Abstract: 22,762. Anderson, F. J. Oct. 21. Slide rules.-In a slide rule of the dial type, logarithms are marked off in units of angle on a spiral curve, whereby the diminishing first-difference of the logarithm is balanced by the increase in the linear scale on which setting takes place. Graduated radial arms carry scales indicating t e points at which results are to be looked for. The inner and outer discs, Fig. 1, can be relatively rotated, and may have their circumferences divided into corresponding coloured sections I, J, K, L. The index arm A is attached to a barrel-piece Q, Fig. 2, clamped on the central spindle P, by the screw R, the traveller arm C being also centrally pivoted and carrying a scale E which can slide radially. Pointers D, B can be clamped to this scale, and both have reading edges for the edge scale of the arm C, while B has also an edge reading on the slide. The fixed scales on the two arms are coloured according to the quadrants. A supplementary arm T, sliding telescopically under the central disc, can be drawn out at the 100 graduation by means of a stud W, and is used in three factor multiplications and divisions in order to clamp the index arm one factor in front or behind it, before setting for the other two factors in the usual manner. Constants may be marked on the scales and the units and subdivisions distinguished by different colourings.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Logotype or Type Bar Casting Mechanism.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1904-10-06
Granted: 1905-07-13
Abstract: 21,467. Boult, A. J., [Bellows, B. F.]. Oct. 6. Linotype machines.-Relates to casting - mechanism for logotypes or type-bars. The matrices are pushed from an assembling-rail 14, Fig. 6, on to a shelf 12 formed on a vertically-movable piece 13 which, after casting, elevates the matrices for distribution. The mould consists of an arm 3 carried by a rock-shaft 4 which by segmental gear 5, 6 causes the mould cavity 1 to assume a horizontal position for casting and a vertical position for ejecting. The casting-pot is carried by a part 17, Fig. 5, capable of being slid by toggles 22 to force the nozzle 10 against the mould 3. The piece 13 is also capable of being moved horizontally by toggles 21 acting on a supporting-slide 15 to press the matrices against the mould. To clamp the matrices in position, a bar 30 slid, under the action of a spring lever 36 along its supporting-rod 34, falls by gravity in line with the matrices, the bar being raised in the return movement by an inclined slot in the carrier 33 acting on a pin projecting from the bar. The bar 30 serves also to close the extending part of the mould cavity when a short line is being cast. The yoke carrying the plunger rod 56 is raised by a rod 54 acted on by an arm 53 of a rock-shaft 52, another arm 51 of which is operated by a cam 43. A sudden release causes a spring to act on the plunger to eject the metal. The rear edge of the cast type-bar is sheared by a knife 45, Fig. 2, during the passage of the mould arm 3 from the horizontal to the vertical position, and the sides are sheared by knives 47, between which the type-bar is forced by the ejector blade. The type-bar passes down an inclined channel 49 to the galley. In order to put the cam shaft 66 in gear at the proper time with the constantlyrotating wheel 67, the latter is provided with notches 68, Fig. 8, to engage a clutch-pin 69 which is held in the retracted position by an arm 73 of a lever. The arm enters a slot 71 of the cam-like piece 63, Figs. 8 and 9, carrying the clutch-pin and presses against the inclined shoulder 72 of the pin. To release the clutch-pin, the arm 73 is withdrawn by the operator or by automatic means.
