Patent GB-190716532-A (GB)
Title: Improved Process for the Manufacture of Acid Esters of Cyclical Terpene Alcohols.
Inventor: ZEITSCHEL OTTO
Filed: 1907-07-18
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 16,532. Zeitschel, O. July 18. Acid esters of cyclical terpenealcoholsare produced by heating molecular proportions of French turpentine oil or the corresponding molecular quantity of a material containing camphene or fenchene, and an organic acid, to 200‹ C. for a few hours. Materials free from water give the best results, and the reaction can be facilitated by addition of water-absorbing materials. The product of the reaction is finally submitted to fractional distillation. In examples the acetate and benzoate of borneol are produced. Valeric acid, butyric acid, palmitic acid, phthalic acid, salicylic acid, and cinnamic acid may be used.
Patent GB-190718744-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Exhaust Silencer for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: LANGDON ALFRED GEORGE
Filed: 1907-08-20
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 18,744. Langdon, A. G. Aug. 20. Exhaust-silencers for internal-combustion engines comprise an inner chamber B into which the gases enter at C and from which they escape through the valve seating M into an outer chamber A, where they are mixed with water issuing through a series of ports H before escaping at the outlet D. The water is admitted by a pipe F to a chamber in the cover-plate E, which also forms a guide for the spindle of the valve J. The valve is normally held clear of the upper seating by a weak spring K, but is forced on to the seating by the exhaust gases when the silencer is working. When a slight vacuum is formed in the chamber B, the spring returns the valve to its normal position, and air is drawn in through the sleeve L to supply the deficiency; but when a strong vacuum is formed due to back-firing or other causes, the valve is drawn downwards on to the seating M and prevents dirt, water, or vapour from being drawn into the engine cylinders. When the engine is not running, the pin 0 is turned until it coincides with slots in the cover-plate, and then the valve and sleeve L are both lowered until the valve rests on the lower seating.
