[Class 3 (i)] Two twisted strips 5, 6 are mounted coaxially and are rotatable together either by a motor or by stray air currents, the twist in one strip being opposite in direction to that in the other strip. Each strip is coloured differently on its two faces, and the wider strip 6 is crimped transversely throughout its length. The strips are held together by tongues 8 stamped from one strip engaging eyelets 7 in the other strip, or a stiff length of wire may engage eyelets in the ends of both strips. The strip 5 has a suspension hole 9 and may be perforated at 10 to support an advertisement. The edges of the strip 6 may be cut ornamentally. A plurality of these compound strips may be suspended from a horizontal hoop, or may rotate between two hoops or frames, or be arranged in lengths end to end, or in the form of a cone.

Title: Improvements in or relating to radio transmitting and receiving devices for navigation purposes
IPC: G01S1/02
Filed: 1947-12-09
Abstract: 655,678. Radio navigation and direction finding. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL, Ltd. Dec. 9, 1947, No. 32423. Convention date, Dec. 12, 1946. [Class 40 (vii)] In an equisignal radio beacon of the amplitude comparison type in which modulating voltages of different frequencies predominate on either side of the equisignal plane the signal to be transmitted is modulated in a first modulator with a voltage obtained by the addition (or subtraction) of two modulating voltages and in a second modulator, with carrier-wave suppression, with a voltage obtained by the subtraction (or addition) of the modulating voltages the output of one of the modulators being applied to a substantially omnidirectional antenna and that of the other to a directional antenna. The invention also contemplates the use of similar modulators in a direction finder of the amplitude comparison type in which signals received on either side of a predetermined bearing direction are known by a predominance of different modulation frequencies. The equisignal beacon. In the beacon arrangement the two generators 6 and 7 provide the modulation frequencies which are applied through the independent secondary windings of transformers 4 and 5 in phase to modulator 1, and in phase opposition to modu. lator 2. Oscillator 3 supplies radio frequency energy to each of the modulators and the output from modulator 1 is applied to omnidirectional aerial 8. The . output from modu. lator 2 in which the carrier is suppressed is applied through 90 degree phase shifter 9 to frame aerial 10. A mathematical proof that the modulation frequencies predominate respectively on opposite sides of the equisignal plane is given. Slight displacements of the guiding plane, for example for automatic correction using a check receiver, may be made by modifying the amplitude ratio of the signals applied to modulator 1, e.g. by varying the amplitude of the output of generator 6 by the resistor shown. The direction finder. In the direction finder embodiment (Fig. 2), an omnidirectional aerial 8<SP>1</SP> feeds a modulator 11 to which are applied the sum of signals from modulating oscillators 61 and 71. Signals from a loop aerial 101 after being shifted in phase by 90 degrees are applied to a second modulator 2<SP>1</SP> where they are modulated with carrier suppression with signals from the oscillators 61 and 71 in phase opposition. The outputs of the two modulators are combined and detected at 13 the resultant modulation frequency signals being separated and rectified before application in opposition to indicator 18. Acoustic indication may be used instead of the visual indication of meter 18. Small variations in the equisignal plane of the direction finder can be made by varying the relative amplitude of the signals from generators 61 and 7<SP>1</SP>. Specification 601,641 is referred to.

In a modification, the cooled mixture is treated with more chlorine to form chlorine addition products of the olefines produced, and the olefine chlorides may then be converted to diolefines, e.g., as described in Specification 484;660. The materials to, be dehydrogenated are intimately mixed with the chlorine, and if desired, with diluting gases such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, nitrogen, water vapour or carbon dioxide. The components of the reaction mixture may be preheated, and the heat may be supplied in various ways. Filler bodies and catalysts may be used, and include graphite coke, pumice, silica gel, silicon carbide, activated metal oxides, e.g. precipitated aluminium, zinc or magnesium oxides, ceramic masses, and halides. of copper, lead, nickel, tin, zinc, cadmium, bismuth, aluminium, magnesium, manganese, calcium, thorium, potassium and silicon. Various pressures and speeds of flowmay be used. The chlorine may be introduced in several reaction stages, which may differin temperature. The cooling may be effected by spraying in liquids, eg. water, lye or oil,'or chlorinated hydrocarbons such as are formed as byeproducts; in which case the yield of unsaturated compounds is increased. Specification 501,071 also is referred to. The Provisional Specification refers also to the treatment of alcohols, naphthenes and halogen-substituted hydrocarbons,. to the use of temperatures down to 300‹ C., and to the use of barium chloride as catalyst.
