Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of metallic coatings on the surfaces of metals
Inventor: CLAYTON ERITH TAINTON
IPC: C23C24/04
Filed: 1951-03-22
Abstract: Metal articles are provided with a continuous adherent coating of metal by impacting finely-divided clean malleable non-laminar particles onto the surface while protecting the surfaces of the particles and the article with an organic non-aqueous non-oxidizing liquid film-forming substance, the particles being flattened by impacting to expose new clean surfaces and bond them to the article in successive interfitting layers.  The non-aqueous film-forming substance may be provided in an aqueous or a non-aqueous liquid vehicle, or in fused form, these methods being denoted by A, B and D respectively.  In method A gum colloids are preferred as film-forming substances (e.g. sodium carboxymethyl-cellulose in a 0.25 per cent water solution, or a mixture of caprylic acid and a long-chain fatty acid amide with polyoxyethylene groups on the nitrogen).  In method B fatty acids such as caprylic acid or oleic acid and solvents such as alcohols or hydrocarbon solvents (e.g. naptha) may be used, and in method D tin fat (a hydrogenated fish oil) may be used as the fused salt. The process is preferably carried out by tumbling in a rotating or oscillating ball mill, the plating particles which may be condensed from the vapour phase or obtained by air disintegration of molten metal being charged together with the film-forming substance and preferably with impacting material such as coarse powder of the plating metal or iron shot into the mill.  The temperature of the process is chosen so that while the particles do not reach their melting point on impacting, they preferably reach their minimum recrystallization temperature.  Aluminium may be plated onto articles at room temperature but for metals with a higher minimum recrystallization temperature external heat is applied.  The coating of iron and steel and other metals with Al, Zn, Cu, Ag, Cd, Pb, Sn, Mg, and Ni is referred to, and numerous examples of coating articles such as nails, washers and like hardware by methods A and B are given.  Specification 740,104 is referred to.

Patent GB-557540-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to railway signal and/or points control systems
IPC: B61L19/06
Filed: 1942-05-22
Abstract: 557,540. Railway route-control systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd., BROWN, A., and MARSHALL, T. A. May 22, 1942, No. 7000. [Class 105] A railway route-control system effects control by the use of three relays ZCR, ZNR, ZCPR functioning as described below. The invention may be used by itself or, as described in combination with a rotary sequence-switch system of the kind described in Specification 496,495. The Specification gives a simple layout comprising a down line (route 3) and an up line (route 6) connected by a cross-over (route 4) and assumes, for illustration, that route 6 cannot be carried on the switch controlling routes 3, 4, the arrangement shown in Fig. 3 being used to avoid the provision of a separate switch to control route 6. When the panel switch for selecting route 6 is operated the circuit of relay ZCR is closed from positive B over a cam 1 BB of the sequence switch for setting conflicting route 4 (its contact 2 being open when route 4 is set), reverse contacts 6 R of the panel key, other relay contacts 6 VRX, relay ZCR to negative. Relay ZCPR is then energized over back contacts of restoring relays ZNPR, ZNR (proving that these relays are de-energized) and front contact ZCR1 of relay ZCR (proving that the interlocking circuit is complete and contact 6R closed. As routes 4, 6 are mutually conflicting front contacts of relay ZCPR (not shown) are included in the circuit of the sequence switch controlling route 4. Contacts of this relay (not shown) also effect the point-setting and signal clearing for route 6. If required a relief relay ZCP2R may be provided for relay ZCPR. Restoration of the route to normal is effected by restoring the panel key thus opening its reverse contacts 6R and closing its normal contacts 6N. Circuit of the restoring relay ZNR is then closed over contacts 6N, front contacts ITR1, 2TRI and back contacts 2HR4, 4HR4 which must be closed before restoration of route 6 to normal is safe, and back contact ZCR (proving that the relay ZCR is de-energized). Contacts of relay ZNR (or of a relief relay ZNPR provided if necessary) effect restoration of route 6 to normal in known manner. A stick circuit for relays ZNR, ZNPR is closed over front contact ZNR3 of relay ZNR. Contact ZNR in circuit of relay ZCPR, and contact ZCR in circuit of relay ZNR prevent simultaneous energization of these relays. Cessation of current when the system is in normal condition effects no change, but when in the reverse condition such cessation releases all reverse contacts but does not energize relay ZNR. Relay ZCR is sufficiently slow in releasing to hold up while any sequence switch of the system carrying conflicting routes is rotating.

