[Also in Division B8] In making endless bands or belts, e.g. draft aprons, of rubber, synthetic rubber or elastomeric synthetic resins, by helically winding a nylon or other cord reinforcement on to a layer of rubber &c. composition on a cylindrical mandrel under sufficient tension to cause the cord to penetrate the composition, a more accurate positioning of the cord is effected by so preparing the rubber &c. layer that the inner zone is more resistant to penetration than the outer zone. The two zones may be formed by superposed separate sleeves on the mandrel or by wrapping separate calendered sheets, one over the other, around the mandrel, the inner wrapping, if a single layer, being butt jointed, or, if overlapped, being softened with solvent or plasticizer at the overlap. The zones may comprise the same composition with different compounding ingredients or may be of different materials. Compositions of butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer having different proportions of plasticizer are described. Apparatus as described in Specifications 843,461 or 866,999 may be used.

A method of treating the bearing surfaces of metal parts comprises the steps of machining the surface in such a manner that the predominant direction of the machining marks is perpendicular to direction of rubbing of the bearing when in use, heat treating the surface to introduce a non-metallic substance or transition metal into the surface and finally work hardening the surface with rollers. As described the surface is preferably machined to a roughness of 2À5 to 3 microns and the surface treated in a salt bath or gaseous atmosphere to introduce nitrogen, sulphur, selenium or tellurium. Two treatments may be given to introduce consecutively sulphur and nitrogen. As well as work hardening the surface the rolling is stated to have the effect of causing nitride rodlets precipitated from the metal to revert to a state of solution.

Abstract: 385,666. Electromagnetic relays. BRITISH POWER RAILWAY SIGNAL CO., Ltd., Windsor Works, Slough, Bucking- hamshire, TINSLEY, H. and GALL, D. C., Werndee Hall, South Norwood, London. Sept. 1, 1931, No. 24559. [Class 38 (v).] Associated with a two-element alternating- current relay for a track circuit in a railway signalling system is means whereby the phase of the current in one or both coils of the relay is adjusted so that the phase displacement and reduction of current occurring in the track circuit when a train connects the two rails and thus shunts the relay are of mutual assistance in de-energizing the relay, to cause it to drop at a predetermined value of shunt ; the phase is preferably so adjusted that the change of phase occurring under shunt causes a reversal of the relay torque to ensure operation. The adjustment of phase may be effected by varying the reactance of the circuit of either coil of the relay or by a secondary. winding on the relay ; the relay is of high reactance compared with the shunt. In the Figure the track circuit is fed from a source of alternating current S through a transformer 8, 6, the secondary winding 6 being in series with one coil 7 of the relay. The other relay coil 9 is fed from the same source S through a reactance and impedance, which may be varied to adjust the phase of the current in this coil. Also associated with the coil 7 is a reactive circuit 12 comprising a condenser and a secondary relay winding. Specifications 153,374, [Class 105, Railway signals &c.] and 190,542, [Class 38 (ii), Electric currents, Converting &c.], are referred to.
