Patent GB-190418382-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or appertaining to Pyrometers.
Filed: 1904-08-24
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 18,382. FÚry, C., and Compagnie pour la fabrication des Compteurs et MatÚriel d'Usines Ó Gaz. Aug. 24. Pyrometers; telemeters; optical instruments.-A pyrometer, for recording the temperature of a furnace, comprises a reflector or lens for concentrating radiations on a thermo-electric couple connected to a recording-galvanometer. Means for facilitating the focussing of the apparatus are stated to be applicable to optical instruments generally and to telemeters; but they are not claimed apart from the pyrometric apparatus. A tube 1, Figs. 1 and 2, piaced opposite an aperture 2 in the furnace, contains a concave mirror 15, movable by a rack 16 and pinion 17, or other suitable arrangement, and perforated at its centre to receive an eyepiece 19 fixed on the end 20 of the tube. This eyepiece is pointed towards the aperture, and the mirror 15 is displaced until the image of the furnace aperture coincides with the aperture 38 over the junction 22, Fig. 3, of the thermo-electric couple 23, 24, the focussing being assisted by prismatic mirrors 36, 37, Figs. 4 and 5, which are arranged to distort the image unless it be in the plane of the aperture 38 at the centre of the mirrors. When lenses are employed instead of reflectors, the prisms act to distort the imago by refracting the rays transmitted through them, without reflection. The ends of the strips 23, 24 are soldered, respectively, to brass strips 26, 27, which are insulated from one another and connected to the terminals 4, 5. These terminals are joined through an interrupter 8 with the frame 7 of a galvanometer, arrangements being made for shortcircuiting through a conductor 10 and interrupter 11. A needle 13 is attached to the frame 7 and carries a style 46, the variations in its position being recorded on a clockwork-driven band. At regular intervals, the clockwork movement lifts the rod 41, and causes the band 14 to come in contact with the style, and at other intervals (multiples of the former), by means of the interrupters 8, 11 or by a commutator, the needle 13 is returned to zero and the style 46 takes up ink.

Title: Improvements in Gassing Machines for Yarn or Thread.
Inventor: ARUNDEL HENRY BIRKBY
Filed: 1905-06-13
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 12,257. Arundel, H. B., and Higginson, J. June 13. Gas burners for dressing yarns.-A burner b, Fig. 1, projects a long flame into a tube d, through which yarn to be gassed is led, and the ash and products of combustion are drawn off from the tube by a branch pipe k, connected with a common suction flue m, such suction also inducing a current of cool air from the back end of the tube by which the gassed yarn is cooled. The yarn passes over guide-pulleys q, r, carried by arms s, u of a shaft t, which may be oscillated by a crank v, link w, and pivoted hand-lever x to carry the yarn out of the tube through a longitudinal slit f, Fig. 3. The tube d is made of porcelain or any suitable refractory material, and is enclosed in a metal tube e having a corresponding slit g. The branch pipe consists of a porcelain liner k in a metal tube h, and an additional casing 7 may be provided to form a jacket in which the air supply for the burners may be heated or cooling-water circulated. In other cases, the burner end of the tube d may be provided with an air-heating jacket and the other end with a cooling-water jacket. The slits in the tube may be closed and opened automatically when the yarn passes into and leaves the tube by a catch piece on the arm s acting on a lug z on the tube d so as to rotate it within the tube e. The flue m serves several burners and discharges in any convenient way, such as into water or on to a travelling band. The current of air in the cool end of the tube d may be increased by restricting the opening. In modifications, the tube d may be arranged vertically, a flat-flame burner may be employed inserted in a slot cut at one end of the tube, and such burner slot may be extended to serve also for the entrance and exit of the yarn. Two parallel yarns may be treated together, or a single yarn may be passed two or more times through the tube, which may be made in two or more parts. In another modification, the tube d consists of a T-shaped metal pipe which may be bell-mouthed at the burner end and covered with non-conducting material.
Patent GB-190512879-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Valves for Controlling Continuous Automatic Railway Brakes.
Inventor: MCDERMID WILLIAM FRANCIS
Filed: 1905-06-21
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 12,879. McDermid, W. F. June 21. Brakes.-An air-brake apparatus is arranged for either automatic pressure or vacuum working. The usual auxiliary reservoir a and triple valve b of the Westinghouse automatic pressure system are used in conjunction with the ordinary combined vacuum reservoir c<2> and brake cylinder c<1>, the Westinghouse brake cylinder being dispensed with. The train-pipe f is connected to the triple valve by a pipe f<1> and to an automatic valve d, shown in detail in Fig. 3, by a pipe d<1>. The valve d is arranged for connecting either the train-pipe or the triple valve to a pipe d<3> leading to a valve e, shown in Fig. 4, which may replace the usual trip and non-return valve of the vacuum-brake cylinder. If this usual valve is employed it is so controlled by a spring as to allow any pressure beyond a certain amount in the brake cylinder to escape through the reservoir to atmosphere. The parts are shown in the positions they occupy when the train-pipe pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure, i.e. the positions for pressure working. Train-pipe air, acting on the disk d<7>, closes the valve d<8>, so shutting off the brake cylinder c<1> from the train-pipe and connecting it to the triple valve b through ports and passages e', e<4>, d<3>, d<9>, d<2>. When the triple valve is operated to apply the brakes, the air passing from it to the brake cylinder enters holes e<5> in a box valve e<9> and acts upon a disk e<6> to unseat a valve e<7>, so that the reservoir c' is connected to atmosphere through ports e', e<3>. During vacuum working, atmospheric pressure, acting through a port d<4>, raises the disk d<7>, so opening communication between the train-pipe and brake cylinder through the valve d<8> and closing the ports d<9>, whereby the triple valve and reservoir a are cut off from the brake cylinder. Atmospheric pressure also closes the valve e<7>, shutting off the vacuum reservoir c<2> from the atmosphere. The disk e<6>, being flexible, then acts as the non-return valve of the vacuum cylinder. The valve e<9> is fitted with a handle e<8> by means of which it can be raised from its seat, against the pressure of a spring e<10> and without affecting the valve e<7>, to connect the reservoir c<2> with the cylinder c<1> for releasing the brake. Rolling rubber packing-rings are preferably used for packing the pistons and stems of the valves.
