Title: Improvements in Methods and Means of Producing Oscillatory Currents from Continuous Currents of Electricity.
Inventor: MANDERS HORACE
Filed: 1907-03-04
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 5164. Manders, H. March 4. Oscillations, producing.-Relates to the production of electric oscillations from continuous electric currents by means of an arc shunted by a circuit containing inductance and capacity. The atmosphere of hydrogen previously employed is dispensed with by using metallic electrodes of different character, the metal employed for the cathode being of lower atomic weight than that used as the anode. It is preferred to use aluminium or its alloys as the cathode, and silver, cobalt, nickel, copper, iron, platinum, cadmium, chromium or, preferably, zinc as the anode. The electrodes may be cooled by water circulation or by immersion in oil, and they may be rotated or otherwise moved so as constantly to bring fresh surfaces into juxtaposition. Figs. 1 and 2 show in diagrammatic form a zinc-aluminium arc Z, A supplied through a resistance coil R and inductance coils L, L', and shunted by an oscillation circuit containing capacity C and inductance I. The capacity may be distributed symmetrically with respect to the inductance. Fig. 4 shows two arcs D, D<1> in series across the mains, and two oscillation circuits having an inductance in common. A number of arcs may be used in parallel, the oscillation circuits which shunt them having a common inductance. Fig. 5 shows a form of arc lamp suitable for generating the oscillations. The electrodes Z, A are carried by clamps connected by springs S, S<1> to the pivoted holders. Springs T, T' tend to bring the electrodes into contact with one another. An adjustment screw B regulates the position of the electrode A, and the attraction of the armature E by the electro-magnet M maintains the arc at the length required. A resistance coil R and inductance coils L, L<1> are employed in series with the arc. Fig. 6 shows an alternative form of lamp in which the arc rotates in a magnetic field. To the soft-iron cores K, K<1> are screwed electrodes Z, A of the required materials. The cores are connected by springs S, S' to the pivoted arms P, P', which are connected by springs T, T' to adjustable slides V. V<1>. Blocks F, F<1> of soft iron can be adjusted in position relatively to the outer ends of the soft iron cores. The slides V, V<1> are moved outwards to bring the electrodes in contact. The arc is maintained at the distance determined by the adjustment of the blocks F, F<1>. Specification No. 15,599, A.D. 1903, is referred to.

Abstract: 6039. Hill. J. March 13. Rollers and roller heads for ring frames. The parts are constructed to facilitate cleaning and removal and to increase the efficiency. The underclearers A are carried by rods C which are pressed upwards by adjustable springs D<1> in casings D pivoted to the frame so that the clearer can be swung to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 for stripping &c. Springs and stops may be applied to the casing in known manner to return it in either position. The upper clearer M is returned in position by an arm M' pivoted to the cap-bar L and controlled by an adjustable spring M<2>, whereby it may be raised together with, or independently of, the cap-bar. The upper drawing-rollers F are weighted by curved rods G<2> connected at their lower ends to adjustable springs G<1> in casings G abutting against the underside of the roller beam H, the removal of the weighting-arrangement being provided for by apertures j in the roller beam, which are normally closed by covers J' and through which the casings G may be withdrawn. The necks of the lower fluted rollers are made wider than the bearings K to facilitate the removal of fly, and the parts of the roller adjacent to the necks may be cylindrical and equal in diameter to the non-nuted parts which are made of lesser length to compensate for the increased necks. Collars beyond the outer bearings prevent end movement of the rollers. Access to the lower roller bearings is provided for by constructing the cap-bar L with the grooves to receive the upper roller ends closed or contracted below so that the upper rollers are raised with the cap bars, which are conveniently arranged in groups of five to control four sets of rollers. The grooves are tapered upwards to the centre of the cap-bar to facilitate removal of fly. The bearing-grooves in the adjustable slide N for the back lines of rollers are tapered immediately from the bearing portion, and the slide is also tapered at right-angles to this, as shown at N<2> and N' respectively, to facilitate removal of fly. The roller stand may be arranged so that the lines of rollers are horizontal or only slightly inclined, and may be placed nearer the centre line of the machine than usual for the purpose of reducing the friction at the front top-roller bearings.

Title: Process for Recording Vibratory and other Motion by Means of Flames.
Inventor: MARBE KARL
Filed: 1907-07-09
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 15,803. Marbe, K. July 9, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Registering vibrations. - Relates to means for obtaining a permanent record of the vibrations of a manometric flame issuing from a Konig capsule. In these capsules combustible gas is supplied to a chamber having a diaphragm in one wall, and is burned as it issues through a fine orifice ; if the diaphragm is caused to vibrate by external means an indication is furnished by the corresponding changes in the height and size of the flame. To record this a paper strip h passes between feeding and receiving rolls k, n over a roller m below which the vibrating flame a issuing from the capsule b is so placed that the paper passes through the tip of the flame, thereby producing a wide and dark deposit of soot upon the paper when the flame is large, and vice versa. Alternatively, physical and chemical effects produced by the flame may replace the deposition of soot; thus paper charged with nitrazol may be decolorized. The method is applicable to the recording of vibrations in various instruments by communicating them. first to the Konig capsule ; thus records may be obtained for tuning-forks, and for telephone and telegraph receivers.
