Theodolites.-Relates to an instrument, referred to as an aiming- point instrument, for use at the gun for directing the fire at a concealed target, and consists in the provision of means whereby all the required settings are made in the correct planes, thus allowing the checking of any setting without interfering with any previous setting. Fig. 4 shows the positions of the gun B, aiming-point instrument b, aiming-point A, target T, and director O. The director is provided with an instrument such as that described in Specification 13,085/08, which supplies the angle of site of the target T and also the angle 0 B T. The angle required by the gunner is the angle A B T measured by the aiming-point instrument. This instrument consists of a hinged frame A, Figs. 1 and 2, which can be elevated by means of a worm B, a clinometer C being provided to read the angle of elevation or depression. Two pivots D<1>, D<2> at right-angles to the pivot of the frame A form part of a frame E, which may be swung on the pivots by means of a worm F. The frame E carries a rotatable fitting provided with supports H', H<2> for a telescope I called the base telescope. The frame A and parts supported thereby are rotatable about a pivot N by means of a worm L. A rotatable frame O is mounted in a plane parallel to the pivots D', D<2>, and carries a telescope P, called the aiming-point telescope, which may be elevated or depressed by means of the rack Q and pinion R. The frame 0 is rotated by means of a worm T, and the angle is read off on a scale V. In operation, the instrument is first levelled, the clinometer is set to the angle of site of the target, and the frame A elevated or depressed till the clinometer bubble is horizontal. The telescope I is next sighted on to the director, this operation bringing the frame E into the plane 0 B T, Fig. 4.

Abstract: 23,437. Malard, G. Oct. 13. [Addition to 759/08.] Linseed meal; bran; damping grain; processes of treating grain. - In the so-called " Malard " apparatus, described in the parent Specification, for treating textile and other materials with the equivalent of a countercurrent of liquid, which is given a progressive concentration, instead of providing a liquidtransferring apparatus consisting of horizontaltilting plates or dishes mounted below the travelling material, vertical plates or flaps are hung over the material to direct appropriately the flow of liquid on to the material. Each of the usual sprinkling-pipes D is placed so that the liquid discharged from it returns normally through the layer of material being treated on the apron a', to the compartment G, whence it was sucked by the corresponding pump K. Should, however, the float F in one of the compartments G descend, it pulls on the movable flap B over the partition wall of the next compartment containing less concentrated liquid, and so diverts the less concentrated liquid towards the more concentrated as usual. When it is desired to empty a compartment G, the corresponding float F is prevented from acting. The first and last compartments G, G are larger than the others, the first being provided with an evacuation device H, I. Cam gearing 0 is provided for the variation of the speed of the semi-rotary or other pumps K, when required.
