Inventor: BRYAN JUSTUS LESSEY
IPC: B61L3/18
Filed: 1910-06-04
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 13,583. Bryan, J. L. June 4. Electrical systems, automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on trains.-Each train carries a battery and alarm or train-stopping gear in series with a pair of contact rollers which run upon parallel conductors placed by the side of the track rails. The conductors and track rails are divided into blocks. When a train enters a block, the conductors meeting at the next junction ahead are connected. If two trains enter blocks having the conductors electrically connected, the train circuits are united and the two batteries co-operate to give the alarm. A switch, as shown in Fig. 4, is placed at each junction of the conductors. When a train enters a section, a wheel depresses a lever 26, momentarily closing at contacts 27, 28 the circuit of a magnet 22 in the switch at the next junction ahead. This magnet attracts its armature 23 and closes contacts 24, 25, thereby connecting the conductors at the junction. The armature 23 is locked, with the contacts 24, 25 together, by a plate 30. When the train reaches this junction, it depresses the lever 26, releases the armature 23 in the same box, and excites the armature 23 at the next junction ahead. The train-stopping devices are operated by a spring piston which is normally held, with the spring compressed, by a catch. When a train receives a signalling-current, an electromagnet is excited, its armature removes the catch, and the piston is released.

Abstract: 1579. Scarff, F. W. Jan. 21. Photographic recorders; recording by coordinates ; graduations of record surfaces ; recording small movements.-In apparatus for photographically recording the torque transmitted by a propeller or like shaft and the number of revolutions thereof, a ring 5, Fig. 1, moves relatively to the coupling of the shaft 1 when torque occurs therein, and by means of a finger 8 (see also Fig. 5), rocks a lever 9 and slides a spring-controlled shutter 14 so as to uncover, to an extent depending on the torque transmitted, a slit illuminated by a lamp 18 through a condenser 17. The light passes at each revolution through the lenses 19 of a camera and falls upon a clock-rotated and timegraduated photographic film 23, Fig. 2. A glass screen overlying the film is engraved with lines representing torque and corresponding to tests made upon the particular shaft. These lines are reproduced on the film, as shown in Fig. 4, and the same films arc therefore adapted for use with the shafts of various ships. The camera is free to move longitudinally with the shaft; errors arising from the expansion of the shafting are thus avoided, and other inaccuracies are provided against. An external sleeve may be substituted for the sleeve 2. Recording by distinctive marks. - To record the revolutions of the shaft, a worm 35 drives a shaft 37 through a worm-wheel 34 and by means of free-wheels or the like actuates in one direction only the wheels 40, 41 and a further free-wheel 43 of a counting apparatus. These wheels are notched so that once during a predetermined number of revolutions, say, a thousand, a lever 42, having three projections resting on the peripheries of the wheels, falls and rocks shutters so as to uncover a pair of slits. Images of these slits fall on either edge of the time-graduated film, as shown in Fig. 4, thus recording thousands of revolutions.
