Abstract: 1465. Dunn, E. A. Jan. 19. Index cards.-An index filing - device comprises a number of sets of cards 1, 2, 3, and 4, each set having a row of tabs in different lateral positions. The tabs at, say, the extreme left 1<a> bear main divisions of the alphabet. The next row of tabs 2<a> bears subdivisions of the alphabet on the left-hand side, and distinguishing numerals on the right-hand side. The third row of tabs 4<a> is on cards formed as folders 4 and bears exactly similar letters and numerals as the second row of tabs 2<a>, the folders 4 being equal in number to the cards 2. The tabs in the fourth row 3<a> are also on folders and bear on their left side the numerals by which the second and third rows are designated. These tabs 3<a> also display information indicating the nature of the matter filed thereunder. Other cards 5, 7 and cross-index cards 6 bearing tabs may also be provided. All the cards 1, 2 and the folders 3, and preferably the folders 4 and cards 5, carry on their front faces a complete list of the alphabetical subdivisions and corresponding numerals. The tabs 4<a> are preferably coloured. The rows of tabs may be arranged in other ways, for example, the positions described may be reversed, the tabs 1<a> being placed on the extreme right &c. In a modification, a set of cards is provided having tabs for Christian and firm names, ten cards with these minor subdivisions being provided for each major subdivision. An application to a card ledger is described, the cards being smaller and each bearing a list of only one half of the alphabetical subdivisions and numerals, that is, from A to L or M to Z.

Abstract: 22,133. ChassÚriaud, R. Oct. 7. Anemometers. - The velocity of the air is obtained bv observing the time taken by pulsations in the air to traverse the distance between two devices sensitive to the pulsations. One such apparatus, shown in Fig. 3, consists of a mass a of iron filings or the like placed in the field of an electro-magnet b. The action of the atmospheric pulsations on the mass a affects the current in the circuit c and these variations may be indicated by a telephone d or bv an ammeter e. Two devices of this or other suitable kind are placed at a known distance apart, and the variations in the currents in the two circuits may be recorded on a revolving drum. Two curves such as A, B, Fig. 1, are obtained. The points 1, 1<1> represent the same pulsation at the two points of ohservation, and the time represented by the distance x is the time taken bv the air to traverse the distance between the two devices.

Abstract: 12,329. Warner International and Overseas Engineering Co., and Hour, R. C. May 24. Axle-trucks; underframing of bodies. - The body is mounted upon the underframe, or the body or underframe is mounted upon the axles, by members in tension or in compression arranged in pairs in, such a manner that, when displacement occurs, the parts tend to resume the normal position. Figs. 1, 1<a>, 1<b>, and 2<a> show diagrammatically examples of methods of employing a pair of struts. The struts c, Fig. 1, have their ends disposed in recesses in the parts a, b to be connected, and are so inclined that, when displacement occurs, one strut ceases to function and the parts tend to resume the normal position. The upper or lower ends of each strut may be slotted as shown at c<1>, Fig. 1<b>, to engage one or more pins in the part a or b, and the struts may be used in combination with a link d or with two links d connected by a tie-rod e, Fig. 2<a>. Each strut may be fitted with a compression spring c<0>, Fig. 1<a>, of limited stroke. Figs. 5, 5<a>, and 5<b> show similarly examples of methods of employing a pair of tension members c. Figs. 7 and 7<a> show diagrammatically an arrangement of tension members c on opposite sides of the axle-box b of a truck adapted to turn about a king-pin a<0>. Struts may be used instead of the tension members c, or one strut c may be used in combination with a tension member c<Î> on the opposite side of the axle, as shown diagrammatically in Fig. 9 and in detail in Fig. 13, or a pair of struts or tension members may be used on one or both sides of the axle. The body frame a, Fig. 13, is adapted to turn about a king-pin u in relation to the axle-truck b, the struts c being disposed at the outer corners and the tension members c<X> at the inner corners of the truck. Each strut c is of the type that bears normally at two points on one of the parts to be connected, for which purpose two projections f<1>, Fig. 15, on the strut engage recesses f<2> in a bracket m secured to the frame a. The lower end of the strut is connected by a ball - and - socket joint to a link d pivoted to the axle-truck b. Leaf springs j are provided to assist the return of the strut to normal position, and stops t on the bracket m limit the displacement.
