The wiper 6, Fig. 1, scrapers 12, and drying-rollers 14, 15 are carried by a swinging frame pivoted at 7, and this frame is rocked to bring the wiper 6 into position to engage the plate 1 as it moves to the right after passing under the inking- roller 2 carried by rocking arms 5. The roller 2 receives ink from a roller 3 in a trough 4. The wiping-band 8 passes from a supply roll 8<a> round tension rollers 10, over the wiper 6, and thence over two or more scrapers 12 above the trough 4. Rollers 13 below the upper edges of the scrapers 12 draw the band downwards and keep it in contact with the scrapers. From the last roller 13, the band passes over the drying-rollers 14, 15, heated by gas jets or other means, to a winding-roller on the spindle 16. The spindle 16 is operated by a free-wheel over which a weighted chain 18 passes from an operating-lever 19. The free-wheel drives the shaft to wind the band, and return motion is prevented by a ratchet-wheel 23 and pawl 24. When the swinging frame rocks into position to wipe the plate, the lever 19 is operated to wind up the slack 'of the band, and as the frame rocks back, a fresh portion of the band is fed over the wiper. The scrapers 12 may be mounted, as shown in Fig. 4, on brackets 25 adjustable on the swinging frame. The scrapers 12 are carried by bolts 36 on which are distancepieces 35 supporting the bearing-blocks 29 of the rollers 13.

Abstract: 17,525. Macdonald, D. B. Dec. 15. [Cognate Application, 5551/16.] In the manufacture of picric acid, the picric acid produced is separated from metallic salts present in the product of nitration by dissolving it out by means of benzene. In the manufacture of picric acid by treating benzene with nitric acid in the presence of mercury, the process may be applied by mixing mercury, nitric acid, and benzene, agitating, heating until the reaction is complete, blowing off the nitrobenzene by steam, then adding fresh benzene, drawing off the solution of picric acid in benzene, heating this to drive off the benzene, and crystallizing the picric acid. In the manufacture of picric acid by sulphonating phenol and treating the sulphonic acid with an alkali nitrate, the mixture of picric acid and alkali sulphate or bisulphate is treated with benzene in the presence of a mineral acid, such as sulphuric acid, the benzene solution of picric acid is drawn off and treated as described above. Apparatus for carrying out the process consists of a mixing pan 1, in which nitration is effected, and into which benzene is run after the reaction to dissolve the picric acid, and a crystallizing-pan 7, into which the picric acid solution in benzene is run from the pan 1 and decomposed and the picric acid crystallized. The pan 1 is provided with an agitator 2, a heating or cooling jacket 15, a condenser 3, storage vessels 6, 31, 32, for the recovery of the nitric acid and nitrobenzene, and a pipe 28 for admission of steam to drive off the nitrobenzene. The pan 7 is also provided with a jacket 16, a condenser 8, a pipe 9 to lead condensed benzene back to the pan 1, pipe 10 leading to a storage tank 11 and a tank 14 to receive the liquor drained off from the picric acid crystals. Specifications 126,675 and 126,676 are referred to. o-Mononitrophenol may be recovered from the mother-liquor from the picric acid crystals by driving off benzene and nitrobenzene by steam.
