Inventor: HEURTLEY ERNEST SYDNEY
IPC: H01H45/00
Filed: 1911-04-04
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 8397. Heurtley, E. S. April 4. Bismuth conductor in magnetic field; resistances, measuring. - Small mechanical or electrical effects, such as the currents received at the end of a submarine cable, are magnified by the use of conductors such as bismuth, the resistance of which changes when they are moved relatively to a magnetic field. Two bismuth conductors d, Fig. 1, may be connected with a moving coil a by fibres b as described in Specifications 17,555/09 and 13,337/10, and arranged so that movements of the coil cause one conductor to move out of, and the other to move into a magnetic field produced by permanent or electro-magnets j<1>, Fig. 2. The bismuth conductors are connected with a resistance bridge and a deflecting-instrument such as a siphon recorder, relay, or galvanometer, which may be shunted by an inductive or non- inductive resistance, and may be connected in series with a condenser. In a modified form. several coiled bismuth conductors d are attached to a pivoted plate h, Fig. 5. The mechanical effect of the local current in the bismuth conductor on the magnetic field may be balanced by suitably winding the bismuth conductor or a separate conductor connected with it mechanically or electrically. The bismuth conductor may be mechanically connected with a telephone diaphragm. The bismuth conductors may be cooled. A current from the local circuit may be used to control the main coil.

Filed: 1912-03-15
Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 6496. Girardelli, R. March 15, 1911. [Convention date]. Systems for controlling travel for a fixed distance or number of revolutions.-A motor for repeating angular movements is controlled by movement of its brushes effected by an auxiliary motor connected to the transmitter. The main transmission line has therefore to carry only the weak current for the auxiliary motor. The stator 1 of the main motor and the stator 28 of the auxiliary motor are secured in the casing 5. The rotor 27 of the auxiliary motor is secured to a loose sleeve 26 on the main motor shaft 9, and is connected by toothed gearing to a shaft 22, which passes through the rotor 2 of the main motor. The shaft 22 is geared to an insulating-sleeve 8, which carries the rotor brushes 10, 17 and a brush 19 in the return circuit. The rotor current, entering at terminal 3, passes through the collar 7, brush 10, rotor 2, brushes 17, 19, ring 13, and terminal 14. The transmitter may be of the form shown, in which contacts connected by resistances mav be rotated under three brushes. Current impulses are thereby transmitted to the auxiliary motor, which rotates and shifts the brushes 10, 17 of the rotor 2, which then begins to rotate. As the rotor rotates, carrying with it the shaft 22, the gearing causes the brushes to be returned to their initial position of no torque, when the motor stops. The ring 13 may be provided with resistances and contacts for reducing the current when the motor stops.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Fluid Meters.
Inventor: EARL GEORGE GOODELL
IPC: G01F7/00
Filed: 1912-04-10
Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 8492. Earl, G. G., and Wood, A. B. April 10. Liquid - meters.-Comprises improvements in meters of the type wherein the normal flow is measured by a direct-reading meter, and the abnormal flow by a proportional meter. The box 13, Fig. 4, containing the change-over valve, is connected to the water main at 15, 16. The valve 20 has its stem 22 connected to a link 24, which is pivoted within the chamber on a pipe 29, Figs. 4 and 7, which passes transversely through the chamber. A hollow sleeve 31 fastened to the lever 24 is mounted on the pipe 29, which is divided by a partition 32. Both the pipe and sleeve have a number of openings 33, 34 on each side of the partition, so that the openings on each side of the partition register alternately as the sleeve is turned. When the normal flow is passing through the system, the valve 20 is closed, and water passes by the duct 40 to the direct-reading meter, and thence through the openings 33, 35 to the discharge orifice 16. When there is an abnormal demand, the pressure in the box 31 falls, so that the force acting on the piston 48 and tending to keep the valve 20 shut is decreased, and the valve 20 opens. The movement of the lever 24 closes the openings 33, 35, thus cutting out the direct-reading meter, and opens the openings 34 to an amount proportional to the opening of the valve, so that the water flowing through the duct 40 and the proportional meter will be a definite fraction of that flowing through the valve 20. The turning-moment tending to keep the valve 20 closed decreases as the valve opens, owing to the decreased distance of the rod 47 from the pivot of the lever 24. A modification is described in which the pressure at the mouth of the duct 40 is increased by enlarging the diameter of the main at that point, and in which the valve 20 can be moved completely out of the path of the water.
