Patent GB-191116695-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Production of Printing Blocks giving Relief Effects.
Inventor: BENDIXEN NIELS
IPC: G03F1/88
Filed: 1911-07-20
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 16,695. Bendixen, N. Oct. 15, 1910, [Convention date]. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces; reliefeffects, producing.-Relates to a modification of the method described in Specification 17,215/08 for producing negatives for making printing- blocks to give effects in which no pattern appears in the textual matter of the print, or alternatively in which a different pattern appears there to that in the background. A diapositive of the original is printed in combination with the pattern-plate. From the negative so obtained, which has no pattern in the textual matter, a diapositive is made, and this diapositive is reproduced in combination with an original negative, .the two plates being shifted slightly relatively to each other. The final plate obtained is subsequently reproduced through a screen to obtain a photo-mechanical printing-negative. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a method of obtaining different patterns in the textual matter and background. The negative is first combined with one pattern, and the plate thus obtained is combined with the diapositive plate relatively shifted, and with a different pattern-plate sandwiched between. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Instruments for Indicating and Recording Meteorological Observations.
Inventor: CULLEY ALFRED EDWIN
Filed: 1911-09-11
Granted: 1912-10-11
Abstract: 20,175. Culley, A. E. Sept. 11. Hygrometric apparatus. - Apparatus for indicating and recording the pressure of aqueous vapour, the weight of aqueous vapour per unit volume of air, the weight of aqueous vapour required to saturate unit volume of air, the relative humidity of air, and the like, which may be adapted to actuate devices for controlling the humidity of the atmosphere, comprises indicating-hands a, b pivoted at c, d and operated respectively by dry or wet thermometers. The ends of the indicating-arms are so connected by a parallel link motion e, f, the link e being in the form of a triangle, that a point can be found therein which moves in a straight line when the indicating-arms are operated by media at equal temperatures, and which rotates about an axis upon the straight line of its movement when one of the indicating-arms is operated by an indicating-medium of different temperature. If a pin g be secured to such a point and engage a slotted link pivoted in the line of movement of the point g, the deflexion of the slotted link will vary according to the position of the point y in the link, which position is a function of the dry temperature. In view of the fact that when values of cot° obtained as described in Specification 11,125/11, are plotted against the dry temperatures the curve is a straight line, if the distance between the point g and the axis k of the link be made proportional to cot°, the resultant movement of the slotted lever will be a measure of the relative humidity. The link i is provided with a rack engaging a pinion l, which is mounted on the axis c and carries a pointer m moving over a scale n. The apparatus may be modified to apply to other cases such as saturated gases. In order to maintain definite degrees of humidity, a rack n, Fig. 4, secured to the lever i, engages a pinion o, which is loose on the pin g and carries a cam p having a radius proportional at any point to the desired degree of humidity at the corresponding dry temperature. The cam p engages a racked lever s, which, through a pinion t, operates a valve u controlling the supply of moist air.
