Abstract: 13,966. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Wright, R. July 6. Traversers.-Relates to means for moving wagons on and off traversers used on quay and like rails and connexions, and consists in supporting the traverser rails upon tilting frames. The traverser a, which conveys the wagons from the fixed railway connexion b<1>, b<2> to a hoisting and tipping frame, has two lines of rails a', a<2> carried on tipping-frames a<3>, a<5>. After a full wagon has been run on to the line a<1> from the line b<1>, the traverser is moved until the empty track a<2> is in alinement with the hoist track. An empty wagon is then run on from the hoist, and the track a<1> is moved up to the hoist. The frame a<3> is then tipped by hydraulic rams attached to the hoist framing acting downwardly on the lugs a<7>, and the full wagon runs on to the hoist. The frame a<3>, being concentrically pivoted, returns by gravity to its level position. The traverser is then returned to the fixed rail connexions b<1>, b', and the empty truck is run off on to the track b<2> by tipping the frame a<5> by a ram d, and another full wagon is simultaneously run on from the rail b<1>. It is desirable that the line a' of the traverser for full wagons should be at a slightly higher level than the line a<2> for the empty wagons, the lines on the approach being at similar levels.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Syphon Apparatus.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1905-12-06
Granted: 1906-06-07
Abstract: 25,378. Boult, A. J., [BruyÞre, J.]. Dec. 6. Siphons.-An ordinary siphon B, C, D has a bent tube e, f, g closed at its upper end by a valve and communicating with the down tube C. Water rising in the tank A compresses air in the bend of the siphon, and, if the valve l is closed, prevents the siphon from acting, but the pipe is made of sufficient size to allow water to trickle over the bend from the limb B into the limb D when the water in the tank A rises to a sufficient height, the siphon thus acting as a simple overflow. To start the siphon automatically when the water rises to a determined height, a pivoted tank i having a partition n is connected to the valve. Water from the reservoir A flows into the tank i and tilts it, thus opening the valve and, releasing the air in the bend, starts the siphon. The water in the tank drains away through the hole l. A stop o is provided to prevent the tank i from tilting too far.

Title: Process of Producing Multicolor Prints.
Inventor: BACHMANN JOHN
Filed: 1906-02-23
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 4476. Bachmann, J. Feb. 23. Printing in several colours; printing - surfaces; etching; engraving.-Relates to a process for the production in an ordinary printing-press of multicolour prints resembling chromolithographs, and consists in a sequence of photo-mechanical operations for the production of etched copper printing-plates. Negatives for yellow, red, and blue are taken from the copy in the usual manner ; in some cases, a neutral negative is also taken. Where, as in the case of fancy cigar labels, it is required to emboss after printing, a key to guide the engraver is obtained by making a tracing of the copy in black ink on transparent gelatin, interrupting the exposure at three-quarters of the required time, and continuing the exposure with the tracing superposed on the copy. Chromo-gelatin positives are taken from the colour negatives. The ground and cleaned glass plates to receive the chromogelatin coating are prepared by coating with a mixture of porter, caustic soda, and commercial sodium-silicate solution, drying, and rinsing with hot water to remove glucose. The prepared plates are sensitized with an emulsion of water, white gelatin, potassium bichromate, and chrome alum, and baked in an oven at about 120‹ F. Before exposure, the chrome-gelatin plates are placed in a hot and moist atmosphere at about 100‹ F. The positives are developed in running water and dried. Several negatives of various shades, say dark, medium, and light, are obtained from the positives. For this purpose, black prints are taken from each positive by damping with a solution containing water, glycerine, ammonia, and common salt, and rolling up with black printing-ink. For the dark shades stiff ink is used, for the medium shades less ammonia is used in the damping - solution and rolling up is done for a longer time with less stiff ink, and for the light shades no ammonia is used in the damping-solution and rolling up is done for a still longer time with soft ink. A blue key print is superposed on the black prints, the prints are stippled to resemble lithography, and negatives are taken, preferably by the wet - plate process. One print only may be used, taking the key print, superposing the black print of deepest shade, stippling, and taking the negative, then superposing the black print of the next shade, stippling the extended parts, and taking the negative, and so on.. From the negatives of the various shades prints are taken on polished copper plates sensitized with an aqueous solution of albumen, liquid glue, ammonium bichromate, and chromic acid. After exposure, the copper plates are coated with a thin emulsion of asphalt and turpentine and sprayed with water preparatory to etching with an aqueous solution of ferric chloride and gum arabic.

Abstract: 25,380. Wileman, A. F. Nov. 10. Slipping, preventing, attachments to wheels for. -To prevent side and longitudinal slip in vehicles, a skid shoe normally kept inoperative by a detent is allowed automatically or otherwise to come between the tyre and the road during part of each revolution of the wheels. An eccentric pivot 11, Fig. 6, mounted on the non-rotary axle 3, carries a lever 10 having a skid shoe 9 at one extremity. To ,allow longitudinal movement, it is further provided with a slot 16 which slides over the pivot block 17, and is normally kept in a central position by an adjustable spring 18. The lever 10 is pressed against a friction ring 12 on the wheel by means of an adjustable spring 13 acting on the block 17, so that the lever will be carried round by the wheel. The levers are normally secured against rotation by detents 21, Fig. 2, attached to a shaft 22 carrying a cam cylinder 31 A trailing arm 25, pivoted so as to be capable of vertical and horizontal motion, carries a wheel 24 at its, end, which is pressed into contact with the road by a weight or a spring, and is raised by the driver when not required. The arm 25 may be pivoted to a strap 27 capable of rotation about the differential-gear casing as shown. This arm carries a pin provided with a roller which engages a camgroove in the cylinder 31 so that, when side-slip occurs, the shaft 22 is partly rotated and the detents 21 disengaged from the shoes 9. The shoes then rotate with the wheel until the trailer resumes its central position. The groove in the cam 31 must be deep enough to allow for the rise and fall of the trailer 25 due to irregularities of the road surface, or the trailer may have an horizontal hinge to the rear of the cylinder 31. The device may be brought into operation non-automatically by a lever operating a cord or the like 32<a>, which passes round a pulley and is attached to a slotted link engaging a pin on the lever 25. The skid shoes may have renewable wearing-surfaces inserted between perforated frames 37, 38, Fig. 6, hinged at 39 and secured by bolts 40. As indicated by the dotted line 41, Fig. 2, the shoes may be extended so as to cover about threequarters of the circumference of the driving-wheel. The shoe is only in contact with the tyre when in its lowest position, and has its edges tapered to prevent bock as the wheel mounts it. It is stated in the Provisional Specification that the lever 10 may be returned to its inoperative position by some electrical device. Also, in the case of a live axle, the shoe-carrying arm is hung loosely on the revolving axle, and is provide with a hinge or elbow, the action of which is limited by stops and springs.
