Abstract: Polyalkylene oxides are stabilized by a mixture of the following compounds <F\1> <F\2> and (c) R4SnR5, where R1 is hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, acyloxy, nitro, amino, substituted amino, cyano, acyl, carboxylic or sulphonic acid ester or amide, or an alkyl or aryl sulphonic acid group, A is CH2 or S, R2, R3 are alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, n is 1 to 4, and R4, R5 are alkyl or -(CH2)mCOOR6, where R6 is alkyl and m is 1 to 4. Suitable polyalkylene oxides are those obtained by polymerizing saturated alkylene oxides, halo-substituted epoxides, e.g. epichlorohydrin, cycloaliphatic epoxides, or epoxy ethers, e.g. phenyl glycidyl ether, or by copolymerizing saturated epoxides with unsaturated epoxides, e.g. glycidyl acrylate. Suitable compounds (a) are the nickel salt of 1,2,3-benztriazole and the following substituted derivatives being the nickel salts of 6-methyl-, 6-chloro-, 6-methoxy-, 5-acetylamino-, 5-butyroylamino-, 6-stearoylamino- and 6-benzoylamino - 1,2,3 - benztriazoles.  Typical compounds (b) are bis-(4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-tert - butyl - phenyl) - methane, and bis - (4-hydroxy - 2,5 - di - t - butylphenyl) - sulphide. Typical compounds (e) are di-dodecyl) sulphide, di - (octadecyl) trisulphide and tetrasulphide (diacetic acid octadecyl ester). The stabilizer may be added as a solid or in solution. The stabilized polymers may be dissolved or caused to swell, and may be cross-linked. Swelling agents or solvents are: dimethyl formamide, tetramethylene sulphone, dioxane, methanol, aromatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.  Soots, fillers, dyes or pigments, extender oils or lubricants may also be added.

[Also in Group XXV] A metal stud or pin for use with electric arc welding apparatus comprises a main part and an end portion the melting point of which is sufficiently below that of the main part to enable soldering of the stud or pin to a metallic member without melting of the main part. The main part 3 of the stud is made by forming a terminal recess 7 in a rod-shaped blank 6 of steel, copper or brass, cutting the rod at 8-8 (Fig. 3) inserting a flux paste and an end portion of solder 9 in the recess 7 and heating the blank to fuse the solder in the recess. A second terminal recess 10 is then cut in the solder 9 which is exposed by removing the wall of the recess 7 (Fig. 6). A circumferential groove 11 is cut in the blank and the recess 10 is filled with flux 13 and after covering with a cap 14 the wall of the recess is bent over the cap to retain it in place (Fig. 8). The shank 12 of the stud is inserted in an electrical resistance heating apparatus and attachment of the stud to a metallic member is brought about by application of an electric current whereupon the cap 14 melts, releasing the flux 13 and the solder 9 melts to effect the joint on solidification. The shank 12 is then broken away at the groove 11. The stud may be used for attaching a plate to a beam by inserting the stud into an opening in the plate and upon carrying out the soldering operation a connection is formed between the stud, plate and beam. Similarly a conductor terminal may be fixed to a metal member. The flux may comprise sodium tetra-borate in combination with sodium or potassium acid chloride or fluoride with the addition of potassium boron fluoride.

Abstract: 535,345. Statistical machines. DEUTSCHE HOLLERITH MASCHINEN GES.. Oct. 4, 1939, No. 27226. Convention date, Oct. 4, 1938. [Class 106 (i)] Sorting cards. - A record-card-controlled machine, operated by cards 100 having two or more decks or fields 100a, 100b and having reading means 17, 34 adjustable to any desired card column, is provided with indicating means which, when the reading means are adjusted to the desired field or column, indicate both the latter automatically on a chart 23 having a scale correlated to each card field. The invention is applied to a sorting machine having horizontal blades 18 leading directly to the card boxes, in which, at the instant the sorting magnet 37 is energized the blades ahead of the card drop and the card holds the remaining blades up to give the sorting channel. To select the desired field a switch 22 is rocked by an arm 21 in order to connect the card-reading circuit to cam contacts 31 or 32 timed for the lower 100b or upper 100a field respectively. This also brings the appropriate field scale 23 (for columns 1-20 or columns 21-40) beneath the slot 24a in the casing 24. A handle 28 is then turned to traverse the brush holder 17 to the desired card column and an index 26 attached to the holder 17 indicates the selected column. When the selected column is read by the four brushes 34, those of the magnets 50I ... 50IV which have been energized release latches 41 which move to the left and constitute a first storage device. Subsequently a bar 43 is moved left so that bell cranks 42 move clockwise and depress the released latches 41 together with rods 52 beneath those latches. Depressed rods 52 lower the corresponding levers 44 which are latched by members 45 and constitute a second storage device. The levers 44 actuate bars 60 and ladder circuits 35 in known manner, to energize the sorting magnet 37. In this way, whilst the reading set up from one card in the second storage device is controlling the sorting magnet, the details off the next card are being entered in the first storage device.
