Patent GB-191302480-A (GB)
Title: Improved Brake and Reversing Gear.
Filed: 1913-01-30
Granted: 1914-01-30
Abstract: 2480. Horsley, E. C., and Daimler Co. Jan. 30. I n t e r l o c k i n g and guarding against wrong movements.-The reversing and change-speed levers of motor rail vehicles are interlocked pneumatically with the compressed-air brakes so that the reversing-lever cannot be operated until (1) the change-speed lever has been moved to its ' off ' position and (2) the brakes have been applied and released a g a i n. By operating the brake handle a, a ported disk is operated to admit compressed air from the pipe c to the pipe d leading to the brake cylinders. When the brakes are released, a regulable quantity of the exhaust air is conducted through a valve into the pipe g and escapes mainly at the openings t unless the change-speed lever q is in the ' off ' position. In the latter position, a cam r on a prolongation of the shaft of the lever q operates a valve to close the openings t and thus allows the full pressure of the air to operate on a diaphragm in the chamber h. A guided spindle on the diaphragm pushes the pivoted member l clear of stops and thus unlocks the reversing-lever m. As soon as the changespeed lever q is operated the openings t are reopened and the reversing lever is automatically re-locked. The invention is stated to be particularly applicable to vehicles having transmission gear and clutch mechanism as described in Specification 2479/13, [Class 80 (ii), Gearing, Variable-speed &c.]. With this construction the change-speed lever q operates magnetic clutches and the ' off ' position corresponds to the position of the gears in which no clutches are in engagement.

Abstract: 15,301. Clark, G. O. de. July 2. Clock movements.-In a clock more particularly intended for use as a street-clock, having two oppositely-disposed dials, the movement, which is preferably small and compact, is removably mounted in a receptacle 21 projecting through an opening in the bottom of the main drum-casing 10. The dialwork, arranged in framework 14 fixed to the dialsupporting plates 13, is driven by bevel-gearing from a vertical arbor 30, which is suspended at 31 from a central part of the framework 14.
