Title: Improvements in and relating to Photographic Printing Out Papers
Inventor: COOPER WILLIAM FRANCIS
Filed: 1907-01-28
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 2156. Cooper, W. F. Jan. 28. Printing-paper. -Emulsions with agar-agar as the vehicle are applied to paper sized with a resinous material. This combination enables the emulsion to be dried comparatively rapidly owing partly to the quick-setting properties of the agaragar, and the higher temperature that can be used for drying, and to the absence of a baryta or other such impermeable layer. This rapid drying also obviates interaction between the paper and emulsion. Borax or alcohol or both combined are added to the sizing ; borax produces tackiness and the alcohol facilitates the spreading, and obviates grease spots.

Patent GB-190715366-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Controller Regulators.
Inventor: AMBERTON RICHARD
Filed: 1907-07-03
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 15,366. Amberton, R., and Schattner, E. July 3. Switches.-The speed at which an electric-motor controller may be operated is checked by a regulator of the type described in Specification No. 14,526, A.D. 1904, but adapted to existing controllers. The regulator consists of a lower plate a fixed to the controller casing around the operating-spindle, and a cover-plate k, which, when in use, is locked to the controller handle d and rotates relatively to the lower plate a. From the cover-plate k depends a pawl l, which is biased so as to bang normally inward against guiding-teeth f which, together with arresting-teeth h, are formed in an annular channel in the fixed plate a. The arresting-teeth are of considerably greater section than the guiding- teeth, and the pawl is small in cross-section where it engages with the guiding-teeth ; though, to obviate bending of the pawl, the section of its upper portions is made sufficiently great to take any strain the controller handle may apply. During forward motion of the controller handle, this pawl is thrown at each step by guiding tooth f against an arresting tooth h, till freed sufficiently by a slight backward movement of the handle to fall into the succeeding guiding tooth. When the handle is rotated in the reverse direction, the pawl h is drawn over the top of the guiding- teeth f, a portion of the top plate being bevelled away, in a manner not shown, to admit of this. The outer wall g of the lower plate has an annular flange m, a portion n of which is cut away at the part corresponding to the 'off' position of the controller. The rim of the cover k is also cut away between the two projections o which embrace the operating-handle d ; this handle has a depending lug r with an inwardly projecting catch q to engage the underside of the flange m in all the operative positions of the handle. These means prevent the handles from being fitted in places except when the regulator is in the 'off' position. An annular sleeve or a number of projections may be cast on the upper side of the cover-plate k, a portion of such sleeve being removed, or the projections omitted, at one point, to allow the handle to be fitted. A stop s, engaging a projection s' from the cover-plate, limits the motion of the controller handle and regulator, this stop being omitted in the case of controllers which operate over more than 360 degrees. For those which utilize the parallel contacts of the controller for braking purposes, a continuous annular groove is provided in the fixed plate, as shown in full lines in Fig. 3. Or, a spiral groove t is added, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, into which the pawl may fall after one rotation of the handle.
