Granted: 1899-04-08
Abstract: 15,573. Landauer, I. July 15. Making metal paper.-To make metal paper, a cathode is formed of a plate of brass or alpacca (silvered German silver) carefully polished and freed from grease on each side. The plate is well rinsed, and hung in a bath consisting of a dilute solution of sodium sulphantimoniate. After a coating of antimony has been deposited, the plate is transferred to a copper bath, and a coating of copper deposited. It is then removed and dried, after which a covering of paper, cardboard, linen, or the like is glued or cemented on. Finally, the edges are filed, and the metallic coatings and their backing stripped off. According to the length of time the antimony was depositing, so the finished surface will show the colour of antimony or that of the highly-polished copper beneath.

The lever is transferred from pin to pin to produce the bends shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The pins may be balanced on cords passing over pulleys on an overhead shaft, and the lever may be operated by a cord attached to a drum, driven in either direction by worm. gearing and reversing-pulleys. The pins A<1> may be carried by adjustable plates.

Title: Improvements applicable to Steering and like Engines.
Inventor: ALLEY STEPHEN EVANS
Filed: 1901-05-04
Granted: 1902-03-20
Abstract: 9241. Alley, S. E., and Risk, R. May 4. Steering-gear.-The object is to prevent or reduce waste from leakage of steam past the controlling-valve when the engine is not working. This is accomplished by the use of one or more stop valves in the exhaust passage from the controlling- valve casing, such valve casing being always closed when the engine is at rest, but always being opened whenever the controlling-valve is moved either one way or the other. Fig. 1 shows a form in which only one exhaust stop valve is used. The exhaust valve A has a pilot or equilibrating valve V, and the one valve is opened after the other by a rise of the rod F. This rod is caused to rise, whichever way the controlling-valve is moved, through the medium of the connecting-link T, levers R, N, and double cam U. In another form, the cam is actuated by toothed sectors, and in another, two exhaust valves are used, one or other being opened, according to the way in which the controlling- valve is moved.

Title: Improvements relating to the Automatic Operation of Signals for Level Crossings and the like.
Inventor: SPOONER ARTHUR FREEMORE
Filed: 1901-07-29
Granted: 1902-06-19
Abstract: 15,350. Spooner, A. F., [SÚmat, L.]. July 29. Crossing-gate signals.-Signals for level and similar crossings are operated automatically by the movements of the crossing-gates, so that the ' line 'clear' signal for the railway track is given only when the gates are fully closed against the crossing, and the ' clear' signal for the roadway is given only when the gates are fully open. In all other conditions of the gates, both signals show danger.' Fig. 1 shows the arrangement for crossing-gates mounted on runners. The signal arm c and lamp f for the railway track, and the signal arm d and lamp g for the roadway, are mounted on one of the supports e of the gate. The signal arms and the red spectacles h, i of the lamps are connected by rods k, l to the bell-crank levers o, p, the arms q, r of which are provided with rollers and bear on the band j on the gate a. The rods k, l are also connected by linkage u, v, x, y to a similar arrangement of levers bearing on the band j of the gate b. The bands j of both gates are formed with inclines s, t at each end. In the position shown, both gates are closed, the levers q rest on the inclines s, and the signal c and spectacle hare lowered, to show 'line clear' for the railway track. If either of the gates be moved from the closed position, the lever q rises up the incline s on to the horizontal part of the band j, and puts the signal c and spectacle h to danger.' The signal d and spectacle i for the roadway are lowered to show clear' only when both the gates are fully opened, the levers r then falling on the inclines t. For swinging gates, the bands j are formed as sectors, and arranged around the posts on which the gates are pivoted, the rods k, l being connected directly to the levers q, r. The signal arms c, d may be replaced by revoluble discs, and the signals may be repeated at any required distance from the crossing.
