Title: Electro-Mechanical Surface Scanner
IPC: G01B7/008
Filed: 1968-05-15
Abstract: 1,178,817. Measuring displacement electrically. FORD MOTOR CO. Ltd. May 15, 1968 [May 15, 1967, No. 23035/68. Heading G1N. A device for recording the contours of a threedimensional clay model, 12, includes an electromechanical probe head 26, of which the housing 164, is driven axially, which (Y) axis lies in a horizontal plane transverse of the longitudinal (X) axis of the model, by a motor, 74, forming part of a followup closed loop servo which includes a differential transformer, 232, so as to maintain between the probe tip, 226, and the model a constant pressure. The probe head is carried at one end of a probe shaft, 28, running in a housing, 68, which is driven at constant speed, along a vertical (Z) axis by a lead screw from a motor (44) mounted at the head of a support pedestal. At its other end the probe shaft supports a scriber assembly, 30, which draws contours 32, in the YZ plane on a paper sheet, 34, for various values of the X ordinate, movement along which axis is obtained by sliding a bridge base 24 along a rail on a surface plate 14. The differential transformer 232 provides an error signal for the servo by sensing pivoting motion about a rocker shaft, 200, of a link 196 which engages one end of a scanner shaft, 178, through a cam ball, 194, and conical seating, 192, the other carrying the probe tip. A spring, 202, attached at one end to the housing 164 and at the other to the link, 196, urges the probe tip to the model surface, so as to maintain by means of the servo loop, the pivot link at a constant angle with respect to the rocker shaft. A spherical bearing 182 permits universal angular motion of the scanner shafts. An alternative embodiment of the probe head, Fig.15 (not shown) includes an additional spring (242) between the spherical bearing and spring seat (246) so that its spring rate complements that of spring, 202. In another embodiment Figs. 14A to 14F (not shown) the spherical bearing is replaced by a flexible diaphragm (248).

Title: Improvements in or relating to meters
Inventor: BARKER HUGH PURSLOVE
IPC: G01F15/07
Filed: 1954-08-09
Abstract: 805,532. Punching machines. PARKINSON & COWAN Ltd. Aug. 5, 1955 [Aug. 9, 1954], No. 23089/54. Class 31 (2). [Also in Group XIX] Recording and resetting mechanism for a meter registering the consumption of a commodity and the amount payable for the quantity consumed comprises mean for receiving a card and marking it with information in coded form of the consumption registered by the meter and means for resetting to zero the register of the amount payable. A meter shaft 10 drives a counter 16 through a suitable gear train to indicate the cost of gas, water or electricity consumed and also drives intermeshing gear wheels 17, 18 whose ratio, e.g. 11 : 10 is chosen according to a desired code. Pairs of wheels 20, 21 and 22, 23, carrying mating parts 25, 24, of punch mechanism, turn with the wheels 17, 18, the wheels 20, 22 being fixed on the shafts 10, 19, the others 21, 23 being slidable thereon. The punch parts are kept in alignment by spigots 26 and holes or by mounting the movable wheels 20, 22 on a splined or a square-section shaft. After entering a a consumption and cost reading on a card, a consumer is required to insert the card in the apparatus and to depress a thumb lever 33 which cams a sliding bar 38 to the right so that if a suitable card is correctly positioned a hole therein allows the bar 38 to slide therethrough. The card checks the movement of a sleeve 42 which rocks a clutch 45 pivoted on the bar 38 so that continued movement of the bar 38 rocks an arm 29 and causes fingers 27 to shift the wheels 21, 23 against springs 54 to punch holes in positions representing consumption in the chosen code. Rocking the arm 29 to cause punching also drives bevel gearing 31 to zeroize the cost counter 16 through one-way drive mechanism. Neither zeroizing nor punching can occur unless a suitable card is correctly positioned: a slot in the card co-operates with a peg to guide the card to correct position. If the thumb lever 33 is operated in the absence of a card relative movement between the sleeve 42 and bar 38 to cause punching and zeroizing cannot occur since a card backing plate has a hole large enough to allow the sleeve 42 to pass therethrough. A spring 41 co-operates with a rack 40 to prevent backward movement of the thumb lever 33 until it has been fully operated.

