Title: Improvements in Shunt Regulators for Variable Speed Motors.
Inventor: STIRK JOHN GEORGE
IPC: H02P1/02
Filed: 1910-08-25
Granted: 1911-08-25
Abstract: 19,863. Stirk, J. G. Aug. 25. Controllers with auxiliary switches; systems for continuous - current motors only.-A shunt regulator has two arms for the shunt resistance, one of which may be left at any desired point and the other must be either " full on " or " full off." The shunt resistance may comprise two separate resistances, the corresponding steps of each being connected together, each resistance having an arm for regulating. As shown in Fig. 1, A are the armature and B the shunt resistance contacts, and C a common contact arm, which can only be left either on the " full on " or " full off " positions. A second shunt resistance G is provided, the arm F<1> of which may be left in any desired position, each contact stud being connected to the corresponding stud of the first shunt resistance B. Novolt and overload magnets D, E are provided. On starting a motor, if the arm F<1> be left on the last contact 10, i.e. all shunt resistance in, operating the arm C cuts out the armature resistance, after which the motor is speeded up by cutting out the shunt resistance B until the arm C is held on by the magnet D. If the arm F<1> be now operated, the speed may be varied by cutting resistance out of the motor field. Supposing the arm F<1> is left on No. 4 stud and the motor stopped, the arm C falls to the " full off " position, and, on restarting the motor, is provided with a full field until the armature resistance is cut out; when the arm C leaves the elongated stud 1, the motor is accelerated until No. 4 stud on B is reached, after which no increase of speed occurs. The arrangement of the arms is such that the motor always starts on a full field, and that by adjustment of the arm F<1> a predetermined speed can always be attained. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the two arms C, F<1> are mounted on the same pivot, and move over the same shunt resistance contacts B. As shown, the arm F' is set to a speed corresponding to stud No. 5, and the speed may be varied in the same manner as above described by adjusting the arm F'.

Title: Colored Photographic Print and Process of Making the same.
Inventor: IVES FREDERIC EUGENE
IPC: G03C5/22
Filed: 1910-09-14
Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 21,410. Ives, F. E. Sept. 14, 1909, [Convention date]. Colour photography. - In a three - colour process, the three component prints are obtained on transparent films of amyl - acetate collodion or other heat - resisting and non - absorbing collodion, sensitized with a bichromated fish-glue emulsion. The films are printed from the corresponding negatives through the support, and are developed and dyed. The films are prepared by coating a rigid support with liquid amyl-acetate collodion which quickly dries. Alternatively amyl - acetateacetone collodion or " alboline " may be used. The collodion surface is next coated with the fish-glue and ammonium bichromate solution and dried under a moderate heat while whirling. The collodion film can then be stripped from the glass, Very low reliefs are obtained, and the finished prints may be superposed between glass for lantern slides and transparencies, or may be mounted on paper or other white surface to make composite colour prints. In the latter case, the prints are pasted face downwards in turn on the paper, and the collodion films pulled off or dissolved off with amylacetate. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the use of gelatine which can be rotted to act like fish-glue in permitting the incorporation of a relatively high percentage of the sensitive salt without crystallization. This subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
