Title: Method of Decomposing Hydrocarbons.
Inventor: LESSING RUDOLH
IPC: C01B3/24
Filed: 1909-06-28
Granted: 1910-06-28
Abstract: 15,071. Lessing, R. June 28. Carbon; hydrogen.-Carbon is obtained in a pure unmixed state by decomposing hydrocarbon gases in heated retorts, chambers, coke ovens, or the like, which are either empty or partly or completely charged only with carbon such as is obtained by the said decomposition; hydrogen passes off. The gas, especially coal-gas, may be preheated prior to its entering the retort, as by using the heat of the issuing hydrogen, so as to obtain a preliminary decomposition of the heavy hydrocarbons, giving a carbon of lower density. In the retort proper, the temperature is 1000-1300‹ C. The carbon produced is deposited upon the carbon charge and the walls; it is from time to time removed, wholly or partly, when there are signs of obstruction to the required flow of gas, and is then replaced by a fresh charge. If the carbon charge is omitted, carbon is deposited on the walls as a fine powder instead of as the denser product usually obtained.

Title: Improvements in Auto-pneumatic Music Playing Instruments.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1909-08-30
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 19,843. Fairweather, W., [Wilcox & White Co.]. Aug. 30. Winding-mechanism; music spools. - Rolls having the expression marks on either the inside or outside of the rolled sheet may be used, the marked faces being exposed to the operator during winding in both cases. The winding in the two cases is in opposite directions across the tracker. The apparatus comprises three driving- sockets 5, 7, 8, Fig. 1, and spools 35, 36 which can be mounted in different positions thereon. Music marked on the inside is wound upwards, as shown in Fig. 1, from the spool 36 to the spool 35, the latter spool being driven through the socket 5 and gears 28, 27 from the main driving-shaft 21. A rapid rewind is obtained by shifting the shaft 21 to the left, which disconnects the gears 27, 28 and clutches in the sprocket 22 which drives the socket 7 through the sprocket 13. For music marked on the outside, the take-up spool 35 is mounted on the socket 7, and the delivery spool is mounted on the socket 8. The spool 35 has an extended axle, which operates clutch mechanism to disconnect the socket 7 from the sprocket 13, and to connect it to sprocket 12. Winding therefore takes place through the gears 27, 28, 33, and 12. A rapid rewind is obtained by shifting the driving-shaft 21 to the left, which cuts out the gear 28 and clutches in the sprocket 23, which drives the sprocket 25 on the socket 8. The clutch - gear for driving the socket 7 at slow speed when it carries the take-up spool 35 is shown in Fig. 6. When the extended axle of the spool is inserted in the socket 7, it pushes back an internal shaft 15 carrying pins 16, 17 which project through slots in the socket. The shaft and socket are thereby disengaged from the sprocket 13, and connected to the sprocket 12. Tongues 14 prevent lateral shifting of the sprockets 12, 13.
