Patent GB-191207376-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Boring and Trimming Tubular Stereotype Plates.
IPC: B41D5/00
Filed: 1912-03-26
Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 7376. Linotype & Machinery, Ltd., Parker, T. R. G., and Bennison, W. E. March 26. Printing-surfaces.-Relates to machines for boring and trimming tubular stereotype plates of the kind in which the plate is placed in a rotating boring-cylinder, and consists in the provision of (1) means for arresting the longitudinally-moving ejector bar, which also serves for positioning the plate in the cylinder, in different positions for different lengths of plate, and (2) means for supporting the plate in its movement to and from the cylinder. (1) The plate is pushed into the cylinder 2 until it abuts against the ejector-bar 1, which can be positioned by the engagement of a spring detent 11 in one of the notches 3, 4, 5, formed in the edge of the bar. Fixed by a bolt-andslot connexion 14 to the bar 1 is a guard-plate 15 with notches 16, 17, 18 so spaced that, by sliding the plate, any two of the notches 3, 4, 5 can be covered. The bar 1 is moved by a hand-lever 8 mounted on a pivot 9, until the detent 11, under the pull of the spring 12, snaps into the unguarded notch in the bar. After the riser has been removed by a cutter 57, the detent 11 is disengaged by a handle 12 and the plate ejected by moving the bar 1 to the right by means of the handle 8. The detent 11 is held away from the bar during this ejecting movement by a spring catch 20, which is disengaged from the detent on the return of the bar 1 by a cam-surface formed thereon. (2) At the end of the cylinder where the plate is inserted, and after trimming, withdrawn, are arranged rollers 26, Figs. 1 and 5, of leather or other material which will not damage the face of the plate. These rollers are normally in alinement with the inside of the drum. On operating the handle 29 to throw in the clutch 28 to start the boring-cylinder, the rollers 26 are lowered to clear the riser by a bell-crank 39 and link 36 connected to the handle 29. The clutch is arranged on the main driving-shaft of the machine as shown in Fig. 5, instead of as heretofore on the shaft controlling the feed of the boring-tool, as shown in Fig. 1. In a modification, the rollers 26 are raised and lowered by a hand-lever or a treadle. Whether raised automatically or by hand, the rollers 26 can be driven to convey the detached riser out of the machine, by a pinion on the shaft thereof which, when the roller is lowered, engages a driven pinion. In a further modification, two pairs of rollers 26 are mounted on a carriage which slides to and fro to convey the plate to and from the cylinder.

Title: Improvements in Course Recorders.
Inventor: VILLIERS EDWARD CECIL
Filed: 1912-11-21
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 26,726. Villiers, E. C. Nov. 21. Course - recording apparatus.- Courses are plotted by the movements of a magnetic wheel 1 which is rotated at a speed proportional to the speed of the vessel and revolves about its vertical diameter by an amount equal to the rotation of the compass card. The wheel 1 is mounted on a traveller 2 which carries a pencil &c. 5 and can move on wheels over a traverser 3, which in turn is provided with wheels working in grooves 51 in the iron plate 4 to which the chart is secured. A magnet 6 attached to the revoluble plate 30 is mounted close to the wheel 1 and plate 4, which are thus strongly drawn together by the field set up by this magnet. The toothed periphery 11 of the wheel 1 is engaged by a worm 10 which can be connected to the shaft 16, either directly or through the gearing 13, by means of the clutches 14. A plate 17 secured to the shaft 16 carries iron rings 18 which engage rings 19 on the clutch 12 carrying an arm 23 having a groove 28 in which is secured the end of an arm 27 secured to the concentric plungers 26 of a solenoid 24 mounted on a grooved support 25. The windings of the clutch 12 and the left windings of the solenoid 24 are in parallel and are energized through contacts on the engine-shafting &c., and when the right windings of the solenoid are energized the clutch is de energized. The shaft 16 and the wheel 1 consequently receive a step-by-step movement proportional to the speed of the ship. The arm 27 is adjusted along the groove 28 according to the scale of the chart, and to the gearing, employed. The travel of the plunger 26 can be adjusted by the clamp 29 to allow for slip. A base-plate 30 revoluble about the centre of the traveller 2 has contact-members 32 around its periphery, alternate members being connected by contact-pieces 33. A graduated ring 34 is mounted on the traveller and mounted so as to be revoluble around this ring is a graduated rim 35 to which are attached a number of spring- contacts 36 at intervals of one degree. The rim 35 can be moved round to compensate for compass error. A reversible motor 38 rotates the base plate and the wheel 1 about the vertical axis and its brushes are adjusted by two solenoids 44, which are in circuit with the rings 33. The rim 71 of the compass card is indented at regular intervals at 72, and the indentations come into contact with levers 75 as the card rotates and cause the arms 77 to dip into the mercury bath 78. This allows current to pass through the bath to the terminals 80 which are in connexion with the terminals 36. The wheel 1 is thus given a rotation about the vertical axis equal to the rotation of the compass card. A station pointer 52 may be mounted on the traveller 2.
