Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 24,678. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. Nov. 6. Regulating.-In a turbine plant comprising high- and low - pressure turbines supplied separately with steam from high- and lowpressure steam mains, each turbine being governed independently of the other by a speed - responsive governor, a compensating- device is provided which is responsive to variations in the pressure in the low-pressure main, and is arranged to open the throttle valve in the high-pressure main independently of its speed-responsive governor when the pressure in the low-pressure main falls. In the example shown, speed - responsive governors 19, 20 operate the valves 10 of servo-motors associated with the throttle valves 5, 6 of the low- and high-pressure mains respectively. A diaphragm 22, submitted on the upper side to the pressure obtaining in the low-pressure main and on the lower side to atmospheric pressure, is connected to a lever 33 and, through a rod 32, to the lever 18. When, owing to the fall in the pressure above the diaphragm, the lever 33 is raised, the lever 18 is raised independently of its associated governor, and the throttle valve 6 is opened to admit high-pressure steam to the corresponding turbine. In addition an arm 34 may be used to connect the lever 33 with the low-pressure governor lever 18, so that when the pressure in the low-pressure main falls below a predetermined value, the lever 18 may be operated to close the valve 5.

Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Consists in automatically operating the breech-bolt by a sliding sleeve which both locks and unlocks the bolt by a continued movement in the same direction. The sleeve 1 has studs 2 engaging grooves in the bolt 5, each groove consisting of a central portion parallel to the axis of the gun and an oppositely inclined portion at each end. Fig. 1 shows the sleeve 1 in its rear position, relatively to the bolt 5, with the bolt unlocked. During the closing of the breech, the sleeve is held in this position by a detent, which is released on the arrival of the bolt head in its forward position. The sleeve then moves forward to the position shown in Fig. 2 and locks the bolt. The sleeve is held in this midway position by a detent which is released by suitable means when the bullet has travelled through a predetermined distance. The sleeve then completes its forward movement and unlocks the bolt, which, together with the sleeve, is driven back by the residual pressure. The sleeve may be arranged to operate the firing- mechanism. The studs 2 are mounted on spring arms as shown in Fig. 4, and, during the return of the sleeve, ride up into straight grooves 6, Fig. 1, in the bolt to avoid rotating the bolt.
