Patent GB-191203989-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Duplicating Machines.
Inventor: RUSHWORTH GEORGES ARTHUR WILLI
IPC: B41L13/04
Filed: 1912-02-17
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 3989. Rushworth, G. A. W. Feb. 17. [Cognate Application, 13,633/12.] Rotary machines; roller copying - presses; stencilling apparatus. -Rotary duplicators or copying - presses are fitted with reciprocating or oscillating printing- stamps arranged above the feed-board of the machine and adapted to print a signature, the word ' copied ' or the like on a letter before it passes to the machine, this impression being preferably in a different colour from that printed by the machine. As applied to a stencil duplicator, Fig. 1, a stamp E of the turn-over or selfinking kind is arranged above the feed table D, and is mounted so that it can be adjusted transversely on a bar f, which can be adjusted longitudinally on bars F at either side of the feed table. The stamp E is arranged to be depressed on to the letters before they are fed to the printing drum A by means of a lever G, which is preferably formed in two parts normally held together by a spring and is actuated by a pin g on one of the driving- wheels of the drum A. This pin engages a slot in a spring-controlled lever g' pivoted to the lever G, and the pin g first raises the lever G and subsequently the pin g is released from the lever g<1> and the lever G returns quickly under the action of a spring g<2>, causing a cross-bar H to depress the stamp E. The bar H is adjustably carried in a pair of levers G, so that its position may be made to correspond with that of the stamp. In a modification, the stamp E is actuated by raising the levers G by means of a cam-surface on the type drum. The stamp may be reciprocated by cam or crank mechanism, and more than one stamp may be arranged to print on one letter. In a further modification, Figs. 6 and 8, the stamp E is arranged to print on letters fed over a table P to a roller copying-press. The stamp E in this case is carried by a lever K loose on a shaft M oscillated by cam-and-lever mechanism n, N, n<1>, and a lever .arm L connected by links l to the stamp E assists in actuating the stamp. When the shaft M is moved in such a direction as to raise the arm L, a bent pin l<1> on the arm L acts on a pin k and raises the arm K and stamp E. On the return movement of the shaft M the arm K is arrested when the stamp E moves on to the letter and the continued movement of the arm L effects the printing. The stamps may be fitted with ink reservoirs, or may print through ribbons.

Abstract: 19,517. Alexanderson, E. F. W. Aug. 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Alternating - current commutator machines.- For compensation in a polyphase commutator motor, a polyphase alternating-current source is connected between the brushes of the motor and its compensating- windings so as to supply current to the armature and the compensating- windings. The Figure shows 'an arrangement in which the secondary windings b<2> of an induction motor B constitute a polyphase source connected between the brushes d of an alternating-current commutator motor A and its delta - connected compensating - winding E, the induction motor being supplied from mains L. The windings b<2> are connected at both ends to slip-rings, and the rings 1, 2, 3 are connected to the brushes d and the rings 4, 5, 6 to the compensating-coils E, each of which, in the case shown, extends over 120 degrees. The connexions to the coils E are made at points opposite to the brushes d. Although forming no part of the present invention, a shunt excitation winding G and a commutating-winding F, in series therewith, are shown on the motor. These are excited from the gamma-connected secondary coils S of transformers P fed from the secondary windings of the polyphase source B. In the system shown, the commutator motor drives an asynchronous generator I, which is connected to the mains L.

Stereoscopic apparatus.-Apparatus for viewing projected stereoscopic pictures A1' B1, A2, B2 comprises an apertured box containing two pairs of mirrors, one mirror S1 of each pair reflecting one of the pictures on to the other mirror S2 from which it is reflected through one of two viewing-tubes T to one eye of the observer. As shown in Fig. 1, the left picture is reflected by the left mirror S1, and the right picture by the right mirror S1, but the positions of the pictures may be reversed, or the pictures may be placed one above the other. When the viewing-apparatus is so placed that one picture is nearer to it than the other by an amount such that the eyes of the observer cannot accommodate themselves to the apparent difference in size of the pictures, a concave lens L may be placed in the path of the rays from the nearer picture. A slide fitted with several lenses and permitting any of them to be inserted or withdrawn from the viewing-tube T may be fitted for this purpose.
