Abstract: 22,803. Lewis, F. M. Oct. 1. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). A r c-lamp electrodes.- An electrode consisting of two parts, say a carbon core and flaming material, has one of these divided or nearly divided transversely to the length of the electrode, to prevent unequal consumption of the two parts after long usage. The material of the divided part is preferably used in an amount in excess of that used in an ordinary electrode. Flaming material surrounding a core 1, Fig. I, may be cut partly or wholly through by annular grooves 3 or by a single helical groove ; the core may project slightly at the arcing end, and may be bared at the other end for insertion into a holder. The discontinuous flaming material may alternatively occupy flutings in the core. In another form, a carbon tube is filled with short cylinders of the flaming material, separated by vaporizable or carbonizable material, such as blotting-paper or cardboard, or by very porous carbon. Specifications 18,469/09 and 15,977/10 are referred to.

Bakers' ovens.-In an oven heated from a furnace situated at the side by flues extending transversely above and below the baking-chambers, the flues are so arranged that the heating of the right and left halves of the oven may be independently regulated. As shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 5, gases from side fire-places a, a<1> pass through flues b, b<1> to chambers c, c'; from these chambers they may pass, according to the setting of the dampers, either through flues g above the oven to the outlet flue f<1> or through flues d within the oven to a chamber e. From the chamber e, which may be connected directly with the fireplaces by ducts o, o<1>, the gases flow either through a flue f direct to the outlet flue, or through flues j, k, l, m, n formed around an -upper oven a<4>. As a modification, the upper oven a<4> may be arranged directly above the flues d. The flues b, b<1> are tapered as shown, the flues f, g as seen in an horizontal section are narrowed towards the outlet flue f<1>, and the flues d are mounted in sleeves to allow for expansion, and are inclined towards the oven floor. Compartments a<3> are formed in the main oven by walls q, and T-bars are provided to support sliding screens I, II. Water heated in a coil passes to vessels u, v, and may be supplied to steam-generators in recesses p. The door of the upper oven is preferably sliding, and the doors of the other compartments open inwards at the bottom when steam is used, and otherwise open outwards so as to form a continuation of the oven floor.
