Abstract: 622,037. Desks. HARRIS & SHELDON, Ltd., SANKEY & SONS, Ltd., J., and BUTLER, H. G. March 5, 1947, Nos. 6207 and 15098. [Class 52 (iii)] A desk of the kind having side pillars or pedestals each resting on a base is provided with intermediate members which when inserted in one position between the pedestal and its base results in a given height to the desk and when inserted in another position, such as reversed, results in another height to the desk. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3 the intermediate member 4 inserted between the base 3 and the pedestal 2 comprises side channel members 5 so connected by cross channel members 6 as to lie in different planes. In the position of the intermediate member 4 shown the desk is in its higher position and in order to set the desk at its lower height the intermediate member is reversed so that the side channel members 5 are in effect below the channel members 6 upon which the pedestal rests. Fig. 7 shows another form of intermediate member 14 comprising a plate 10 having edge flanges 8, 9 and an aperture 11 with depending side flanges 12 with inturned edges 13. For the higher position of the desk the intermediate member 14 is placed on the base 3 so that the plate 10 supports the pedestal and the inturned edges 13 rest on the base 3. To arrange the desk at the lower height the member 14 is reversed so that the other sides of the inturned edges 13 rest on the base 3 and the pedestal 2 also resting on the edges 13 the plate 10 then being below the top of the base 3. In another form separate bars of Z form constitute the intermediate member and the height of the desk is determined according to whether the upper or the lower flanges of the bars rest on the base.

Abstract: 553,853. Telemetering arrangements. CHAMBERLAIN & HOOKHAM, Ltd., JAMES, S., WEBB, E. A., and BRAINS, W. F. May 8, 1942, No. 6249. [Class 37] [Also in Group XIX] A totalizing means for use with a plurality of electricity meters or other measuring instruments of the kind provided with a contact device having an actuating member which is movable independently of the meter by electromagnetic means, comprises a pair of switches and an electromagnet for actuating the same in association with each meter. In the form shown each meter a has contacts b and an electromagnet c forming part of a contact device similar to that described in Specification 517,110, [Group XXXVII]. In accordance with the present invention each meter is associated with an electromagnet d adapted to actuate a pair of switches e, f. Each of the switches comprises a movable blade g and a pair of fixed contacts h and the switches are interconnected. by lines i, j. The upper fixed contacts of the switches e are connected by branch lines m to a common line n in circuit with an electromagnet o for actuating the totalizing mechanism. The branch lines m may contain electromagnets p forming part of a repeating mechanism. In operation when the contacts b in the meter close, the corresponding electromagnet d is energized to throw-over the switches e and f. Regarding switch c current now flows from the source of supply k, the upper contact h, branch line m to the totalizer actuating electromagnet o. Regarding switch f current will flow from the source k through contacts b, elecromagnet c line j to return line q. When electromagnet c is energized the contacts b are caused to open thereby de-energizing the electromagnet d and causing the switches e, f to resume their normal position.

Abstract: 1,216,266. Digital transmission systems. CREED & CO. Ltd. 5 Feb., 1969 [8 Feb., 1968], No. 6307/68. Heading H4P. A keyboard transmitter passes characterrepresenting signals to an endless store, e.g. a tape loop or drum, the store being stepped, after each line of characters in the text by an amount sufficient to allow one or more subsequent lines of characters to be stored between the end of one line and the start of the line next in order. The resulting interleaved lines of characters are transmitted. For example, if successive lines are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the lines appear on the endless store, and are transmitted, in the order 1, 4, 2, 5, 3. As described a message consists of 17 lines of 72 characters each. When a key is pressed a parallel-bit signal is stored on a drum, the drum advanced one character pitch by an escapement mechanism, and a character counter incremented. Whenever the carriage return key is operated a line counter is incremented and the drum is advanced by one line pitch. When both the line and character counters are full, i.e. at the end of a message, a pulse is recorded on a clock track of the store and the store is rotated. Upon reading the clock track pulse the transmission channel is connected to the store output and the stored interleaved lines of characters are passed to the channel via a parallel-serial converter. When the clock pulse is again read out, i.e. after one revolution of the drum, the channel is disconnected and the drum rotation stopped.
