Abstract: 26,722. Le Dantec, L. M. March 22, [Convention date]. Screw propellers.-A unit known as the modulus and equal to one thirty-second of the pitch is used in determining the dimensions of the blades of a propeller. If the pitch increases from the leading to the following edge, the mean pitch is used. As shown in Fig. 10, two blades of length equal to the pitch or 32 times the modulus are attached by arms to the shaft so that the inner radius AC is 5 times the modulus and the outer radius AD 15. Distances each equal to a modulus are set off along the shaft AB from 1 to 32 and along the arm A C D from 1 to 15. In addition to Figures showing true helices, others are shown representing the path of a fluid before and after being acted on by rotating planes of varying inclination.

Patent GB-191308603-A (GB)
Title: Combined Moving-mark Target and Automatic Indicator therefor.
Inventor: KEEN ELIOT
IPC: F41J9/14
Filed: 1913-04-11
Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 8603. Keen, E. April 16, 1912, [Convention date]. Targets.-Relates to kinematograph targets, and comprises means for indicating when the marksman hits a moving bird 2, mark, or object, on a moving picture thrown on the target 1, which serves as a screen. Fig. 1 is a general view, Figs. 2 and 9 are diagrams of electric circuits, and Fig. 10 shows a part of the target in section.' The target is constructed of a white-washed or painted sheet-metal face 30, Fig. 10, and a wood backing 28 provided with inclined holes and electric contact-making splitmetal casings 31, containing balls 35, which bridge the slits between the casings. When a bullet strikes the target face, several balls 35 in the vicinity are driven up the casings 31. In order that the indicator 6 shall act when the bullet strikes the object 2 only, and not when it hits any other part of the target, one selected electric circuit corresponding to the position of the moving object on the film 7 and target is completed by contact levers 11, 13 passing through holes 36, 37 in the film. These holes correspond to the height and distance from the side of the film of the moving object, and the levers are connected to the split casings at corresponding parts of the target. When the bird or object is struck by a bullet, the ball at the back is driven up the split casing and a circuit is completed through an electromagnet 14, which completes an independent circuit through a bell or other indicator 6. A special commutator 16 and electro-magnets 19, 20 are used to bring the two levers into contact before any current is allowed to pass in order to avoid sparking and ignition of the film. One part of the commutator switches out the lever circuit before the levers are separated by another part of the commutator. Each. set of levers is carried by a notched armature which presses the levers against the film with a slight spring action. The film passes over a guide plate which is adjustable by a screw to compensate for extension or contraction of the film. Instead of perforating the film, any other irregularity of the film may be used, or a separate tape or film. running synchronously with the projecting film may be perforated, to correspond with the position of the moving object. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also illuminating- bullets which ignite on impact with the target. The bullets may carry small amounts of coloured explosive illuminants in the tips, each man using a different colour from the others. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted
