Abstract: 20,337. Cowing, P. F. Aug. 31. Nickel, cobalt, iron, and copper, obtaining; electrodes; electrolytes, circulating.-An alloy or mixture of nickel and copper, with or without iron, is dissolved electrolytically, the copper in solution is replaced by iron, or iron and nickel, and the iron and nickel are then deposited together. Cobalt, if present, accompanies the nickel. The salts of copper and iron are in their lower condition of oxidation, and the electrolyte is substantially neutral, though there may be added small quantities of organic compounds, weak acids, or salts to increase the conductivity or improve the deposits, or a little acid to prevent basic salts from being formed. The original electrolyte may be a strong solution of nickel chloride. In one form of apparatus, a plate 1 of the alloy or mixture forms the anode of a cell A provided with a diaphragm 2 and optionally with stirrers. The liquid from above the anode is withdrawn continually and may pass through a cell or cells B each containing stirrers, an anode of iron, nickel, or both, and a cathode on which copper is deposited. The residual copper, or all the copper if these cells are omitted, is then removed by iron in a trembling barrel or barrels C. The liquid flows thence to a settling-tank D, and is raised by a pump 13 optionally through a filter 14, into a heated tank E feeding the cathode chamber of the main cell, in which a temperature of 50‹ C. is preferred. The catholyte flows over the diaphragm to the anode chamber. The anode mud must not accumulate to such an extent as to act as an electrode. The cathode may be of iron wire gauze or netting.

[Cognate Application, 25,043/11.] Sand, grit, and the like, feeding to machines; sawing and like cutting; stone cutting and working apparatus combined with metal-working machines. - In stone-cutting machines of the circular-saw type, particularly those of the type comprising a soft iron disk which is supplied with abrading-material, the rotary cutting-disk is mounted on pivoted arms and has a to- and-fro movement parallel to the base of the cut. The cutting-disk a is mounted outside two arms b, having bosses b<1> mounted in bearings d' and forming bearings for the driving-shaft c. By means of connecting - rods e and a crank-shaft f, driven, together with the cutting-disk a, from the shaft c, the arms band cutting-disk a are reciprocated. The crank-shaft also drives ratchet gearing i' through a connecting - rod i, and thence, through a clutch j<1> controlled by a rod j<5>, drives a pinion gearing with a rack h<1> to move the table h. The table may also be moved by hand by means of a wheel or crank j<6>. The table moves on guides k, which are adjusted transversely on bearers l by a screw m. A hopper n is divided into compartments n<1>, n<2> by a vertical partition n<3> and catches the detritus, abrading-material. and water. Abrading - material sinks in one compartment n<1>, while detritus from the stone is carried into the other compartment n<2> and settles therein. An air-pump o or other blower driven from the crank-shaft f supplies air through a pipe o<1> and a nozzle o<2> arranged at the foot of a vertical pipe q, and thus conveys water and abrading-material through a pipe p, with an adjustable end piece p<1>, to the stone, the air escaping through a pipe p<2>. A casing r, at the back of the stone, receives clay or other material to prevent escape of the abrading- material. A knurling or milling disk s is pressed by a lever s<2>, or automatically, against the edge of the disk to score it. The disk may also be mounted between the arms b and reciprocated by a forked connecting-rod, and the table may be advanced by a screw driven through bevel gearing from the crank shaft.
