Abstract: 359,470. Automatic regulation. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London.-(Assignees of Thompson, L. W. ; 53, Baker Avenue, and Horstkotte, E. H. ; 1318, State Street, both in Schenectady, New York, U.S.A.) April 16, 1930, No. 12068. Convention date, April 16, 1929. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. [Class 38 (iv).] The effect of an automatic resistance regulator controlling the speed of a motor varies with the motor speed. Motors 12 are fed from variable voltage generators 14 and are maintained at the desired speed relatively to a master-speed motor 33 by synchronous dynamometers 35, 37 controlling resistances 46 in the generator field circuits. Basic speed is adjusted in part by resistances 24 in the field circuit of the generator 14. As this causes the effect of the resistances 46 to be sluggish at slow basic speeds and erratic at high ones, each generator field and associated resistance 46 is shunted by a potentiometer 52, the moving contact of which is connected to the junction of the field and the resistance 46. Thus at slow speeds, the part of the potentiometer in shunt to the resistance 46 is large and variation of this resistance will have a maximum effect, whereas at high speeds the said part is small and variations of the resistance will have a minimum effect.

Abstract: 725,028. Seats for vehicles. CARBODIES, Ltd. July 17,1953 [May 1, 1953], No. 12068/53. Class 103 (2). In a motor-car body of the kind having a drop-head and a compartment into which at least the top of the drop-head can be retracted for stowing, the front wall of the compartment being provided by a seat-back tiltable forwardly to widen the mouth of the compartment, the seat-back is interconnected with the car bodv by means which sustains the seat-back in its forwardly-tilted position but which allows the seat-back, when a rearward pressure is applied to it, to return to its normal position. The invention may be used in association with power-operated means, for example a hydraulic ram as described in Specification 710,371, the power-operated means being arranged to tilt the seat-back forwardly to an extent that is just less than that at which the sustaining means becomes operative, whereby in the event of the power-operated means becoming inoperative, the seat-back can be moved manually forward for the sustaining means to operate. As shown, the car body 11 has a drop-head comprising a fabric covering 17 supported by prime members 12, 13, 15, the drop-head when lowered being received in a compartment 21 with a front wall constituted by the rigid foundation 22 of a hinged seat back 23. The floor 20b of the compartment 21 has at each side a recess accommodating means for sustaining the seat-back 23 in its forward position. The sustaining means comprises a link 31 pivotally connected at one end to a bracket 34 on the seat-back at the other end to a plate 36 which is pivoted to a fixed bracket 38. The plate 36 has an anchorage 39 for one end of a tension spring 40, the other end being secured to an anchorage 41 on the bracket 38. The spring acts to bias the seat-back 23 forwardly or backwardly according as its line of action is to one or other side of the pivot 37. If the seat-back is intended to be tilted hydraulically as described in Specification 710,371. there is provided a hydraulic cylinder 44, Fig. 5, which does not tilt the seat back forwardly sufficiently far for the spring 40 to operate with a bias towards forward tilting, so that if the hydraulic system should fail the seat-back can be moved manually forward for the bias to operate.
