Title: Improved electricity meter housing
Inventor: DICKERSON ADRIAN
IPC: H02B1/03
Filed: 1999-11-22
Abstract: A housing (10) for an electricity meter comprises two housing members which abut one another to form the housing (10). A hook member (16) carried by one housing member engages with an abutment (18) on the other housing member along a generally linear direction. As the two are brought together, the hook member (16) and abutment (18) deform so that the free end of the hook member (16) slides over and around the abutment (18) in a 'snap-fitting' manner. Movement of the housing members away from one another along the said substantially linear direction is prevented by engagement of the hook member (16) around the abutment (18). The housing members can be disengaged by pivoting of the hook member (16) carried by one housing member around the abutment (18) of the other. This arrangement allows for easy assembly of the housing (10), easy access for maintenance and simple and inexpensive manufacture.

Patent GB-191517082-A (GB)
Abstract: 17,082. Batchelor, T. A. Dec. 4, 1915. Teaching warfare.-A mirror, having on its surface longitudinal and transverse lines at known distances apart, is used for instructional purposes for checking the accuracy of bomb-dropping from aircraft or as a range-finder for aircraft. At a known height above the mirror is situated a sighting aperture B, through which the reflection of the aircraft is observed. The height of the aircraft being known, the speed can be deduced from the time taken to pass a definite number of the lines and the position on the mirror determined at which the image of the aircraft should be when a bomb could be released so as to drop on the zero transverse line. To bomb the observer this determined point should lie on the zero longitudinal line. In use the mirror is placed on a large canvas representing the target and the pilot signals when the bomb would be released. The position of the image in the mirror at the time of the signal is then compared with the position previously determined at which the bomb ought to be released. Bv further subdividing the existing divisions the height of aircraft of known length can be deduced and also their speed. In place of a mirror a sheet of plate glass having a sheet of graduated paper beneath it may be utilized and may be mounted in a box with an aperture to admit the hand.
