Granted: 1914-05-07
Abstract: 11,046. Pierpont, F. H., and Lanston Monotype Corporation. May 10. Separating and sorting gauges for type matrices. The matrices are fed from a galley H, by a pusher F into a carrier A, which is then rocked by a cam A<10>, a lever shaft, and a spring link a' to bring the matrix into gauging position. Here a pusher E, Fig. 5, operated by a cam F<10> and a spring, thrusts the matrix against an anvil, through which an insulated gauging- needle B' is advanced by a spring-operated cam B<1>, which rocks a shaft B‹, Fig. 3, by means of a rod B<9> and arm B<8>. An arm on the shaft B‹ has a pin B<7>, Fig. 10, to position an arm G' on a collinear independent shaft having a stepped stop G. When the gauging-needle meets the body of the matrix an electro-magnetic brake M<2>, Fig. 6, locks the shaft B<6>, the arm G' being held by a spring brake N, Fig. 10. The stop G determines the travel of the actuating-lever F' of the pusher F, so that, when the carrier A is rocked back into receiving position, the pusher first delivers the gauged matrix into one of three galleys; into which the matrix is then thrust by a slide R<1>, Fig. 3, operated by a lever R<2> and spring tappet R<3>. A disk M<12> with a contact M<10> and a wiper M<11> prevents sparking at the gauging point. The gauging-cam B<4>, Fig. 5, is mounted in a pivoted casing B<20> which can be adjusted by a micrometer screw B<22>. A projection of the casing B<20> plays in a slotted link B<23> having a spring plunger. To allow adjustment for gauging different parts of the same or different matrices, the carrier and galleys are mounted in a frame O, Fig. 6, rocking on a shaft O<1> and resting against a cam O<2> for vertical adjustment and having a bar O<4> engaging a plunger O<9> operated by a lever O<8> and cam O<5> for horizontal adjustment. The pivot of the delivery lever F<1> is carried by a shaft F<6> having an arm F', enabling the lever to be thrown out of action if a matrix is to be returned to the gauging position again. A hand-lever Q<4> with arm Q<2> controls the starting clutch so as to enable the matrices to be put through singly or continuously. An arm g is provided in the stop G for restoration to initial position by a cam G<12> on the main shaft.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Production of Photographs in Natural Colours.
Inventor: SZCZEPANIK JAN
IPC: G03C7/02
Filed: 1913-09-09
Abstract: 20,396. Szczepanik, J., and Habrich, F. Sept. 9, 1912, [Convention date]. Colour photography.-Relates to the bleachout process. Transparent granules are fastdyed red, yellow, and blue, each colour to the same depth of shade, sensitized equally, and secured upon a support by mechanical pressure, subjection to action of vapours, or by a binding- mechanism. Since lightly-dyed coatings are more sensitive than deeply-dyed coatings, the variations in sensitiveness of the different dyes may be compensated for by dying the granules to different depths of shade for each colour. To prevent diffusion of colour from granule to granule, basin dyes are used for dying acid reacting granules and vice versa, and when a binding-mechanism is used to secure the granules to the support, it is selected so as to have less affinity for the dye than the granules. Sensitizing-mechanism is preferably added to the binding-mechanism, as well as to the granules, and in equal concentration. The granules are mixed in such proportions as to produce a grey colour, and where they are dyed to different depths of shade, this grey is obtained by using larger quantities of the more lightly-dyed granules. Instead of using dyed granules, a dyed solution may be emulsified in the binding-mechanism, for example cellulose acetate may be dyed and sensitized in chloroform and emulsified in gelatine. To prevent the various coloured pellets of the emulsion from uniting, sebacic acid is added to the pellet-forming solution, and caustic soda to the solution in which the emulsion is to be produced, so that, on emulsifying, a film of soap is formed around each pellet. The pellets may be dyed and sensitized with one colour, the soap film with the second, and the binding-mechanism with third. Mixtures of dyes may be used to produce spectroscopically-correct colours. It is stated that emulsions which give less brilliant copies when exposed under a diapositive are obtained by making one emulsion with " a great quantity of red and only so much yellow and blue that the three colours fade uniformly; " a second emulsion of the same general sensitiveness as the first with the remainder of the yellow and a proportion of the blue a third emulsion with the remainder of the blue; and mixing all three emulsions to produce grey. The migration of a basic dye from a basic substance to an acidic substance, or the converse, may be employed in dyeing granules, binding-media, or emulsions. Camphor, sugar, or a hygroscopic compound may be added to the coatings to make them more easily penetrable by the fixing- solutions.
