Title: Improvements in and relating to Gas Analysis Apparatus.
Inventor: SIMMANCE JOHN FREDERICK
IPC: G01N7/04
Filed: 1912-05-16
Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 11,664. Simmance, J. F., Abady, J., and Wood, F. Ma.y 16. Gas analysis. -In automatic gas-analysing apparatus, the water used for the measuring-off and remeasuring of the sample is saturated with the gas to be tested by arranging that a pump a in the water supply pipe shall draw gas from its supply pipe m through water in the vessel 2, the mixture of gas and water from the pump 2 passing into a vessel 1. This vessel is divided into compartments a<1>, b, c, by partitions with suitable perforations. Water from the compartment b flows to the tank 7 of the recording- bell 6, entering at the bottom and overflowing by the pipe e into the chamber 2. Water is also supplied to this chamber through the pipe f provided with a regulating tap, and enters the tank 4 of the measuring-chamber 3 by an overflow j. This tank is intermittently emptied by the siphon u as usual, whereby a sample is measured off and passed through the absorbing solution in the vessel 5, the residual gas after the record has been made escaping by the unsealing of the pipe p. By the flow of water from vessel to vessel, the temperature of the gas in the measuring and recording vessels is maintained the same. A. number of such recording apparatuses may be worked together, in which case there would be a common water impregnating apparatus, one water tank for the measuring-chambers, a common tank for the recording- bells, and one clock-work apparatus and chart for the whole apparatus. Such an apparatus may be used to determine the different constituents of a particular gas, the units of the apparatus drawing samples from a common source of supply.

Title: Improvements in Electrical Apparatus for Indicating Speed and Direction of Revolution at a Distance.
Inventor: FLAMAN NICOLAS CHARLES EUGENE
IPC: G01P3/42
Filed: 1912-11-20
Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 26,685. Flaman, N. C. E. Nov. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Periodic-counter speed indicators; revolutiondirection indicators.-Apparatus for indicating speed and direction of revolution electrically at a distance comprises a receiver containing indicating-mechanism of the periodic-counter type actuated by electro-magnetic means, and current-controlling devices actuated by the primary shaft and by clock-work. The receiver comprises ratchet-wheels 7, 8, Figs. 1 and 3, respectively loose and fast on a shaft 9 geared to shafts 4 carrying the speed pointers 3. A pawl 15 may engage the wheel 7 and be intermittently actuated by an electro-magnet 20 energized by the movements of a contact arm 49, Fig. 6, actuated by the cam 48 driven by the primary shaft 44. The operation of the apparatus is as follows. At the beginning of the measuring period, the pawl 15 is allowed to engage the ratchet-wheel 7 by the breaking of the circuit of the electro-magnet 25, the armature of which has been holding out of gear the pawl 15 just previously set in oscillation. The wheel 7 is thus driven, say, for 24 seconds, at the end of which time the circuit of its magnet 20 is broken, but the pawl 15 remains in gear. The magnet 33 is now temporarily energized so as to actuate the pawl 30 to release the wheel 8, which thereupon takes up the position of the wheel 7 (supposing the speed to have decreased) by moving round until its pin 13 engages a pin 12 on the wheel 7. The pawl 15 is next thrown out of gear, and the magnet 29, on being energized, removes a non- return pawl 16 from the wheel 7, which thereupon returns to its initial position. The control of the various circuits is effected by a series of cams on a clock-driven shaft, the cams being adapted to raise blades against contacts at the desired time intervals. The direction of revolution is shown by a pointer 41 controlled in position by a toothed armature 37 adapted to be attracted by either of the electro-magnets 35, 36 which are energized by one of the arms of a pivoted blade 58, Fig. 6. This blade is moved by a pin 56 extending from a pivoted arm 53 moved to a position X or Y by a recessed disk 51 on the driven shaft 47. A pair of leaf springs 55 serve to control the arm 53.
