Title: Improved Method of Dyeing Animal Fibres with Sulphide Colours.
Inventor: RANSFORD ROBERT BOLTON
Filed: 1906-05-07
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 10,693. Ransford, R. B., [Cassella & Co., L.]. May 7. Dyeing with sulphide colours. Goods of animal fibre, particularly wool, or mixed animal fibre and cotton are dyed by treating them with the finely suspended dye stuffs in a neutral or slightly acid bath. Even, full shades, fast to washing, milling, and light, are stated to be obtained. Suitable suspensions result on dissolving the dye-stuffs, e.g. immedial, sulphide, and katigene colours, with caustic-soda lye and glucose, and then precipitating with acids or acid salts. The solutions in alkaline sulphides may be employed but are less advantageous. Energetic mechanical treatment of the goods, such as milling, is useful, but thorough working of the loose wool in the dye bath is sufficient. By way of example, a boiling aqueous solution of immedial cutch, glucose, and caustic soda is diluted and, after cooling, dilute sulphuric acid is cautiously added until a slightly acid reaction is obtained. The material to he dyed is then immersed in the bath and well worked. The dyeing may be completed in the cold or hot to ensure a better penetration, depending on the nature of the textile material. With mixed goods, the animal fibre principally absorbs the colouring- matter.

Title: Improvements relating to Armature Windings for Commutator Electric Machines, especially applicable to High Speed Machines.
Filed: 1908-01-22
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 1546. Phoenix Dynamo Manufacturing Co., and Pohl, R. Jan. 22. Armatures, winding; cooling and ventilating.- The equalizing-conductors of a high-speed machine are distributed in a cylindrical form at the back of the armature in proximity to the shaft or spider, and the individual conductors are joined to the main armature winding by means of lugs, which may be secured against centrifugal action by securing them each to an insulated segment as in the usual commutator construction. The armature shaft is enlarged at the centre where it carries the laminations b, and this portion is provided with slots d, Fig. 3, each of which carries a group of conductors in rectangular metal tubes f closed at the top. Where they emerge from the slots d, the conductors, which are arranged in two layers, are spread out into a barrel winding and each conductor passes through one of the slots in the outer enlarged portion of the shaft. The ring 2, Fig. 1, or binding-wire, serves to keep the conductors in place. The ends of the main conductors h are joined to the return conductors t by lugs n, similar to commutator lugs, enlarged at the base and inserted in a wedge-shaped block o insulated from the shaft and secured in place between an inclined shoulder q on the shaft and a ring r pressed by a nut s. The blocks o, insulated from each other like commutator segments, together form a complete ring. The return conductors may further be secured by binding wire or bands between the lugs and the shaft enlargement, or the conductors may pass through the lugs and have binding wires on the outside. The lugs may be joined by strips v to the equalizing-rings w mounted within a recessed ring x secured upon the shaft. In a modification, the segmental blocks o are dispensed with, the lugs are secured to the main conductors and to the equalizing-conductors, and the wire binding upon the main conductors and the ring 2 upon the shaft serve to keep the end connexions from displacement. In this case, the equalizing-rings may be placed beneath the main winding. The slots d for the reception of the equalizing-leads may be formed in the armature laminations, and in the case of an armature provided with a spider, the leads may be formed in the spider. The lugs n may be inclined or curved so as to produce a fan action to ventilate the machine. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the end plates of the armature are preferably made in two parts, one being the plate proper, and the other, bolted to the first, the cylindrical support for the end connexions.

Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 22,179. Kitsee, I. Oct. 20. Telegraphs.-In a cable telegraph system, an automatic or other transmitter 5 sends to line alternate positive and negative impulses of equal duration, which influence a polarized siphon recorder 23 normally tracing a continuous line, and cause it to interrupt this line so as to produce code characters. A code is used in which a 'dot' occurring alone or at the end of a word is represented by a line longer than the normal 'dash,' and a 'dash' occurring alone or at the end of a word by a still longer line. The time-interval between successive holes in the transmitter tape determines the character produced upon the recording tape. The siphon 28 normally rests over a hole 31 in the grooved shield 30, so that the trace is interrupted when the coil is deflected momentarily in either direction. The recorder may be replaced by an ordinary relay and Morse sounder.
