The reflecting-mirror, instead of being hinged, is arranged so as to slide down to the base of the camera, and blinds are arranged to cover the focusing- screen and the mirror after focusing, and to cover the focal plane during focusing. The end rods G<1>, G<2>, Fig. 1, of the mirror are guided in slotted ways El, E<2>. The mirror is retained in focusing position by a spring 'detent J, which is operated from the release M. A spring blind K<2> is connected by tapes h<2> to the rod G<1>, and is drawn across the focusing-screen 'when the mirror slides away after focusing. A blind H<1> attached at one end h at the bottom of the camera lias in front of the focal plane during focusing, and is connected by tapes h<1> to the spring roller k<1>. As the mirror drops, the blind H<1> is drawn across the face of the mirror and away from the focal plane, thus preventing any reflection of stray light from the mirror. Alternatively, independent blinds can be used for the focal plane and mirror. The mirror is raised into position by a cord h<4>, Fig. 3, which passes through an eye g<1> on the roller G<1> and winds on a spring drum k<4>. The mirror is enabled to fall, after release, both by its own weight and under the tension of the tape h<3> on the spring roller k<3>.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Dynamo-electric Machines.
Filed: 1908-05-22
Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 11,161. British Thomson-Houston Co., Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges.]. May 22. Rotary converters and transformers; field magnets. -Consists in a direct-current transformer having two magnetic fields and two pairs of brushes per pole pair, one of the fields being produced entirely by the armature currents, and also being displaced by approximately half a pole-pitch from the other field. The invention is described in connexion with a bipolar machine having the extra pair of brushes under the poles connected to the primary supply. To prevent the machine from racing. when the secondary load is suddenly removed, an electro-magnetic or centrifugal device is used to open the primary circuit when the secondary current reaches a certain minimum value, or an artificial load may be switched in to replace the normal load. Alternatively, auxiliary field-coils may be used to prevent the disappearance of the crossmagnetizing or motor field when the load is removed. These coils act upon the armature coils under the secondary brushes, as shown at s in Figs. 3 and 4, and are excited so that their fields are in the same direction as that of the secondary current. By various arrangements of the main windings, different characteristics may be obtained. Thus, by means of a shunt coil wound to assist the primary current, the normal hyperbolic characteristic of secondary volts and current I, Fig. 1, takes the form II, while the resultant large increase of current may be checked by a differential compounding, as shown at III. Alternatively, the current may be reduced by a shunt coil excited from the secondary brushes, as shown at IV. Machines so excited are applicable for arc-lighting. A characteristic between curves III and IV may be obtained by employing two shunt coils deriving constant and variable currents from the primary and secondary brushes respectively, together with a series coil which carries the secondary current and opposes the secondary shunt coil.
