Granted: 1912-05-10
Abstract: 3426. Rambaut, A. A. Feb. 10. Range - finders. - Instruments of the kind in which viewing reflecting-surfaces are first associated with one interior angle and the opposite exterior angle of the triangle formed by the object and the base between the reflectors, and then with the remaining interior and exterior angles, are arranged so that the rays from the viewing reflectors are directed first for one observation to a telescope objective at one end of the base, and then, for another observation, to an objective at the other end of the base. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the reflector system a, b is first used so as to reflect light from the ends of the base in turn to the tetescope h provided with a micrometer &c. The reflector system is then placed as shown in Fig. 2, and observations are made with telescope i. In the form shown in plan in Fig. 4, Prandl prisms v, s placed at different levels can be rotated from the full-line positions through 90 degrees to the dotted-line position, thus using either the objective x and doubly - reflecting prism v or the objective y and prism w in conjunction with a common ocular into which light is reflected from a prism u rotated through 180 degrees from the full-line to the dotted-line position, or vice versa, when the prisms v, s are rotated. Each prism v, s is mounted on a pivoted table 10, Fig. 6, having a toothed segment 25 meshing with a rack 26 formed on a rod 27 sliding longitudinally of the instrument. The correct position is secured by means of a finger 28 forming part of the rack abutting against one of two stops 29. The carrier of the prism u is rotated by means of a pinion meshing with a rack formed on the rod 27. Instead of having images overlapping throughout the whole field of view, and divided fields may be obtained by using a divided object glass, as described in Specification 2,5,682/03. Fig. 10 shows a modification of this kind, in which the prisms v, placed at different levels, reflect light into the divided object-glass 38, 42, the light being then reflected by the prism 39 to the prisms 40, 44 respectively, and thence to the silvered faces of the prism 41 and into the ocular system, a similar system being provided in the other half of the instrument for use when the prisms are rotated into their other positions. Another method of dividing the fields is the use of a diaphragm dividing the instrument longitudinally into two sections one above the other.

Abstract: 18,616. Marks, E. C. R., [Dyer, R. E. H.]. Aug. 17. Range-finders. - Relates to binocular rangefinders, with which ranges are intended to be measured by the apparent displacement between marks or scales in the focal plane of an object glass or glasses respectively. In one form, Fig. 2, an instrument as described in Specification 12,238/10 is made either with a single object-glass c<1> covering both eyepieces b, or if two or more object-glasses are employed, the one nearest the eyepieces covers both of the latter. Alternative positions nearer to the eyepieces are indicated in dotted lines at f, g. A single hair-line &c. is placed in the centre of the focal plane and the eyepiece axes are arranged to converge upon the line, the images presented to the observer's eyes separately being staked to be as shown in Figs. 3 and 3<a>, and the binocular effect as in Fig. 3<b>, the object being represented by the cross; the apparent displacement shown in Fig. 3<b> is to be measured by a travelling arrow moved by a micrometer screw into apparent coincidence with one of the lines seen. In another construction shown in Fig. 12, the entrance prisms are carried on pivoted arms d, which can be folded together for transport, and the object-glass k and eyepieces b on a main central portion. A triangular prism u is provided for reflecting the rays from the extreme prisms into the eyepieces. Lenses i and may be used in addition to or in place of the object - glass k, the eyepiece axes being parallel when using the latter arrangement, with which similar scales may be used in each eyepiece instead of a single line, the scales being stated to appear to slide over each other and the apparent displacement to be a measure of the range. The distance between eyepieces is adjusted by moving the prism u longitudinally and so moving laterally or angularly the eyepieces which are connected with the prism-carrier by pins engaging in grooves in the carrier. The arms d carrying the prisms d may be arranged at various angles, other forms of entrance and central prisms, which can all be cut from the same piece of glass, being also employed. An objectfinder for the range-finder shown in Fig. 2, comprises a right-angled prism 19 with a portion of the face turned towards the observer covered by a mirror, the image of the pupil of the observer's eye in the mirror being brought into line with the reflection of the object in the prism 19.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Telemeters.
Filed: 1911-09-19
Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 20,712. Soc. Baille-Lemaire et Fils. Oct. 1, 1910, [Convention date]. Range-finders.-Means for adjusting a shortbase telemeter comprises two Prandl or other prisms c, d placed between the apertures e, f and their respective reflectors a, b, these prisms, which are rigidly connected to the instrument, being of such a height as to intercept only a part of the light which would otherwise fall directly on the reflectors. To adjust the instrument, light from an external object is allowed to enter the instrument by one aperture, c say, only. The part intercepted by prism c is reflected by the prism and by the prism d, its direction when it is incident on the prism b being parallel to that of the unintercepted light. The effect is thus the same as if an object at infinity were sighted through both apertures, and when coincidence has been secured, the index can be set at infinity. The prisms c, d and their corresponding reflectors a, b are arranged in a common fitting consisting of plates l, m, n, of known expansion, joined together by stays p. The optical system is fixed in the box q by means of a knife-edge and a spring v arranged in the lower part; and a spring w and micrometer screw x in the upper part, the screw being used to obtain vertical adjustment of the two half-images seen in the eyepiece g. The invention, which is shown in connexion with a coincidence telemeter, may also be applied to a stereoscopic instrument.

Abstract: 16,296. Andriessens, H., and Scheidemandel, J. July 12. Gases, treating with electric discharge.-An arc is directed into a A-shaped path b, f, c and is thereupon formed by a magnetic field into a nearly-circular or other loop i, k, l, the position of which is practically independent of the direction of the current. The gas to be treated passes in a direction at right-angles, parallel, or inclined to the plane of the arc. The first shaping of the arc may be effected by a blast of ionized or other air or gas from a pipe e between the electrodes a, d, or by the current of gas to be treated. Alternatively, hollow electrodes may project convergent jets of conductive or combustible gas, vapour, or liquid, along the desired path, or may be placed in line with each other and with the magnetic field and convey gas currents which meet and spread out laterally, in which case parallel gas currents may also be passed along the outsides of the electrodes to keep the ends of the arc in place. The electrodes may end in rings or disks, or may be partly horn-shaped and divergent, with sharp edges at their nearest parts. An intermediate electrode may be arranged at the corner of the #-shaped path and may be splayed at its end. When alternating electric current is used. the strength of the gas currents may be varied synchronously therewith by means of a siren or otherwise.
