Title: Improvements in Acetylene Gas Generators.
Inventor: ALLEN SAMUEL WESLY
Filed: 1900-01-23
Granted: 1900-03-17
Abstract: 1495. Allen, S. W., and Davies, L. J. Jan. 23. Acetylene.-Relates to means for automatically delivering measured quantities of carbide into the water contained in the generating-tank. Beneath the lower end of the carbide holder d is arranged a pivoted bucket or receptacle g, counterbalanced by an elongated weight k and provided with a curved plate s for closing the exit of the carbide holder. When the bell b carrying the carbide holder descends nearly to the bottom, the elongated weight k strikes the top edge of the generating-tank, or a stop piece thereon, and tips the bucket g, thus causing it to discharge its contents into the water. At the same time, the curved shutter s prevents any further discharge of carbide. On the ascent of the bell, the weight k automatically returns the bucket g to the position shown.

The telescope frame may, however, be carried by the parallel bars described in Specification No. 6129, A.D. 1899. An arm M on the standard G carries a curved scale L in the focus of the eye-piece of the low power telescope K<1>, so that the elevation may be read while looking through the telescope. Two transparent scales may be provided, one for elevation and the other for range. In the same telescope the spirit level N is mounted for transverse adjustments. In the high-power telescope K, a frame c, mounted in guides, is arranged to be moved laterally by the cam m as the telescope is elevated, thus providing automatically for "lateral deviation" of the projectile. The frame c supports a second frame d, which is provided with the usual cross wires and is movable relative to the frame c by the screw shaft e having a pointer f for setting it to make corrections for wind or a moving target. The double eye-shield or mask is made of india-rubber or other soft substance.

Granted: 1902-07-03
Abstract: 17,273. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Aug. 28. Dyes, artificial.-Condensation products, which are insoluble in acids or alkalies, are produced by acting upon nitrosophenol, nitroso-o-cresol, or the like, with 1 : 2 : 4-chlordinitrobenzene in alcoholic solution, preferably in presence of sodium acetate, sodium carbonate, or other compound which will fix hydrochloric acid. The mixture may be warmed, and the product separates in a crystalline form. When acted upon by a mild reducing- agent, such as sodium sulphide, a mixture of pamidophenol, or an analogue thereof, and dinitrophenol, or its reduction products, is produced. The foregoing condensation products, or the mixture of the reduction products thereof, are or is converted into dyes containing sulphur by heating them with a polysulphide solution at about 115‹ C. until ammonia and sulphuretted hydrogen cease to be evolved, and then further heating the dry melt to 150‹-200‹ C. The product dyes cotton from a sodium - sulphide bath green shades, which on exposure to air become green black, and, when treated with copper sulphate, potassium bichromate, or the like, become black.
