Abstract: 8927. Gardner, H. April 16. Chucks.-Eccentric circular cam-slots &c. for self-centring chucks are set out as follows. In the case of three-jaw chucks, lines 0 Y1, 0 X1 are drawn at 120 degrees and points U, T are taken in these lines, the difference of their distances from the centre O being equal to the travel required. An equilateral triangle T P U is then drawn on the same side of T U as the centre 0, and an arc is drawn through T U, this arc being a portion of the circle circumscribing the triangle, thus giving the centreline of the cam-slot &c. For four-jaw chucks, corresponding points T1 U1 are taken on lines at right-angles and a square on T U is drawn, the circumscribing circle giving the requisite arc.

Patent GB-191507318-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Vacuum Brake Apparatus for Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: LUARD EDWARD SYDNEY
IPC: B60T13/46
Filed: 1915-05-15
Abstract: 7318. Luard, E. S. May 15. Fluid-pressure.-In an accelerating valve device, the passage which is opened for the admission of air to the train-pipe is of constant area, irrespective of the extent of the opening movement of the valve and therefore of the rate at which air is admitted by the driver's valve. Admission of air to the control reservoir 3 for closing the valve is effected directly from the atmosphere by a second v a l v operated by the accelerating-valve. The passage connecting the reservoir with the trainpipe, and by which it is exhausted in releasing the brakes, is therefore provided with a non-return valve. According to the form shown in Fig. 1, the device comprises a valve 27 for admitting air from the atmosphere by a pipe 19 and casing 2 to the space 5, open to the train-pipe 15 and the brakecylinder branch pipe 52. The valve 27 has a cylindrical extension 29 fitting loosely in the seating 25 so as to provide, when the valve is unseated, an annular air passage of constant area, irrespective of the extent of the movement of the valve. The valve 27 is attached to the diaphragm 34 exposed to the pressure in the reservoir 3, and engages in its opening movement the stem 48 of the valve 44, so as to admit air to the reservoir 3. The valve 44 has a cylindrical part 45<a> serving, in service applications, a purpose corresponding to that of the part 29 of the valve 27. A stop limits the upward movement of the valve 44. The reservoir 3 is exhausted by way of the passage 39 and lateral port 40 covered by a rubber sleeve 41 serving as a non- return valve. In a modification, the non-return valve is constituted by a ball valve disposed in a small casing secured to a short upward extension of the passage 39, the lower extension or stem 43 being dispensed with. The device operates effectively only in service applications and, partly on account of the absence of a returning spring, is sensitive even to very gradual applications. If the train-pipe pressure is suddenly reduced, the valve 27 opens only momentarily, owing to the rapid filling of the reservoir 3 through the valve 44. The usual cut-out valve 18 operated by a cam and handlever 22 is shown.
