Patent GB-189825260-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electricity Meters.
Inventor: NUNNS HARRY
Filed: 1898-11-30
Granted: 1899-10-28
Abstract: 25,260. Nunns, H. Nov. 30. Quantity meters.-A reciprocating electric motor 0, P expands and compresses an air bag B at a rate determined by a valve F<1>, which is more or less opened by a current-measuring apparatus A', B<1>, and checks the passage of air to and from the bag; the movements of the motor are registered by a pawl K<1> and ratchet-wheel communicating motion to a counter. The current to be measured passes through a flat solenoid A', in which a steel needle is fixed diagonally. A movable needle B' is carried by a shaft C<1>, and is parallel to and near the fixed needle when at rest, but is repelled by the latter when current passes. The shaft C' carries eccentrically the conical lift valve F<1>. The air receptacle consists of a chamber covered by a flexible leather or rubber diaphragm B, which is connected with a lever F, over-weighted at the other end N', to expand it. It is closed by the weight of the core O of a solenoid P ; when the inner end of the lever F is thus depressed, it operates a link J, lever V, and sliding bolt T, so that this releases a projection on a switch Q, which then closes a shunt circuit containing the solenoid P. The core O is thus raised, throwing up the switch, and is held up by a sliding bolt M operated by a weighted lever K. The inner end of the lever F then rises, locking the switch by the bolt T, and lifting the lever K so as to withdraw the bolt M and release the core. The core then compresses the air bag, and the operations are repeated. Energy meters may be constructed similarly.

Patent GB-189924622-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Cutting Helicoidal Teeth on Wheels.
Inventor: MONNERET LEON FRANCOIS ACHILLE
Filed: 1899-12-11
Granted: 1900-05-19
Abstract: 24,622. Monneret, L. F. A. Dec. 11. Milling.-A machine for cutting helical teeth on bevel-wheels has a fixed back-geared headstock B, Fig. 5, on which the tool is mounted, and an adjustable headstock C on which the wheel x to be cut is mounted. The spindle b is driven from the main shaft a, and carries an adjustable crank c at its front end to reciprocate a slide c<6> on a circular table c<7>. The tool y, Fig. 7, is mounted in an angularly-adjustable holder, which can be moved angularly, vertically, and horizontally on the slide c<6>. The headstock C is adjustable to and from a vertical pivot f on which its support C' is pivoted. The blank x is clamped on a faceplate k<2> on a hollow spindle k<1>, and the parts are adjusted so that the apex of the generating-cone of the bottom of the teeth coincides with the intersection of the vertical axis of the pivot f and the line z-z, Fig. 7. The tool is adjusted to travel along this line, and is provided with a friction band to move it clear of the work on the back-stroke. The angle of the bevel-wheel is determined by angularly adjusting the support C' by the toothed sector n. A train of change gearing, with a reversing-clutch, connects the spindles b, k<1> so that the pinion is continuously rotated as the tool reciprocates. The change gearing is arranged so that, in cutting a wheel with n teeth, the pinion blank is rotated 1/n of a revolution during a double stroke of the tool, so that successive cutting strokes operate on successive teeth, thus determining the pitch of the helix and the division of the wheel. From the theory of the formation of the teeth as involutes of a circle, given in the Specification, it is determined that the ratio of the angular velocities of the tool and blank should be sin ¢a, where a is the vertical angle of the bevel wheel. A second train of gearing is provided to effect this rolling movement, and is driven from a wheel l on the spindle k<1>. The ratio due to the vertical angle is determined by slides d<6>, d<7> interposed in the train which resolve the motion of an actuating-nut d<8> travelling on a screw e, the angular position of which corresponds to the setting of the support C<2>. The table c<7> and the work are thus angularly rotated at the desired relative speeds. The machine has a stop-motion operated from the toothed ring c<9> by which the table c<7> is rotated.
