Patent GB-415473-A (GB)
Abstract: 415,473. Totalizators ; counting- apparatus. AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., Strowger Works, and SAXBY, R. N., 36, Millersdale Road, Mossley Hill, both in Liverpool. Feb. 27, 1933, No. 5951. [Class 106 (i).] A counting arrangement, particularly for electric totalizators and enabling impulses over several channels to be received simultaneously, comprises a series of escapements in cascade, each driven separately from a common source of power and at progressively varying speeds. Mounted on a spindle 1 are rotatable sleeves 14 each carrying loosely a gear 2, 3, or 4 and fixedly an escapement wheel 10. The gears are driven constantly and at a serially progressive rate by gears 5, 6, and 7 from a motor 8 and are connected with the sleeves through friction clutches 21 thus tending to drive the escapement wheels. On each sleeve, except the first and last of the series, is mounted a loose collar 19 controlled by an electromagnet 12 and provided with an arm 11 serving as a control stop for the escapement wheel of the next unit to the left. On the left end of the sleeve is fixed a forked arm 18 straddling the arm 11 and thus allowing axial but not rotary movement of the collar on the sleeve. An impulse arriving at any one magnet 12 slides the collar to the left to free the escapement for one step which is completed upon the restoration of the collar. If an impulse arrives at a higher unit in the cascade the stepping of the corresponding wheel and sleeve is transmitted to the left through the arms 18 of the other sleeves and this will result in an additive movement of the final sleeve with its contact brush 15 even though several impulses should arrive simultaneously. For aggregating impulses of different denominational values each of the higher value impulses may operate two or more magnets, or certain of the escapement wheels may have fewer teeth. The increasing ratio of drive to the various wheels ensures more rapid movement, the escape movement commencing immediately the arm 11 moves axially even if the arm is at the same time rotating. Specification 342,261 is referred to.

Title: Acoustical Testing method and apparatus
Inventor: HEATH CHARLES ALEXANDER
IPC: G01N29/04
Filed: 1967-09-18
Abstract: 1,175,719. Acoustical inspection devices. C. A. HEATH. 18 Sept., 1967 [24 Feb., 1967], No. 42338/67. Heading H4D. A wooden utility pole is tested for internal decay by providing a visual indication of the energy distribution, as a function of frequency, in an acoustical signal sent transversely through the pole. For a pole in situ an impulse is generated near its base by a blow from a hammer, e.g. of the spring-loaded constant-impact type, and is detected by a microphone diametrically opposite the impact point. The microphone output is applied to a cathode-ray oscilloscope, an oscillograph, or a wave analyser with meter readout and/or it may be recorded on magnetic tape for subsequent reproduction and display. The presence of decay is determined by visually comparing the energy distributions for the test pole and a known good pole of the same type of wood. An impulse sent through a good pole exhibits higher predominant frequencies and is dissipated more rapidly than in a decayed pole.

Abstract: 1,151,295. Fluid pressure apparatus acting through cables. JERED INDUSTRIES Inc. 19 Sept., 1967, No. 42537/67. Heading B8B. [Also in Division F2] An arrangement for raising and lowering an elevator platform 446 comprises two sets of sheaves 52, 84 and 338, 390 movable relatively to each other by an hydraulic piston and cylinder arrangement 16, such that cables extending from a framework anchorage 202, 436 and passing around both sets of sheaves and further guide sheaves to opposite ends of the platform, move the latter at twice the velocity of the piston. The sheave 52 which rotates about a fixed axis, comprises a drum, mounted adjacent each axial end thereof on a roller bearing engaging the external periphery of the drum and cable grooves are provided in the drum adjacent each bearing. The sheave 84 comprises a grooved ring which is roller mounted on the exterior of the sheave 52 intermediate its axial ends. The interior of the sheave drum 52 houses an epicyclic gear unit comprising a sun gear driven at constant speed by an hydrostatic motor, an annular gear rigid with the drum 52 and a planet gear carrier mechanically coupled through a rack- and-pinion and linkage to a control valve for a pressurized fluid supply to the piston and cylinder arrangement 16. Any deviation from a pre-determined velocity of the sheave 52, at which the planet carrier remains stationary, causes the carrier to rotate and therefore adjust the fluid supply to the cylinder 16. Torque limit slip clutches are provided at the input and output of the epicyclic unit. The set of sheaves 338, 390 is arranged in similar fashion to the set 52, 84, the external roller bearings on the sheave drum 338 being received in a frame which is connected to the piston-rod of the cylinder arrangement 16, for movement therewith. Movement of the axis of the sheave set 338, 390 is facilitated by wheels mounted at the ends of the drum 338 for engagement with tracks. Cams on the frame associated with the sheaves 338, 390 engage levers as either end of the piston stroke is approached, which levers move the fluid supply valve into a neutral position whereby the piston in cylinder 16 comes to a halt. A safety limit switch is provided at each end of the piston stroke, which switches cause stoppage of the motor driving the epicyclic gear unit whereby the fluid supply valve is held in a fixed position. The movable sheave assembly is stabilized by track-engaging wheels on the frame.
