Title: Improved Apparatus for Clearing the Screens Employed in Sewage Works.
Inventor: LAW ELIJAH SUTCLIFFE
Filed: 1908-07-29
Granted: 1909-02-25
Abstract: 16,059. Law, E. S. July 29. Sewage, treating; straining.-Solid matters are removed from the bars of a sewage screen a by means of prongs f carried by a bar g connected by bars h at either end to a horizontal rod s. The rod s is carried by chains i passing round sprocket - wheels l, l<1>. The bar g has a roller j at either end, which travels up between the flanges of channel-irons c, c<1>, and raises the hinged lower flange of a channeliron e<1> at the upper end. The solid matters are cleared from the prongs f by means of a second series of prongs p on a bar n carried on arms of levers m, the other arms of which are raised by rollers k on links projecting from the chains i. On the downward travel, the rollers j are guided down the channel - irons e, e', the latter being bent downwards at the lower end.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Signalling Supplementary to Railway-block-systems together with Means for Effectuating same.
Inventor: HICKIE DANIEL
Filed: 1908-08-17
Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 1 7 , 2 5 0. Hickie, D., Brentini, P., Manzetti, G., and Brentini, P. Aug. 17. Points.-A mechanical automatic system for actuating ground disk signals and for setting in position audible signals on the track for actuation by following trains comprises setting and replacing treadles actuated by wheel flanges and connected to the signal apparatus by rods which may be protected by a tubular casing. Arrangements are also made for holding points tongues when set behind a main-line train to pass a train to the branch until the main-line train passes clear of the section. The setting-treadle k; Fig 9, when moved away from the rail m moves the rod f through the bell-cranks k<2>, k<3> and sets a ground disk and an audible signal for a following train. In order to hold the points for the branch road after they have been so set before a previous train has moved clear of the section, i.e. past the replacing-treadle l, Fig. 10, which through the bell-crank l<2> replaces the rod f<1> and the signals to their normal condition, the counterweighted pawl g, Fig. 13, is arranged to lock the points blade h, until the rock-shaft g<3> is turned to cause the cam g<4> to lift the counterweighted end g<5> of the pawl g. The rockshaft g<3> is operated by the re-setting lever, Fig. 10. The movement of the points acting through the rod f also sets a second rod in position to prevent the operation of the audible signal. The rods may, be mounted on rollers in an outer tubular covering for protection from snow and frost. Tension springs may also be inserted in the rodding. The system may also be applied to cross-over roads.

Abstract: 3082. Wardwell, S. W. March 14, 1908. Winding - machines. - A winding - machine having a thread-guide 11, which is progressively advanced along the traverse bar 5 by any suitable means, but preferably by those described in Specification 3083/09, has a pressing-arrangement, which consists of a bearing-bar 27 parallel to the winding-spindle 3 and mounted on the traverse bar by arms 27<a>, 27<b> so that it can rock to and from the spindle as the thread is wound on the nose of the cop, and by its weight controls the irregularities of action due to rapid reciprocation and oscillation of the thread-guide and so prevents chattering. The bearing-bar either rests directly on the threadguide arm 10, or, as shown, it bears on the thread-guide arm through an inclined bail 25, which has a clip portion 25", Fig. 4, adapted to fit in grooves in the bearing-bar and slide along it and an inclined guide portion 25<c> parallel to the slope of the cop nose.

Title: Improved Treatment of Arsenide Ores and Compounds.
Inventor: DEWEY FREDERIC PERKINS
IPC: C22B30/04
Filed: 1909-05-10
Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 11,073. Dewey, F. P. May 10. Roasting; sulphatizing; chloridizing; wet processes of extracting silver, cobalt, and nickel.-Arsenic ores containing silver, cobalt, and nickel are crushed and roasted at a low temperature, being stirred briskly if necessary to prevent the temperature from rising too high, whereby arsenious acid is volatilized and arsenates are formed. The roasted ore is treated with caustic-soda solution, forming sodium arsenate, and the residue is treated by usual means to recover the metals it contains, or with acid to remove cobalt and nickel, which are recovered in the ordinary commercial forms, the silver in the residue being suitably extracted. Alternatively, the roasted ore may be treated with an acid such as sulphuric acid, leaving the silver in an easily recoverable form with the siliceous residue, while the cobalt and nickel may be removed from the solution in the usual way. If the ore contains much calcite, hydrochloric acid may be used. The solution obtained by treatment with acid contains arsenic acid, which is removed as arsenate of iron; extra iron may need to be added for this purpose, in which case it may be obtained by roasting speiss high in iron.

The lead L of the circuit T is in series with the winding 12 of the core section 10 of the coil D, and the winding 12<a> of the core-section 10<a>. The lead thence proceeds to the winding 18<a> of the core-section 16<a> of the coil E and to the winding 17 of the opposite core-section 16. The other leads for the circuits T, T<2> are similarly wound, layers of insulation being placed between the inner and outer windings on the core 16.

To reduce the capacity effect between the different parts of the windings and between the windings and the core and case, the parts of the windings at which this might take place are arranged to be at substantially equal potentials.
