Patent GB-189800671-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Level Crossing Gates for Railways.
Inventor: ANNETT JAMES PHILIP
Filed: 1898-01-10
Granted: 1898-11-12
Abstract: 671. Annett, J. P. Jan. 10. Crossing-gates.-The gates, which are provided with rollers on the front edges, are, when closed across the line, adapted to be opened by a projection O on the engine, and to be securely locked across the roadway while the train is on the crossing. The cranks b on the rear of the gates are connected with counterweights which tend to close the gates across the line, and are connected with each other by means of connecting-rods e, e<1>, e<2>, e<3>, cranks f, g, and rods h<1>, h<2> attached to a blade h. The blade h, which has a friction roller g<1>, passes under a blade k having an incline n and connected with a vertically-movable slide or treadle m, on the inner side of one of the rails, through counterweighted cranks and connecting-rods. The gates are first partially opened by the engine, which causes the blade h to slide under the blade k until the roller g<1> reaches the incline n. The wheel of the engine then reaches the slide m, and presses it down, thus causing the blade k to slide towards the rail, and to push, by means of the incline n, the blade h still further in the original direction, so as completely to close the gates across the roadway. The blade k now holds the roller g<1> of the blade h, and thus securely fastens the gate, until the train passes, when the gates and their connections automatically revert to their original positions.

Abstract: 6681. Rowley, J. T. April 10. Rolling. - Taper circular rods or bars are rolled from the cylindrical shape by passing the rod through two pairs of grooves, either in the same pair or in different pairs of rolls. The first groove 2 imparts to the rod an elliptical section at the centre as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, which give dimensions for a typical example, the flattening at the minor axis being greater than the spreading along the major axis. The rod is then passed through the second pair of grooves which give it a tapering circular section as shown in Fig. 3, the minimum diameter being greater than the minor axis, but less than the major axis. The rolls, Fig. 2, are gapped or recessed, and the operative portion of the second pair of grooves is longer than the first, to allow for elongation of the rod.
