Title: Improvements relating to the Decarburization of Cast Iron.
Inventor: RUEBEL WALTER
Filed: 1908-05-28
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 11,598. R³bel, W. May 28, Malleable cast iron.-Cast iron is decarburized, in either the solid or molten state, by the use of molten alkaline hydroxide In the solid state, the iron castings are covered with molten sodium hydrate in a retort or muffle and heated to a temperatue of about 1050-1150‹ C. The gases and vapours escaping from the retort, the internal working pressure of which is about two atmospheres, pass through liquid ammonia for the absorption of the sodium liberated, the gas being returned to the furnace. In the molten state, the iron from a furnace and the hydrate from an adjacent retort flow through regulating-gates into a common outer hearth. The reaction between the materials is given by the equation :- FeC2 + 6 NaOH = Fe + 2 Na2CO3 + 2 Na + 3 H2.

Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 17,161. Ashington Coal Co., and McKie, T. Aug. 14. Distributing; switches.-Leakage current from a normally neutral point in a circuit, such as the frame of a motor 3, opens a main switch 10 controlling the circuit, and operates an indicator 13 adjacent thereto ; this indicator closes, by a switch 16, the circuit of another indicator 19 and a bell 51 at the power station, and the operation of this indicator closes, by a switch 22, a circuit containing lamps or other visual indicators 26. The main switch 10 may be released by a solenoid 4, which is traversed by the leakage current and releases a weighted lever 7. This strikes a trigger 9, which allows the switch 10 to open under the influence of a spring 12. Several circuits may be connected similarly, the leakage current from all the circuits returning to the generator by a lead 1, and being registered by a recording-ammeter 47. A choking- coil and a fuse are inserted in the return lead 1.

Title: A New or Improved Automatic Voltage Control.
Inventor: LEITNER HENRY
Filed: 1908-09-12
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 19,223. Leitner, H. Sept. 12. Regulating.-The voltage of an electric distribution system is regulated by two pairs of relays, one pair of which controls the upward limit, while the other pair controls the downward limit. The relays control the circuit of a motor operating a rheostat or other regulating - device. The relay 1 is provided with fixed contacts i<2>, i<3>, i<4>, i<5>, f<2>, f<3>, f<4>, and movable contacts i, i<1>, f, f<1> mounted upon a spring-controlled armature c'. The relay 2 is provided with a spring- controlled armature c<2> carrying a contact j adapted to engage with a fixed contact j'. These two relays control the upward limit of the voltage, and are provided with de-energizing windings e', e<2>, respectively. The relay 3 is provided with fixed contacts l<2>, l<3>, l<4>, l<5>, k<2>, k<3>, k<4> , and movable contacts l, l<1>, k, k<1> mounted upon a spring-controlled armature c<3>. The relay 4 is provided with a spring- controlled armature c<4> carrying a contact m adapted to engage with a fixed contact m<1>. These two relays control the downward limit of the voltage, and are provided wit h a strengthening- winding e<3> and a strengthening or de-energizing winding e<4>, respectively. Under normal conditions, the parts are arranged as shown in Fig. 1. If, however, the voltage rises to the upward limit, the armature c<1> of the relay 1 is attracted, closing the circuit of the motor g and that of the de-energizing winding e' of the relay 2. The motor g then operates to increase the resistance in the regulated circuit a, b, and, as soon as the normal voltage is reached, the weakened relay 2 releases its armature c<2>, causing the contacts j, j<1> to complete the circuit of the de-energizing winding e'. The weakened relay 1 releases its armature c<1>, which breaks the motor circuit. When the voltage falls below its normal value, the spring d causes the armature c<3> to close the circuit of the motor g and cause the winding e<4> to assist the permanently-closed coil of the relay 4. The motor g then operates to reduce the resistance in the circuit a, b, while the relay 4 operates to close the circuit of the strengthening-winding e<3> of the relay 3. When the voltage rises to its normal value, the armature c<3> is pulled back to its normal position, as shown in Fig. 1, thereby causing the winding e<4> to act as a de - energizing winding to release the armature c', which open-circuits the winding e<3>.
