Title: Improvements in or relating to the Elevating Mechanism of Heavy Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A27/24
Filed: 1911-03-20
Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 6954. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Home, J. March 20. Mountings.-Relates to elevating-gear for heavy guns, and consists in an arrangement whereby the elevation of two or more guns may be controlled from a single sighting station without their elevating-gears being interconnected. As shown diagrammatically in Fig. 2<a>, in connexion with two guns A, A<Î>, transverse shafts D<1>, D<1Î> are rotated respectively by pinions d<2>, d<2Î> driven by toothed arcs B<2>, B<2Î>, connected with the respective gun slides. Adjacent to each gun is an indicator D, D<Î>, of which the indicator D comprises a pointer d', Fig. 3, which is driven from the shaft D' of the gun A by a chain passing around sprocket-wheels d<3>, d<5>, and a disk d<Î>, with an index mark d<ÎÎ>, driven from the shaft D<1Î> bv a chain and sprocket-wheels d<3Î>, d<5Î>. The disk d and pointer d<1Î> of the indicator D<Î> are driven in a similar manner by sprocket-wheels d<4>, d<4Î> on the shafts D<1>, D<1Î>. The gun-layer in the sighting-station adjacent to the gun A, for example, controls the hydraulic elevating-motor of the gun A, and the elevation of that gun is recorded by the pointer d' of the indicator D, and by the disk d of the indicator D<Î>. It is then only necessary for the elevating number of the gun A<Î> to elevate his gun until the pointer d<1Î> of the indicator D<Î> again registers with the disk d. The disk d<Î> of the indicator D will simultaneously move into register with the pointer d'. The control handles of both elevating-motors may be located in the one sighting station, in which case the gun-layer in that station will elevate the distant gun until the pointer and disk of his indicator register. If the muzzlevelocities of the guns differ, the disk of each indicator is angularly-displaced by a differentialgear operated by a hand-wheel D<6> and wormgear D<5Î>, until a pointer D<6Î>, which is displaced simultaneously with the disk, moves to the desired range graduation on a plate D<7> which is graduated for the existing muzzlevelocity difference. Other plates D' are substituted for different muzzle-velocity differences. If there are three guns, three indicators each with three pointers may be employed, but preferably the indicator of the middle gun is omitted and each outer gun has two indicators one of which indicates the elevations of the middle gun and the near gun, and the other the elevations of the near gun and the outer gun. Two supplementary pointers D<2>, D<3>, of which D<2> is driven through reducing-gearing from the pointer d', and the other D<3> is on the disk d<Î>, are provided to indicate whether the pointer and disk have been relatively angularly displaced by more than a complete revolution.

Patent GB-191112326-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Barometers.
IPC: G01L7/24
Filed: 1911-05-22
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 12,326. Darwin, H., and Cambridge Scientific Instrument Co. May 22. Barometers.-With the object of obtaining a rapid and accurate reading of the height of a barometer column, the gauge piece D, the edge of which is brought to the top of the mercury, carries a rack E which gears with a pinion F, means being provided for indicating the motion of the pinion. To secure accuracy of working, the rack is provided with diagonal teeth, and, in order to prevent relative sideways motion of the rack and the pinion, the rack is provided with bearing-surfaces E<1> the normals to which meet on the line through the centre of the axis of the pinion at right-angles to this axis and parallel to the plane of the rack; any sideways motion of the rack therefore results in rotation about this line. The pinion is free to rotate about the same line, and is consequently carried round with the rack, with the result that relative side motion does not occur. The pinion is allowed this motion by forming at its centre a circumferential groove F', in which works a circular knife-edge bearing H<1> formed in a circular piece H attached to stiff springs J<1>, on the upper of which presses a grub screw K<1>, so that adjustment of this screw alters the pressure of the knife-edge bearing on the pinion. The pinion is prolonged to pass freely through holes G<6> in a guide G, and to one end is attached a graduated dial O which is viewed through a hole P<2> in a casing P, a strip Q having a fixed fiducial line being fixed to this casing. The reading on this dial gives the fractional parts of the usual scale on the tube B surrounding the barometer, the diameter of the pinion being preferably arranged so that one complete turn of the dial 0 corresponds to one of the small divisions on the main scale. In order to keep the ratio of the area of the mercury in the trough to that of the mercury in the tube constant for different instruments, the bottom of the mercury tube A is provided with a sleeve S of adjustable area dipping into the trough U. The preservation of this constancy enables the same scale to be used for different instruments.

Title: Improved Method of Beaming or Mounting Weft Pile Fbrics during the Cutting of the Piles thereof.
Inventor: ROGER GEORGE
IPC: D06C13/08
Filed: 1911-05-31
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 13,044. Roger, G. May 31. Pile, cutting.-For cutting the pile of weft pile fabrics, a length is mounted by bending the width in tubular or like fashion, so that lateral movement will bring pile races to the cutting position. One end portion of the apparatus consists of a standard a supporting a screw c carrying a block d with a conical part d<1>, and a nut e, which allows the block d to be both rotated and moved longitudinally. The screw also supports a board i having a tongue-shaped end and also supported at intervals by attachments l on standards k. The width of the cloth is next placed between two connected flexible members, which are then bent and fastened round the cylindrical part of the block d, forming a tube, or part of a tube, of fabric extending between the end portions, which are then moved to stretch the tube. The pile races are cut over the board i, the knife being moved over the width of the board, or the fabric turned by means of the screws c. The remainder of the fabric is supported on a rest n on adjustable standards, or is beamed or lapped at either end. Instead of a screw e. the block d may be mounted on a spindle and the standard a in guides and movable by a screw engaging a fixed bearing. The screw may be on a shaft crossing the frame and provided with oppositely threaded ends to move them simultaneously. This result may also be obtained by connected cords passing in opposite directions over pulleys at either end. The screw devices of a number of supports may be simultaneously operated by worms gearing with worm pinions on the screws. The block d instead of being circular may be hexagonal, in which case the knife preferably traverses each face in turn. Fig. 11 shows a modification in which the fabric m passes between the band w on rollers w<1>, and the flexible member r<3>, and is supported at the cutting point by a board i.
