Granted: 1910-08-23
Abstract: 19,391. Board, A. V., and Ling, A. R. Aug. 23. Materials for making beverages; mashing processes.-In mashing malt grist with maize or rice starch, root starch such as cassava, or pith starch such as sago, substances are added which enable complete conversion of the starch to be obtained at the ordinary mash-tun temperature (150‹ F.). Suitable substances are yeast, yeast extracts, products of the auto-digestion of yeast, malt combs or extract thereof, meat, meat extracts, digested proteins or flesh, taka-diastase, or a proteolytic enzyme. An electrolyte such as phosphoric or hydrochloric acid, sodium, potassium or ammonium phosphate, calcium sulphate, or an alum is also preferably added. The addition of an electrolyte is stated to increase the starch-converting properties of malt in the ordinary mashing process. To utilize the proteolytic enzyme contained in malt, a mixture of malt and starch, preferably with the addition of an electrolyte, is mashed first at 100-130‹ F., and afterwards at the ordinary mashing temperature. The starch alone or mixed with the substances specified may be heated to about 266‹ F. prior to the mashing.

Patent GB-190924517-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Card-changing Mechanism for Jacquard Machines.
Inventor: FICH ALFRED BERTHOLD ANDREAS
IPC: D03C3/24
Filed: 1909-10-25
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 24,517. Fich, A. B. A., and Geismar, A. F. Oct. 25. Jacquards; cards; pattern surfaces. - To change automatically from border to body cards, or vice versa, in jacquards of the type wherein both the body and the border cards are laced together in a certain order on the same chain that passes over an octagonal or other multilateral cylinder, devices are employed whereby the cylinder may be rotated in either direction and by one or more steps at a time, so as to bring successive cards into action or to miss a predetermined number of cards. The octagonal card cylinder a, Fig. 3, is provided with square lanterns c, e and an octagonal lantern d, the lantern e being set forward an angle of forty-five degrees with respect to the lantern c. Three double turning-hooks g, h, i, Figs. 3 and 4, pivoted on a shaft j are controlled through springs k from cards q on a chain r; long pegs inserted in holes in the cards place the upper portion of a corresponding double hook into position to turn the cylinder, a short peg causes disengagement of both the upper and lower portions, and a blank causes the lower portion of a corresponding hook to be in position to turn the cylinder a, which may thus be turned backwards or forwards, the distance of one or two cards at a time. The rotation of the cylinder n carrying the cards q is effected by a hook governed by a lifting-wire controlled by the cards on the cylinder a. To weave fabrics with a regular repeated pattern, a set of border cards laced together in the ordinary manner is employed, and is followed on the chain by one set of intermediate cards laced in the following order, viz., 10, 1, 9, 2, 8, 3, 7, 4, 6, 5. The cylinder a is first rotated intermittently by one-eighth of a revolution at a time, using the upper limb of the turning-hook h to bring the successive border cards into action. Then the upper limb of the tnrning-hook g is used to turn the cylinder forwards by quarter-revolutions, to bring alternate cards in the chain into action, viz., the repeating or body cards 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. The lower limb of the turning- hook i is then brought into action, whereby the cylinder a is turned backwards by quarterrevolutions, the first movement being, however, only one-eighth of a revolution, on account of the relative setting of the lanterns e, c. The cards 6, 7, 8, 9,. 10 are thereby brought into action to complete the body pattern, which may afterwards be repeated as desired. The cylinder a is then turned backwards by the lower limb of the turning-hook h to work the border backwards. Spring pressers are employed, as usual, in connexion with the lanterns of the cylinders a, n. To facilitate inspection or control, the odd and even numbered cards may be differently coloured, and a third colour may be given to the border cards. The device may he fitted to a single or two cylinder jacquard.
