Granted: 1912-08-22
Abstract: 1663. Heylandt, C. W. P. Jan. 20. Cold-retaining vessels. - A vacuum-insulated metallic vessel for liquefied gases consists of an outer vessel B having a long neck 14 to which is secured the long narrow neck 4 of the inner vessel A, so that the inner vessel is suspended within the outer when the apparatus is upright. The neck 4 is so thin that, if the apparatus is tilted, the inner vessel rests against the outer vessel as shown.

Title: Improvements in or relating a Apparatus for Operating and Controlling Railway Point Locking Devices.
Inventor: ANGUS ARTHUR REGINALD
IPC: B61L21/06
Filed: 1912-02-15
Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 5918. Angus, A. R. Feb. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Locking-devices.-The circuit of electrical apparatus for locking.and unlocking railway points from a track station is adapted to be interrupted by means of an electro-magnetic device, placed in series with an insulated portion of the track on either side of the points, except when current of a predetermined strength flows through the electro-magnetic device. This arrangement is shown as applied to a locking-bolt M of the known kind, the points being operated in any suitable manner. The bolt M is moved into its locking and unlocking positions by the solenoids J, K respectively, and is itself locked by a pivoted catch 62 controlled by another solenoid L. On the movement of the catch-lever h, the arm 88 places the electro-magnetic device E in series with the battery 70, rail sections 74 to 120, resistance 86, and rail sections 80 to 82. If this circuit is in order, and the section is empty, the current then flowing is arranged to be of such a strength that the electro-magnet E can lift the armature 94 and complete (1) the point lock circuit from the battery 70, wire 73, armature 94, contact 95, and wire 69, to the contacts 107, 108; and (2) the circuit of one of the coils F, G according as the arm 88 engages contact 92 or 91, whereby the connexions are arranged for unlocking or locking respectively. Should the resistance 86 he short-circuited by the wheels of a train, or in any other manner, the current through the electro-magnet E exceeds the predetermined amount, and the armature 94 is lifted with sufficient force to raise the weighted contact lever from its contact 95, and thus prevents the closing of the point lock circuit. The resistance 72<a> prevents the coils F, G from being shortcircuited by the rail 74. At the instant of closing either of the circuits through the solenoids J, K, and L, only a portion of the solenoid J or K is energized, whereas the whole of the solenoid L is energized. The catch 62 is then withdrawn quickly, and the contacts 61 are broken and contacts 59 closed, whereby only a portion of the solenoid L is energized and the whole of the solenoid J or K. Specification 3828/12 is referred to.

Abstract: 15,711. Marks, E. C. R., [Caldwell, J.]. July 8. Chlorinating; lixiviating.-Ores containing gold and silver &c. are treated with nascent chlorine by passing a direct or alternating current through a chloride solution such as a common salt solution, with which the pulverized ore is mixed, and the gases evolved are compressed and returned to the treating - tank to agitate the charge. When direct current is used, the metals are deposited on the cathode, and in the presence of copper the current may be adapted to deposit only the gold and silver first. When alternating current is used, chlorides are obtained, from which the metals may be extracted in any suitable manner. When coarse grains of gold occur in the charge, the chlorination may be interrupted, and the charge passed over amalgamated plates. The apparatus described comprises a crusher A, a ball-mill B from which the' crushed ore may be raised by hand to a wooden tank C having a central compressed-air lift delivery for thinning the pulp and keeping it agitated, a concentrating-table D, a treatment tank E, a precipitation tank F, a pump G, for transferring the solution from the tank F to a stock tank H, from which it passes to the tank C, and a.n air pump or compressor J.
