Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 11,926. Newlands, B. E. R., and Parkinson, R. M. May 20. Electrolytes for chromic cells. A dry or solid preparation, which may be stored until required, is formed by mixing approximately 200 grms. of sodium bicromate, or an equivalent amount nf the potassium salt, with 125 c.c. of sulphuric acid; the solid is dissolved in water, mixed with a solution of about 20 grms. of chloride or other salt of sodium and diluted to one litre to give the electrolyte. Electrodes of zinc and carbon are preferably used; and the cell may be hermetically sealed, since no gas is evolved. According to the Provisional Specification, corresponding chromates may replace the bicromates, and the action may be prolonged by adding sodium sulphate or using more sodium chloride, or an electrolyte may be formed by dissolving the solid in water alone.

Smoothing. - A twine-polishing machine is arranged to wind the polished strings two together on the receiving-bobbins 11, the machine having twice the usual number of delivery bobbins 1 and guide pegs in the guide 5, and treating twice the usual number of strings. The polishing-rolls, Fig. VIII, consist of end disks 12, 13 and bars such as 14, 15 attached to angle-pieces 16 and obliquely arranged with respect to each other and to the axis of the disks; they rotate in a direction opposite to the travel of the twine, which is caused to make lateral oscillation on the rolls, grooving of the bars being thereby avoided. Protecting-plates 21, Figs. I and IX, which may be of sheet tin, are arranged over and between the polishing- rolls 6 to prevent dirt from being transferred to the polished portions of the twine. The twine is drawn through the usual tension apparatus and over a series of polishing-rolls 6, each of which has a comb-shaped guide 5 and a protecting-plate 21.

Title: Improvements in Electric Furnaces.

Filed: 1910-06-23
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 15,164. Thomson, J. Sept. 1, 1909, [Convention date]. Resistances for furnaces consist of interlocking elements pressed together, preferably fluted carbon plates, and may be self-supporting between end terminals or supported at intervals or completely at the sides or at the ends. Fig. 11 shows various forms of elements, those such as d' or d<11>, which nearly fit together, having the lowest resistance; tubes d<4>, rods d', or balls d<8> may be interposed between the elements, and the grooves or channels facilitate the escape of heat. The elements may be compressed by a spring e<7>, Fig. 2, acting on a graphite terminal or connector-bar e<2> through a sliding refractory block, the compression varying little with change of temperature. In the form shown in Fig. 2, two parallel resistances built up of staggered fluted blocks d are compressible independently, and can be tested to assist regnlation, by inserting carbon plugs connected to a voltmeter. Blocks of graphite backed with amorphous carbon act as terminals and are wider than adjacent resistance elements, as shown at d<1>, to ensure effective contact. In a modification, four resistances with tapering terminals form a square, and are compressed by resilient bands which enclose a casing and can be tightened as desired. Alternatively, adjacent resistances may be inclined arch-wise, and be compressed by the weight of .a graphite key-piece. In all cases, the faces of the terminals may be at such an angle that the elements are compressed uniformly, or more or less above than below. Specification 11,720/10 is referred to.
