Patent GB-191112005-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Stabilising Devices for Aeroplanes.
Inventor: SUETER MURRAY FRASER
IPC: B64C17/00
Filed: 1911-05-18
Granted: 1912-05-20
Abstract: 12,005. Sueter, M. F., and Boothby, F. L. M. May 18. Steering and balancing automatically. (1) The elevators h, Fig. 1, controlling the longitudinal balance are operated through cords i by a lever f which is moved by hand or by a rod e actuated by a compressed-air servo-motor, the valve-rod d of which is connected to a pendulum a<1>. The normal incidence of the elevators is adjusted by altering the length of the link e. The upper end of the pendulum rod is provided with springs a<0> arranged between the prongs of a fork b<1> on a longitudinally movable rod b connected to the governor of the engine or of a wind driven fan, or to a pressure plate through a relay. When the engine slows down the pendulum is forced aft by the fork b' so that the elevator directs the machine downwards. If the engine stops the pendulum is held at right-angles to the natural gliding path of the machine. Should the engine race, the pendulum weight a is swung forwards and the elevator directs the machine upwards until the normal speed of the engine is attained. The connexion between the link e and the hand-lever f consists of a pin f<1> which can be readily sheaved by the operator in case the automatic apparatus becomes defective. (2) Lateral balance is maintained by the pendulum a operating, through a servomotor j, Fig. 2, a lever k controlling an endless cord l connected to the cords m for warping or deflecting the side balancing-planes. A second servo-motor n comes into operation when the machine tilts laterally to a dangerous degree, and controls through a lever o and cord p, the tiller q<1> for operating the rudders.

Granted: 1912-07-05
Abstract: 15,679. Sperry, E. A. July 5. Gyroscopic compasses.-Means are provided for indicating or directly applying the necessary corrections to the readings of a gyro-compass to allow for the speed and course of the vehicle and for change of latitude incidental thereto. Means are also provided for transmitting the corrected indications from the master compass to repeater compasses. The invention is illustrated with reference to the gyro - compass described in Specification 15,669/11. Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of the master instrument with some parts removed. Fig. 4 shows in diagram one form of automatic correction mechanism. Fig. 6 is a wiring diagram of the repeater compass. Fig. 8 is a plan of one form of repeating-compass, and Fig. 11 is an elevation and partial section of the same. In Fig. 4, the pointer 53 is set to the speed of the ship, the pointer 56<1> is set to the latitude, and the position of the pin 51<11> in the grooved rim 51 carried by the element 17 depends upon the course of the ship; the necessary net correction to be applied is then shown by the pointer 58 on the scale 58<1>. This correcting-mechanism may be portable and quite independent of the master gyro-compass, or it may be combined therewith to impress the correction upon the main compass reading. In this latter case, the bar 38 carries a plate 59<1> on which is the lubberline 27<1> for co-operation with the main compass card 27. The indications of the element 17 are transmitted to repeater compasses from the gear-wheel 29, which is part of the driving- gear of the element 17 (See Specification 15,669/11), by brushes 36<11>, 37 carried by a sleeve 36 driven from the gear-wheel 29 by spring arms 36<Î>. The brushes 36<11>, 37 bear upon the plain ring 38<11> and the commutator segment 39 respectively. - The commutator 39 is rotatably carried in a bearing 39<11> and is formed with a concentric gear-wheel 39<1> by which it receives the necessary corrections from the bar 38, as shown in Fig. 4. The commutator 39 controls the circuit of a step-by-step electric motor 60, Figs. 6 and 8, which has successive poles of opposite polarity and so is adapted to perform for one revolution of the controlling- commutator 39 twice as many step - by - step movements as it possesses field pole-pieces, the lap of the brushes 37 in conjunction with the commutator 39 being so arranged as to energize the pole-pieces in single and double pairs alternately. The pointers 65 of several repeating- compasses can be set manually and simultaneously from the small hand transmitter 37<Î>, 39<Î> to agree with the master-compass indication, and can be temporarily arrested by an electrically-operated stop 68<1> while being moved by the motor, the connexion between the gear-wheel 64 and the pointer 65 being frictional.
