Patent GB-190908345-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Self Regulating Alternating Current Additional Machine or Booster.
Inventor: MOSER ROBERT
IPC: H02K19/30
Filed: 1909-04-06
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 8345. Moser, R. July 11, 1908, [Convention date]. Boosting.-Voltage drop on an alternating- current system is compensated for by a synchronously-driven commutator booster, in which both the rotor and stator are supplied with the line current, or, in the case of the rotor, from a current transformer. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the stators d, s of the alternator and booster respectively are in series, and the field i of the alternator, which is energized by direct current, is on the same shaft as the booster rotor l. This is supplied through brushes b from a current transformer c, regulation of the voltage and phase displacement of the added electromotive force being effected by shifting the brushes, and by a resistance w. The additional machine can be used with single-armature transformers, or with synchronous motors, or in common for a number of such machines connected in parallel. Where a number of additional machines, one for each transmission line, are driven in common, each machine is adjusted by short-circuiting its one line at the distant end, and manipulating the brushes and resistance w so as to reduce to zero the potential difference between the leads on the generator side of the booster. The booster may be driven by a synchronous motor. Additional ampÞre-turns may be produced in the rotor l by direct or alternating current applied under hand control through separate windings. Specifications 6103/09 and 7106/ 09, [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.], are referred to.

Granted: 1910-08-02
Abstract: 17,850. Boult, A. J., [Forrester, H., and Little, E. S.]. July 31. Fixed-chamber apparatus with several open chambers.-A machine for filling cans with oil &c. comprises two series of measuring-chambers C connected together in pairs at their inlets C<2> and outlets C<3> by three-way cocks E, E<3>, respectively. In Fig. 1 only one series is shown. The sectional area of the upper part of each measuring-chamber is reduced and each communicates by an overflow opening C<5> with a shoot C<6>. The chambers are connected together at C<7> so that all fill and overflow together, and any one vessel may be cut out and the space bridged by a tube. Baffles C<4> may be used to prevent turbulence of the liquid. The capacity of each measuring-chamber is adjusted by a plunger F carried by a wire F<1> passing over a pulley on a shaft F<3> operated by worm gearing and a hand-wheel F', and the machine is so graduated that the plungers can be adjusted readily to fill accurate quantities of oils of known specific gravity. The inlet and outlet valves of the measuring-chambers are operated through worm gearing by shafts G<6>, G<9> driven from a main shaft G by chain gearing and a hand-wheel G', clutches being so arranged that only one shaft G<6> or G<9> is driven at a time. Movement of the hand-wheel G<1> in one direction sets the valves to fill one set of chambers, and movement in the opposite direction empties the other set. Further movement in the first direction then fills the set just emptied, and on again reversing, the previously filled set of chambers is emptied. Thus all the supply valves of one set are operated without affecting the discharge valves and vice versa. A counter I is operated through ratchet gear to register the number of times the valves are operated and thus the number of receptacles filled, and indicators are provided for showing the position of the three-way cocks.
