The band 1 is slotted at the points at which signals are to be displayed, and the levers 9 which carry the disks 13 are provided with projections 8 which bear on the band in the lines of travel of the slots. The movement of any of the signals 13 operates the trigger 15 of a clockwork bell 16. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the following features. The band may be of paper, linen, metal, or celluloid, and the information thereon may be printed, or in relief, or may be adapted for optical protection on to a screen. The band may also carry advertisements and may be provided with a lens for reading it. The take-up spool is driven by a loose belt, and the motion of the band is controlled by a toothed roller, which is operated, through a removable reducing gear-box and flexible shafting, from a wheel of the vehicle, or from the propelling system, or from an auxiliary wheel supported in a trailing frame. The spindle of this wheel is kept cool by two curved wings keyed thereon. Electric or belt transmission may be used. Disconnecting-means are provided to allow adjustment of the band. One of the spools is constructed so that the rolled-up band can be removed laterally. The signals may be at a distance from the band and may be controlled electrically.

Abstract: 22,767. Herbert, A., and Vernon, P. V. Oct. 16. Feed-motions.-A bar-feeding collet for automatic screw machines &c. consists of a body A conically bored at its front end to receive conical segments F having cylindrical gripping-surfaces, a helical axial spring H pushing the segments against the conical bore to grip the bar B; when no bar is present, the segments are pushed against each other, thus maintaining their position. In a modification, Fig. 3, the body is bored cylindrically but is closed by a conically bored cap N adapted to engage with the conical front ends of the segments F and form an abutment for the spring H. The back ends of the segments are tapered at J to allow of the insertion of the bar, and the gripping-faces may be roughened to increase the grip and the segments made of soft metal so as not to mark the bar.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Regulation of Electric Installation and Systems.
IPC: H02J1/10
Filed: 1912-11-25
Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 27,069. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. Feb. 3, [Convention date]. Systems for conversion, employing rotary converters or rotary transformers.-The distribution of load between parallel-connected electric generators, motors, converters, transformers, induction regulators, regulating-switches, feeding-points in networks, &c., or between units connected partly in series and partly in parallel, or mechanically coupled, is effected by independent regulators so arranged that each unit cannot fail to take its proper share of the load, In the usual method, where the regulators respond to the same value of the regulating quantity (for example, terminal voltage), whatever the position of the regulating-member, the units having the most sensitive regulators tend to take an undue share of the load. According to the present invention, the regulators are all arranged so that in different positions of the regulator arm they respond to a different voltage, which progressively decreases from no load to full load. The effect is such as to cause the regulators to act in turn, the most sensitive regulators leading. For example, in a system, as shown in Fig. 1, for the control of two direct-current machines a', a<2>, the regulators d', d<2> respond to a voltage which at " full load " is 3 per cent less than that upon which they act at " no load." In Fig. 2, which shows their characteristics graphically, the ordinates represent terminal voltage, and the abscissae contact position, contact position 4 corresponding to no load, and contact position 0 to " full load." The curve on the left represents the characteristic of the regulator d<1>, and the curve on the right that of regulator d<2>, which has a smaller range of non-sensitiveness. As the voltage falls, it will be seen that the regulators act alternately, regulator d<2> moving to contact 3 at 99À5 volts, d<1> to contact 3 at 99 volts, d<2> to contact 2 at 98À75 volts, and so on. Thus each unit is compelled to take an increase of load in turn. Compounding or over-compounding is obtained by means of an extra coil on each regulator, all such coils being in series with each other, and in series relationship with the load current. This arrangement does not interfere with the action of the regulators above described. The desired characteristics of the regulator depend upon its constructional features, such as the magnetic force of the windings and the characteristics of the counterforce used; but Fig. 6 shows an arrangement for indirectly-operated regulators m<1>, m<2> controlling parallel-connected alternators a<1>, a<2>, in which the regulator arm itself varies resistance z<1>, z<2> in circuit with the coil f<1>, f<2> of the controlling relay, to vary the value of the responsive voltage with each change in the position of the regulator arm.
