Title: An Improved Hydraulic Clutch or Variable Speed Device
Inventor: REES EDMUND SCOTT GUSTAVE
Filed: 1906-12-13
Granted: 1907-12-13
Abstract: 28,507. Rees, E. S. G. Dec. 13. Turbines.-A centrifugal impeller of the pressure producing chamber type, which may also be of the self-regulating type, such as is described in Specifications Nos. 4810, 22,490, 26,609, 26,610, and 27,615, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Pumps &c.], or a series of such impellers is mounted on one of the shafts to be clutched and delivers liquid to a turbine secured to the other shaft. The speed at which the liquid is discharged from the impeller and consequently the speed of the rotor or turbine may be varied continuously by throttling or by-passing the liquid. Figs. 1 and 2 show a clutch formed of a pump b secured to the shaft b<1> and having forwardly-directed nozzles c delivering into the buckets d of the turbine e which is secured to the driven shaft e<1>. The pipes f, g conduct the liquid to the eye a of the pump through the valve.g'.. Fig. 2<a> shows a different arrangement of the pump and turbine, which are respectively of the kind described in Specifications Nos. 4810 and 14,253, A.D. 1906. In this case the speed energy of the liquid leaving the pump is converted into pressure in a suitable vortex chamber or expanding ducts, from which it is led to the eye of the turbine through the valve h<1>. The liquid may be discharged from the turbine into a fixed casing having adjustable cut-waters or a free vortex chamber connected to the pump inlet, or it may be discharged directly into the eye of the impeller, and in this case the fixed casing may be dispensed with. This arrangement is shown in Fig. 3, the outlets c of the pump b directing the fluid into the curved passages d<1> of a turbine wheel. By constructing one or more of the pumps with rearwardly-directed outlets as described in the above Specifications, the apparatus may be made practically self-regulating. This arrangement is shown in Fig. 4, the nozzle c being rearwardly directed. The shaft may be mechanically clutched by the claw coupling j, j<1> when the shafts are travelling at the same speed. The discharge passage f may be fitted with a drain pipe f<1> to draw off the liquid when the parts are so directly connected. For reverse rotation of the driven shaft, another turbine l surrounds the first turbine d as shown in Figs. 6 and 7 and may be mechanically clutched to the shaft as in Fig. 5, while at the same time the turbine e is secured to the rigid casing by a pin m.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Calculating and the like Devices.
Inventor: PUGH JOHN VERNON
Filed: 1907-02-14
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 3685. Pugh, J. V. Feb. 14. Calculating-apparatus.-Relates to arrangements of the slide-rule type in which one or more logarithmic scales are divided into equal parts arranged side by side in order to secure a long and open scale. The logarithmic scale a, Fig. 1, divided into twenty equal parts, is connected by parallel links b, b to a member c, which is in turn connected to a base plate d by parallel links e, e. A pointer plate f is rigidly secured to the base-plate d along an edge h, and carries two pivoted arms i, jointed at k, and provided at their ends with indicating- marks m. To use the device, the pointer plate is conveniently placed with regard to the scale, and the indicating-marks m are set as required. The pointer plate is then displaced relatively to the scale by means of the parallel motion, the relative position of the indicating-marks remaining unaltered. The parts of the apparatus that pass in front of the scale are preferably constructed of celluloid. Various modifications are described. Thus, only one jointed arm i may be employed, a second indicating-mark being provided on the pointer plate itself ; or the pointer plate may carry several indicating-marks or pointers. A special scale may be used in certain calculations, when the ordinary scale cannot be employed owing to one of the pointers passing off it, consisting of a fundamental logarithmic scale divided into ten equal lengths, which are arranged so as to form a rectangle. The fundamental scale is then repeated to the right, and the whole scale so formed is duplicated. This arrangement may be varied in different ways. Further modifications consist in employing the usual uniform scale in conjunction with the logarithmic scale, to enable logarithms and antilogarithms to be formed. The parallel motion shown in Fig. 1 may be omitted by using the ruled transparent pointer plate n, Fig. 4, with one or more jointed arms i; or a metal frame r, Fig. 5, may be employed having its inner edge s bevelled, and provided with four indicating-marks t corresponding with the unity points of the scale.

Title: Improvements in Telautographs.
Inventor: RITCHIE FOSTER
Filed: 1907-04-18
Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 9010. Ritchie, F. April 18. Telegraphs.-In telautograph systems of the kind described in Specification No. 24,048, A.D. 1899, line currents are varied by causing the transmitting-pencil to vary the voltages applied to the line circuits. The movement of the transmitting- pencil is communicated by the shafts f, g and rack-and-pinion gearing f<1>, f<2>, e<2> and g<1>, g<2>, d<2> to the brushes d, e of a direct-current motor-generator. The fixed brush c is earthed, and the brushes d, e are connected by the collectors d<4>, e' to the line-wires, so that the voltages applied to the line circuits are the potential - differences between the brush c and the brushes d, e respectively. To maintain a constant fall of potential round the commutator, the relay h, included between a second fixed brush b and the earth, is adapted when the output rises to open a shunt round the resistance i in the circuit of the field winding j, or in the circuit of the motor driving the generator, or to shunt part or all of the field winding directly or through a resistance. The voltage of the generator may also be regulated by providing the field-magnet with two additional windings included in the respective line circuits so that as the line currents increase or diminish the generator field is augmented or weakened. The line-wires can also be connected to the brushes of two separate generators, the brushes being moved round their respective commutators by the movement of the transmitting-pencil.
