Co., [Curtis, C. G.]. Dec. 8. Axial - flow type; balancing moving parts. - A marine turbine is provided with reversed drum stages, so that the resultant end thrust balances the propeller thrust. For forward driving, steam passes successively through impulse stages 9, 10, the shaft being reduced on the right-hand side of the former, whereby a left-hand thrust is obtained, and afterwards passes through pipes 30 external to the casing to the left-hand side of a drum stage 26, which it traverses from left to right. The action of the steam on this stage produces a right-hand thrust. The steam then passes into an annular chamber 32, whence it is led through pipes 33 to a second drum stage 35, which it traverses from right to left, and passes thence to the exhaust 38. The action of the steam on this stage produces a left-hand thrust. The various stages are so designed that the resultant end thrust balances the propeller thrust. For reverse running, wheel stages 41, 42 and a drum stage 46 are provided. Inspecting internal parts. - To facilitate the removal and repair of the diaphragm packings, man-holes 20, 22, 44 are provided, and holes 21, 23 are provided in the running wheels.
