Title: An Improved Process for the Coloration of Marble.
Inventor: BELLONI ERNESTO LORENZO
Filed: 1907-03-23
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 7037. Belloni, E. L. June 21, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Stone, colouring.-Marble is coloured by treating it successively with salt solutions, such as a copper salt and an alkaline ferrocyanide, the penetrating powers of which increase, according to the place occupied by them in the colouring-process, that is to say the second solution has a greater penetrating- power than the first one, the third greater than the second, and so on. The penetrating power may be adjusted by altering the concentration, since in general the two increase together. A very high concentration of a particular acid or basic radical, for example ferrocyanogen, may in general be obtained by making a concentrated solution of one compound containing the radical and then adding a second compound containing the same radical.

Abstract: 14,868. Bauer, C., [Maschinenfabrik Moenus Akt.-Ges.]. June 27. Calculating-apparatus.-In apparatus for measuring the area of leather, skins, &c., of the kind in which a number of parallel measuring-wheels are mounted upon a single shaft and are rotated by the material as it passes beneath them, the indicating-mechanism is of the form in which weights proportional to the area measured are placed upon a weighing-apparatus; this is effected by a rack- and-pinion mechanism giving a positive transmission effect and readily permitting of standardizing and zeroizing. The hide in passing between the feeding and measuring wheels a, b lifts the latter and brings its pinion into gear with the corresponding member of a series of similar racks d; the rack moves to the left and thus diminishes the proportion of its weight borne by the beam g.of a weighing-machine. When the detent pawls i are thrown out of action, the bars automatically move down the stops into their zero position as determined by the stop j. An alternative form is described for machines in which the feed and measuring wheels alternate, and the latter have no vertical motion; in this case, the rack bears by means of a roller upon a bar, which rests at one end upon a fixed support and at the other upon the beam of the weighing-machine.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electro-mechanical Transmission Systems for Automobiles and the like.
Inventor: PIEPER HENRI
Filed: 1908-03-07
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 5160. Pieper, H. March 7. Gas and like engines, governing in. In electromechanical transmission systems for automobiles &c. comprising a heat motor coupled to a dynamo the armature of which is in paralled with a buffer battery, an arrangement is described for regulating the admission of gas to the heat motor consisting in the combined action of a centrifugal governor and a change-speed lever upon the throttle valve in the motor admission pipe. In this system the dynamo acts as a generator on light load, and the valve admitting fuel to the motor is so controlled that just sufficient gas is admitted (1) normally to drive the system and maintain the batteries at full charge, (2) to drive the motor at maximum speed on heavy load, (3) to drive the motor on light load and charge the batteries evenly. The beat motor 1 is coupled directly to the dynamo 2. The current of the battery is sent to'the dynamo by means of the starting-switch 5. The excitation of the dynamo and hence its speed is regulated by the rheostat 6. A centrifugal governor 15 rotated by the motor operates the admission valve of the heat motor through links 14, 13 against the motion of a spring 16 connected to the lever 8. At each speed, defined by the position of the lever 8, there corresponds a particular variation of speed between the limits of which the action of the governor completely opens or closes the valve 12. Thus, when the system accelerates and charges the battery, the gas supply will be gradually cut off, and when the speed falls, due to a heavy load, the valve is opened, the maximum opening being when the dynamo is on the point of working as a motor.
