Abstract: 13,521. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 3. Systems for continuous-current motors only.- In the control of an electric motor by varying the excitation of a generator supplying it, the generator has its field wound for a lower voltage than that of its source of excitation, and means, operative only when the motor has started, are provided to maintain the field strength of the generator at a given value. The field F<1> of the generator is connected through a resistance R and rheostat 9 to the mains A, B. The resistance R is normally short-circuited by a relav switch, of which the winding 3 is connected across the generator. With the resistance R short-circuited, the field F<1> rapidly builds up, and, when the motor reaches a predetermined speed, or when the voltage of the generator reaches a predetermined amount, the short-circuit is opened by the relay switch. The point at which the relay operates is determined by the adjustable resistance 4.

Abstract: 10,740. Monard, A. May 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Hand-levers and hand gearing, interlocking; signals and points, interlocking.-The number and weight of the rigid planes for interlocking the hand - levers described in Specification 15,292/10 are reduced by using only one plane to control both directions for each set of points, bv supervising all points on the track close to the work, and by cutting the planes from thin sheet metal. For operating the points and signal to pass a train from the track B to the track A, the lever 6 for that route is turned and slides the plane 4 for setting the points by admitting fluid through the valve 12 from the supply 21 to the pipe 22, which is connected to the points motors M<2>, M<1>. When the points are home, the detectors C<2>, C', shown in detail in Fig. 6, are operated by the sliding rod 31. This rod 31 is slotted and provided with a spring- pressed pin 44, which holds the valve 36 up in the same position in which it is supported by the part 32 of the rod 31 except when the pipe 40 is subjected to pressure. By this means, connexion is only made between the pipes 41, 42 when pressure is supplied to the points motors to set the joints in the direction required, and then only when the points are home. Track planes 5 are also set by the hand-lever 6 to put the valves 13 in position to supply pressure fluid from the main 24 through the valve 13 appropriate to t h e points A at the exit of the track to the pipe 25, port 41, port 42 of detector C', to detector C<2> pipe 25 of valve 13 appropriate to the points B at the entrance of the track, and thence to the signal motor m<2> for the signal SB. If the handlever is replaced or the points displaced, this conduit is opened and exhausted at a points detector, and the signal set at danger. T h e planes 4, 5 are mounted on rollers 16 running on the framework of the autocombiner. The cams on the route keys are threaded on the key and kept apart by distancepieces and secured by a sleeve and pinned collar. Auxiliary levers 15 are provided for operating each plane separately if necessary. The apparatus may be used in conjunction with hydropneumatic, hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric controlling-apparatus.

Abstract: 21,893. Daudy, R. Oct. 4. Fluid-pressure.-In compressed-air or vacuum brakes in which the braking-pressure is decreased proportionately to the speed of the wheels bv means of an escape valve controlled by centrifugal or other apparatus driven from the wheels, a hollow shaft 7 communicates with the brake cylinder 3 by ports 8, 4, 2, and :s closed at one end by a cap 9 and at the other end by a valve 11, which is normally pressed on to its seat by an adjustable spring 12 and by arms 24, 25 of centrifugal apparatus 18 ... 23, which, together with the shaft 7, is driven from the wheels by means of a pulley 17. As the speed decreases, the cylinder pressure lifts the valve 11 and becomes reduced. Further adjustment may be obtained by a partition 14 provided with ports which may be covered. The escaping air may be conducted back to the reservoir. An additional brake cylinder may be arranged in communication with the first in order to provide a sufficiently large initial cylinder pressure. For vacuum brakes, the valve I! is mounted in the inverse direction.
