Abstract: 20,896. Hardingham, G. G. M., [Huntington, T.]. Sept. 8. [Cognate Application, 8035/11.] Distilling zinc. - Zinc is distilled from its ores &c. in a closed converter-like vessel provided with an air-cooled or water-cooled hearth or outlet, the charge of ore with excess of fuel being smelted by a downdraught. The charge is composed so that a sintering is effected without a complete smelting, and for this purpose, limestone, iron ore, or silica is added to the materials used; also, the proportion of fuel, the thickness of the charge, and the pressure of the blast are so controlled that the gases escaping with the zinc vapour are free from oxidizing- elements. Water or other liquid may be added to the charge in order to form fine channels throughout the mass. The converter a has a hollow hearth d, through which air passes on its way to the inlet c at the top of the vessel. The hood or cover b may be lifted to enable the converter to be turned about its trunnions f, the blast-pipe c<1> making free joints at i and j. Specification 12,198/09 is referred to.
Patent GB-191026340-A (GB)
Title: Automatic Safety-controlling Device for Aerial Machines especially Aeroplanes.
Inventor: WETTERWALD JOSEPH
IPC: B64C17/00
Filed: 1910-11-12
Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 26,340. Wetterwald, J. Nov. 12. Steering and balancing. - In order to counteract the unequal effects of vertical and lateral air currents on the two sides of an aeroplane or other flying- machine, horizontal and vertical pivoted balancing-planes are provided at each side of the machine and connected together. A supplementary pendulum control is provided, which acts on the balancing-planes to produce stability in case the machine tilts about a longitudinal axis. Balancing-planes 4, 5, Fig. 5, are pivoted about axes 3, parallel to the line of flight, to the extremities of the main plane 2. The planes 4, 5 are connected by rods 30 to the upper ends of levers 28 centrally pivoted on a fixed bracket 34. The ends of the levers 28 are connected by links 29, 31 to the rear of pairs of vertical planes 26, which are pivoted together at their forward end and diverge towards the rear. The upper end of the left-hand lever 28 is connected by a rod 14 to a lever 12 centrally pivoted at the point 13 to the stem 9 of the pendulum. The inner one of the planes 26 at the right-hand side of the machine is connected by a rod 15 to the lever 12. In operation, changes in the air pressures on the side planes due to variations in speed cause a similar movement of the planes at each side, the lever 12 rocking about its fulcrum 13. An air current moving upwards one of the side planes, say the plane 5, rocks the lever 28, thereby causing the planes 26 on that side to collapse, the rod 14 pulls on the lever 12 and displaces the pendulum 9 against the action of centralizing-springs 18, 19, thereby actuating lateral balancing-planes 6, 7 in opposite senses through the cords 21. A side wind acting on the vertical planes 26 at one side of the machine produces a movement of the horizontal plane 4 or 5 and a corresponding movement of the planes on the other side. When the machine tilts laterally the pendulum moves the pivot 13 of the lever 12 relatively to the machine and gives to the planes 4, 5, 6, 7, and 26 opposite movements at the two sides of the machine. Similar arrangements may be provided to produce stability in a longitudinal direction. The pendulum may be provided with a hand-lever for manually controlling the planes, or the side balancing-planes 6, 7 may be controlled manually.
