Abstract: 2611. Short, H. L., Short, A. E., and Short, H. O. Feb. 2. Planes, construction of; steering and balancing. - Supporting, steering, and balancing planes used on flying-machines are constructed so that the plane is practically flat when passing through the air without any inclination, while when it is placed at an angle to the direction of motion its surface becomes curved. A lateral balancing-plane is shown in Fig. 1 and is constructed of a rigid frame to the leading edge 1 of which a sheet of fabric 4 is firmly fixed. The rear edge of the fabric is connected directly, or through the intermediary of a bar 5, by means of springs 6 to the rear member 2 of the frame.

The fabric, in an alternative arrangement, may be connected to a spring roller at the leading or rear end of the frame, the other edge of the fabric being fixed to the frame, and part or all of the fabric may be elastic. Another modification is shown in Fig. 7, in which the plane 4 passes over a roller 10, the free edge being connected to the fabric through the springs 11. The fabric may be provided with tapered flexible ribs 7, Fig. 1, of the kind described in Specification 23,166/09.

Abstract: 2801. Merrill, C. W. Feb. 3. Cyaniding; wet processes of extracting metals; precipitating.- In precipitating metals from solutions in motion, the precipitant is subjected to mechanical treatment for the removal of any deterrent coating from the surface of the particles, and the mixture is conducted without rest to a filter. In cyaniding, zinc dust in a dry or emulsified state is fed to a receiver Z and passes, together with the solution, to a tank U, and the mixture passes through a grinding-apparatus A placed on either the suction or delivery side of a pump P. The mixture is then forced to the top of a filter F whence the filtrate flows into a tank E.

Abstract: 23,686. Sipp, G. Feb. 13. Winding - machines; driving- arrangements; stop - motions.- In cop, quill, and like winding- machines of the class in which the thread-guide is automatically caused to progress in the direction of the length of the winding-axis by occasional impulses received from the growing cop &c., the impact member with which the cop contacts is freely revoluble and is movable longitudinally or transversely or both of the winding axis to a limited extent. The device is described as applied to a winding-machine in which the spindles d, Fig. 1, are driven from the belt e through spindles f mounted in carriers g. The carrier is adapted to tilt inwards to stop the drive, and is held up by a lever h, locked by a hook j engaging an adjustable block k on the frame. The tbread-guide s, Fig. 3, is carried by a sleeve o sliding on a rod l parallel with the spindle d. An arm p extends from the sleeve o and embraces a second parallel rod n. This arm carries the impact device which consists of an annular member v made of light material and having a bore preferably tapering to the same angle as the point of the cop &c. The member n is arranged to have lateral and longitudinal play in the ring q which supports it. To prevent the sleeve from falling from the position to which it is raised by the impact of the growing cop on the member v, the sleeve o carries a spring pawl r engaging teeth on the rod l. The hook j projects into the plane of the arm p so that when the cop attains a predetermined size the hook is released and the spindle stopped. The thread-guide is carried on a pivoted arm set between a spring pin t and an adjusting screw u. An adjustable stop x is provided on the rod l to limit the downward or resetting movement of the sleeve o.
