Abstract: 20,725. Gledhill, A. H. Sept. 18. Calculating - apparatus; receipts, checking and recording. - R e l a t e s to transfer mechanism of the type in which the actuating-elements are set on the positive stroke of the keys and the registering- wheels are rocked into g e a therewith on the return stroke, and consists in providing for additional movement of the returning actuating- elements at transfer. The keys 1 on being depressed raise tappets 3, set differentially upon the shaft 2, and provided with sectors 4 which gear with wheels 5 on the telescopic shafts 6, 7, and 8. The counter-wheels 13 are mounted on a rocking frame 9 pivoted on the shaft 10, and operated from the shaft 2 by gearing with the cams 20 and the runners 22. On the return stroke of the keys, the frame 9 rocks the registering-wheels 24 into gear with the wheels 5 previously set by the positive stroke of the key, and the wheel 5 is thereupon rotated in the reverse direction by the action of the spring 25, lever 26, pin 27, and tail 28 of the sector 4. The wheel 5 is arrested in its normal position by a pin 29 coming in contact with a tumbler 15 held bya notch 16 in the trip lever 18. When a transfer is effected, a tooth 30 on the disk 31 of the register wheel comes into contact with the tail 32 of the lever 18 and causes the tumbler 15 to engage the second notch 17 of the lever 18, thus allowing the wheel 5 of the higher denomination an extra movement of one unit. The tumblers 15 are re-set by the bar 19, and by contact with the pin 29 return the gear-wheels 5 to their normal position.

Title: Method of Making a Nutritive and Flavouring Substance.
Inventor: IKEDA KIKUNAE
Filed: 1909-04-21
Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 9440. Ikeda, K., and Suzuki, S. April 21. Condiments.-A flavouring substance consisting either of a pure acid salt of glutamic acid or of a mixture of such with various other amino-acids, their salts, or other substances, is prepared by hydrolyzing albuminous substances with a large excess of strong acids, such as hydrochloric or sulphuric acids. When sulphuric acid is used, the excess is removed by adding lime and then baryta water. Sodium carbonate is then added, and the liquid filtered and passed through animal charcoal, after which it may be evaporated to dryness. When hydrochloric acid is employed, the resulting liquid is concentrated and cooled, and the crystalline mass of glutamic acid hydrochloride resulting is purified by recrystallization. On the crystals being neutralized with soda, a mixture of sodium glutamate and chloride results and pure mono-sodium glutamate can be obtained by fractional crystallization. The solution resulting by hydrolysis with sulphuric acid may be electrolyzed in a cell divided into three compartments by porous diaphragms, the middle one being much larger than the other two. A cathode of iron is placed in one outer chamber, and an anode of zinc, aluminium, iron, or other corrodible metal in the other. The anode compartment is filled with pure sodium glutamate solution, and the two others with the solution to be electrolyzed. Weak amino acids such as glycocoll, alanine, leucine, &c. collect in the central compartment, and glutamic acid together with some other acids in the anode vessel, as salts of the anode metal. The anodic liquid is treated to convert the salts into sodium salts. Instead of the acid sodium salt, the acid potassium and calcium glutamates may be used for flavouring.
