Abstract: 15,192. Soc. Franþaise d'Incandescence par le Gaz (Systeme Auer). July 18, 1908, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act.] Modifying chemical characters of metals.- Metal filaments are decarbonized by heating them to redness in an atmosphere containing sulphur, for instance in hydrogen, optionally mixed with an inert gas such as nitrogen, and containing a little sulphur or compounds such as sulphuretted hydrogen or carbon bisulphide which liberate it at a high temperature; an oxidizing-gas such as steam, air, or carbon dioxide may also be present, or oxides of sulphur may be used. To make the filaments conductive they may be first heated in air, or in a carbon crucible, or preferably in hydrogen in the electric furnace described in Specification 12,720/08,[CI(i,ss39,Eleeti,i(! lamps &c.]. During decarbonization they may be heated by passage of current or by external means; subsequently they receive a final heating by current, either in the sulphuretting-gas, or, if this has attacked the filaments, it is first changed by absorbing the sulphuretting components, or by exhausting and then admitting hydrogen, or by passing a stream of hydrogen through the chamber. It is stated that sulphur does not act upon metals such as tungsten or molybdenum at a red heat, and that tungsten sulphide dissociates at a high temperature yielding the metal.

Abstract: 22,402. Radcliffe, C. R. Sept. 27. Clutches and speed - varying mechanism.- Apparatus for the hydraulic transmission of power comprises a primary turbine-wheel, a number of secondary turbine - wheels adapted to rotate independently of each other, and means for locking together all or some of the wheels for producing different conditions of drive. Fig. 1 is a sectional view of one form of the apparatus, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the primary and secondary wheels of a portion of the device. A primary turbine-wheel 5 is keyed to the driving-shaft 4, and delivers liquid to a secondary wheel 6 carried on a spider 7 arranged on a sleeve 8, which is rotatably mounted on the sleeve 9 forming part of the primary wheel 5. A second primary wheel 10 is provided, which is secured to the casing 11. This is rotatably mounted on the sleeve 8, and may be moved longitudinally. Aclutch drum 15 is secured to the sleeve 8, and is provided with a brake band 16 for arresting the motion of the wheel 6. The hub end of the drum 15 carries clutch members 17 engaging corresponding members 18 on the casing 11. The inner face of the drum receives a conical clutch member 20 keyed to the sleeve 9. To produce a forward speed of the casing 11, the clutch 20 is disengaged, and the clutches 17, 18 engaged, by moving the casing 11. The member 5 then delivers liquid to the wheel 6, and so rotates the casing. To attain the high speed, the casing is locked to the wheel 6, and this is locked to the primary wheel 5 by means of the clutch 20. To reverse the direction of rotation, the casing 11 is moved out of engagement with the drum 15, so bringing the wheel 10 in line with the wheels 5, 6. The clutch 20 is disengaged, and the brake band 16 applied. The blades of the wheel 10 are set in the reverse direction to those of the wheel 6. To arrest the motion of the driven member, the brake band 16 is released. A modification is shown in Fig. 3, in which the primary wheel 26 is keyed to the shaft 25, causing the liquid to be delivered through the secondary wheel 27 secured to the casing 28. A second secondary wheel 29 is carried by a spider 30 having a sleeve 31 slidably mounted on the shaft 25. The casing may be locked to the secondary wheel 29 by means of clutch members 32, and may be locked to the primary wheel 26 by means of the conical surfaces 34, 35. A brake band 36 may be applied to the casing in order to arrest the motion of the wheel 27.
