Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 25,155. Theune, C. Nov. 2. Sounding-apparatus.-Consists of an instrument for recording the rate of flow, and the cross-section, of rivers &c. The shape of the bed in section is obtained by a device of known kind comprising a pivoted feeler 22 which moves over the bed and actuates a carriage 26 which operates a slide 27 having a recording-arm 28 moving over a cylinder 9 which receives its motion from a wheel 19 around which is a rope 21 with one end fastened to the bank of the river. The velocity of rotation of the cylinder 9 is thus proportional to the speed at which the instrument is moving, and its total rotation is proportional to the width of the stream.

Abstract: 2067. Heuser, F. Jan. 27, 1912, [Convention date]. Pipe-end closing; forging-dies.-Return pieces for tubes, particularly superheater tubes, are made by pressing a piece of tube at one end into two tubular sockets connected by a web and at the other end into a closed cap. The tube in one modification may be first flattened in dies to a height equal to the diameter of the two tubes to which the return piece is to he joined and then placed in a second pair of dies B<1>, Fig. 3, which form the tubular sockets A<1> on a pair of mandrels D.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Systems for the Control of Moving Bodies at a Distance by Radiant Energy.
Inventor: HAMMOND JOHN HAYS
IPC: F41G7/00
Filed: 1914-07-08
Granted: 1915-09-08
Abstract: 16,328. Hammond, J. H. July 14, 1913, [Convention date]. Gyroscopic apparatus.-In a method of controlling from a distance the steering of moving bodies, such as torpedoes and torpedo boats, by means of electro-magnetic waves, the moving body is provided with gyroscopic means to maintain a predetermined direction of movement, and means controlled by radiant energy serve to terminate or modify the control of the body by the gyroscope-maintaining means. In the system shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the steering- mechanism is controlled by the piston 23 of a cylinder 22 connected by ports to passages 41, 42 around a ring 36, which is connected by springs 38, 39 to the hull of the vessel. The ring 36 has radial passages 40, 46 which aline with passages 31, 45 in a shaft 25, kept in a fixed position in space by the gyroscope. As long as the vessel maintains the predetermined course, the passages 40, 46 are kept midway between the exhaust ports 47, 48 and the ports 41, 42 connected to the cylinder 22, but when the vessel deflects from its course fluid is admitted to one side or the other of the piston 23, thus adjusting the steering-mechanism. When the controlling-operator wishes to vary the course of the vessel, electro-magnetic waves are transmitted and cause a magnet 7 to admit fluid under pressure from a pipe 12 to cylinders 11, 17. The piston 18 of the cylinder 17 moves a sliding rod 28, which closes the pressure inlet 30 of the passage 31 and disconnects the ring 36 from the shaft 25, thus removing the gyroscopic control from the cylinder 22. In the modified system shown in Figs. 10 and 11, the steering-gear is controlled by the piston 96 of a cylinder 95 connected by passages 100, 101, 102, 103 to ports 91, 92, 93, 94 in a ring 87 surrounding an extension 86 of a shaft 25 kept fixed in space by the gyroscope. The shaft 25 has passages 82, 83 connected to pressure and exhaust, extensions 84, 85 of these passages being kept midway between the ports 91, 92 and 93, 94 so long as the vessel keeps its predetermined course, but, when the vessel is deflected from its course, fluid is admitted to one side or other of the piston 96, thus adjusting the steering-mechanism automatically. The ring 87 is in frictional engagement with the hull of the vessel, and is provided with ratchetteeth 88 whereby it can be rotated in either direction by the cores of solenoids 76, 77, so as to vary the relative position of the ring 87 and the shaft 25, thereby varying the direction in which the gyroscope steers the vessel. The solenoids 76, 77 are selectively controlled by detectors 72, 73 in oscillation circuits tuned to different wave lengths. The controlling-operator can thus adjust the control of the vessel by the gyroscope both as to its direction and amount.
