Patent GB-190619522-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Permanent Way of Narrow Gauge Portable & like Railways.
Inventor: NELLEN FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1906-09-01
Granted: 1907-03-21
Abstract: 19,522. Nellen, F. Sept. 1. Portable and like railways for mines. Ordinary wood sleepers c, d, Fig. 1, are used and arranged so that the sleepers provided with inner clamps a alternate with those provided with outer clamps b. The clamps are secured to the sleepers before they are laid in position, the distance between the inner and outer clamp on each side being slightly less than the width of the rail foot. The sleepers d are laid in position first and the sleepers c then placed between the rails and turned into position, thus tightly gripping the rails. To prevent the rails from bending, a ring or other bolt g is driven into the sleepers opposite the inner clips. At joints, the clamps are made wider and with a fish-plate portion l, Fig. 5. The clamps are all provided with fangs f to dig into the sleepers.

Title: Improvements in Centrifugal and like Pumps
Inventor: SCHEURMANN WALTER
IPC: F04D1/06
Filed: 1906-11-26
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 26,823. Scheurmann, W. Nov. 26. Turbines.-A single or multi - stage centrifugal pump, which with h reversed flow may be employed as a turbine, is constructed without diffusing - vanes in the connecting or discharge passages. Each impeller delivers into a volute chamber having one side wall developing sideways to form a continuous helical passage, which conducts the fluid to the delivery in a single-stage pump, or to the suction volute of the next impeller in a multi - stage pump. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement for balanced encased impellers of the single-inlet type, Fig. 2 is a section showing the discharge volute round the impeller, and Fig. 3 is a section showing the inward development of the helical passage into the suction of the next impeller. The impeller A discharges into the volute a formed by the fin 4 and wall 12. The outer sidewall 13 of the passage is formed by the flat face of the suction head E in the case of the first impeller, and by the flat face of the preceding stationary section G for other impellers. The inner side wall 14 develops inwardly helically, and so forms a passage b extending, as shown in Fig. 7, over and at the side of the fin 4, and behind the partition 15. Beyond this point, it merges into the next suction volute c formed by the partition 16, Fig. 3. Fig. 8 shows the arrangement for double-inlet impellers. The suction volute partition 16 in this construction does not extend right across the passage, but forms a passage f leading to the opening g through which part of the water passes to the opposite eye of the next impeller. In large pumps, two or more dividing fins 4 may be employed for balancing. The fin may be cast with the shell, and its length may be varied. It may be formed separately and removable, thus permitting the substitution of a longer fin for use with a smaller impeller. Previous to assembling, the walls 13, 14 are accessible for machining, and the temporary absence of the fin 4 facilitates this operation on the wall 14. According to the Provisional Specification, the impellers may also be arranged in parallel, or partly in series and partly in parallel.

Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines for Overcoming and Overload.
Inventor: TESSAROTTE UGO
Filed: 1908-04-27
Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 9147. Tessarotte, U. April 27, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-To meet an overload in an engine in which the normal fuel supply is injected into air for combustion at the end of the compression stroke, a supplementary supply of compressed air is admitted to the cylinder either alone or in conjunction with a supplementary supply of fuel. In each case, the supplementary air is timed to enter after combustion has commenced, but before the termination of the normal fuel supply. When using an additional supply of fuel, the admission follows the normal supply, both supplies being preferably accelerated to finish before the admission of the air. In the diagram shown in Fig. 1, a method of working with both supplementary fuel and air is represented. The point b<1> represents the limit of the normal fuel-admission period and the point b that of the supplementary fuel. The admission of supplementary compressed air is continued from c to d. In Fig. 2, which represents a method of working with supplementary air only, the normal fuel supply finishes at b<1> while the compressed air is admitted from c to a as before. The Specification in the original form, as open to public inspection under Section 9 (3) (a), comprises a method of working in which the compressed-air admission is delayed until or after the completion of the supplementary fuel supply ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
