Abstract: 8435. Fairweather, W., [Underwood Typewriter Co.]. April 7. [Addition to 28,497/07.] Platen rotation for condensed-record work. The means described in the parent Specification is improved in that the latch for lengthening the forward rotation of the platen is arranged upon an oscillating disk. Secured to the spindle 2 of the platen 1 is a hub 9 of a wheel 10 having as many teeth as the usual line-spacing wheel 5. A pawl 12, pivoted at 13 to a hand-crank 14, has a pin 17, which normally occupies a segmental recess 18 in the rim 19 of a wheel 20 connected by a rod 21 with the frame 3, but which, when the crank is moved forwards, passes beneath the rim 19 and brings the pawl into engagement with the wheel 10. The pin 17 in moving from the recess 18 rotates a disk 23, Fig. 2, which is mounted in a circular recess 25 in the disk 20 and has a pin 26 engaging a slot 27. A cap-nut 29 is secured to the stem 24 and a spring 28 tends to hold the disk in the position shown in Fig. 8, the crank 14 being shown in Fig. 8 as having commenced its forward swing. During the backward swing of the crank, the pin 17 passes beneath a latch 22 on the disk 23, so that the movement of the platen is prolonged beyond the forward end of the recess 18. A spring 33, 34 engages the pawl, springs it away from the wheel 10, and causes the pin 17 to re-enter the recess 18. The return stroke of the crank is limited by a stop 36, and the forward stroke by an adjustable stop 32.

Title: Improvements in Sheet Delivery Apparatus, particularly applicable to Printing Machines of the Wharfedale Bottom Feed Stop Cylinder Type.
Inventor: BEEVERS GEORGE
IPC: B65H29/16
Filed: 1910-02-15
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 3677. Beevers, G., and Beevers, A. Feb. 15. Delivery apparatus.-In a drop-sheet delivery apparatus, more particularly for Wharfedale stop-cylinder machines, the sheets are taken from the impression cylinder D by grippers 55 on revolving arms 57, and are dropped on to reciprocating tapes attached at one end to a travelling carriage 2, and at the other end wound on a roller 5. From these tapes, the sheets are pushed by movable fingers 70 on to the underlying drop-sheet delivery tapes 6. The tapes 6 are carried by shafts 8, 9, mounted in the sliding racks 10, reciprocated by crank and gearing from the shaft C. The racks 10 and the carriage 2 are coupled by tapes 25 passing over pulleys 31, 32, so that they move at equal rates in opposite directions. The gripper arms 57 are mounted on a shaft 51 geared to the cylinder D. When opposite the cylinder gap D', the grippers are operated by a cam on the cylinder engaging the roller 60, and they lift the front end of the sheet above the plane of the tapes attached to the carriage 2, which is then in its extreme right-hand position. The grippers then stop, and the carriage 2, in its movement to the left, lifts the hanging sheet on to the tapes, the grippers 55 being operated to release the sheet at the end of the carriage travel by a lever 63 operated through a cam on the loose wheel on the cylinder shaft, and engaging a finger 62 on the gripper shaft. By this time, the tapes 6 have travelled to beneath the upper tapes, and a stop 73 on the stationary side frame engages a finger on the shaft 71 and tilts the fingers 70 up into a position to engage the back end of the sheet; on the return movement, these fingers 70 push the sheet on to the tapes 6, which are operated through the usual free-wheel device to drop the sheet on the next inward movement. The fingers 70 are lowered by a stop 74. The upper tapes are kept in tension by a cord wound round a drum on the shaft of the roller 5, and attached to a weight 24, Fig. 1. The fixed slide frames H, I may be jointed as at 36, and can be lifted up in order to give better access to the forme &c. for cleaning. The movable portion, together with the gripper mechanism, is supported on rods 42 and counterbalanced by a weight 49.

Title: Improvements relating to Alternating Electric Current Motors.
IPC: H02K27/28
Filed: 1910-08-17
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 19,359. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Aug. 17. Alternating - current commutator machines; controlling.-Relates to alternating- current commutator motors which are operated as braking - generators by short - circuiting the armature winding A, Fig. 3, through slip-rings C and resistances G or equivalent devices, and consists in controlling the braking speed by varying the number of poles of the stator winding. As shown, for motor operation with four poles, the compensating or inducing winding of a series or repulsion motor is in two sections D, D<1>, which, with the exciting-windings E, and brushes B, are connected to contacts of a controlling-switch H. On bringing the contact-fingers 1-16 into engagement with the lower contacts III, the machine is connected to line as a four-pole compensated series motor. For electric braking at a speed corresponding to four poles, the contact-plates I are brought into engagement with the contactfingers so that the rotor winding A is shortcircuited through the resistances G, the exciting-windings E and brushes B being disconnected. For braking at the higher speed corresponding to two poles, the switch H is moved into position II, the connexion of the coils D<1> being reversed, and the circuit of the slip-ring brushes opened. Since the slip-rings C now connect points of maximum potential difference, they act as direct short-circuits for the winding, and external connexions are unnecessary. A developed winding for a motor which works with eight poles for motor-operation, and with eight and four poles for braking, is shown in Fig. 4. The exciting-windings E are provided with terminals e, and the inducing or compensating winding is divided into two sections D, D' having corresponding terminals d, d<1>. Each section comprises two pairs of coils or coil groups, which are arranged alternately with those of the other section so that the outside conductors of the pairs of coils lie side by side. For the eight-pole connexion, the righthand terminals d, d<1> are joined together, and the left-hand terminals d, d<1> are connected to the supply, while for the four-pole braking, the right-hand terminal d is connected to the lefthand terminal d', and the other two terminals are connected to the supply. The armature has a standard eight-pole multiple or lap winding, with three collecting-rings and three equalizing- connexions, each connected to four equidistant commutator segments.
