Abstract: 1,085,751. Cable testing. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. June 4, 1965 [April 29, 1964], No.17801/64. Heading G1U. An apparatus which provides a mark or a record indicating the location along the length of a cable core 1 at which the insulation includes a defect comprises first and second contacts 19, 21, which engage a semi-conducting film, e.g. carbon loaded polythene, on the surface of the insulation at two points spaced apart along the length of the core, and third and fourth earthed contacts 17, 23 which engage the semi-conductive film outwardly of the contacts 19, 21. A test voltage from a source 7 is applied between the conductor of the core and the third and fourth contacts sufficiently large to cause a discharge at a faulty point, so that a signal is set up in two parts of the semiconducting film lying on opposite sides of the discharge point and between the discharge point and the first and second contacts 19, 21. A detecting arrangement including the transformer T and amplifier 25 is sensitive to the voltages at the first and second contacts and provides an indication of the signal only when the discharge point is opposite or adjacent to the first and second contacts, the core being progressively traversed past the contacts. A magnetic tape 41 is moved in unison with the moving core past a recording head 39 to which is applied a signal when the detecting arrangement provides an indication of a discharge point. Three playback heads 61, 63, 65 inspect the tape after it has passed the recording head and detect the signal applied by the recording head to the tape, the spacing of these playback heads being such that coincident outputs indicate the existence of a discharge point in the cable insulation. A marking arrangement 67 and recording arrangements 77, 79 give an indication on the occurrence of coincident outputs of the position along the length of the core of the discharge point.

Abstract: 1433966 Controlling spindle speed INDEXWERKE KG HAHN & TESSKY 24 April 1974 [27 April 1973] 17952/74 Heading B3T In a single-spindle automatic lathe means is provided to vary the speed of rotation and to reverse the direction of rotation of the spindle depending on the nature of the operation being performed, the means being constituted by gearing means driven simultaneously by two drive motors at least the rotational speed of one of the motors being variable and the direction of rotation of one of the motors being reversible. In the embodiment described the lathe spindle 12 is driven by belt and pulleys 26, 28, 30 from a shaft 24 connected by epicyclic gearing 22, 32, 34 driven by a variable speed and reversible motor 36. A second constant speed motor 56 is connected by a drive belt 52 to the plantary gears 22 of the epicyclic gearing. The speed of the motor 56 is thus superimposed on speed of the motor 36 whereby control in the speed and direction of rotation of the spindle 12 is achieved by controlling the speed of the motor 36. The shafts driven by the motors are parallel to the lathe spindle and the constant speed of the shaft 58 from motor 56 is used to drive a lubrication or coolant pump 60. Also a brake 14 is mounted on the spindle 12 which is selectively operable relative to the drive motors by way of which braking can also be achieved by appropriate speed relationship between the motors.

Title: Improvements in or relating to radar display apparatus
Inventor: MATTHEWS ROBERT
IPC: G01S7/22
Filed: 1953-06-29
Abstract: 737,519. Radar displays. DECCA RECORD CO., Ltd. June 29, 1954 [June 29, 1953], No. 18028/53. Class 40 (7). A radar plan position indicator having a cathode-ray tube in which the centre of rotation of the rotating time base is displaced from the centre of the tube screen is provided with means for interrupting the offcentring voltage or current applied to the deflection means of the tube during the quiescent period of the timebase. The invention is of particular value in off-centred displays where the cathode-ray is electromagnetically deflected by the use of fixed deflector coils. In such a system a considerable reduction in the average deflection currents can be obtained with a corresponding simplification in the output stages of the time-base generators. In one embodiment of the invention in which a timebase generator of the type described in Specification 679,722 is used and provision is made for an off-centred bearing marker scan, each deflection coil 10 is in the anode circuit of an output valve 11. The grid of this valve is directly coupled through cathode follower 19 and amplifiers 18 and 17 to the cathodes of the valves in the four alternative control circuits 12, 13, 14 and 15. The cathode of valve 11 is coupled back to the grids of the control circuit valves. Control pulses are applied at G1, G2, G3 and G4 to render the control circuits effective as required, not more than one of them being in use at any one time. None of them is effective in the quiescent period and the beam rests in the centre of the tube. If a short positive pulse is applied at G1 control circuit 12 with its purely resistive feed-back coupling 31 is effective to cause the beam to be off-centred to a new zero whose position is dependent on applied voltage VI. Immediately following the short pulse at G1 a longer pulse at G4 is applied to render the control circuit 15 effective. The feed-back elements of this circuit include a resistor 24 and capacitor 22 so that there is a saw-tooth scanning current developed whose slope is dependent on voltage V4. At the end of the scan the pulse at G4 is terminated and the tube beam returns to its central rest position. Control circuit 13 is similar to circuit 12 and 14 similar to 15; they are controlled in the same way by a short pulse at G2 followed by a longer pulse at G3. The circuits 12 and 15 may be used for the production of a bearing marker scan from a required off-centred position and circuits 13 and 14 for the production of the off-centred display scan. Specification 744,640 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electroless metal deposition
IPC: H01B1/00
Filed: 1960-05-23
Abstract: Prior to chemical plating, a substrate is treated with a solution containing colloidal particles of a metal catalytic to the deposition of the plating metal.  Thus a conductive, semi-conductive or non-conductive substrate may be prepared for plating with Ni, Co, Cu, Ag, Au, Cr or a Pt group metal by treating it with a colloidal solution of Cu, Be, Al, C, W, Te, Co, Pt, Ag, B, Tl, V, Ti, Ni, Au, Ge, Si, Mo, Se, Fe, Sn or Pd. Exemplified plating baths contain (a) CuSO4, Rochelle salts and formaldehyde, and (b) NiCl2 or CoCl2 together with sodium citrate and sodium hypophosphite.  Typical colloidal solutions are made by mixing PdCl2, HAuCl4 or H2PtCl6 with HCl and SnCl2 in water.  Colloidal metal is formed together with stannic acid protective colloids and stannic oxychloride as a deflocculating agent.  Other protective colloids mentioned are tannic acid, gelatin and albumin.  Plating is accelerated by an intermediate treatment in an acid or alkaline solvent for the protective colloid and deflocculating agent when a colloidal solution is used which contains these latter ingredients.  The process may be used for producing linings on waveguide cavities and in the manufacture of printed circuits when a plastic panel laminated to Cu foil and provided with holes may be chemically plated with Cu all over (including the holes) and then electroplated with Cu.  Specification 929,800 is referred to.
