Patent GB-190421995-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Intercommunication Telephone Systems.
Inventor: BIRNBAUM ISIDORE BERNARD
Filed: 1904-10-12
Granted: 1905-03-02
Abstract: 21,995. Birnbaum, I. B., and White, H. G. Oct. 12. Telephone systems.- In an intercommunication system, the home line is not connected to a contact upon which the selecting-lever can rest, but the home call-bell is connected to line after a conversation by the movement of the ordinary switch hook. The selecting - lever a is connected to a rocking contact-block k having springs l, o to engage the head of a pin e when pressed in by the push c. The block k is rocked by the movement of the switch hook s. The pin e carries a projection g normally engaging with spring n connected to the home line, and slides in a bracket d which is in series with the receiver r If station II wishes to call station I, the lever a is placed on the contact 1 and the push c pressed, thus completing a calling- circuit from the battery 14 through the line-wire 12, push c, pin e, block k, wire 20, lever a, and the line h' to the station I, and thence through the wire 15, bell b, contact x, hook s, wire 17, and the line-wire 11 to the battery. The receivers are then removed from their hooks, closing the local microphone circuits in the ordinary way, and also closing the secondary circuits as follows :-From the receiver r at station II through the wire 21, secondary q, bracket d, pin e, block k, wire 20, and the lever a to station I, and through the wire 16, contact n, projection g, bracket d, wire 21, receiver o, contact y, hook s, wire 17, and the linewire 11 to station II and back to the receiver by the wire 17 and book s. On hanging up the receivers, the block k rocks and releases the pin e. The rocking block mechanism is substantially the same as that described in Specification No. 15,049, A.D. 1902.

Patent GB-190426986-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrically Controlled Variable Speed Gear.
Inventor: JAMES HENRY VINCENT
Filed: 1904-12-10
Granted: 1906-03-10
Abstract: 26,986. James, H. V., and Marples, R. A. Dec. 10. Driving-gear.-A three-element gear of the epicyclic type or of the Newman type, described in Specification No..6326, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Mechanism &c.], . has one of the elements controlled by electric means, whereby a printing-press &c. can be gradually started or stopped and the speed controlled. In the arrangement shown, the planet elements as are carried by the shaft of the motor A, and the sun element is secured to the driven shaft a. The ring element a<4> is'controlled by a brake a<5>, and by adjustment of this brake the shaft a can be started and stopped and the speed regulated. The brake lever a<6> is operated by chain a<7>, which is wound on or unwound from a shaft a<8> by means of an epicyclic gear b driven by a motor B. This motor drives a controller D having sets of contacts d, d', d<2> adapted to engage with brushes d<3> d<4>, d<5>. A pin or catch d<6> on the controller is adapted to engage on the spring-controlled arm E of a control switch. A reversing-switch G, comprising a pivoted lever the end of which carries contacts g<3>, g<4> and g<5>, g<6>, is adapted to be actuated by solenoids g<1>, g<2>. Switches X, Y, Z are arranged in the circuits, and a switch J is arranged in the main circuit of the motor A. When the main circuit is closed, the motor A runs light. When one of the switches X is closed, the solenoid g<2> is energized and the contacts g<5>, g<6> are made, thereby closing the circuit of the motor B. The motor B drives the controller D, the pin d<6> on which engages the arm E and moves it so as to close the circuit of a solenoid, which serves to apply a brake to the gear b, thereby transmitting motion to the shaft a<8>and winding up the chain a<7> so as to brake the ring a<4> ; the shaft a is then driven at a speed depending upon the brake pressure or the amount of slip of the ring a<4> . An electromagnet f attracts an-armature on the arm E to complete the motion of the arm and to retain it in the required position against the pull of the controlling spring. The motor B continues to run until the switch X is opened, or until the contact-strip d on the controller moves out of contact with the brush d<3>, this latter condition coriesponding to the fully-applied position of the brake a<5>. When one of the switches Y is closed, the solenoid g' is energized and the contacts g<3>, g<4> are made, thereby closing the circuit of the motor B and rotating the motor shaft in the required direction for unwinding the chain and releasing the brake a<5>. When one of the switches Z is opened, and the arm E is retracted by the controlling- spring, the circuit of the brake solenoid C is broken, releasing the gear b ; the brake arm a<6> is then moved by a counterweight to take off the brake a<5>.

Abstract: 281. Hattan, A. Jan. 4, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Buoys.-A buoy for locating sunken vessels is mounted in a housing and connected to two winding-drums, so that, should all the rope be wound off one before the buoy reaches the surface, the rope on the other pulley may be used, this arrangement preventing the buoy from floating away from the wreck a distance equal to the length of the whole of the available cable. Fig. 2 shows the apparatus, the buoy 9 resting in the hinged cover 6 of the housing 5. The cable 10, directly connected to the buoy, passes through the ring 16, and is wound on, but not fastened to, the drum 11. The rope 15 wound on, and secured to the second drum 12<1>, is attached to the ring 16.
