Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Traction Systems.
Inventor: JOHNSON TOM LOFTIN
Filed: 1906-06-20
Granted: 1907-07-20
Abstract: 14,163. Johnson, T. L. June 20. Electric railways on the electro-magnetic system. In a high-speed system, the car. is magnetically suspended from a track containing conductors, of which only those over the car are energized and, together with conductors on the car, produce a magnetic field normal to the suspending-field, the propulsion of the car being effected by the reaction between the fields. The track, shown in transverse section in Fig. 2, consists of a continuous, magnetic E-shaped yoke B, supported on girders A<3> having troughs A<2> for guiding the shoes C' on which the car support C bears when it is at rest. The carsupport is also E-shaped and has coils D<1>, D<2> which produce in the gaps between the limbs B<4>, C<6> and B<3>, C<5> a magnetic flux which raises the car-support from the troughs for propulsion with minimum friction. The track may be of other construction than the overhead type shown, and the troughs may contain means for minimizing friction in the event of the shoes making contact. For producing the propelling-flux, two series of longitudinal insulated conductors F8, G<5>, Fig. 2, are supported in the recesses of the upper yoke and are connected pair and pair by conducting cross-strips. The connexions are shown in Fig. 5, in which F<1>, F<2>, &c., G<1>, G<2>, &c. are the conductors connected to each other and to the feeders E', E' by the strips H<1>, H<2>, &c. The car-support carries a similar set of cross-strips I<1>, I<2>, &c., Fig. 7, having brushes K<1>, K<2>, &c. adapted to engage the conductors of the track yoke, as shown in Fig 2, and staggered with regard to them so that the brushes, portions of the conductors F<1>, &c., and the two sets of strips form a flat solenoid, split horizontally and of such a nature that its short lower half on the car can slide longitudinally over its extended upper half attached to the track. The solenoid is energized through the end brushes, which engage the conductors F<1>, G<1>, Fig. 7, these being connected by the strips H<12>, H<1> to the feeders E<2>, E<1>. Its field is longitudinal with regard to the track and transverseto that of the coils D<1>, D<2>. The resultant oblique field drags the car-support along. Fig. 8 shows the means for ensuring the magnetic flotation of the car-support. The coils D', D<2> are oppositely wound and are fed from wires L', L<2> through a reversing-switch L<4> and the conducting-arm L<5> of a rheostat L<3>. The arm is oscillated by means of two solenoids L<6>, L<7> shunted from the wires L<1>, L<2> through an arm L<9>, which throws one or other solenoid in circuit. In the event of the truck shoes rising, the arm L<9> is swung so as to energize the solenoid L7 and thereby insert resistance in the magnetizing-circuit to weaken the flux; If the shoes drop, the solenoid L<6> is energized and the magnetizing - current is increased. The brushes may be movable to allow alteration of the lead of the lower part of the split solenoid with regard to the upper part.

Abstract: 20,395. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]..,.qept.-,113. Transformers.- The windings of transformers cooled by oil are arranged so that the portions from which the heat is more readily dissipated have a smaller crosssectional' area than the parts from which heat is less readily dissipated, and also so that the coils connected to the terminals are not in proximity to the yoke of the core, nor to each other. The transformer, comprises two vertical legs 5 and yokes 6, 7. It is supported, in 'a frame comprising bolts 18 and a frame member 19, from the top member 3 of the tank 2, which is formed of corrugated sheet metal resting on a base 1, and contains a cooling-fluid. The inner lowpotential coil 8 consists of a single layer of seriesconnected turns of strip material, the lower portion 8 being of smaller cross-section than the upper portion 8<1>. The high-potential winding consists of several coils' 9, those surrounding the portion 8<11> of the low-potential winding being of less cross-section than those surrounding the portion 8<1>. The terminals 10 are connected to the coils A, P by conductors 11, 12, and the remaining coils B to O are connected in series between the coils A, P by conductors 13. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the coils A' to P<1> are connected by conductors 13<1>, so that the maximum difference of potential between adjacent coils on the same core leg is less than with the arrangement shown in Fig. 1. Instead of forming all corresponding coils of the same external dimensions, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4, where the lower coils 'contain more turns than the corresponding upper coils, each coil may consist of an equal number of turns, and of the same axial length, but with the conductors in the successive coils from bottom to top of increased radial width; and thereby of greater cross-section, as shown in Fig. 2.
