[Classes 103 (vi) and 108 (ii)] An axle mounting for road and rail vehicles comprises a dead axle mounted on an inner bearing member in which the axle is restrained from rotation about its own axis but is adapted to rock in a vertical plane, and an outer bearing member or shell forming a spherical seating for the inner bearing member, allowing the latter to swivel in a horizontal plane for steering movements of the axle. In applying the invention to a vehicle of the type shown in Fig. 2, each axle E has a central bulge Z, Figs. 3 ... 5, with flat sides, mounted in an inner cylindrical bearing member L having flat surfaces p engaging the flat sides on the bulge Z, so that the axle can rock in the member L in a vertical plane but cannot rotate about its own axis. Alternatively the axle is connected to the member L by pins. The bearing member L is mounted in an outer bearing member or shell B having a cylindrical recess D enabling the member L to rotate in a horizontal plane for steering movement of the axle. The member L is open at the bottom, and the bulge Z has a spherical boss k mounted in a cavity in the shell B. The shell B is provided on one side with lugs a which fit between and are guided by brackets A on the main frame members.

Title: Smelting of titaniferous iron ore and ilmenite
IPC: C22B1/08
Filed: 1958-04-08
Abstract: Titaniferous iron ore or concentrate is smelted to form iron and a slag containing titanium and little iron, fluxing exclusively with silica.  Preferably, 0.5-1.5 parts of silica, including that initially in the ore, are present for each part by weight of titania, the additions of silica which may take the form of a non-titaniferous siliceous iron ore being made wholly or partly when the reduction burden is at 1450 DEG C. or above.  The carbonaceous reducing agent is preferably added when the fluxed charge is molten, in sufficient quantity for selective reduction of the iron ore or in excess so as to reduce titania to the monoxide or carbide.  To recover titania and alumina the slag is crushed to 100 mesh and digested with boiling 40-60% sulphuric acid, or instead of crushing it may be chlorinated directly provided the liquid slag is water granulated on leaving the furnace.  Following acid digestion the filtrate is evaporated to 60% sulphuric acid, cooled to room temperature, and aluminium sulphate which crystallises out is removed by filtration.  The titanous sulphate solution may be diluted with water and boiled to form hydrolysed titanium hydroxide which may be separated and calcined to produce titania.ALSO:Titaniferous iron ore or concentrate is smelted to form iron and a slag containing titanium and little iron, fluxing exclusively with silica.
