[Also in Group XXXVIII] To compensate for the second harmonic error in an information transmission system of the flux valve repeater compass type (see Group XXXVIII) using polyphase currents, pairs of inductive stator windings 39a, 39b, 40a, 40b and 41a, 41b are connected in series in the respective phases, and associated with the windings is a magnetic rotor 42 which can be rotated to vary the phase of the compensating effect, and longitudinally to vary its magnitude. The stator windings are on a core 38 mounted on rear piece 44 of a housing which also comprises a front piece 43 and a cylindrical cover 45. The magnetic rotor is mounted on a sleeve 49 carried slidably by shaft 48. Rotation of knob 50 is transmitted to the sleeve 49 and rotor 42 through the engagement of the sides of a slot 52 in an extension of knob 50 with a pin 51 carried by sleeve 49. Rotation of knob 54 turns shaft 48 and a screw thread on it which, by engagement with a threaded portion of sleeve 49 moves this and rotor 42 longitudinally, pin 51 then sliding in slot 52. Knob 50 carries a mark which registers with a scale on front piece 43 to indicate the angular position of the rotor. Its longitudinal position is indicated by the registering with a mark on knob 50 of a scale on a plate 61 rotated by movement of a gear-wheel 63 which engages with a pinion 62 on shaft 48 and internal teeth on knob 50.

A further pillar 29 at the rear of the beam 15 is connected by links 28 and 41 to the hand-lever, the link 28 being intermediately pivoted on the pillar .26. The hand lever therefore provides a fine adjustment of the ploughing depth, a coarser adjustment being provided by varying the pivot points 9 and 24 on the pillar 26 and the bracket 17. The laterally-adjustable member 50 comprises a bar slidable in a yoke 48, secured to the tractor, under the action of a hand lever 56. The beams 12 are connected to the power-lift arms 19 by chains 18 and the bar is of sufficient length to support both beams when in its. central position. The rear part of each bracket 17 is inclined outwardly at approximately 5 degrees to the vertical to compensate for the tilt of the whole machine when ploughing.

Tiles or other flat articles to be tested for convexity or concavity are continuously fed by a conveyer 13 over non-displaceable rollers 11 between which a displaceable measuring roller 40 is arranged to press against the face of the tile &c. and by its movement actuate indicating or tile-marking devices. As shown, the roller 40 engages the under-surface of the tiles which are moved over the rollers 11 by an upper roller 28 and belt 36. The roller 40 is eccentrically mounted on a pivot 41 and carries a spring-loaded arm 42 moving over a contact block 43 actuating switches which operate a stamping roller 52 to mark the tiles according to the degree of concavity or convexity. As the tiles approach the rollers 11 they raise two levers 46 to open the circuit to the contact block, and to ensure that the reading is taken at the centre of each tile the levers 46 are so arranged that the circuit is closed only when, as shown, the tile contacts one lever only. When the tile has passed the central position the second lever 46 returns to its normal position and opens the circuit, whereupon a spring lifts the stamping roller clear of the tile. Specification 704,780, [Group XIX], is referred to.

The opposite inclination of the teeth of gears 11 and 12, exerts opposite forces in balance on the shaft 10. The axial thrust of the shaft 7 of screw 2 is taken by a bearing 18, and that of shaft 15 of screw 3 is taken by a hydrostatic bearing comprising an oil filled slit between the bearing thrust surfaces.

A coating of zinc paint is deposited from an aqueous bath containing a water-soluble or waterdispersable resin as binder and a suspension of zinc flake of particle size below 60 microns, which zinc particles are formed with a protective coating of a water-insoluble non-polar or largely non- polar material, by passing an electric current through said bath using the substrate as the anode, and stoving the resulting coated substrate to insolubilize the binder. The zinc may contain an alloying constituent, e.g. magnesium, and the bath may also contain aluminium flake of particle size below 150 microns, similarly coated with coating material. The protective material used may be a solid hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon derivative having fatty or waxy properties, e.g. lauric, stearic, myristic, palmitic and oleic acids and corresponding esters and alcohols. The resin forming the binder may be a watersoluble modified alkyd or amine resin or epoxy ester of a fatty acid. The bath may also contain a non-ionizing water-soluble cellulose ether, e.g. methyl cellulose or ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose. Pigments which may be used include titanium dioxide, e.g. rutile coated with mixed oxides of zinc, aluminium and silicon, china clay, zinc oxide and barytes. The process may be carried out using a cell having the electrodes separated by a semi-permeable membrane, and a further layer of zinc or a layer of another metal, e.g. chromium or silver, may subsequently be electrolytically deposited upon the coated substrate.
