Title: Improvements in Circuits for Telephone Exchanges.
Filed: 1914-02-14
Granted: 1915-08-05
Abstract: 3902. Siemens Bros. & Co., Laidlaw, E. A., and Grinsted, W. H. Feb. 14. Semi-automatic exchange systems.- In a system in which each operator has a number of impulse-senders, an idle sender is automatically connected to an outgoing trunk upon the depression of a key individual to that trunk. The invention is described as applied to a system in which an A-operator at a manual exchange plugs into a trunk a, b, designated by a B-operator at an automatic exchange, thus energizing a relay D and lighting a lamp S. The B-operator has two impulse-senders I, I<1> and their associated equipment ZGI, ZGII, and a key, such as K1, K2, for each trunk a, b, a1, b1, with which a sender is to be connected. The depression of a key K1 of the trunk a, b closes its contact 1 slightly before its contact 2, so that if the first sender I is free, a circuit is closed through relay T1, contacts 19, 4, and relay R1. The contact 19 is closed, and the relay MI energized, in the normal position of the sender I. The relay TI (1) connects the sender I to the trunk a, b, over contacts 8, (2) short-circuits its high-resistance winding over contacts 6 so as to prevent a relay T3 of another trunk from being energized when its key K2 is depressed, and (3) opens contact 7 to prevent the energizing of the relay T2 and the consequent connexion of the sender I<1> to the trunk a, b. The relay R1 (1) lights a lamp L1 to indicate that the sender I is in use, (2) completes a holding-circuit for the relays R1, T1 independent of the relay M1, and (3) closes a contact 11 so as to energize the relay M2 of the other sender I<1>. At the end of the tens impulses, a cam III opens contact 18, and at the end of the units impulses a cam VI momentarily opens contact 19, thus de-energizing the relays R1, T1., and returning the sender I to its normal condition. If the first sender had been in use, the depression of the key K1 would have energized the relay T2 over contacts 7, 14 and relay R2, the relay M2 being energized over contact 11 controlled by the relay R1 of the first sender.

Granted: 1914-12-31
Abstract: 7085. Ferrar, C. March 20. Piles.-In strengthening substrata by means of liquid cement grouting, the grouting is introduced through a pipe, such as b, Figs. 1 and 4, enclosed in a larger water-supply pipe a, the lower end of which may be sealed, for example by means of a plastic substance or by a valve arrangement as shown in Fig. 4. In operation, a hole is bored in the ground in the usual way until water is reached, whereupon the operation is continued by jetting by means of water introduced into the tube a. When the desired depth has been reached, the inner tube b, in one modification, is made to project beyond the outer tube a, and a seal is made between the two pipes by means of a mixture of clay and sand &c., which may be supported by air pressure in the outer tube. Cement grouting is now supplied through the inner tube. When sufficient has been introduced, the inner tube is withdrawn into the outer one, the mouth being sealed by the clay &c. The outer tube may then be raised so as to leave the inner tube projecting and the operation is repeated. To allow of the manipulation of the two tubes, lengths a<1>, b<1> may be inserted or removed. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the inner and outer tubes are connected with the exterior by turning the inner tube and perforated plug or valve i so that some of the perforations j register respectively with the inner tube and lower perforations h or with the outer tube and upper perforations h, the two positions being determined by a pin, in the tube a engaging a peripheral recess in the plug.
