Patent GB-425159-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to adhesive tapes or sheets and processes of making the same
IPC: C09J7/21
Filed: 1933-05-27
Abstract: An adhesive tape or sheet comprises a backing such as paper which is saturated with a composition containing resin and a plasticizing agent therefor.  The composition may be added directly to the paper mill heaters.  The resin may be a natural resin such as rosin or a synthetic resin such as glycerol - phthalic anhydride or phenolic condensation resins.  The plasticizing agent may be rubber such as latex cr<\>zepe, smoked sheet, reclaim, dispersions thereof such as latex or vulcanized rubber dispersions, or oils such as linseed oil or tung oil.  The resin and plasticizer may be dissolved in a hydrocarbon solvent such as oleum spirits or xylol or dispersed in water.  Fillers such as zinc oxide or whiting may be added.  The rubber content of the saturated backing may be vulcanized.  In preparing aqueous dispersions a small quantity of sodium hydroxide is added which forms a soap with the resin and acts as a dispersing agent. Synthetic resinous compositions may be prepared by condensing the constituent in the presence of oils with condensing agents such as acids.  Linseed oil thickened by boiling and containing cobalt acetate may be used.  The backing may be pre-treated with a more dilute solution or dispersion and may receive also a coating of a more saturated solution or dispersion.  The backing may be coated on the non-adhesive side with an alcoholic shellac solution or a lacquer containing cellulose derivatives as cellulose acetate or nitro-cellulose.  The composition is preferably applied to the paper by a flotation process similar to that described in Specification 425,151, [Group VIII], a second application given by immersion and the sheet festooned before drying in an oven.  The pressure sensitive, normally tacky adhesive of the rubber-resin-zinc oxide type is then applied.  Specification 312,610, [Class 140], is referred to.
Patent GB-703660-A (GB)
Title: Voltage indicator tube, particularly tuning indicator tube
IPC: H03J3/14
Filed: 1951-06-29
Abstract: 703,660. Cathode-ray tubes. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. June 29, 1951 [July 8, 1950], No. 15488/51. Class 39(1) In a voltage indicator, preferably a tuning indicator, the indicating and amplifying electrode systems are arranged radially about a common cathode; the indicating system comprises grid 2, deflector 5, Fig. 2, luminescent anode 6, and the amplifying system comprises grid 3 and anode 4. In one form, Fig. 2, there may be one or more rods or strips 5 extending parallel or obliquely to the cathode, and connected to the amplifier anode 4 by a connection inside or outside the tube wall. An opaque cap (not shown) at indicator anode potential covers the upper end of the cathode and grids. Positively biased metal plates 8 or rods give the luminous area sharply defined edges and eliminate or reduce field effects of the grid support rods which would tend to restrict the luminous area. The grid support rods are negative with respect to the cathode and are arranged as shown to give maximum screening between the indicator and amplifier sections. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown) the cathode is of oval cross section and the grid supports lie in different planes. The amplifier anode may be integral with the indicator deflection electrode; the structure may comprise an arcuate member, Fig. 4 (not shown) the two edges of which form indicator deflecting electrodes, or an arcuate and a strip-like member 1, 3 connected by arcuate strips at each end, Fig. 5. In the latter form the indicator deflecting electrode is preferably a flattened strip 3 rather than arcuate. In another such form, Fig. 6, the indicator deflection electrodes are formed by arcuate members 3, in which case the luminous area varies in length instead of radially. Combinations of these structures may be used e.g. of Figs. 5 and 6 to give a luminous image which varies both in length and radially. In another embodiment, Fig. 7 (not shown) there are two radial amplifier sections as well as.an indicator section. The amplifier sections have anodes spaced different distances from the cathode to give different amplification factors and one edge of each anode forms an indicator deflection electrode. In this case the edges of the luminous area move at different rates. A further electrode system or systems may be arranged along a different axial portion of the cathode. Specification 700,192 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,255,235. Producing a test tape. RCA CORPORATION. 26 March, 1969 [11 April, 1968], No.15763/69. Heading G4C. The invention relates to a method of producing a test pattern of signals in a multi-track magnetic tape.  A multi-track magnetic test tape has, in the length of tape normally storing a single bit, n such bits in each track (n being greater than or equal to 5) with n-1 bits representing one binary value, the remaining bit representing the other value, the position of the latter bit being movable relative to the said bit in an adjacent track to simulate skew distortion. As shown (Fig. 4) 32 pulses, 31 " 0 " and 1 " 1 " are recorded in the space normally containing one digit, the recording being done by slowing the tape or increasing the recording frequency or both. The " 1 " pulse is movable forwards or backwards to simulate skew in either direction and the angle of skew can be altered. Differing amounts of skew distortion can be recorded and replayed to determine how much skew a tape station can successfully cope with.

Abstract: 529,409. Honing and lapping machines. CRAVEN BROS. (MANCHESTER), Ltd., and RIVERS, J. H. May 30, 1939, No. 15850. [Class 60] In a honing cr lapping machine for finishing the internal surfaces of cylinders by rotary and reciprocatory motion, the reciprocation of the honing head a is effected by two single acting hydraulic motors h<SP>1</SP>, n<SP>1</SP> controlled by a valve s, the plungers h, n carrying sheaves p, g around which ropes pass from the head to fixed anchorages. With the valve s in the position shown pressure fluid is admitted to cylinder n<SP>1</SP> and the head is moved to the left until a stop t thereon engages a stop u on a bar w which is moved to compress a spring y in a recess in a slide 2 by its abutment x. Another abutment 10 of the bar then engages a lever 8 on a fixed pivot to depress a spring-pressed detent 6 normally holding the slide 2 which is thus released and moved by the spring g to reverse the valve s. At the other end of the movement a similar action occurs. Preferably each plunger h and n has two sheaves g, p for the corresponding rope which passes first over one sheave, say, g, then over fixed sheave and finally over the second sheave g before its end is anchored so that the head a moves through twice the distance that the plungers do.
