Inventor: SMITHELLS COLIN JAMES
IPC: C22C5/00
Filed: 1943-09-24
Abstract: A metallurgical process consists in agglomerating by pressing and sintering metals of the platinum class with or without alloying ingredients, in amounts yielding cold-working alloys with one or more of the following oxides, namely zirconia, hafnia, ceric oxide and titanium dioxide, the quantity of which oxide is not greater than 10 per cent by weight of the metal, all the ingredients being in a finely divided condition, the sintered body being subsequently swaged, rolled, drawn or otherwise treated to bring it into the form of a wire or sheet suitable for use in the production of desired articles.  A minor part of the said oxide content may be replaced by one or more other oxides which are stable at the sintering temperature whether or not sintering is carried out in the presence of hydrogen or other reducing gas.  The following binary alloys may be used, namely platinum alloyed with up to 30 per cent of rhodium, iridium or palladium, or with up to 8 per cent of molybdenum, manganese or tungsten, or up to 15 per cent of ruthenium, gold, cobalt or nickel.  In an example 100 c.c.s. of distilled water containing 90 grammes of platinum in the form of a suspension of ammonium chloroplatinate, 50 c.c.s. of a solution containing 10 grammes of rhodium as ammonium hexachlororhodate and 10 c.cs. of a solution containing 0.2 grammes of zirconium oxide in the form of zirconium nitrate are mixed, made up to 200 c.c.s. with distilled water, evaporated to dryness and heated slowly to about 350 DEG C to decompose the salts to metal and zirconium oxide, the decomposition being completed at about 600 DEG C.  The product is crushed, heated in a stream of hydrogen at about 850 DEG C, sieved, pressed in a steel mould under a pressure of about 30 tons per square inch, sintered in hydrogen at about 1400-1500 DEG C and treated mechanically to bring it to the desired form such as wire or sheet. The product may be used as sparking plug electrodes, thermocouples, electric-furnace heating elements or wire gauze catalysts.

Title: Improvements in and relating to gyroscopic artificial horizons and gyro-verticals
IPC: G01C19/44
Filed: 1940-10-25
Abstract: 542,565. Gyroscopic apparatus. SPERRY GYROSCOPE CO., Inc. Oct. 25, 1940, No. 15709. Convention date, Oct. 28, 1939. [Class 97 (iii)] A gyro-horizon or gyro-vertical comprises coercive means (a weight) for ensuring that, when the rotor is stationary, the axis thereof is near the vertical position, and means responsive to the supply of power used to drive the gyroscope for rendering the coercive means inoperative. The invention is shown applied to a gyroscope wherein the rotor 13 is driven by air drawn through the instrument casing (not shown) by way of a channel 11 in the gyro casing 10 and past the usual erecting pendulous shutters which, as described in Specification 538,574 co-operate with baffle members to minimize the adverse effects of acceleration forces due to turns or change of speed. In accordance with the present invention the gyro casing carries a mass 19 vertically and automatically adjustable to raise or lower the centre of gravity of the gyroscope. The mass is secured inside a sylphon bellows 22 communicating by a capillary tube 26 with the air channel 11. When the gyroscope is idle, the mass 19 occupies the position shown and renders the gyroscope pendulous so that its axis remains approximately vertical and in a favourable position for starting up. In starting up the gyroscope, the air pressure outside the bellows falls and the mass 19 rises until, at the working speed, the gyroscope reaches neutral equilibrium. The rise of the mass 19 is retarded by the throttling effect of the capillary tube 26 upon the air passing from the channel 11 to the bellows.

Abstract: 222,177. Turner, F. J., Starck, J. E. E., Craig, J. R., and Packman, P. J. June 19, 1923. Moulding cellulose acetate &c.-Relates to the manufacture of sound records of the kind wherein the surface material is mounted upon a laminated body consisting of a number of sheets of paper cemented together. The surface material is employed in thin sheet form, and consists of cellulose acetate or other thermo-plastic substance having similar properties, such a substance being used as an adhesive or binding material for amalgamating together a number of sheets of porous, absorbent paper forming the record body. The sheets are coated or partially impregnated with the binding material, applied in solution, and after being allowed to dry partially, several sheets are piled together. Alternatively, thin films of the binding material are interposed between the layers of paper. Two sheets of the record-surface material, about 5 thousandths of an inch thick are then placed one on either side of the laminated body (if a double-sided record is required), and the whole is then impressed between matrices. The impressing may be done at a high temperature, e.g. about 290‹ F., and at a comparatively low ultimate pressure, such as 250 lbs. to the square inch; this enables light shell matrices, without strengthening backings, to be used. The solvent escapes in gaseous form through the porous layers, and the binding medium is caused to permeate the sheets throughout. The pressure and temperature are maintained for a period such as one to five minutes. The matrices and the enclosed record may be removed together from the press whilst hot, and quickly cooled between cold plates. Instead of pressing between matrices, plain surfaces may be used, in order to produce blanks which may be stored for future use. The temperature used in pressing such blanks is well below that at which the finished record is produced, the final stage being preferably preceded by a re-heating of the blanks at a fairly low temperature in an atmosphere of the solvent vapours.
