Patent GB-190911242-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Master Switches for Radio-telegraph and Radio-telephone Stations.
Inventor: SHARMAN ALEXANDER WILLIAM
IPC: H01P1/12
Filed: 1909-05-12
Granted: 1910-05-12
Abstract: 11,242. Sharman, A. W. May 12. Switches.-For changing electric connexion between high-tension and low-tension systems or apparatus, and especially in wireless telegraphy for the purpose of connecting alternately the transmitting and receiving circuits to the same aerial, an electric switch is employed in the form of a rod or pole, capable of being moved longitudinally and carrying various contacts. The metal rod A, Fig. 2, sliding through the case C, is in permanent connexion with the receiving- circuit wire RC, Fig. 1. A spring L connected to the aerial normally lies in contact with a rod B connected to the transmitting-circuit. The rod A is moved to make contact with the spring L and break contact between the spring L and the rod B simultaneously. The rod A carries at its middle a plate of insulating-material A<1> provided with pairs of plug contacts to make the proper local circuits. The plug contacts R<1>E<1> on one side of the plate are adapted to enter sockets RE, the other contacts of the same side being similarly arranged ; the plug contacts S<1>T<1> on the other side of the plate are adapted to enter sockets ST, and similarly with the remaining contacts. The sockets are mounted on two plates A<2>, A<3> attached to the walls of the casing. Rods A<4> fitting through holes in the plate A<1> act as additional guides for the movement. The moving, rod may carry two plates of insulating-material with contacts. Any desired number of combination of contacts may be taken, and the movement of the switch may be used to start or stop a clock or other mechanism. As shown in Fig. 1, where the rod A is in position for receiving messages, local circuits through RE and PO, which are then respectively bridged across the gaps, include a variable inductance VL, detector D, variable condenser VC, telephone TE, potentiometer P, and local battery, and the inductance is connected through the rod A to the spring L and thus to the aerial. When the switch is thrown over, the aerial becomes connected to the transmitting- circuit wire T, which is earthed through the secondary of the oscillation transformer or equivalent device, the circuits of the inductance and the potentiometer are opened at RE and PO, the telephone and detector are short-circuited by the bridging of the gaps SD and ST, and connexion is made at PC from the wires PR, which are in circuit with the alternator, the primary of the supply transformer, and the Morss key M.

A quadrant sight is shown in side elevation in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a transverse section. The sight-bar A is pivoted on a vertical pivot A<Î> to a bracket C<3> carried by the elevating-quadrant C<1>. The quadrant is pivoted at C<Î>, and is enclosed by a casing C<2>, to which is attached a rack-member c<Î>. The drift cams D', for four different powder charges, are arranged on a vertical spindle d<4> in a casing d<Î> carried by the bracket C'. The spindle is geared by a worm-gear d<3>, spindle d<1>, and pinion d with the rack c<Î>, so that, as the sight is elevated, the cams are rotated by the pinion d running upon the rack c<Î>. A roller A<1>, vertically adjustable by a screw a<1> and carried by the bar A, is pressed by a spring against the cam appropriate to the powder charge employed. An eccentric device E is employed to move the bar A and roller A<1> away from the cams when the roller is to be moved on to another cam. The cams may be distinct from one another, as shown, or formed as a continuous cam-surface. A cross-levelling device for the sight is described but not claimed.

Abstract: 20,891. Joel, H. F. Sept. 8. Gas exits.-A vent plug for an accumulator or other container, large enough to trap all the liquid which escapes into the plug on inversion or tilting of the container, is shown in section in Fig. 1, a modification being shown in Fig. 3, in which the outlet can be closed completely. Referring to Fig. 1, the plug communicates with the air by a vent-pipe V and with the container by a short tube A and an adjacent small hole, the tube A preferably having a slanting end inside the container, as shown, to facilitate the draining back of liquid. Fig. 3 shows a plug with a liquid seal, through which gas escapes by way of a tube A and holes X in the vent-pipe V, which is closed near the bottom, and can be screwed inwards to close the plug entirely. A modification of the plug shown in Fig. 3 has a small hole beside the tube A, as in the first construction; thus plug can be closed, but has no liquid seal. The Provisional Specification also describes a plug with a vent-pipe dipping into liquid in a short tube on the bottom, an aperture into the container being outside this short tube.
