Abstract: 2703. Johnson, W. B., [Dinkey, A. C.]. Feb. 7. Resistances. - A resistant ribbon 11 is wound on a frame consisting of side tubes 2 and transverse bars 3, 7, 10 covered by insulating - spools. The bar 7 is carried by eyebolts and nuts 9, loose on the open ends of the side tubes, so that the ribbon may be stretched by the nuts, and in use the frame hangs from the bar 7, so that the weight of the frame keeps the ribbon 11 extended when it is expanded by heating. The ends of the ribbon are attached to terminals 12. which are hooked to engage on two of the insulators on the bar 7. The frame is provided on one side with projecting insulators 14, attached by wires, to prevent contact with an adjacent frame. A number of the frames may be hung near together, the bars 7 being placed in notches in two supporting-strips.

Title: Apparatus for Automatically Regulating the Tension of Electric Currents.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1901-06-22
Granted: 1901-07-27
Abstract: 12,770. Imray, O., [Lindner, M.]. June 22. Regulating.-A wire is included in the circuit to be regulated, and is heated by the passage of the current. It regulates either by the resistance being increased with the increase of temperature, or by its expansion varying the length of resistance included in the circuit. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement. The conducting-wire 1 rests on fixed strips m, m' of non-conducting material, which serves to cool the parts in contact with it. When the wire expands, the spring f raises it at the middle, thus lifting it away from the strips m, m<1>. In a modified arrangement, the strips are of conducting-material, and thus the effective length is varied. Fig. 2 shows a form in which the wire 1 rests on the bared upper part of a coiled wire k, but, on expansion, it is raised, leaving more or less of the coil in the circuit. In a modified arrangement, the wire 1 passes within a coil of wire, but acts in a similar manner.

Title: Improvements in Electric Regulating Apparatus.
Inventor: JARED-CLARK WILLIAM
Filed: 1901-09-17
Granted: 1902-05-22
Abstract: 18,597. Clark, W. J., [Foote, J. B.]. Sept. 17. Regulating.-The object is to construct a regulator which will be checked directly the regulating effect is obtained, and will be free from oscillations. Fig. 1 is a diagram of the arrangements adapted to a potential regulator of the type described in Specification No. 19,863, A.D. 1895. This regulator has a series winding 4 and a shunt winding 5, and a movable flattened iron piece 6 which can be rotated from a rack 5<1> through the gearing shown. The rack is moved by a piston 7, which is operated by fluid pressure, the admission of the fluid being controlled by a valve 9. The fluid is pumped to a tank 10 and the pressure maintained constant by a motor 12, the starting of which is controlled automatically by a switch. The valve 9 is actuated through a controlling- device 16. An arm 35 is adapted to swing, under the influence of the coil 25, and make contact either at 44, 45, and so send a current through the coils 48, 19, or at 54, 20, and produce a movement of the armature 17, to which the valve stem is connected. The coils 48, 54 produce an oscillation of the contacts 44, 45, so that intermittent currents only pass through the coils 48 or 54, and thus oscillations of the valve are prevented. Fig. 2 shows one form of construction. The contact 35 is mounted on a rod 34, to which is attached a lever arm 28. This arm is counterweighted at 37, and is pivoted to the core 26 of the coil 25. The rod 35 is extended and dips into a vessel containing a heavy fluid to damp oscillations. The contacts 44, 45 are carried on pillars fixed on the armatures 47 of the coils 48, 54. Dash-pots are provided to prevent sudden movements of the armatures.

Title: Improvements in the Production on Fabrics of Colour Effects and in Fabrics having Colour Effects Produced thereon.
Inventor: BRANDENBERGER EDWIN
Filed: 1902-12-10
Granted: 1903-08-27
Abstract: 27,258. Brandenberger, E. Dec. 10. Printing fabrics ; embossing. - Relates to the printing of fabrics with very fine parallel lines close together, to produce various effects such as shot silk, moirÚ effects, &c. The lines may be printed as a groundwork or as a pattern or both. The process consists in using an embossing-machine for printing, and in using greasy colours as the printing ink or colour. The metal embossing cylinder is engraved with fine lines, and when inked applies the ink to the intaglio lines which it embosses on the fabric. If a three-roll machine is used, one of the paper rollers may be inked, and this transfers the colour to the intaglio lines of the metal cylinder, so that the relief fine lines embossed on the fabric are coloured. The engraved roller may have parts removed to form an uncoloured pattern, or parts not engraved to print a solid pattern. The greasy ink may be similar to printing-inks, preferably having a basis of linseed oil with powdered colours, metallic powders, or glass powders. Powders may be dusted over the printed and embossed fabric, such as powdered gold, metal, glass, paint, wool.

The secondary of the coil discharges through the gap S, and the current from the condenser C<111> passes through the windings of a transformer M<11>, the secondary of which produces equal and opposite vibrations in the vertical conductors V', V". The waves retransmitted from these conductors interfere at V, and produce no effect. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the conductors V<1>, V<11> receive the waves, and the conductor V re-transmits the signals, no resultant effect being produced on the system V<1>,V<11>.
