Abstract: 18,437. Lake, W. E., [J. B. M. Electric Co.]. Aug. 10. Resistances, carbon. In an electromagnetic regulator, the blocks m, n of compressible resistances are supported by porcelain tubes o, p, and are controlled by a coil H and a spring U acting through levers J, P, W. A rod Q bearing against the blocks m is pivoted to the lever P, which is itself pivoted at Z to a lever M and at the other end is engaged bv a roller S on the lever J. As the current in the coil H diminishes the resistance m is reduced until a certain degree of compression has been reached. when the lever M turns about its pivot L against the action of a spring O. Further movement of the lever J connects the resistance n in parallel with the resistance m and effects compression by means of the lever W.

Abstract: 2327. Leitner, H. Jan. 28. [Cognate Application, 12,455/14.] Dynamos, regulating.- A variable-speed generator for supplying a battery and lamp circuit, and normally regulated for speed variations; is provided with a reverse series field winding which is, rendered operative at a predetermined voltage so as to limit the current delivered to the battery. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, in which the generator A is regulated for speed variations as described in Specification 9655/05, a short-circuit b around the series winding a is opened by an electromagnet connected across the battery E. The switch b may be constructed to cut in the winding a in sections, or additional switches may be provided to cut in different sections at different voltages, or the short - circuiting switches may act upon a circuit in shunt to the winding a. In a further modification, the short-circuiting of the series winding is controlled by the cut-out G. The winding a may be inserted in the battery circuit only, and the electro-magnetic device b may be arranged to act at two voltages, at the higher one when the lamps are off, and at the lower one when the lamps are on. The cut-out device G may be provided with two additional contacts which, when the device is in the ' off' position, short-circuit the series winding a through the lamp switch when the lamps are on, but not when they are off. With the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the winding a assists the main field winding B when the lamps are on, and opposes it when the lamps are off. In addition to the switch b, a second switch n may be provided to vary the current in the field winding B after the switch b has operated, thereby still further reducing the battery-charging current. By means of a resistance r connected as shown, the switches b, n may be arranged to operate at the same voltage when the lamps are on. A resistance t prevents the switch b from operating before the cut-out device G has operated. The short-circuiting switches, after being operated, may be held by catches which may be withdrawn when the lamp circuit is connected up. In some types of machines, the series winding a may be placed on the interpoles.
