Abstract: 19,457. Fritsch, R. Aug. 31. Liquid meters; water and other liquid pressure engines.-A liquid meter, which can be used as a motor, comprises a cylinder, a hollow piston, and a piston valve working inside the piston. Figs. 1 and 2 are longitudinal sections ; Fig. 3 is a crosssection on the line A-A; Fig. 4 is a cross-section on the line B-B; and Fig. 5 is a cross-section on the line C-C. An inlet pipe b and outlet c are placed opposite each other on the cylinder a, their axes being in the same plane as the grooves q, r, s in the casing. The hollow piston d is prevented from rotating by a pin f. In the positions shown, water entering at b flows through the groove s and aperture o into the piston d, pushing the valve e to the left, and the liquid contained in the space between the valve and left-hand side of the piston escapes through the ports n, r, g to the outlet c. The apertures l, i are opened by this movement of the valve ; the entering liquid then flows through the ports &c. h, l, x, w, u behind the piston d and pushes it to the right, the liquid on the other side being emptied through the ports &c. t, v, y, i, g to the outlet c. This action continues until the groove s and aperture p are opened, when the liquid passes into the piston and pushes the valve e to the right. The other half of the cycle of operations is similar and oppositely directed.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Spring Apparatus for Guns Recoiling on the Carriage.
Inventor: DEPORT JOSEPH ALBERT
Filed: 1906-09-18
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 20,735. Deport, J. A. Sept. 18. Field carriages; mnuntings. - R e - lates to pneumatic running - out springs for recoiling guns and for other purposes, and consists in an arrangement whereby a long recoil stroke may be obtained while using only short air cylinders. Two pairs of cylinders E<1>, E<2> with their rods e<1>, e<2> are mounted on either side of a central recoil buffer. The outer ends of the rods e' are connected to a lug a on the gun A. The ends of the rods e<2> bear against the end plate b of the non-recoiling cradle B, so that when the gun recoils, the rods e' enter the cylinders E<1> and compress the air therein, and at the same time cause the cylinders to move with respect to the rods e<2> which are forced into the cylinders E<2>. The total recoil movement is thus about twice the length of a single cylinder. An annular valve for charging the cylinders consists of a disk n, Fig. 13, which is pressed upon its seat p by the compressed air within the cylinder., The valve is protected by a cap t. The two cylinders E<1>, E<2> may be connected by an internal or external conduit so that they may be charged together. In a modification, two cylinders are arranged in one direction and one in the opposite direction.

Title: Improvements in Steelyard Weighing Apparatus and the like.
Inventor: HIPKINS WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1907-01-25
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 1895. Hipkins, W. E. Jan. 25. Steelyard apparatus.-In a steelyard, means is provided for reducing the effective weight of the poise-weight to any desired minimum, thereby allowing an increase in the traverse of this weight when measuring minor divisions. A rack A, attached to the poise-weight B, meshes with a pinion C fixed in suitable bearings. Another rack E, which counterbalances the rack A, also gears with the pinion. As the poise-weight B is traversed forward, the rack E is correspondingly moved in the opposite direction, thus counterbalancing the poise-weight B and its attachment to a greater or less extent, according to the weight of the rack E. The weight B is attached to the rack A by a shank which moves in a slot G. A double pinion I may be used, causing a greater traverse of the rack K carrying the poise-weight M than of the rack L. Instead of racks and pinions, other means, such as levers, may be used for producing the differential motion.

Title: Improved Construction of Appliances for Indicating and/or Placing in the Proper Position Levy or similar Screens with regard to the Sensitized Plates or Films for Photographic Purposes.
Inventor: FARMER ERNEST HOWARD
Filed: 1907-02-08
Granted: 1908-02-08
Abstract: 3194. Farmer, E. H. Feb. 8. Photo-mechanical printing; crameras.-For indicating, or indicating and placing in the proper position Levy or similar screens, with regard to the sensitive plate, a graduated plate is used marked with lines crossing each other, one set indicating rulings, and the other set indicating ratios between the screen's distance and the size of one of its transparent spaces. The plate is combined with an indicator, which can be used either for directly indicating the position in which the screen is to be put, or may be connected with mechanism for automatically placing the screen in position. The rulings are based upon the principle that the form and relative positions of the light pencils passing through the screens should be kept constant. The stop used, camera extension, scale of reproduction, and other variables are suitably adjusted. For a given lens and stop, the ruling of the screen varies with distance from the plate, and the ratio screen aperture to screen distance is the same as the f-stop. Accordingly in the diagram, axes are taken to represent f-ratios, and screen rulings respectively, as shown in Fig. 1. A hinged indicator 5 then automatically indicates the distance at which any particular screen must be placed, on an auxiliary inch scale 4. Further, as the ratio screen distance to size of screen apertures is the same as the ratio lens distance to lens diameter, for a given stop, the axis indicating the ratios screen aperture to screen distance, represents variations of camera extensions and scales of reproduction. Such scales are indicated by scales x, y. The indicating-arm 5 and the diagram may be attached to a camera so that the arm acts as a stop to the frame carrying the screen, thus correctly positioning it. Alternatively, the spindle 16 of the indicator arm may carry a slotted crank-arm 17, Fig. 8, to position the screen automatically. To compensate for the thickness of the cover glass of Levy screens, the spindle 12 of the screen carrier has' a micrometer-screw attachment 15, Fig. 6. According to the Provisional Specification, a system of circular segments are used to represent the screen rulings, instead of the system above described.
