Title: Improvements in and relating to Colour Photography and Colour Cinematography.
Inventor: DONISTHORPE FRANK WORDSWORTH
IPC: G03C7/00
Filed: 1913-03-28
Granted: 1914-03-30
Abstract: 7368. Donisthorpe, F. W. March 28. Colour photography.-A positive transparency obtained from a negative taken through a light filter of one colour is superimposed upon a negative taken through a light filter of a complementary colour, and a print is taken through the superimposed images. The silver image is toned by baths which give colour to the image and at the same time render the gelatine supporting it impermeable to an aqueous dye with which the remaining gelatine is dyed. The colour print thus obtained, having for instance a green image on a red ground, is then combined with a black-and-white print obtained by the use of a panchromatic plate. A modified process consists in combining negatives taken successively through red, green, orange, and blue filters with positives from the same so that the positive pictures are slipped up one picture relatively to the negatives. From this a colour transparency is made as described above, and every alternate picture is treated with hydrochloric acid, thereby turning the green to blue and the red to orange. This transparency is then combined with a black-and-white transparency from a panchromatic negative. The black-and-white film and the coloured film may be combined by superposition, or the colour transparency may be coated with emulsion and the black-and-white positive printed upon it. According to a modified process, the colour transparency is not fixed, and the black-andwhite positive is printed on the same emulsion.

Title: A Method of and Means for Operating Hydraulic Gearing.
IPC: F16H41/00
Filed: 1915-01-23
Abstract: 1142. Vulcan-Werke Hamburg und Stettin, Akt.-Ges. Jan. 23, 1914, [Convention date]. Feed-water, supplying.-Relates to a combination of an hydraulic transmission gear with a marine engine installation. The hydraulic gear 1, which may be a F÷ttinger transformer, is supplied with water from a tank 17 by means of pump 22 and pipe 3. Water leaves by a valve 2 and pipe 4, passing to a tank 5, from which a pump 7, transfers it through a pipe 8 to a tank 12. The water leaving the gear is warm, and is transferred from the tank 12 to the feed-water pump of the boiler installation. The inlet pipe 16 of the pump 22 communicates by pipes 14, 19 with cold condensation water and sea water respectively. The water-level in the reservoir 15 is maintained by means of a float valve 21, which opens into the tank 12. The pumps 7, 22 are both mounted on the shaft of a turbine 6. When the gearing is worked with fresh water, any excess flowing in by the pipe 14 passes to the tank 15 and the feed water pipe 13, while any deficiency of condensation water is made up from the warm-water tank 12. When sea-water is used in the gear, a valve 18 is shut and a valve 20 opened, while the sea-water is discharged from a pipe 11 by opening a valve 9 and closing a valve 10. The products of condensation pass through the pipe 14, tanks 15, 12 and pipe 13 to the feed-pumps. In a modification, the tank 17 is dispensed with, and the pipe 16 connected directly to the inlet of the pump 22. In another modification the tank 5 is also dispensed with, and the pipe 4 connected directly with the pump 7, while the two tanks 12, 15 are combined into a single tank. In another modification, the axis of the turbine 6 is horizontal. and the pumps 22, 7 are arranged on either side. In another modification, the delivery pipe of the pump 7 and the inlet pipe of the pump 22 are combined into a single pipe.

IPC: F22B21/22
Filed: 1915-04-19
Granted: 1915-12-02
Abstract: 5827. Mitchell, W. April 19. Instantaneous or flash boilers; water-tube boilers.-Steam-generators of the kind having helically-wound water-tubes arranged concentrically in a casing around a central burner are divided into segmental sets, each set being provided with an independent water feed, though the series of helices may be connected for a straight-through flow from one feed-water supply. The generator may supply steam for heating buildings or for motive power. The tubes are wound in two semicircular series of oppositely-wound helices 7, the ends 3, 4 being led through the external casing and the connexions 8 of the coils through the end walls, and caps 10 with heat insulating disks 9 forming end closures. The central burner 2 is perforated in circular series of holes arranged in groups of three, and fuel is supplied through the gas-tube 29. The quantity of air is regulated by sliding the tube 30 so as to leave more or less air space between it and the gas nozzle 29. The products of combustion pass away at the bottom through openings e to a flue E. Feed-water is pumped into coupled tanks 16, 17, Fig. 1, and each tank has a return pipe, with safety-valve control, to the main water tank 13, and an airpressure charging-nozzle 22. The lower ends of the tubes 3, 4 are coupled to the two tanks 16, 17, while the upper ends pass to a three-way valve 26. For continuous flow from the tank 17, the valve is turned to connect the pipes 3, 4, the outlet 27 is shut, the valve 24 of the tube 3 is closed, the valve 24 of the tube 4 is opened, and the steam generated is led off at the valve 25. For parallel flow, the valve 25 is closed, and valve 24 on pipe 3 opened, whereupon water flows from both tanks 16, 17 up the two series of coils, and the steam goes into the casing 26 and issues by the pipe 27, the three-way tap having been put into the necessary position therefor. In this parallel arrangement, the feed-tanks 16, 17 may sometimes be dispensed with, the pipes being connected to the tank 13. In modifications, there may be more than two sets in the complete circular series of helices.

IPC: F26B15/12
Filed: 1915-04-23
Granted: 1915-11-18
Abstract: 6104. Claessen, C. April 23. Endless-band conveyers, articles carried by.- Threads, bands, and tubes of plastic material, formed by extrusion, are uniformly distributed over arms which are moved on step by step, and are allowed to dry on these arms. In the apparatus shown, the arms 5 are carried on an horizontal chain running over wheels, and are guided between rails 6, 7. The chain is driven by a hand-wheel through bevel-gear 9, 10. The threads &c. pass through a distributing-funnel 13, which is given oscillating motion so as to lay the material in uniform lengths side by side over the arms, while the motion of the chain brings an empty arm under the funnel after the preceding one has been filled. The motion of the funnel is derived from a disk 15 rotated slowly from a pulley and formed with a camgroove in which travels a roller provided on a lever 18, pivoted on a fixed bracket and transmitting motion to a lever 21, which rotates on a shaft 20 and carries pawls 22, 23 engaging ratchet-wheels 24, 25. The wheel 25 is connected with a bevel-wheel 26 which, through a bevel-wheel 27, crank-disk 28, and connecting- rod 31, oscillates the shaft 32 on which the funnel is pivoted, and so lays the thread across the rod. The wheel 24 operates the disk 33 on the same shaft 20 and, through a connecting- rod 34, shifts the shaft 32 and the funnel to and fro in the direction of the rod 5 which the funnel is supplying.

Abstract: 6724. Barbareschi, C. May 5. Connecting-rods.- In a rotary compression refrigerating-machine having a rotary radial-cylinder compressor, the compressor cylinders 2 are fixed to the main shaft 1, and the piston-rod ends are enlarged to form complete rings 5 bearing on a ball surface on the interior of a heavy ring or guide 6, which is maintained stationary by its own weight and is in contact at its lower part with a ball surface on an outer guide-surface 7. The ring or guide 6 may be made of lighter weight and arranged to oscillate, and may be so weighted as to assume a concentric position when the pressure rises beyond a certain limit and thus effect the stopping of the compressor.
