Title: Apparatus for composite continuous casting
Inventor: JOHNSON ROBERT WILLIAM
IPC: B22D19/16
Filed: 1988-05-12
Abstract: A die device (10) has inlets (11, 12) which lead to first and second passages (14, 22) respectively. The first passage (14) has an upstream portion (15) for cooling and solidifying a first metal, and a downstream portion (16); and the second passage (22) has an upstream portion (21) for cooling and solidifying the second metal, said portion (21) being contiguous with the downstream portion (16) of the first passage. Thus, the second metal is solidified and cooled in intimate contact with the solidified first metal.

Patent GB-892076-A (GB)
Abstract: 892,076. Interconnection systems. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Nov. 10, 1960 [Nov. 26, 1959], No. 40234/59. Class 40 (4). In a system in which any one of a group of extensions at one end of a line L can communicate with any one of a similar group at the other end, the connection to the line at each end is made by a set of relays IR ... NR which are controlled directly by keys at the extensions at the calling end and by selecting impulses at the called end. The number of impulses sent from the calling end is determined by a second set of relays IS . . . MS also controlled by the extension keys. The circuits of the relays are such -that only one of each set can be operated at a time. The extensions are provided with loud-speakers LMI . . . LMN, one of which is connected by the operated R relay to the line by way of a common amplifier A preferably of the kind described in Specification 871,583 having its connections reversible by a relay TL controlled by talk/listen keys lk . . . nk. When a calling key is actuated and the appropriate R and S relays are operated, impulse relay LU interacts with the stepping magnet MU2 of switch U2 to send A.C. impulses to line from an oscillator O1 until the switch reaches a position in which there is no further circuit for LU on account of the operated S relay. Relay LV, which is normally operative, releases during impulsing and disables the amplifier A. At the called end of the line, the selecting impulses pass via a detector DD to relay LZ and effect the stepping of switch U3. At the end of impulsing, the re-operation of LV, which is released during the train, connects up the appropriate R relay to complete the desired connection. Ringing tone is applied from a generator RO to both the calling and called extensions, and when the talk/listen key of the called extension is actuated, TL connects up LG to open the ringing circuit. Relay LY is operative at the calling end to disconnect the detector DD, and engaged lamps LS1 . . . LSn are lighted at all the extensions at both ends. At the end of the call, the key at the calling extension is restored by the actuation of a cancel button. The operated R and S relays go back, and switch U2 continues stepping to normal. Switch U1, which has already taken one step, now steps to normal and relay LW is operative, sending an A.C. release signal from an oscillator 02. This passes at the called end via detector DD to relay LX and causes switch U3 to advance to normal.
