Title: Improvements in the Act of Color Photography.
Inventor: BREWSTER PERCY DOUGLAS
IPC: G03C7/26
Filed: 1914-02-10
Granted: 1915-05-10
Abstract: 3435. Brewster, P. D. Feb. 11, 1913, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Colour photography.-A process is described for the production of a colour picture from a single exposure on a negative and is applicable for ordinary photography or kinematography. The light emanating from the object is divided into two colour groups, and the negative is sensitized on both sides. One side is sensitive to the colours of one colour group (say green or blue), and on the other side is a panchromatic emulsion or one sensitive to the other colour group (say red). The blue or green sensitive film is transparent and is stained to act as a filter for the red sensitive film, and the exposure is taken through a yellow filter. Instead of staining the film, a separate filter may be combined with the base, or the base may be coloured. If the films are suitably sensitized for the particular colour groups, staining the front film or the base is not necessary. After developing and fixing the negative, the silver images are respectively stained blue or green and red or orange, the two colours used being substantially complementary. The negative film is printed on to a positive film sensitized similarly to the negative film, and so that each side only prints its own colour group. The silver images on the printed positive are then stained or coloured in the corresponding colours. Alternatives are prescribed for the various details of the process. For example, the front of the film may be sensitized for the red colour group and the back for the green or blue colour group. Cyanine and acridine orange are specified as colour sensitizers. The light used for printing may contain only the light of the two colours for which the emulsions in the positive have been sensitized. For producing the coloured negative and positive, the silver of the images may be first converted into silver iodide and treated with a basic dye which precipitates the iodide, giving an opaque image, which may be dissolved out with potassium cyanide or in an alum bath containing tannin or tartar emetic. For light filters, gelatine stained with picric acid, naphthol yellow, or auracin may be used. To obtain a correct balance of colour, one or other of the colour pictures may be reduced or intensified, or the composition of the printing-light may be varied and adjusted. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the use of dicyanine as a sensitizer, and also the subjectmatter of Specification 2465/15, comprising a film sensitized on opposite sides for different colour groups. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improved Control Gear for Electric Burglar Alarms.
IPC: G08B13/22
Filed: 1914-07-15
Granted: 1915-05-13
Abstract: 16,833. Lichtenfeld Burglar Alarm Co., and Litchfield, S. July 15. Burglar alarms.-A control gear for electric burglar alarms comprises an arm operated by gravity, spring, or other means and impeded by electromagnetically-operated latches at certain positions for testing and setting. A revolving drum or disk having electric contacts and a projection adapted to engage the latches may replace the arm. In the apparatus shown, a pivoted arm A with a handle E establishes connexion between contacts 0 when in the position 4, and between contacts N when in the positions 2 and 3, being held in these latter positions by latches F, G, pivoted at K, separately operated respectively by electromagnets H, J, and adapted, when raised, to press spring contacts Q together to complete the circuit of an electric indicator, galvanometer, testing-bell, or buzzer It. When the arm is moved from the inoperative position 1 into the position 2, the actuation of the alarmmaking contacts M causes a current to Bow through the contacts N and electro-magnet J, thereby lifting the latch G and ringing the bell R. The apparatus is set to give an alarm by a push L, which may be outside the building, and which, when closed, causes the energization of the magnet H and the release of the arm A, which falls to position 3. Subsequent closing of any contact M causes the arm to fall to position 4 and the bell P to ring continuously. Other alarms, such as the illumination of lamps, may be used instead of, or in addition to, the bell P; or a signal may be given in a remote building. A time-switch may replace the push L if the installation is only to become operative after a predetermined time; or, alternatively, a third latch controlled by a clock or timeswitch, or, according to the Provisional Specification, by a remote switch, is provided for this purpose. Additional contacts may be closed by the arm when in its various positions so as to provide for remote indication of the position of the arm. The latches may be arranged to release the arm on the cessation of current in the electro-magnets.

Abstract: 18,804. Whitehead, T. L., [Annand, R. C.]. Aug. 18. Printing-surfaces; stercotype. - Relates to machines for finishing and cooling semicircular or curved stereotype plates. The plate is supported, while being cooled, on horizontal rails or ways 3 in line with those in the boring arch 1. Two perforated pipes 44 are arranged close to the edges of the plate and have their perforations staggered with respect to each other so that two jets of water impinge upon the concave surface of the plate in a slanting direction and pass each other at the crown of the plate. The pipes 44 receive water from a supply pipe 42 having two valves 45 operated by tappets 46 engaged by the plate and arranged so that they are only opened at the same time when the plate is in correct cooling position. The plates are fed to the arch 1 and to the cooling-apparatus by pawls 20<a>, 20<b> respectively on a reciprocating rack-bar 20, which is given a quick feed and slow return stroke so that the feeding, locking, and unlocking of the plates take place while the boring-bar is out of contact with the plate. This driving-mechanism comprises a crank-pin 22 on a gear 17 driven continuously by spur gearing from the power shaft 12. The pin 22 engages a slot 23 in a bell-crank lever, the arm 24a of which is connected by a link 27 to a rack-bar 29 engaging a gear 30 on a shaft 31 provided with a gear 32, which drives the rackbar 20. In the arrangement shown, the gear 32 is twice the size of the gear 30, and the throw of the arm 24<a> is twice that of the pin 22 in the slot 23, so that the travel of the rackbar 20 is four times the throw of the pin 22. The gear 17 is fixed to a shaft 18 and is so driven that it makes one revolution to one revolution of the boring-bar. The plate is locked in the arch by a rising and falling bar, which engages one edge of the plate and is carried by aT-frame 34, which is raised by springs 36 to lock the plate and is depressed to unlock the plate by a cam 19 on the shaft 18 engaging a roller 37 on the frame 34. Horizontal rollers 38 of hard rubber, fibre, or other comparatively soft material are arranged adjacent to the ends of the arch 1 to press the sides of the plate slightly towards each other to prevent the printing-surface from rubbing against the sides of the arch. The pawl 20<a> is provided with a pair of rollers 39 of hard rubber or fibre, and the pawl 20<b> with a leather or rubber block inserted in a hole in the pawl to prevent damage to the printing-surface during the return stroke of the bar.
