Abstract: 430,029. Master control of D.C. motors. MALEY, A. W., 4, Grosvenor Road, Handsworth, and TAUNTON, E. M., 90, FitzRoy Avenue, Harborne, both in Birmingham. Sept. 7, 1933, Nos. 24870/33 and 23809/34. [Class 38 (iii)] Field control.-The starting and speed control of series-wound vehicle motors is effected by dividing the field windings into four or more sections of the normal number of turns but of cross-section reduced in proportion to their number, connecting the field sections in series for starting, then in series-parallel arrangements, and then in parallel. Two motors may be employed having armatures 1, 2, and field sections 11-14, 21-24, the armatures being first connected in series and the field winding sections connected series, series-parallel and parallel, the armatures then being connected in parallel, and the connection of the field sections again varied to give additional speed control. The transition from series to parallel connection of the motors includes a step-in which the field sections of one motor are connected in series, and the other motor is short-circuited. The changes in the field connections during parallel operation may be the same as those for series, or the first stage of the parallel connection may correspond to series-parallel connection of the field sections followed by the connection of the field sections in three parallel branches, one containing two sections and the other two, one section each. Fieid shunting and tapping may be used for additional control steps. The changes in the connections of the field sections are effected by double-pole, twoway contactors 52, 62-54, 64, each having two coils 32, 42 ; 33, 43 ; 34, 44, connected in circuit with the field windings. For braking the field sections may be connected in parallel or in series shunted by a diverted resistance. A change-over switch 104, Fig. 10, may be provided to connect the cables 102 forming part of the normal equipment either to the contactor coils for power operation, or to a resistance 92, also forming part of the normal equipment, for braking. When the field sections are connected in parallel for braking the parallel connections may be completed by the switch 104.

Title: Improvements in or relating to cooling towers and their operation
IPC: F28C1/00
Filed: 1946-08-21
Abstract: 616,032. Cooling towers. NORTHMET POWER CO., and WOOTTON, W. R. Aug. 21, 1946, No. 24926. [Class 64(i)] A cooling tower is provided with means for altering the draught therethrough when the ambient temperature varies, the object being to prevent excessive precipitation during cold weather. A naturaldraught tower may be provided with obturating means such as roller blinds 3 arranged around the air intake belt 2 of the tower. Ganged louvres or sliding shutters may also be used or a curtain of falling water may be employed. Alternatively, the obturating means may comprise dampers mounted at the outlet of the tower. The obturating means may be manually - controlled or automaticallyoperated. In a forced-draught tower (Fig. 5) the speed of the fans 25 is controlled by a relay system triggered by a rain gauge 29 which measures the precipitation at the top of the tower. The gauge includes a pivoted spoon 32 having contacts 35, 36 at one end. When the spoon fills, it tips and closes the contacts, thus operating the relay system energising the fan motors. The contents of the spoon are discharged by tipping and the contacts break. The fans therefore operate by a series of surges, the frequency of which depends on the rate of precipitation of moisture from the air leaving the tower.
Patent GB-670130-A (GB)
Title: Process for producing acid chlorides of thio and dithio-diglycolic acids and the acid chlorides so produced
Filed: 1949-09-28
Abstract: Thio and dithiodiglycoyl dichlorides are prepared by treating a ketene containing aliphatic carbon to carbon multiple bonds only in the C=C=O group with either sulphur monochloride or dichloride at a temperature at which both reactants are stable.  An inert solvent is preferably used, e.g. carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulphide, alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers, and esters, with cooling, since the reaction is exothermic.  Ketenes specified include dialkylketenes, e.g. dodecylethylketene, diarylketenes, e.g. dibenzyl-, dimesityl-, phenyl-p - tolyl -, and di - p - tolyl - ketenes, arylalkylketenes, e.g. ethylphenylketene, and aldoketenes, e.g. mesitylkenene.  The reaction may be carried out in the vapour phase, or under increased or reduced pressure.  In the examples sulphur dichloride is reacted with (1) ketene to give thiodiglycoyl dichloride; (3) diphenylketene to give tetraphenylthiodiglycoyl dichloride, and sulphur monochloride is treated with (2) dimethylketene to afford tetramethyldithiodiglycoyl dichloride; and (4) benzylmethylketene to give sym.-dibenzyldimethyldithiodiglycoyl dichloride.