Filed: 1925-09-19
Abstract: 263,221. Lanhoffer, I. E. Sept. 19, 1925. Cements, Portland, processes and apparatus for making. - Cement raw materials are introduced into the furnace in the form of very small bodies, previously freed from dust, of uniform dimensions and of a shape which facilitates rolling of the bodies over one another. For example, the plastic raw mixture may be extruded from nozzles 1, Fig. 1, on to a conveyer 2 which passes it between indented rollers 4, 5 which initiate the breaking up of the sheet of material, the complete separation of which takes place as the material subsequently falls from the conveyor 9 into a rotary drum which causes the granules to adopt a spherical form. Alternatively the rollers may be dispensed with and the conveyer 2 provided with cutting plates fixed perpendicularly to its surface to subdivide the material. In another modification the raw materials in the form of paste are squirted through perforations P, Fig. 5, into a space F traversed by hot gases, with the formation of strings which break up under their own weight into short cylinders. These may be passed through a rotary drier heated by the kiln gases as described in Specification 240,161, [Class 51 (ii), Furnaces and kilns for applying &c.], and subsequently through a rotary screen for the removal of dust.

Patent GB-834331-A (GB)
Title: Thiophosphoric acid esters and their production
IPC: C07F9/165
Filed: 1957-07-26
Abstract: The invention comprises thiophosphoric acid esters of the general formula <FORM:0834331/IV (b)/1> wherein R is an alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl radical, R1 is C1-C4 aliphatic radical and X is oxygen or sulphur, at least one X being sulphur, The products in the case when they are thionophosphates may be obtained by reacting chloralsemimercaptals (Cl3CCH(SR)OH) with appropriate O,O-dialiphatic thionophosphoric acid halides or by reacting the said chloral-semimercaptals with O,O-dialiphatic phosphorous acid halides and then reacting the phosphites obtained with sulphur. The reaction with the acid halide is preferably effected at room temperature or at slightly elevated temperature in the presence of an acid binding agent such as pyridine, dimethylaniline or triethylamine and in the presence of an inert solvent, e.g. p  benzene, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone or acetone.  The above described reaction with sulphur can be carried out without isolating the intermediate product.  This reaction proceeds exothermally but when nearly concluded may be finally completed by warming the mixture.  When the products are thiol- or thionothiol phosphoric acid esters they may be obtained from the chlorides corresponding to the semimercaptals (i.e. from compounds of the formula Cl3CCH (SR)Cl) by reacting them with alkali metal or ammonium salts of O,O-dialiphatic thiol- or -thionothiol phosphoric acid esters.  This reaction may also be carried out in one of the above specified solvents.  Examples are given for the production of compounds of the general formula Cl3CCH(SR)OP(S)(OC2H5)2 wherein R is C2H5, phenyl, p-chlorophenyl, 3,4-dichlophenyl, n-propyl, and cyclohexyl respectively and of the compounds (C2H5O)2P(O)SCH (CCl3)SC2H5, (C2H5O)2P(S)SCH(CCl3)SC2H5, (CH3O)2P(S)SCH(CCl3)SC2H5, (C2H5O)2P(O) SCH(CCl3)SC6H11, and (C2H5O)2P(O)SCH (CCl3)SC3H7.  The products are valuable insecticides (see Group VI).ALSO:An insecticidal composition comprises as active ingredient a thiophosphoric acid ester of the general formula <FORM:0834331/VI/1> wherein R is an alkyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl radical, R1 is a C1-C4 aliphatic radical, and X is oxygen or sulphur, at least one X being sulphur (see Group IV (b)) and a solid or liquid carrier.  Specified carriers are talc, bentonite, water, alcohols, and liquid hydrocarbons.  Known insecticides or pesticides may also be present.  A suitable composition is obtained by adding dimethyl formamide to a compound of the formula Cl3C.CH(SC2H5).P(O)S(OC2H5)2, then adding a commercial emulsifier, e.g. benzyl hydroxy diphenyl polyglycol ether, and finally diluting the mixture with water.
