Abstract: 25,191. Gardner, J. Nov. 2. Subaqueous sound signals. - In receiving- apparatus, the microphones F are mounted on the tuned metal ring A, which is carried by the diaphragm C on the side of the ship. The ring is tuned by the weight G or by a tension screw. The inertia microphones may be replaced by a single microphone of carbon balls or of carbon pencil. The diaphragm is attached to the ship by screws D or by springs. To indicate the receipt of signals, the microphones are in circuit with a harmonic relay M, as shown in Fig. 8. The strip N breaks contact at O, and the relay arm Q closes the alarm circuit. There may be one microphone set on each side of the ship, a switch being provided to put them in circuit with the receiver alternately. A telephone head-set with receivers carried on a spring yoke may be employed. To eliminate local disturbances a resistance may be included in the telephone circuit, so adjusted as to prevent them from actuating the receiver; or the receiver diaphragm may be spaced from its magnet for this purpose.

Abstract: 23,138. Spõth, C. Oct. 29, 1909, [Convention date]. Colour photography, screens for.-Relates to the manufacture of colour screens on celluloid films or coatings, and consists in using solutions of colours, the solvents of which are gradually diluted for the next colouring operation instead of decreasing the times of action of the stains. A celluloid film, having a protective layer of rubber, has a series of lines scratched to just expose the celluloid surface. The film is then dyed with a solution of 2 grm. of Victoria blue in 100 c.cm. of absolute alcohol, and the excess of dye is washed away. The protective layer is again cut with parallel lines at right-angles to the original lines, thus dividing the celluloid surface into blue and non-coloured lines, the latter of which are alternately decomposed into protected and unprotected squares. The unprotected squares are next stained green by dipping into a solution of 2 grm. auramin and 1 grm. of ethyl green in 150 c.cm. of alcohol of 80 per cent strength, and the excess of dye is washed away. The remaining parts of the protective layer are then dissolved away, and these squares stained with a red dye of 2 grm. of rubin and 1 grm. auramin in 150 c.cm. of alcohol of 60 per cent strength. The protective layer on the back of the film is then removed, thus leaving a screen consisting of blue lines and green and red squares.

Abstract: 934. Blackburn, A. Jan. 13. Levels.-Relates to instruments for indicating the trim of navigable ships, of the kind in which two connected gauge glasses containing a liquid such as glycerine are arranged in a fore-and-aft line on the ship. To give greater sensitiveness to the apparatus, the gauge glasses A, A<1> connected by a tube B are located a considerable distance apart. At the side of the gauges are arranged-scales a graduated to give readings of the difference between the fore-andaft draughts. In order to overcome the error due to evaporation of the liquid in the tube, the level in the tubes is raised to a given fiduciary mark on one tube, and the reading giving the trim is given on the other tube. This is effected by providing a cylindrical displacer c filled with liquid in communication with the liquid in the gauge tubes. By operating a screw plunger c', the liquid level can be adjusted.

Abstract: 14,032. Barbour, R. H. June 13. Controllers, interlocking-mechanism for; systems for alternating - current motors only.- Single-phase induction-motor starters have an arm 1 which cuts out resistance from the running - coils circuit on the stator. A connecting strip 11, pivoted to the arm and having a lost-motion connexion with a switch blade 6 by means of a slot 12 entered by a pin 13, pulls the blade away from spring contacts 10 with the assistance of a spring 14. The switch 6 controls the circuit of a phase-splitting device on the stator, the connexions being via a stud 9 and an inductance 5 to a contact segment 4, which is wiped by a brush on the arm. The motor is thus started in a gradual manner, the use of resistance in the primary circuit necessitating a smaller rotor resistance 15 when the starter is used for a wound rotor. This resistance 15 is short-circuited in one step by a contact 17 on the arm.
