Patent GB-597950-A (GB)
Title: Frequency modulation of radio-frequency oscillations
IPC: H03C3/26
Filed: 1945-04-25
Abstract: 597,950. Frequency modulation. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. April 25, 1945, No. 10448. Convention date, April 25, 1944. [Class 40 (v)] A frequency-modulated radio generating system comprises two valves, each associated with a parallel circuit tuned to a separate frequency, which are made to oscillate at a common frequency by a connection including a wave-filter, the pass-band of which is centred on a frequency between the frequencies to which the parallel circuits are tuned. In one embodiment, Fig. 1, the anode circuits L1, C1 and L2, C2 of the oscillating valves V1, V2 respectively are tuned to frequencies separated by an amount at least equal to the total frequency deviation required. The valves V1, V2 are made to operate at the same frequency by a common connection between their grids and cathodes through coupling condensers C and a two-electrode crystal X, the frequency of which is midway between the frequencies to which the anode circuits are tuned. If the oscillatory circuits and valves V1, V2 are balanced, the arrangement operates at the crystal frequency when no modulating voltage is present, but the application of a modulating potential, which may be an audio-frequency signal or a keying potential, causes a variation in the gains of valves V1 and V2, thus providing a frequency-modulated output. This output may be amplified by V3, V4 or used directly. In a modification, Fig. 2, an intermediate point on each of the coils L1, L2 of the tuned anode circuits is cormected to the earthed cathodes of valves V1, V2 through coupling condensers BP. The grids of valves V1, V2 are connected together through condensers C and through a three-electrode crystal X and condensers 38, 40 to adjustable tappings on coils L1, L2. Neutralizing condensers N1, N2 are connected between the crystal electrode D and tapping points on L1 and L2 respectively. In another modification (Fig. 3, not shown), the grids of the oscillating valves are connected to the capacitive branches of the tuned anode circuits through two band-pass filters, a common terminal of which is connected to the grids. The filters may have similar characteristics, or may have characteristics overlapping in the carrier frequency region. Reference is made to Specification 595,421 to indicate the manner in which keying potentials are applied.

A direct current Idc supplied to the first plate is modulated by the A.C. and amplified. The alternating signal applied to the second plate is further modulated, to produce a resultant output from the plate containing a direct current component and an alternating current component of twice the modulating frequency. The resulting direct current has the same phase as Idc. The A.C. component is eliminated by the filter 18, 17.

Title: Improvements in or relating to manifold transfer devices
IPC: B41J17/00
Filed: 1938-04-07
Abstract: 497,906. Carbon - sheet holders. LACROIX, G. U. April 7, 1938, No. 10667. Convention date, April 22, 1937. [Class 16] In manifold transfer devices for use on typewriters, in which superposed continuous copy-sheets divided into forms by lines of weakness are threaded between carbon sheets secured to a flexible holder, a detachable stop-member, which interlocks with the holder, is provided to engage the platen of the typewriter and hold back the carbon sheets when the copy-sheets are drawn forwards prior to the tearing-off of the typed forms. The stop-member may thus be removed and attached to a new holder when the carbon sheets are used up. The holder 15, Fig. 4, is provided at its forward edge with two pockets 18 to receive hook-shaped members 28 on the ends of a strip 26, which is secured to the rear edge of each carbon sheet 16. The pockets are formed by bending over marginal extensions 20 and securing their lower ends to the holder by adhesive. To the rear edge of the holder is attached a strip 24, which serves to retain the detachable stop-member. The stop-member consists of two metal &c. strips 32, 34, Fig. 7, riveted together at their lower edges, and the strip 34 has a U-shaped portion in which the strip 24 is accommodated when the stop-member is slid on to the rear edge of the holder. The strip 32 of the stop-member carries a pair of edge-guides 42 for centring and guiding the copy-sheets. The forward edge 22 of the holder is cut on a curve or on oblique lines, so as to prevent it from buckling against the platen. A folded pack of copy-sheets may have a number of holders, with attached carbon sheets, interleaved therein at intervals representing the life of the carbon sheets, the detachable stop-member being applied to them in succession.
