Patent GB-190819297-A (GB)
Title: Improved Process for Manufacturing Pigment Pictures
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1908-09-14
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 19,297. Boult, A. J., [Neue Photographische Ges.]. Sept. 14. Chromo-gelatine and like processes; colouring.- A process is described for producing pigment prints from silver prints in which casein is used in combination with chromates as a binding-medium, and in which the colloidal vehicle is rendered insoluble in warm water by the products of reduction from the reaction between such metal salts as ferricyanide of potassium, and the silver or metal of the print. Specification No. 17,007, A.D. 1905, is referred to. The casein alone with pigments, or such a mixture in combination with other colloids, is placed upon the primary picture in the presence or with the subsequent addition of the ferricyanide of potassium. As an example, a mixture of 250 grms. of pressed out curds ground with 50 grms. of water-colour is spread either by brushes or by means of a roller on a hardened, fixed or unfixed, bromide print. After drying, the print is left for a few minutes in a solution of 10 grms. potassium ferricyanide, 10 grms. potassium bichromate, and 10 grms. potassium bromide in 1000 grms. of water. The ferrocyanide formed by reduction reduces in its turn the chromate, which renders the casein insoluble in hot water. The print is removed to a hot-water bath (40-50‹ C.), to which may be added a small quantity of alkaline salts, such as oxalate of potash or bicarbonate of soda, to clear the lights. After development fixing is done in hypo. and the print is washed and hardened in a five per cent alum bath. - An alternative method consists in completely bleaching a silver print covered with the casein pigment mass. After drying, the print is placed into a solution of 2 grms. potassium bromide and 2 grms. potassium bichromate in 100 grms. of water, and is subsequently washed with warm water and fixed in hypo. The process can be adapted for producing prints showing several colours by putting on the casein coloured masses in the different parts of the print as required, and proceeding as above. Alternatively the whole print may be covered with the pigment mass of the predominating colour, and the process carried through up to the fixing. The casein mass is then removed from the parts that are to be coloured differently. The print is hardened in an alum bath and left to dry ; after drying, it is treated at the exposed portion with a developer, and after this has been washed off the process is repeated for these parts.
Patent GB-190826150-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Shock Absorbing Device especially applicable for use with Vehicles.
Inventor: BRANDT EMIL
Filed: 1908-12-03
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 26,150. Brandt, E. Dec. 3. Means for absorbing mechanical shocks.-In shockabsorbers, especially applicable to motor-cars and other vehicles, of the type in which a vane piston has a rotary oscillation in a cylindrical chamber containing liquid, the centre of rotation of the vane is arranged eccentrically in relation to, and preferably as near as possible to the periphery of the chamber, in order to obtain a greater surface and leverage of the vane without increasing the diameter of the chamber. The chamber comprises a plate b with a cylindrical wall a closed by a plate c, which is provided with a packing-washer e and is secured by a screwed ring g. The plates b, c are slightly recessed to receive a boss n, which carries a sliding vane 5, Fig. 4, normally pressed outwards against the wall a by springs 7. The boss n is provided with spindles p, q, the latter of which passes through the plate b, escape of liquid being prevented by washers u,s and a clamping-plate v. The chamber is provided with a series of holes 8, Figs. 3 and 5, which are arranged on opposite sides of the normal position of the vane 5, and communicate with a passage 9 cast on the plate b. A plate 10, curved to fit the inner periphery of the wall a, is pivoted at the end of the vane 5, and serves to cover up more or less of the holes 8 as the vane moves from its normal position. The chamber is attached to the motor-car &c. by means of a clamping-strap 11, which is formed with fixing-lugs 13, and allows the angular position of the chamber to be adjusted to a convenient position for connecting a lever w, fixed on a square on the spindle q, with some part of the car in connexion with the axle. Apertures are provided for filling the chamber with thick oil or other liquid. In a modification, the holes 8 are dispensed with, and a groove is formed in the periphery of the boss n at the side opposite the vane 5. The bottom of this groove is eccentric with the spindles p, q, so that the depth of the groove that affords, for the moment, communication between the opposite sides of the vane becomes less as the vane moves farther from its normal position. Moreover the depth of the groove diminishes more rapidily in one direction from the centre line of the vane than in the other direction, in order to compensate for the weight of the body on the springs. In this form also, the liquid has free access to the interior of the vane 5, thus assisting, when under pressure, to force the vane outwards.

Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 16,342. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. July 24, 1909, [Convention date]. Frequency, measuring. -A volt - meter M is connected in parallel with a choking--coil D, and both are connected in series with a condenser K, the circuit being tuned so that the whole range of the instrument lies to one side of the resonance point. The choking-coil has a closed iron circuit which is magnetically saturated, so that the resonance point is displaced with any alteration of current strength, the indications being nearly independent of pressure variations. The whole of the measuring-circuit may be in series with the secondary winding of a transformer, having a saturated core so as to obtain leakage; or the volt-meter alone may be connected in series with the secondary winding, the primary winding being in series with a condenser. In order to eliminate the effects of pressure variations, a second coil may be carried on the axle of the volt-meter and connected directly across the supply leads, so as to oppose the turning movement of the other coil.
