Filed: 1937-01-27
Abstract: 489,499. Escapement mechanism. MICHEL, C. A. Jan. 27, 1937, No. 2402. Convention date, Feb. 3, 1936. [Class 80 (iv)] [Also in Group XX] Two watch movements, one of which is adapted to release the other for operation after a predetermined variable time, are employed to control a panoramic camera. The movements are shown assembled in Fig. 12 and divided in Figs. 1, 2. The timing movement A, Fig. 1, comprises a spring drum 1 driving a balance wheel 6<1> and escapement lever 6 through gears 3, 4, 5, and also driving a gear 7 carrying a cam disc 8 having an incision 8<1>. The disc 8 is engaged by the roller 15<1>, Fig. 2, of an escapement lever 15 of the second watch movement B. While the roller 15<1> engages the outer rim of the disc the movement B is locked by the lever 15, but when the disc 8 has rotated so that the incision 8<1> meets the roller 15<1> the lever 15 is released to allow the watch movement B to operate. The movement B comprises a balance wheel 14 driven from a spring drum 10 through gears 12, 13. The time after which the movement B is released may be varied by adjusting the disc 8 with reference to the roller 15<1> before setting the movement A into motion. The number of exposures depends on the length of the incision 8<1>, and several such incisions may be provided.

Abstract: 937,225. Electric measuring systems. HOWE RICHARDSON SCALE CO. Jan. 27, 1960, No. 2948/60. Class 40 (1). Apparatus for sequentially producing predetermined weights of each of a series of materials comprises a plurality of potentiometers, each preadjusted to produce a voltage indicative of the weight of a selected one of the materials, which is balanced against a voltage obtained from a differential transformer weighing the material, a relay switching to the next material and its preadjusted potentiometer when the voltages are equal. As shown (Fig. 1), in the first position of ganged switch SS, potentiometer 27 forms a bridge with potentiometer 15, powered by the manuallyadjusted output from differential transformer 10. A first material is fed to a weigh pan by valve V1, and the weight displaces the core 22 of differential transformer 20, whose output voltage opposes the bridge unbalance voltage. When these voltages are equal, relay 25 operates to switch SS to its next position, when the quantity of second material determined by the setting of potentiometer 40 is fed by valve V2 to the weigh pan. This is repeated as required. In a modification the voltage from transformer 20 directly opposes the voltage tapped off potentiometer 27, 40 &c. Transformer 10 is used to vary the scale of the weight measurement. U.S.A. Specifications 2,640,967 and 2,801,874 are referred to.
