Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Relay Apparatus.
Inventor: TAYLOR JOHN DANIELS
IPC: B61L1/18
Filed: 1912-11-16
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 26,351. Taylor, J. D. July 25, [Convention date]. Electrical systems, automatic. - A signalling system is shown in Fig. 4 comprising a motordriven relay having a centrifugal contactmember as described in Specification 5859/08, but operated by a polyphase induction motor. A rotor 6 is influenced by a field winding 4 directly connected to an alternator 46 and also by a second field winding 5 connected to the alternator by way of a transformer 48 and the track rails 42. The inductance of the separate circuits due to the inductive bonds 45 and to a reactance coil 51 is such that the windings differ in phase by 90 degrees. At the normal speed of rotation depending on the frequency of the alternator, the centrifugal governor device 15 keeps closed a contact 25 in a circuit actuating a signal 50, which is thereby maintained in its ' safety ' position. A train coming on the track 42 short-circuits the winding 5, thus causing the current in the other winding 4 to act as a brake and bring the motor to rest, opening the contact 25, and allowing the signal to go to ' danger.' To prevent actuation of the relay by current leaking from an adjacent railsection, the transformers 48, 49 of adjacent sections are reversely connected to the rails, and the relay is constructed so that it can only rotate in the desired direction.

Title: Hot Water Heating Systems.
Inventor: ALLMAN DAVID WILLIAM
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 1912-12-14
Granted: 1914-01-14
Abstract: 28,845. Allman, D. W. Dec. 14. Internally-fired boilers.-The supply of heating- medium to a boiler is controlled by the water so that, on the level falling or rising beyond two predetermined points, the supply is shut off. Water enters at 56, passes the float-controlled valve 62, and fills the outer casing 36 ; from here it flows to the heating-element 47, thence upwards to the chamber formed between the casings 41, 42, gaining admittance to the inner casing 42 through perforations 70 and to the annular water chamber 46 by way of the pipe 43. In the case of a gas-heated boiler, the rising of the water in the casing 42 first lifts the float 86, which raises the tubular spindle 74 and the valve 73. Gas can now flow to the main burner past the normally open valve 80. A suitable level of water having been reached, the float 69 cuts off the supply. Under the influence of the heating, the volume of water in the heater expands until, at a suitable temperature, the expansion of the water lifts the float 92 and the rod 87, thus closing the valve 80 to the burner. Hot water can be drawn off from the pipe 2. The boiler may be heated by electricity, switches being substituted for the valves.

Title: Improvements in connection with the Removal of Ammonia from Coal Gases and the like.
Filed: 1914-03-10
Granted: 1915-06-03
Abstract: 6061. Schuster, N., and British Coke Ovens, Ltd. March 10. Ammonia, distilling.- Ammoniacal liquors obtained in purifying coal and like gases are distilled by a current of gas which is withdrawn from the gas main after it has been freed from heavy hydrocarbons and is reheated, and the resulting mixture of gas and ammonia is returned to the gas-main at a point where the pressure is lower than that of the ammonia - bearing gas, the whole of the gas and the ammonia passing together to a saturator. The plant comprises a tower 2, a water-cooled condenser 19, and a tarextractor 20, through which the gas is drawn by an exhauster 21, the gas being discharged through a. pressure main 7 into a cooler 23 and a saturator 22. Gas is withdrawn from the pressure main 7 by a pipe 45 and is led through a reheater 46 into the ammonia still 40, the resulting mixture of gas and ammonia being returned by a pipe 47 to the suction side of the pump 21. Tar and ammoniacal liquor are collected from a tar receiver 11 at the base of the tower 2, the pitch basin 13, condenser 19, and tarextractor 20, and are discharged into a vessel 25, whence they flow to a settling-tank 34. The ammoniacal liquor overflows into a tank 35 whence it is pumped through a preheater 37 into the top of the still 40. Before entering the still the liquid is preferably heated to 230‹ F., and the coal gas is heated to 212-750‹ F.
