Abstract: 20,586. Ferguson, T. Sept. 17, 1910, [Convention date]. Regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for. - A regulator for dynamo-electric machines consists of a mechanically continuously operated member and an electrically-operated member, the operations of which combine to vary the field of the dynamo. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a lever m is continuously oscillated by means of a spring n and cam k. A switch member p, in the position shown, shortcircuits a resistance e in the circuit of the field winding g, the short-circuit being removed when a member s is electro - magnetically introduced between the parts m<1>, p<1> of the levers m, p. In a modification, the member s is tapered, and the make-and-break contacts are in the form of renewable carbons, between which arcing occurs when they are slightly separated, thereby varying the resistance in parallel with the resistance e. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the lever p varies the pressure on an adjustable carbon pile z, and finally breaks the circuit by raising the contact z'. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the regulating-resistance is connected between the lead y<5> and brush w<1>, this resistance being continuously short-circuited by a rotary interrupter consisting of a rotating conducting cylinder u having an insulating portion w<2> and brushes w, w<1>. The shaft u<1> of the cylinder u carries a cam k, which continuously oscillates the lever m. In the position of the lever m, shown in Fig. 4, it locks the lever y against the action of the magnet y<1>, if such action is sufficient to overcome the spring y<4>; hut upon further rotation of the cam, the lever m is withdrawn by means of the spring n simultaneously with the engagement of the insulating-portion w<2> and brush w<1>.
