Title: Improvements in machines for cutting out index spaces in account and other books
IPC: B26D3/14
Filed: 1921-04-15
Abstract: 173,715. Corfe, W. April 15, 1921. Cutting stepped indexes.-In a machine for cutting-out index-spaces in books, an arrangement for obtaining a variable intermittent feed of the worktable comprises an arm 17, pivoted on a pin 37 to the frame of the machine, and having adjustably secured on it a slide carrying a roller 18 which co-operates with an extension 19 of the table. Turning in one with the arm 17 is a ratchet quadrant 20 actuated on the up-stroke of a treadle by a spring-held pawl 21 driven through links which allow lost motion to enable the cutter before actuation to rise clear of the paper. Work-clamping means comprising a bar locked by a connected bell-crank passing the dead-centre is described. The machine can be adapted for double index work by interposing a stop (not shown) in the path of the pawl 21.

Title: Improvements in dolls
IPC: A63H7/00
Filed: 1921-04-15
Abstract: 168,850. Dulmage, L. W. Sept. 4, 1920, [Convention date]. Dolls; mechanical toys.-Relates to dolls of the type which walk when led by the hand, and consists in providing means for locking the legs when the hand by which the doll is led is released and thus enabling the doll to stand upright when at rest. The legs are pivoted on a pin b passing through the body of the doll, and the arms h are hinged at the elbow, the upper arm being fixed to the shoulders. The locking- device consists of two weighted pins i<1>, i<2> passing through holes j in the plate k to which the legs are pivoted. The pins are attached to threads f which pass through eyelets g and are connected to one of the arms h. When the arm h is in the position shown, the pins project downwards close in front of the upper parts of the legs and, by preventing the legs from turning on the pivot pin b, enable the doll to stand in an upright position. When the arm h is raised, the pins are lifted clear of the legs and the doll can be led along by the hand. In a modification, the pins may enter apertures formed in the legs, and they may also be drawn downwards by springs instead of being weighted.

Patent GB-591682-A (GB)
Title: Operating device for pneumatically actuated gas blast electric circuit breakers
IPC: H01H33/16
Filed: 1945-05-02
Abstract: 591,682. Gas - blast switches. ALLMANNA SVENSKA ELEKTRISKA AKTIEBOLAGET. May 2, 1945, No. 11078. Convention date, May 11, 1944. [Class 38(v)] A pneumaticallyactuated circuit-breaker having two series-connected breaking gaps as in Specification 564,949, is modified so that the delivery of compressed air to the piston 13 takes place through a channel 18 which is opened by the piston 9 of the main resistance-shunted break 7, 8 when it nears the end of its travel. The piston 13, which has a boss 23 located in a hole in the cylinder 12, thus opens contact 21, and at the end of its travel opens a channel 16 so that compressed air now acts on both sides of the piston 9, which is reclosed by its spring 24. The gap 20, 21 remains open until disconnect switch is opened, or compressed air is delivered to the pipe 15. Movement of both pistons is buffered by resilient insulating material 11, 14.
Patent GB-627217-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical transmission systems
IPC: G05D3/14
Filed: 1946-04-11
Abstract: 627,217. Electric control systems. SPERRY GYROSCOPE CO., Inc. April 11, 1946, No. 11215. Convention date, April 17, 1945. [Class 40 (i)] [Also in Group XL (c)] To prevent locking of a coarse and fine servosystem at 180 degrees of error due to the fine component of the signal voltage, which may be opposite in phase and of greater magnitude than the coarse component, the fine signal voltage is prevented from reaching the output of the system when it is in phase opposition to the coarse signal. As shown in Fig. 1, coarse and fine transmitters 3 and 6 send coarse and fine signal voltages to the stators of receivers 11 and 12, the output of the rotor of the coarse receiver being applied across terminals 18 and 19 and the fine receiver across 17 and 18. The combined output is applied to a phase-sensitive amplifier 42 from terminals 20 and 21. In series with the output of the fine servo receiver are two valves 22 and 23 connected anodes to cathodes as shown. A resistance 28 joins output terminal 20 with the common input terminal 18. The grids of the valves are fed from secondary windings 33 and 32 respectively of a transformer 30 connected across the coarse input. When the fine and coarse signal voltages are positive together, one of the valves will conduct when its plate becomes positive since the grid voltage will also be positive. Upon the fine and coarse voltage becoming negative together, the other valve will conduct. Hence a voltage proportional to the fine signal voltage will appear across resistance 28 and in the output. If, however, the fine voltage becomes positive when the coarse voltage is negative or vice versa, neither valve will conduct and in consequence the fine servo output will be suppressed whenever it is opposite in phase to the coarse. At these terminals the signal is applied to a phase-sensitive amplifier 42 and used to control a servomotor 43 which repositions the receivers through gearing. In another embodiment (Fig. 2, not shown), the two valves are again connected " back-toback," but this time across the fine output terminals, the load resistance being included in the fine circuit preceding the valves. The grids are again controlled from transformers from the coarse output, but the valves are arranged to byepass the fine signal voltage should it be of opposite to the coarse.
