Title: An Apparatus for Determining and Plotting the Position of Aeroplanes and other Air Craft.
Inventor: GREGORY REGINALD
Filed: 1912-06-01
Abstract: 12.918. Gregory, R. June 1. Navigation instruments.-Consists in a device for determining on a map the position above which an aircraft is flying, and for determining the compass bearings of objects, comprising (1) three radial sight bars adjustable in azimuth and capable of being angularly depressed, and three radial transparent arms adjustable in azimuth round a central knob which, with the arms, may be removed from the device and applied to a map; and (2) a bearing-plate on which the bars and arms are mounted, having a fixed circular degree scale and an adjustable concentric scale, and capable of being set horizontal. In the form shown the sight-bars 7, 8, 9 are mounted so as to be capable of depression about pivots 10 and slidable round the periphery of a plate 4 carried on a frame 2 supported on a fixed base. The plate 4, which may be levelled by adjusting a screw 3, carries a fixed degree scale 5 and a concentric degree scale 6 rotatable to permit its being set to the compass course with respect to a lubber's point in line with the zero mark of scale 5. Removably mounted at the centre of the plate 4 is a knob 16 carrying three transparent arms 13, 14, 15 adjustable in azimuth. The scale 6, having been set to the course, and the plate 4 having been levelled, the bars 7, 8, 9 are sighted on three objects and the arms 13, 14, 15 are moved into coincidence with the bars. The bearings of the objects may then be read off on the scale 6. The knob 16 with the arms thus set is removed and applied to the map so that the arms rest over the map-positions of the respective objects. The map position above which the aircraft was flying at the time of the observations is then pricked or marked by depressing a plunger 17 carrying at its lower end a needle or pointer.

Abstract: 14,616. Ker, C. A., and Ker, W. A. June 22. Cylinder and like machines; fripping-arrangements.-Relates to a machine for printing from one or more original plates or designs single or repeat impressions on transfer paper, or on flexible metal plates, rollers, &c., for subsequent development into planographic or other printing-surfaces. The machine comprises a frame 2 in which are mounted two rollers 20, 21 carrying worm-wheels 24, 25 in gear with worms on a longitudinal shaft 6, driven by a belt passing around a pulley 9. Beneath the rollers 20, 21 is a bed 38 running on rollers 37 on a table 28. The table 28 rests on inclines on a frame 27, movable transversely on guides 39, 40 by a screw 41, furnished with a graduated hand-wheel 43 which co-operates with a pointer 43<a>. The table 28 is movable longitudinally of the machine to raise the bed 38 into contact with the rollers 20, 21 by eccentrics 33 on a shaft 29. Loose on the shaft 6, but capable of being secured thereto by a clutch operated by a hand-wheel 15<a>, is a helical gear 11 in engagement with a gear 55 on a transverse screw 53 engaging a depending lug 54 on a saddle 44 sliding transversely on a guide 58. Pivoted on the saddle 44 is a slide 45 surrounding an adjustable bar 46 on a longitudinally-movable frame 48, which carries bars 49 sliding through guides 50 on the main frame. The bar 46 is pivoted on a stud 47 and secured at each end in slots 52 by bolts 51. The roller 20 is provided with an index wheel 72 co-operating with a pointer 71. Carried by beams 65 over each of the cylinders are pads 68 adjustable to bear against the ends of the cylinders by hand-wheels 69. In operation, the bed 38 is placed at the left of the frame and a plate having a design etched thereon or transferred thereto secured in position. The bed 38 is then pushed on to the rollers 37 to the right of the rollers. The frame 48 is adjusted to bear against the end of the bed 38 and the inclination of the bar 46 adjusted to give the correct speed of travel to the bed. The helical gear 11 is then clutched to the shaft 6 and the shaft 6 started, whereby the bed 38 is caused to travel beneath the rollers and to impress the design thereon. The bed can then be traversed by the screw 41 and the design repeated, the roller being reset by hand. If required the designs may be printed on a sheet of paper attached to the roller, which designs can he transferred to a lithographic plate or stone. In the case of multicolour printing, the design for one colour plate can he printed on one cylinder, and the design for the other plates on the second or third.
