Title: Improvements in or relating to templets for spacing loose objects
IPC: H01J19/46
Filed: 1949-06-10
Abstract: 662,008. Gauging-devices; making cages, electric fittings, gates, gratings and ladders. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL, Ltd. June 10, 1949 [June 15, 1948], No. 15515/49. Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iii). [Also in Group XL (a)] A gauging-device or templet 8 for spacing objects 4-7 by longitudinal displacement at right angles to their axes has parallel-sided projections 9 of unequal length, the lengths of the sides of the projections increasing or decreasing from at least one side of the templet to its centre-line. The objects, such as cylindrical electrodes 4-7 of an electric discharge tube, are placed between abutments 3 on a pair of spaced supports 1 and a pair of spaced templets 8 are moved down to engage the support tubes 25 of electrodes 5, 6 and 7 and the central electrode 4 itself and displace them through the stages II, III and IV, Fig. 1, until they are finally spaced and fixed in the required position V. The ends of the teeth may lie on straight lines intersecting at the centreline, or on curved lines, or the length of the longest side may equal the shorter side of the previous tooth and, as in Fig. 4, the end may be curved concavely or convexly. The longer teeth may be in the centre of the templets, as in Fig. 6b, in which case the supports have a central cavity 17 for locating the central object or, if the objects are not required to be in the same plane, have a concave surface. The ends of the teeth may also slope uniformly from one side to the other of the templet or be of uniform length on one side of the templet and increase in length outwardly on the other side, Fig. 7b, in which cases the surface of the supports is also inclined in the same direction. The templets may also be used for making gratings, ladders, engine-room walkways, cages, gates or chair backs. In making chair backs, one templet may have wider teeth than the other so that the rods are arranged fan-wise. In a modification as shown in Fig. 8, a templet having concentric lands 18-21 is used for spacing cylinders coaxially so that the spaces between them may be filled with insulating powder and the whole drawn or swaged to form electrode systems as described in Specification 624,009, [Group XL (b)], or to form cylindrical electrical capacitors. Specification 665,312, [Group V], also is referred to.

The oxidant gas may contain at least 50 mol. per cent most preferably 90 mol. per cent of molecular oxygen and the fuel gas used may contain a substantial proportion of hydrocarbons. The combustion reaction may be adjusted so as to effect a heat release rate of at least 30 x 10<SP>6</SP> BTU's per hour per cu. ft. of combustion space. The combustion may be carried out at between 5 and 50 p.s.i.g. preferably between 10 and 30 p.s.i.g. and the temperature level during the reaction preferably reaches 4500 F. The proportion of oxidant to fuel may be adjusted to provide from 70% to 500% of the oxygen theoretically required for complete combustion and the amount of feedstock injected is adjusted to give a theoretical overall per cent combustion of between 10% and 50%. The feedstock may be injected at that point where the kinetic head is equivalent to at least 5 p.s.i. and the jets may be discharged through orifices between 0À01 and 0À04 inches in diameter. The pressure behind the jets may be at least 100 p.s.i. and the quenching step may take place from 5 to 100 milliseconds after the injection. Preferably after injection, the gas stream is allowed to expand to a much greater cross-sectional area. The walls of the furnace used may be constructed of a material of high thermal conductivity, e.g. a metal, and may incorporate cooling means. The fuel may be introduced in a series of parallel streams, e.g. via plate 28 in Fig. 1, or the fuel and the oxidant gas may be introduced through respective members of pairs of intersecting nozzles.

Abstract: 1,037,798. Automatic exchange systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. April 17, 1964 [April 23, 1963], No. 15986/64. Heading H4K. Subscribers in a P.A.B.X. may send frequently wanted numbers by operating a special key to obtain an automatic number sender which will produce the wanted number in response to a shortened code sent from the subscriber's instrument, a subscriber being able to erase the number associated with a shortened code and substitute a new number by leaving his handset on-hook, sending the shortened code, and then sending the new number. The subscribers have code senders and in the normal sending of a number a register receives the codes and seizes a sender to transmit the equivalent impulse trains. Where a frequently wanted number is involved the abbreviated code is sent to locate the one of thirty saturable core matrices in which frequently wanted numbers are stored. The abbreviated codes are transmitted by way of the register to two sets of four relays from which they are translated into tens and units markings to operate one out of thirty double wound relays to connect up the wanted matrix. A scanner reads a selected matrix row by row to a set of four relays which feed the sender which transmits the equivalent impulse trains. Should a new number require storing in a matrix a subscriber leaves his handset down and operates his special key to prepare an erasing circuit for the matrix selected by the abbreviated code sent. The new number is then recorded in the matrix, each coded digit being transferred direct from the register to the selected matrix.
