Fats.-Difficultly oxidizable animal fats, such as train oils and liquid waxes, are mixed with products of distillation of colophony and heated in open vessels to 250‹ C. until the mixture becomes viscous. A siccative or drying oil may be added. The products are used as coating-materials. In an example a mixture of cod-liver oil, pinoline, and manganese resinate is used. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also the treatment of the fats alone by means of heat ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 26,362. Gresham, H. E. Dec. 5. Brakes.-For indicating whether the brake pipe of a locomotive is coupled to that of a train, the plugs d on the engine for receiving the hose couplings of the brake train-pipe, when not coupled to the train, are perforated at d' and connected by a pipe c to an indicating-device a in the engine cab. The indicating-device may be combined with the usual vacuum gauge, and may consist of a spring-supported piston, diaphragm, &c. open at one side to the atmosphere and at the other side communicating with the pipe c. When the hose coupling is on the plug, the pipe c is exhausted and the indicator shows the words " not coupled."

Patent GB-191014486-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Driving of Machinery by Internal Combustion Engines particularly applicable to the Propulsion of Ships and Vehicles.
Inventor: DIESEL RUDOLF
IPC: B63H23/00
Filed: 1910-06-15
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 14,486. Diesel, R. June 15. Motor power plant.-For starting under load, manoeuvring, &c., the cylinders of internalcombustion engines for winding, and for propelling ships, road vehicles, and locomotives, are divided into two groups, one of which compresses air while the other is used in propulsion either as an internal-combustion engine or as a compressed-air engine. The air compressed by the first group, may either be used immediately in the second group, or be stored in accumulators for subsequent use, as desired. In a submarine, compressed air from the accumulator may be supplied to the engines of both groups, when submerged. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, for normal working, three internal-combustion engine cylinders c<1>, c<2>, c<3> are charged from gas and air pumps g, l, which pumps may, however, be uncoupled at k<2>, in which case the pistons draw in their charges at atmospheric pressure. When starting or manoeuvring the clutch k<1> is disconnected, and the internal-combustion engine cylinder c<3> drives the pump l, which acts as an air compressor for supplying the cylinders c<1>, c<2>. By the combustion of a small quantity of liquid fuel in the cylinders c<1>, c<2>, the temperature of the air may be raised sufficiently to prevent freezing. When applied to a submarine, compressed air is supplied by the pump l to an accumulator m, either by the combined action of the cylinders c<1>, c<2>, c<3>, or by the cylinder c<3> only. In the latter case, the cylinders c<1>, c<2> are free to be used as internal-combustion engines for propulsion, when awash. After submersion, the cylinders c', c<2>, c<3> are supplied with compressed air from the accumulator, the pump l being used to store the exhaust gases in the empty sections of the accumulator after the removal of any condensable and absorbable constituents. According to the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, during normal running, two groups of cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6 working on a two-stroke cycle combine to actuate the propeller shaft, to drive air-scavenging pumps b<1>, b<2> and, if not disconnected, a compressing- pump c, which may supply air for the fuel injection and the general purposes of the ship. When starting or manoeuvring, the clutch g is disconnected, and the internal-combustion engine cylinders 4, 5, 6 actuate the compressor c, which supplies compressed air to the cylinders 1, 2, 3 connected to the driving-shaft, the scavenging-air compressed by the pump b<1> and not utilized in the cylinders 4, 5, 6 being conveyed to the pump c for further compression. If preferred, however, one side of each pump b<1>, b<2>, or one complete pump, may serve to compress propelling-air for the cylinders 1, 2, 3. In a further modification, three sets of engines drive independent propeller shafts, the central set actuating the air-pump for supplying the starting and manoeuvring air for the other sets.
