Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Drying Peat for Converting same into Fuel.
Inventor: FORD OLPHA AMOS
IPC: C10F5/00
Filed: 1914-03-25
Granted: 1915-03-25
Abstract: 7593. Ford, O. A., and Long, J. C. March 25. Peat, preparing.- Apparatus for drying peat in furnace gases preparatory to grinding and moulding comprises an elongated drum with coutinuous feeding and discharging means and with means for delivering the gases partly into the drum at the exit end, and partlyinto an annular jacket in proportions controlled preferably by a thermostat which operates various dampers. A partial vacuum may be maintained in the drum and volatile products recovered. In the form shown, the drum 1 is inclined and rotary, having an internal helical rib for advancing the material; this is fed downwards from a hopper 2, in which it forms a seal, by an agitator 3 and a short band conveyer. Gases from a furnace 11 are led first through the pipes of a steam - generator for driving the pumps of the condensing - plant, referred to below, and are thus cooled before meeting the peat, the drying temperature being about 100‹ C. A thermostat for controlling the supply of the gases may comprise a metal tube 20 closed at one end, where it is attached to an internal rod of a more expansible material; the rod operates dampers 22, 21 for checking the supply and for diverting excess into a jacket 9 which forms part of the drum; the thermostat, by a chain connexion, also controls a damper 29 in a subsidiary chimney through which the gases can, if necessary, be discharged before reaching the drum. At the top of the drum is a flue which leads the escaping gases and vapours to the main chimney 14, but can be closed wholly or partially so that they pass to a condenser 44 through a closable inlet containing an exhausting-fan 43. This fan creates a partial vacuum in the drying-drum, enabling the temperature to be kept low and facilitating the evolution of oily vapours. The condensate collects in a vessel 47 and is pumped to a storage tank 50; uncondensed gases are delivered by a pump 51 into the chimney 14 or a gasometer 52. From the drying drum 1 the peat is discharged to a grinder 17 and thence to the hopper of a moulding-press.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Line or Wireless Telegraph Systems.
Inventor: SHEPHARD WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: H04L15/22
Filed: 1914-09-29
Granted: 1915-10-29
Abstract: 20,319. Shephard, W. H., and McKechnie, A. E. Sept. 29. Electric selectors of the type having a number of brushes adapted to be moved relatively to a number of contact points, capable of being set or electrically connected in accordance with a prearranged code system; are provided with means to differentiate relatively long spaces between the characters representing letters or words from the short spaces between the dots and dashes constituting the characters of the code. A switch a, which is closed by a delayed action or inertia device b, is adapted to be opened by the armature c of an electro-magnet d whenever a dot or dash impulse is received, the magnet being in or controlled by the receiving circuit. The armature also serves to rotate the above-mentioned brushes through a pawl f and ratchet-wheel g. The switch a is in the circuit of an electro-magnet h, the armature j of which, when attracted, serves to move the wheel g by means of a pawl i. If the impulses are received at such a rate that the switch a is not allowed to close, the wheel g is rotated only by the armature c, but if the interval between successive impulses is sufficiently long, the switch a is allowed to close, energizing the magnet h, and causing the armature j to move the wheel g through an additional step. In its attracted position, the armature j opens a switch n in the circuit of the magnet h, which is thus de-energized. The switch n is reset when the armature c is attracted by a projection p carried by the armature c. The improvements are particularly applicable to the selector described in Specification 28,277/13, and the relatively long spaces between the characters may be provided for by leaving between electrically connected contacts sections of suitable width which are not electrically connected.
