Title: Improvements in Selective Signalling Devices.

Abstract: 26,608. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T., acting for Western Electric Co]. Nov. 19. Electric selectors. -In selecting-apparatus of the kind in which a station is called by combinations of numbers of impulses separated by pauses, driving and holding-magnets are provided for each apparatus, the release of the armature of the holding- magnet being adapted to retain the contact-closing mechanism against release at the desired station during the pauses between the impulses. The armature of the stepping- magnet 106 controls the arm 110 and the armature of the slow-acting holding-magnet 107 the arm 111. The first received impulse causes the arm 111 to actuate the three arms 114, 115, and 116. The arm 114 allows the stepping-pawl 113 to engage with the ratchetwheels 143, 144, the arm 116 moves back the pawl 120, and the arm 115 allows the bolding-pawl 117 to engage with the ratchet-wheels. The succeeding impulses cause the magnet 106 to drive round the ratchet - wheels through the arm 110 and pawl 113, and when a pause occurs and the slow-acting magnet 107 releases its armature, the arm 116 allows the concave side of the pawl 120 to move against the pin 147 on the disk 146 at all stations for which the pin 147 has been so spaced, so preventing the return of the disk 146 and wheel 143 at these stations. The ratchet-wheel 144 returns to initial position. Other pins 148, 149, 150 are arranged to act in the same .way so that at the desired station, the contact 156, 157 is closed and a bell is rung. The contact 165 on the wheel 144 is adapted to complete a short circuit for the driving-magnet through the contact 166, if a large number of impulses, such as those of a telegraphic message, pass over the line. The pin 172 engages in the slot 170 and limits the extent of movement of the ratchet-wheels. In a modified form shown in Fig. 7, two spaced arms 47, 48 are carried round by the ratchet-wheel. If the first pause occurs when the arm 47 is opposite the cupshaped pin 42, the wheel is held against release, but as the arm 47 has an insulating end, no circuit is completed. If the second pause occurs when the arm 48 is opposite the pin 42, the release of this pin by the slow-acting holding-magnet 6 completes a circuit for the bell 50. The end of the pin 42, Fig. 7, and the pawl 120 are normally.out of the path of the arms 47, 48 and the studs 147 ... 150, Fig. 2, so that the ratchet-wheels can return to normal position without engaging with them. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the stepping-impulses must be two groups of odd numbers each, so that the total number of impulses is even, thus preventing the actuation of the device by a code number.

Abstract: 3954. S³chting, H. F. Feb. 16. Hatching-appliances. -In an incubator in which, in addition to the usual thermostat, a second thermostat is employed to regulate the intensity of circulation of the air, the thermostats are located in different zones of temperature, and a portion of the heat is used for preheating the circulating air, another portion being transmitted directly to the water tank while a third portion is transmitted indirectly to the air-outlet pipes to promote the circulation of the air. The heated air passes from a pipe 1, surrounded by a pipe 2, into a chamber 30 and thence along a duct 31 into the open. Heat is transmitted by -the duct 31 to an air chamber 32, which heats the water tank 34 and the outlet pipes 36, Fig. 2. Within the pipe 1 is a pipe 3, open at one end and leading at the other end to a pipe 5 passing into a chamber 7, the roof 10 of which constitutes the bottom of the water tray 11. The temperature of the water is controlled by a thermostat 16, which operates.a chain connected to a weighted valve on the end of an exit pipe 9. Air, passing into the chamber 60 by an opening 57 regulated by a valve 56 controlled by the second thermostat 49, passes over the water tray 11 to a duct 90 in the egg chamber through a metallic heating-device 46, which comprises interconnected plates 39, 40, 41 or a closely-wound coil and is connected by one or more metal plates with the wall 35 of the tank 34.

Twist drills, sharpening.-In the boss 13 at the end of the arm 11 is mounted the stem of the member 24 having its surface hollowed to form a rest for the drill. On this member are secured a fixed jaw 28 and a pivoted spring- controlled jaw 29; these engage near the point of the drill with the bases of the flutes. The tail of the drill bears upon a plunger 35 mounted in a slide 36 carried by a rod 26 which is secured in the member 24 at an angle to its stem. The drill is moved axially by a screw 37 having a flanged head to engage an annular groove in the plunger; in virtue of the engagement of the flutes with the jaws the axial movement of the drill is accompanied by a rotary movement. The extent of the swivelling movement of the part 24 in the boss 13 is limited by a screw stop, and the distance of the holder from the face of the grinding-disk 6 is adjusted by moving the arm 11 along the supporting-rod 9. To facilitate this operation, the boss is provided with a divided plate 15 to which is pivoted an arm 18 formed with a cam projection 47 which may be set against the face of the lug 7 on the machine frame. The arm is clamped in position on the disk by means of a spring-pressed lever 19 pivoted at 22 and provided with a thumb-piece 21 for releasing it.
