Patent GB-190914925-A (GB)
Title: Automatic Signalling System for Railways.
Inventor: PATTERSON HAROLD DUNCAN
IPC: B61L1/18
Filed: 1909-06-26
Granted: 1910-09-26
Abstract: 14,925. Patterson, H. D. June 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Electrical systems, automatic.-For electric railways of the kind in which the rails are electrically continuous and divided into blocks by cross bonds, each block being supplied with alternating signalling- current, multi-coil polyphase relays are employed to actuate the local signal circuits, and comprise two fixed coils, one of which is energized directly from the signalling-current leads and the other from the track rails, so as to utilize the impedance of the track rails to alter the phase in one coil. Bonds 7 connect the track rails 5, 6, and limit a block A. A power conductor 2 is provided for propulsion current, which may be either continuous or alternating current of different frequency from that of the signalling-current. Leads 9, 10 from a source 8 of signalling-current are connected by conductors 11, 12 across the track rails, the polarity of these connexions being reversed in adjacent blocks. Two polyphase motor relays c, d are provided for each block, and have the stator coils 25, 26 connected across the track rails, and condensers may be included in these circuits. The other stator coils 56, 57 are connected across the signalling-leads 9, 10. The local circuit of the semaphore 36 passes through contacts 42, 44 controlled by the armatures of the relays c, d, and a train passing from left to right in the diagram first short-circuits the coil 26 of the relay d, and opens the contact 44, so that the semaphore signal moves to the 'danger' position. After the train has passed the leads 11, 12, the coil 25 of the relay c is similarly short-circuited, and the signal circuit is opened at the contact 42. The semaphore 36 thus remains at 'danger' until the train passes out of the block. In a modification, only one relay is used for a block, one stator coil being connected to the track rails at one end of the block, and the other stator coil to the track rails at the other end of the block. Condensers are included in the circuits of both coils, and an additional adjustable impedance is also included in the circuit of one coil. Transformers may be introduced between the signalling-current supply leads and the track rails and between the track rails and the stator coils. The bonds may be inductive and consist of several turns of heavy wire, and there may also be provided a magnetic core for used with such bonds. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 20,542/06, 23,686/06, 6135/07, 9851/08, 12,795/08, 18,500/08, 18,670/08, 1426/09, and 15,978/09.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Control of Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: LANGFORD JOHN BERNARD
IPC: F02D17/00
Filed: 1909-09-02
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 20,137. Langford, J. B. Sept. 2. Centrifugal governors.-The valve-rod of an internal-combustion engine is actuated by a cam 3 acting through a roller 10 on a non-rotating spindle 11, the roller being moved axially against spring-pressure in order to govern the motor. The movement is effected by a cam-piece 5 the bevelled end of which strikes against the spindle end. The cam-piece is carried by a lever 4 on a disk 1, the lever moving by centrifugal force, and being restrained by an adjustable spring 7. The adjustment may be made by nuts 31 or by attaching the spring to a lever which may be moved by a conical sleeve slidable on the cam shaft, or the sleeve may adjust a flat loading- spring, so that the adjustment may be made during running. The cam-piece may be on the same side of the disk as the lever, or it may project through a slot in the disk. To prevent damage on reversal of rotation, the back of the cam-piece is curved so as to move the lever inwards on striking the spindle.

Abstract: 1897. Fischer, A. Jan. 25. Knives and forks, cleaning and polishing.- A knife and fork cleaning and polishing machine of the type in which a knife is rubbed between the faces of rotary disks mounted on ball joints, is modified in the following respects. (1) The disks a, b are arranged to approach one another when a knife is inserted, and recede when it is withdrawn. A portion of the shaft of the disk b is screwed, and the thread is engaged by a lug on the loose pinion f so that, by rotating the handle and braking the disk with the knife blade or other means, it is caused to move axially towards the disk a. When the knife is withdrawn, the spring rest m rises and causes the pinions on the countershaft W to engage those on the disk shaft. The pinions f, i are geared to rotate at different speeds, so that the disk b is moved axially away from the disk a, on the rotation of the handle being continued. A fork-cleaning disk Z is mounted on the countershaft. (2) The cleaning-powder is stored in a removable receptacle, which is fitted in the interior of one of the polishing-disks and delivers the powder near the axis of rotation. The receptacle may be vaned as shown in Fig. 5.
