Title: Dictating Machine with Disc Records.
Inventor: JAMES REGINALD WILLIAM
Filed: 1912-11-28
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 15,861. James, R. W., [Compagnie GÚnÚrale de Phonographs, CinÚmatographes, et Appareils de PrÚcision]. Nov. 28. Phonographs etc.; driving; feed-motions; tonearm joints; turntables; records. - A dictating machine employing disk records has its producer and recorder controlled from an oscillating shaft by crossed links so that both cannot be in contact with the record at one time, the same movement lowering the sound-box and throwing in the appropriate clutch. The turn-table is adjustable so that thick disks may be employed, the active surface being restored to its normal level after planing-off an old record. The recording and reproducing portions are symmetrically arranged, and consist of soundboxes 21, 22, fed by oppositely-threaded screws 37, and having bent tone-arms sliding in a slotted tube 30 which communicates with the sound conduits 32, 33. The feed-device consists of a wheel 43' Fig. 7 normally held by a spring 43<11> and functioning as a nut to the screw 37, but movable by hand by rotating a milled head, when it runs along the screw as upon a rack-bar. The soundboxes are lifted and lowered respectively by means of a rocking-shaft 23 upon which slide inversely-keyed projections 21<1>, 22<1>, Fig. 3, from which the sound-boxes are suspended by crossed links 22<11>. The movement of the control 23 is indicated upon a dial which has also a " neutral " marking. The clutches, by which motion is conveyed from the motor 1 through worm-gearing 34, 35, and bevel-gearing 38 to the feed-screw, are simultaneously operated as shown in Fig. 4. A finger 23<1> on the shaft 23 acts upon a collar k on the clutch-sleeve h to withdraw or release it. The clutch at the other end being inverted, is therefore reversely operated by a finger similarly mounted. An intermediate neutral position is provided for. The arrangement for restoring the surface of the disk to its normal level after planing comprises a lever 16, Fig. 1, operating a spindle having upon its lower end a cam 20, by means of which, through a lever 18, the turntable 9 is raised to the standard height indicated by a head 13. (This arrangement may be dispensed with when thin records or a paper foundation are employed.) Hand and foot switches may be fitted for the control of the motor 1.

Title: Improvements in Brush Holders for Dynamo Electric Machines.
Inventor: HOLMES JOHN HENRY
IPC: H01R39/38
Filed: 1912-10-08
Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 22,985. Holmes, J. H. Oct. 8. Brush-holders, wherein a rectilinear feeding motion is given to the brush as it wears, are made by giving the pressing-finger a curved form and adapting it to roll upon a fixed path on the brush-holder, the curve and the path being so shaped that the end of the pressing- finger bears rectilinearly upon the brush throughout the stroke. Springs to give the feeding pressure, and a restraining-device to ensure true rolling of the curved finger, are provided. The path l is straight and parallel to the line 'of feed of the brush f. The curve g of the finger is part of a circle the centre, of which is situated at x where the finger d bears upon the pressure foot e. A spring m gives the necessary feeding pressure, and by attaching it to the finger 'at a point n where the leverage is greatest when the spring is least stretched an approximately constant pressure is maintained on the brush for all stages of wear. The finger d is held in position against the spring m by a flexible strip h, or the rolling surfaces may be toothed.
