Title: Alarm Horn for Automobiles, Motor Boats and the like.
Inventor: RUSSELL WILLIAM EDWIN
IPC: G10K9/10
Filed: 1911-03-30
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 7983. Russell, W. E. March 30. Mechanically-operated sheet and plate vibrators; sirens.-In an alarm horn for automobiles &c., the diaphragm is formed with perforations and is engaged by means, carried by a rotary head, for sequentially plugging and opening the perforations. In the construction shown, the diaphragm 11 has concentric perforations 12, which are spaced so as to coincide with spring- pressed balls 7 carried in pockets in the rotary head 5. As the head rotates, the balls roll in contact with the diaphragm until they come opposite the openings, when they are violently forced into and then ejected from the same. Under the action of the balls, the diaphragm is bowed outwards, as shown by the broken lines. The inner walls 6 of the pockets are inclined outwards, so that the balls are forced against the diaphragm by centrifugal action, with or without the assistance of springs. The resultant sound, it is stated, is due chiefly to the piston-like impulses given to the air by the balls, and only in a secondary degree to the vibrations of the diaphragm.

Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement and construction of; steering. - The planes of an aeroplane are so constructed as to give automatic stability during flight and the upper plane is detachably connected to the body so that the machine can be used either as a biplane or monoplane. The main plane 1 is formed with upturned parts at the front and the sides connected by helicoidal parts which form an air channel. The tail 16 is concave upwards and the curvature increases from the front to rear so compressing the air as it passes along the upper side of the plane. The main plane 1 is pivoted to the frame near its front end and can be inclined along with the propeller for steering the machine vertically. A rod 21, hinged to the plane 1 is connected to a slide 22 movable on a guide 23 by an endless cord passing around a drum 24 actuated by worm gear. A rudder 13 is pivoted on the central upright. A second plane 20 can be placed above the main plane 1 pivoted at its forward end to a frame formed of transverse and vertical rods braced together by wires, and connected to the main girder body 15 by struts 30. The rear edge of the upper plane is connected by rods 21<1> to the lower plane and follows its movements. The main girder body 15 consists of horizontal and vertical rods connected together at their ends by stays and longitudinal rods.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Colour Photography and Printing.
Inventor: BAUGE GEORGES
IPC: G03C7/46
Filed: 1911-09-12
Granted: 1912-11-12
Abstract: 20,251. Bauge, G., Dumez, A., and Seauve, A. de. Sept. 13, 1910, [Convention date]. Colour screens; kinematograph apparatus.- Colours, dyes, and other materials are specified for the three-negative process of colour photography. The materials for the taking filters are, for the red, 645 c.c. of erythrosine or 10 c.c. of Bengal pink; for the yellow, 115 c.c. of tartrazine; and for the blue, 5 c.c. of carmine blue mixed with 1 c.c. of naphthol green per square meter of filter surface. A 1 per cent solution of dye is used in each case, and in order to absorb ultra-violet rays 10 grams of potassium nitrate per square meter are added. In taking the negatives, the filters are used in pairs to produce violet, green, and orange filters, the red and blue screens are used together for the violet, the blue and yellow for the green, and the red and yellow for the orange. The negative plates are prepared by first soaking them in a 1/10 per cent solution o f ammonia and then dipping them into a solution containing 100 grams of water, 50 grams of 95 per cent alcohol, 2 grams of a 1/10 per cent solution of pinachrome and 1 gram of 1/10 per cent solution of homocol. This mixture will serve for six plates of 9 by 12 cm. The exposure of the negatives is checked by simultaneously photographing a scale of colours and shades in grey. For the positive films, gelatine sensitized with a mixture of potassium and amrnonia bichromate is used, the red film being impregnated with madder lake to the extent of 8À5 grm. per square meter, the yellow film with cadmium sulphide to the extent of 12À8 grm. per square meter and the blue film with the precipitate obtained from a solution of sesquibromide of iron of 11À85 per cent strength with ferrocyanide of potassium of 21 per cent strength, and spread to a density of 6 grm. per square meter. Vegetable parchment supports are used which have been sulphurized by dipping them into a mixture of sulphuric and nitric acid and then into a saturated solution of gum lac in ethanol. Celluloid supports covered with gum lac can alternatively be used. In printing the positives, the exposure is stopped when the yellow print is visible. Either the double or single transfer method of printing may be used, the order of superposition of the positives being dependent upon the process used. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the method is applicable for the production of photo-mechanical printing-surfaces, and also for the simultaneous production of three series of cinematograph films, by means of which either by superposition of pigments or by impression a series of films in colours can be obtained for reproduction. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
