Abstract: 3963. Lefort, C. G. Feb. 19. Permanent way; electric railways; electric locomotives and motor vehicles.-In a high-speed railway system, the vehicles are supported on a central #-shaped rail A and are steadied by horizontal wheels G, Fig. 2, or vertical grooved wheels G, Fig. 3, engaging an overhead rail F fixed to frames E, or by ordinary wheels and rails on opposite sides of the rail A. In a motor vehicle, the driving-wheel B is made of large diameter, and is enclosed in a casing in the middle of the vehicle. Its periphery is grooved to fit the rail at the sides but to clear it at the top so as to give a good grip. The ordinary wheels D are shaped to bear on the top of the rail A only. The brake may consist of a shoe I which can be forced down on to the rail A by a lever K. The movement of the lever K may be arranged also to interrupt an electric circuit or to switch the current of an electromagnetic brake shoe. The locomotive vehicle may draw a train of vehicles, and may be driven by an electric motor and a trolley wire or accumulators, or by a steam, petrol, or other engine, or, in case of need, by manual or animal power.

Abstract: 8533. Hood, J. C. April 15. Window holders; window opening and closing apparatus.-Sliding windows, gates, and the like are raised, lowered, and secured by apparatus such as that shown in Figs. 1 and 6. In the frame, in line with the lower sash, are recesses 4 adapted to contain flexible tubes 5, closed at the top, and movable bars 6 having concave surfaces, as shown in Fig. 6. The lower sash carries cylinders 12, closed at the top, fitted with hollow pistons 14 and hollow piston-rods 13, which are in communication with a source of fluid pressure by pipes 19 and a valve box, as shown in Fig. 1. The tubes 5 are also in communication with the source of fluid pressure by pipes 26 and the valve box. The valve box contains a slide valve, which is adapted to be slid by the finger, and works in connection with suitable parts, so that, when slid to the extreme left, the fluid entering by the pipe 20 is directed to the pistons 13, thus raising the window &c., and, when slid to the extreme right, it is directed to the flexible tubes, which with the bars 6 serve to hold the window &c. and prevent it from rattling. When the valve is slid into the middle position, the parts are open to exhaust and the window is released and allowed to fall.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Sighting and Firing Ordnance.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1903-10-24
Granted: 1903-11-26
Abstract: 23,061. Justice, P. M., [Curtis, H. E.]. Oct. 24. Ordnance, discharging by means external to breech mechanism; sights and methods of sighting.-The sighting telescope, which can be moved independently of the gun, is kept as constantly as possible on the target, and an electric firing circuit is completed only when the gun is properly elevated and trained, the triggerswitch in the circuit being closed by the gun pointer only while the telescope is sighted on the target. One form of the invention is shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 4. A sector H, with an arc H<1> of insulating-material in which is embedded a contact-strip h', is turned about the horizontal axis F<1>, on which the telescope E is mounted, as the gun is elevated or depressed, by the arm K on the trunnion a<1> the rod I, and the arm H<2 >on the sector H. The position of a contact at the end of a pointer F<2>, pivoted on the same axis F<1> and moving with the telescope E, is adjusted to suit the range by means of the range-drum F<6>, whose screw-point f<7> is pressed by a spring against the arm F' attached to the pointer F<2>. The relative position of a second pair of contacts is similarly adjusted to secure correct training. A pointer E<1> with a contact is carried on the upper end of the vertical axis, about which the telescope E turns, and a sector M having a contact-strip moves with the gun. The sector M is slightly shifted to correct for the variation with the range of the " lateral deviation" by two downwardlyprojecting arms M<2> bearing against opposite sides of the eccentric F<4> on the hub of the pointer F<2>. In the form shown in Figs. 10, 11, 12, and 13, there is only one sector Q carrying two contact-strips and the two pointers t, t<1> are attached to the same arm T' carried on the axis T of the telescope E. The position of the sector Q, which is pivoted on a projection from the trunnion a, is adjusted to suit the range by means of a rack Q<2> gearing with a pinion R<4> which gears with the range-drum R. The contact-strips q<2> for training and q<3> for elevation, are shown in Fig. 11, the pointers and their contact-pieces being moved by the sighting telescope E as before. The use of a single telescope E for pointing two turret guns A is shown in Figs. 14 and 15. The vertical pivot S<1> about which the telescope turns carries a pointer E<1> with a contact moving over a sector M<1> attached to the turret whose motion trains the gun. The adjustments for elevation are made by means of a horizontal axis X, which is turned with the telescope by a rod Y and arm X<1> and carries pointers X', the corresponding sectors turning with the guns as already described. A single telescope may be used for pointing four guns in superposed turrets having the upper turrets attached to the lower.
