Patent GB-2052744-A (GB)
Title: Combined speed and fuel consumption indicating device
IPC: G01F9/02
Filed: 1980-05-23
Abstract: The invention provides a device and a process for indicating, at each instant, the rate of fuel consumption of an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle, which is characterised in that the rate of fuel consumption is displayed simultaneously with the engine or the vehicle speed on a common dial. Speed may be indicated by a pointer moving over a circular scale, by a mechanically driven moving column or by a lit up number display. Fuel consumption rate may be indicated by a pointer moving over a scale concentric with the scale for the speed pointer or over a circular scale adjacent the speed scale on a common dial, or by the change of colour of the lit up number of the lit up speed display. Alternatively deviations from optimum driving behaviour can be indicated by a row of electronic light emitting elements. An audible warning of excessive fuel consumption rate may be given.

Patent GB-2067172-A (GB)
Title: Data card and mailer data match/inserter system
IPC: B65H39/14
Filed: 1981-03-03
Abstract: When correspondance between codes on one or more data cards and on a mailing form is ascertained by read heads the card(s) is/are transported to an insert station where diagonally opposite card corners are bent and inserted into slits in the form. Automatic control means with suitable operator intervention controls the automatic asynchronous operation of the overall system. Each mailing form bears the account number and mailing address of the intended card recipient, and a designation of the number of cards to be inserted. The cards are pre-embossed and encoded, and supplied in number and sequence corresponding to the requirements of the succession of forms advanced in a fan-fold continuous strip through a read station and into the insert station. Cards are picked from the supply in individual succession and transported past a read station at which account number data is read from the card for comparison with the data on the form currently positioned in the insert station. The insert station includes a number of bins corresponding to the card insert positions on the form and is controlled to receive the proper number of correctly matched cards in the appropriate bins for the form. Should a no-match condition occur or if the corresponding number of proper cards is not satisfied, the card transport terminates to permit a visual operator check. Operator controls permit selectively rejecting cards and forms where matching requirements are not met and manual overrides for correction of same and for re-initiating automated operation. Forms with the proper inserted cards are automatically burst from the strip and proceed through a folder to an output transport for stacking in sequence into an output hopper. Sensors monitor various critical functions to assure accuracy in the automated operations.

Patent GB-2074076-A (GB)
Title: Power operated guillotine
IPC: B23D33/02
Filed: 1981-04-16
Abstract: A guillotine is provided with a back gauging stop 40 adjustable towards and away from the lower guillotine blade 14 and a rear support table 10 which is vertically adjustable. Prior to or during the shearing operation, the table 10 is lowered under the control of hydraulic rams 20, 28 in order to minimise distortion of the cut edge during shearing. Upon completion of the shearing operation, the support table 10 can either be tilted about pivots 16 to allow the cut sheet to slide to a stacking station or the table 10 may be returned to an upper position in which its edge immediately adjacent the guillotine is slightly above the level of the top edge of the blade 14. In this mode of operation, the back gauging stop 40 is used to transfer the cut sheet back to the front side of the guillotine for reorientation by the operator so as to enable a second cut to be made. <IMAGE>
