Title: Improvements relating to Tele-selectors.
Inventor: BLOS ERNST
Filed: 1909-09-23
Granted: 1910-09-22
Abstract: 21,752. Blos, E. Sept. 23. Electric selectors; automatic exchange systems.-In an electric selector described as applied to an automatic-exchange system, the sender operates by two kinds of current impulses, combinations of which select any number, and in selecting a number of two or more digits, rows of contacts are arranged for each digit, the number of rows corresponding to the base of the numeral system. The lamps 11-88, shown in Fig. 1<a>, are to be selected by the appropriate movements of the switch arms s1 ... s32, which are controlled by the magnets mI ... mVI shown in Fig. 1. In the sender shown in Fig. 1, the rows of contacts 1 ... 8 for each number operate the relays ra, rb in certain combinations, The relay ra rotates the switch arm k without energizing one of the magnets mI &c. and the relay rb rotates the arm k and also energizes one of the magnets mI &c., consequently operating one of the switches s1 &c. The impulses for a number nf two digits are sent by moving the stylus across the contacts for each of the digits in turn. When the arm k reaches the contacts o, the circuit of the selected lamp is completed, and the earthing of the contact o, in the sender completes the circuit of the return magnet mr of the switch armatures through the contact n. A modification is described in which 9 is chosen as the base of the numeral system, and three kinds of impulses can be sent from the sender, two of them being of the kind described above, and the third being a combination of the first two.

Abstract: 11,107. Krause, O. May 6, 1909, [Convention date]. Filaments; filaments, supports for; leading-in wires.-Metal filaments, after being mounted on t h e i r supports, are heated strongly by current passed through them, to remove impurities such as an auxiliary metal, but the current is supplied wholly or partly by wires which are not sealed in the glass, to avoid bursting the seals through overheating. In one method, a detached stem e carries the filaments, which are attached to conductors f which can be connected to tem. porary supply wires for the strong heating, the stem subsequently being mounted on a lamp foot by a pin h, and the conductors f attached to leading-in wires. Alternatively, filaments carried by a stem on a lamp foot and attached to leading-wires are connected temporarily to additional wires, which may supply all the current or be in parallel with the leading-in wires. Tungsten or other filaments containing added metal may be heated in a vacuum or in a gas which removes the metal, for instance, as a volatile chloride.