Title: Improvements in photographic cameras
Inventor: BURCKHARDT MAX
IPC: G03B9/07
Filed: 1955-09-15
Abstract: 778,209. Photographic cameras; lens mounts. VEB C. ZEISS JENA. Sept. 15, 1955, No. 7008/54. Classes 97(1) and 98(1) In an interchangeable lens mount for a single lens reflex camera in which the diaphragm may be held fully open for focusing and is closed to a predetermined adjustable stop value on making the exposure, the diaphragm is brought to its fully open position on setting the camera shutter, and the diaphragm operating means is disposed wholly within the camera and can only be operated by operations performed on the camera shutter. On releasing the shutter in the forms shown, spring 45 closes the diaphragm to a position determined by stop 17 which is pre-set by ring 21. In Fig. 2 the shutter release moves toothed wheel 37 in the direction of the arrow B by means of shaft 39 so that it disengages toothed rim 36 of annular member 35 rotatable in camera housing 31. Spring 45 then rotates both member 35 and diaphragm operating ring 8 until should 11 of ring 8 abuts stop 17. As shown in Fig. 4 disc 50 enters a notch in ring 47 which is rotatable with ring 8 through engagement of a forked shoulder 48 thereon with diaphragm operating pin 12. The shutter release drives rod 54 in the direction of the arrow C, thus releasing ring 47 for rotation with ring 8 under the action of spring 45. Shaft 43 is connected to the shutter setting mechanism of the camera and, on setting the shutter, member 35 is rotated to open the diaphragm against the action of spring 45. In Fig. 4, shaft 43 is also rotated against the action of tension spring 60, when disc 50 has locked ring 47, spring 60 rotates stop 46 away from pin 12, clutch 44 being disengaged when rod 56 is moved in the direction of the arrow D by the shutted release. Clutch 44 also allows the rotation of shaft 43 to continue when annular member 35 is stopped by operating pin 12. Ring 21 is normally locked in notches 23 by spring 20 and must be pressed inwards to adjust the position of the stop 17. Focusing is effected by rotating ring 26 and the lens mount is prevented from rotating by the engagement of lug 32 in groove 33. The film wind may be coupled with the shutter setting machanism of the camera.

Abstract: 652,699. Rotary meters. HERMAN, J. FAURE-. March 8, 1948, No. 7177. Convention date, Oct. 21, 1947. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, Sept. 8, 1948.] [Class 110(ii)] [Also in Group XXXI] A metering apparatus comprises a rotary member 43, an impulse emitter 5 for transmitting indications to a distance and casing parts 1, 6 which are detachable from one another to facilitate dismantling of the internal units. The axis of the apparatus is in line with the direction of motion of a vehicle carrying the unit with inlet and outlet ports 11, 9 though the flow may be reversed. The liquid passes through a space 12, the metering system 2, diametrically-opposite ports 13, 13 2  between the emitter unit and the casing, and the outlet 9. The cover 8 is permanently screwed upon the part 6, tightened and locked while hot, and the casing-part 1 terminates in a cover 10 which may be detachable. A magnet 44 drives a shaft 45 and the impulse emitting system 5, the magnet being rotated through induction by the soft-iron J-shaped member 43, driven by the metering rotor. A bowl 40, of non-magnetic material, is screwed at 41 to the casing 6. The emitter unit is removable, its bottom plate 50 normally resting on a face 51 of the casing 6. A dowel prevents rotation of the unit. An electrical terminal 57, which transmits the impulses, is secured to the casing 6 by an arc-shaped member 30 held by screws 56.
