Inventor: STEPHENSON EDWARD
Filed: 1905-12-02
Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 25,016. Stephenson, E. Dec. 2. W a t e r, purifying and softening; liquids, purifying.-Apparatus for adding reagents in definite proportions to water or other liquids consists of a combination of an oscillating bucket A and a quadrant scoop H such as are described respectively in Specifications No. 3731, A.D. 1886, and No. 13,069, A.D. 1901. The spindle D of the bucket A to which the water &c. is supplied carries a spur-wheel or segment E gearing with another G to which the reagent scoop H is attached. Screws K, K<1>, working in brackets J, J<1>, form stops which limit the oscillation of the bucket, and consequently the inclination of the quadrant H, as it delivers into the spout as indicated by the arrow N. The proportions of water &c. and reagent can thus be regulated by means of the screws.

Patent GB-190620802-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture and Production of a New Dyestuff of the Oxazine Series and its Leuco-derivative
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1906-09-19
Granted: 1907-08-01
Abstract: 20,802. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken, vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Sept. 19. Dyes, artificial. - A new dye-stuff, which is insoluble in sodium carbonate solution but dissolves to a pure blue colour in hydrochloric acid of 20‹ BÚ., is obtained by the continued heating of ordinary gallocyanine (obtained from nitrosodimethylaniline and gallic acid) or its alkali salts, in suspension or in solution. The hydrochloride of the base is a dark green powder soluble in water with a reddish - violet colour, and the dye-stuff is distinguished from gallocyanine by the greater solubility of its hydrochloride, and by its redder and purer shades. It yields a new leuco body on reduction. The leuco body is also obtained by beating gallocyanine with alkaline reducing-agents, preferably in the presence of caustic soda, sodium carbonate, or other alkaline substances, for a considerably longer time than is necessary for the production of the known leuco-compound. It may also be obtained by heating leuco-gallocyanine for some hours in neutral or alkaline solution. In both cases, the reaction is complete when a test portion, after acidulation, filtration, neutralization of the filtrate, and oxidation of the precipitated leuco body by air, yields a dye-stuff insoluble in sodium carbonate solution, but soluble to a pure blue colour in hydrochloric acid of 20‹ BÚ. In an example, sodium sulphide is employed as an alkaline reducing-agent in presence of caustic soda. The leuco base dissolves in concentrated sulphuric acid to a yellow colour. The hydrochloride of the leuco body is a greenish-black-powder, easily soluble in water to a yellowish-green colour soon turning blue in consequence of oxidation. It is almost insoluble in alcohol. On the addition of sodium carbonate and acetafe to the aqueous solution of the hydrochloride, the free base separates, oxidizing very rapidly on exposure to air to the new dye-stuff. The leuco body is more soluble than leuco-gallocyanine, and easily produces the chrome lake of the rew dye when used in printing. Specifications No. 21,415, A.D. 1898, and No. 7835, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Electrolysis], are referred to.
