Granted: 1910-12-14
Abstract: 29,282. Mascart, J. M. Dec. 29, 1908, [Convention date]. Reflector systems; telescope systems.-Relates to a double-reflecting optical system used either primarily or as an adjunct to an imaging lens system for the purpose of obtaining a large or an increased relative aperture and thus increasing the separating and light collecting power of the system. Fig. 7 shows a simple reflecting-system of two concentric conical surfaces I, II placed either before or behind a lens L. In this way, the virtual diameter of the objective system is increased without any corresponding increase of the focal length. Fig. 11 shows the lens dispensed with, a parabolic reflector I being combined with a conical one II. The image formed by the reflecting system may be examined by an eyepiece Q. The focus of the parabolic section E<1> G<1> occurs at G, while that of the section E G occurs at G<1>. In the absence of the cone II the parabolic reflector would give a ring as the image of a point at infinity on the axis. A finder R may be fitted along the axis of the cone. Totally-reflecting prisms may be employed as reflectors.

Abstract: 7906. Biermasz, L. March 31, 1910, [Convention date]. Tell - tale apparatus.-Relates to means for indicating the position of a primary compass needle on a secondary instrument at a distance. The magnets 6, Fig. 1, of the compass are mounted in a hollow disk 5, which floats in a conducting liquid, preferably water acidulated with sulphuric acid, filling a vessel 3, and is pivoted on a pin 7. Four carbon blocks 14, 15, 16, 17 are mounted on the wall of the vessel 3, equally spaced around the circumference, and a fifth carbon block 13 is carried by the disk. and is connected to the lead 8 by a conductor 12, a carbon plate 10, electrolyte and carbon plate 9. The receiving - instrument has three electromagnets mounted one above the other on a spindle which carries an indicating card and is designed so that the effect of the earth's magnetism on the middle electro-magnet just balances that on the other two. The middle magnet is surrounded by two double-wound coils 32, 33, one end of each coil being connected to a common point 35, the other ends being connected to the four carbon blocks 14,15,16,17. The connexions are so made that the currents from the electrodes 14, 15 flow through the two windings of the coil 32 in such a direction as to oppose one another, and similarly those from 15, 17 through the coil 33. The current from the point 35 flows through the windings of the electromagnets and back to the source. The strength of currents in the windings 32, 33 depends on the resistance between the block 13 and the blocks 14, 15, &c., and is such that the resultant effect causes the indicating-magnet to take up a position corresponding to that of the primary compass. An alternating generator 34 is used to avoid injury to the magnets of the primary compass, and to render the action of the indicating-compass independent of neighbouring masses of iron.
