Title: Improvements relating to Paracresol Oxalic Acid Ester and to the Separation of Paracresol from Metacresol.
Inventor: WETTER JASPER
Filed: 1902-01-04
Granted: 1902-10-30
Abstract: 286. Wetter, J., [R³tgers, R.]. Jan. 4. Cresols and p-cresol oxalic ester.-p-Cresol-oxalic ester, of the formula CH3.C6H4.OOC.COOH, is produced by heating p-cresol, or the commercial mixture of cresols containing it, with anhydrous oxalic acid, or an anhydrous binoxalate or quadroxalate, on a water bath, or at a higher temperature. When acid oxalates are used, the liquid is filtered hot to remove the neutral oxalate which is precipitated. Upon cooling, p-cresoloxalic-ester crystallizes out, and the crystals are filtered off, pressed, and washed with benzene. The ester may be saponified by means of water, and the p-cresol is separated from the oxalic-acid solution by means of benzene, or it may be distilled over in a current of steam. When the process of producing the ester is used for separating p-cresol from m-cresol, or from crude cresol containing also o-cresol and xylenols, it is desirable to distil off in vacuo the water liberated in the process. This is, however, unnecessary if acid oxalates are used, since the neutral oxalates formed crystallize out with the water. The process is then repeated upon the residual cresol with a further quantity of oxalic acid until all the p-cresol has been removed. The residue contains the m-cresol, which, when crude cresol has been used, is separated from o-cresol and xylenol by repeated fractional distillation.

Title: Improvements in Pressure, Vacuum, and similar Gauges.
Inventor: MORGAN DAVID JOHN
Filed: 1904-01-01
Granted: 1904-10-27
Abstract: 32. Morgan, D. J. Jan. 1. Pressure and vacuum gauges are constructed so that they only indicate within certain limits, whereby more delicate readings are obtained. A bell or whistle may be arranged so as to be sounded when either limit is reached. A Bourdon tube N, Fig. 3, acts by means of a link 0 upon the short arm P of a bell-crank lever R, the long arm of which meets a pin when the lower limiting pressure is attained. The pin is attached to a plate K, which is adjustably fixed to a sector F by a pin- and-slot connection. This sector gears with a pinion on the shaft of the indicating-needle, and its movement is limited by stops S. The weight of the plate K serves to produce the return motion of the mechanism. In another arrangement the plate is dispensed with, and the lever R acts on a stud fixed to the sector. To multiply further the motion of the Bourdon tube, the lever R may act on a stud fixed to the short arm of a second lever the long arm of which meets a stud attached to the sector or to a third lever. An ordinary bell or whistle may be connected to the lever R by a wire, or an electric circuit may be closed by the contact of the sector with one of the metal pieces 8, which are adjustably attached to a metal piece 5, carried by a wooden block 2 fixed to the casing. Fig. 9 shows the apparatus combined with an ordinary gauge, the Bourdon tubes N, N<1> being placed side by side, and the shaft of one pinion E' embracing the other shaft. The index hands travel over concentric dials. Diaphragm gauges may be used instead of Bourdon tubes, or the pressure may act upon a piston RD, working in a cylinder CY, and compress a spring SP. Tubes communicate with the cylinder at each end, so that the apparatus may act either as a pressure or as a vacuum gauge, or (with two pistons) as a combined pressure and vacuum gauge.
