Title: A New or Improved Grinding Rest for use in Grinding Mowing Machine and other Knives.
Inventor: RAWLINSON WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-03-14
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 5739. Rawlinson, W. March 14. Sharpening.-In apparatus of the type in which mowing-machine and other long knives are secured, while being ground, in arms mounted on a bar which can slide in a frame supported on the grindstone frame, the arms are formed in one piece and are mounted adjustably on the sliding bar. The knife 2, Figs. 1 and 2, is clamped by screws 8 in slots 7 in arms 1, secured to a bar 3 by screws 4. The bar 3 can rotate in bearings 5 in a frame 6 and can slide through them to bring the various knife sections 9 into contact with the grindstone 10.

Title: Improvements in Aeroplanes.
Inventor: ESNAULT-PELTERIE ROBERT
Filed: 1908-05-14
Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 10,528. Pelterie, R. Esnault-. May 22, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Aeroplanes; steering and balancing.-The steering and supporting-surfaces of aeroplane machines of the type described in Specifications Nos. 221 and 1258, A.D. 1908, are mounted to allow these surfaces to be deformed or warped automatically by disturbiog forces in order to restore equilibrium. The horizontal tail a, Fig. 1, comprises rigid beams e, f, connected together by elastic or jointed curved stays and covered with fabric, and is movable about an axis a' by cords c, c<1>. The rear beam f is connected to the actuating-rods b by cords g, h. When one side of the rudder, say the right-hand side, is subjected to an air current, the beam e remains fixed while the beam f pivots about the point i so as to raise the right-hand side and depress the left-hand side thereby restoring equilibrium, since the right-hand side will tend to set itself in the direction of the current and decrease its inclination to the disturbing forces. In order to allow for an automatic deformation of the wings, the front tie ropes k, Fig. 3, are fastened to a fixed point on a vertical rod l under the aeroplane. The rear ropes k<1> pass over a pulley m, and allow a deformation of the rear portions of the wings. In order that both the front and rear portions of the wings may be deformed, an horizontal rod p, Fig. 5, is pivoted to a vertical rod y fixed to the body y', and the ropes k, k<1> are attached to the ends of the rod p. The arm r of the rod p is made longer than the arm s to increase the movement of the rear portions of the wings. In order to obtain longitudinal equilibrium, the rudder a, Fig. 6, is enabled to rise vertically under an air current by connecting the lower operating cord t by an adjustable spring u to the frame of the aeroplane.
