Abstract: 18,001. Orling, A., and Orling's Telegraph Instruments Syndicate. Aug. 8. [Cognate Apptications, 20,051/11, 23,571/11, 1162/12, and 5729/12.] Vibrations, recording; flame marking-action; deposition of particles from gas or vapour.- In apparatus for amplifying and recording small vibrations, a stream of marking fluid is deflected by the vibrating element so as to reach the surface at different points or to correspondingly displace a marking-pen. A rod b is vibrated by an electro-capillary apparatus d, e, f, and its end is immersed in and deflects the stream a which falls upon the record-strip c. The stream a may be of ink to mark the strip directly, or it may be arranged to vibrate a marking-pen. An ignited stream of gas may be used with recording-paper which is chemically prepared to coact with the heat of the flame to produce a record. Otherwise a stream of gas may be charged with coloured liquid particles. Two sets of amplifying-apparatus may be used in series. The application of the invention to electric relay apparatus is shown in Fig. 5. When the stream a is deflected, it completes contact between the arm g and one of the contacts k<1>, k<2>, thus completing the relay circuit from earth at o<2> and a battery m to the line n. In modifications, the deflected stream is arranged to alter the relative resistances of two balanced circuits by bridging two contact-bars at varying positions or by itself forming part of the circuits. The deflected stream may also bring a varying member of batteries into the circuit, and may carry elastic guiding-threads. Specifications 15,853/08, [Class 40, Electric telegraphs &c.], and 9725/11, [Class 40 (iii), Telegraphs, Electric], are referred to.
