Abstract: 26,950. Wilson, L. Dec. 27. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Elastic-fluid turbines.-A gas turbine provided with means for preventing overheating of the parts is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The casing E and other fixed parts of the turbine are made double-walled so that water, air, or other cooling- medium can be circulated through them. By means of connexions, air can be forced in to blow out the cooling-water when required. The rotary parts are cooled by circulating the cool ing-medium through the bollow shaft A and passages in the wheels B a n d blades C. The shaft may be hollow with a separating-partition, the cooling- medium entering at one end and after circulating through the wheels and blades passing out at the other end, or the medium instead of passing out through the shaft may escape through apertures H<4>, Fig. 1<a>, in the rim of the last wheel. The apertures may be more or less covered by a solid or hollow cooled ring valve H. The inlet and outlet passages for the cooling-medium are arranged so that a rotative effect is produced by the motion of the cooling-medium. The blades C, Fig. 4, are made of iron or steel tubes of circular, flat-sided, or oval cross-section, bolted to the rings B<1> of the wheels B, and the U-shaped rims are then closed by shrunk-on rings D. The rings may have inwardly-projecting parts adapted to grip the ends of the blades. The turbine is reversible. The exhaust gases may be used to drive an auxiliary turbine. The steam or hot air generated from the cooling-medium may be used in the auxiliary turbine. Specifications No. 23,872, A.D. 1903, and No. 236, A.D. 1905, are referred to.

Title: Improvements in Electrolytic Interrupters and Method of Operating same.
Inventor: BESSER HERMAN
Filed: 1906-04-02
Granted: 1906-11-22
Abstract: 7915. Besser, H., and Cobe, I. April 2. Converting alternating and direct currents; switches. -An electrolytic interrupter for circuits including induction coils is provided with adjustable electrodes, one of which is in contact with mercury in the vessel. An insulating jar b is supported in a casing a which contains water. The jar b has a detachable cover c, which supports an insulating tube d and a metal plug k. The top of the tube d has an internal screw-thread, which engages the thread on a rod e. This rod carries the terminal f and the negative electrode h, of copper or other suitable material, which touches a layer of mercury j. A cap m with an annular groove n is secured to the plug k, and a disk o with a screw p working in the groove n rotates on the cap. The disk o engages the thread on the rod q in the porcelain tube l, and so raises or lowers the rod, which carries a platinum tip r to act as the positive electrode. A bent metal tube u is secured to the. plug k, and passes downwards through the cover c, to provide a passage if a portion of the electrolyte i should creep up inside the tube l. The opening in the cover through which the tube u passes is made large enough to allow gas to escape. The tubes containing the electrodes have the same diameter where they pass through the cover, so as to be interchangeable. The electrodes may be made in any of the shapes shown in Fig, 2. The electrolyte consists of one part of sulphuric acid to eight of water, and the mercury is gradually converted to a sub-sulphate and needs replenishing. A constant current of low tension can be changed into an oscillating current of high tension, and an alternating current into an oscillating direct current. The interrupter can be used in connexion with Finsen light, R÷ntgen rays, the manufacture of ozone, radiagraphic uses, welding, fusing, producing Hertzian waves, wireless telegraphy, &c.

Moulding phonograph records.-Cylindrical records and record blanks are moulded by centrifugal force, the rotary motion being obtained by frictional contact with the driving-disk. On a vertical shaft a' is secured a disk a<4> so that its rim a<5> frictionally imparts rotation to a ring c<9> of rubber on one of a number of vertical moulds c' within carriers c<2>. Below the disk a' and on the same shaft is another disk b, or it may be a number of radial a r m s, having arranged at the periphery a series of slots b<2> corresponding in number to that of the moulds employed. The disk b also carries the same number of teeth b<3>, which are adapted to be engaged by a pawl f<5> carried on an horizontally-operable arm f to enable fresh mouldcarriers to be brought to the filling position. In each of the slots b<2>, a bracket b<4> supporting the mould-carrier, can be made to slide by a cam-lever b<9> and spring b<11>, whereby the mouldcarrier is brought into contact with the driving- disk and rotated. The mould-carrier c<2> firmly holds the mould c<3> by a cap c<5> attached by a bayonet-joint to the lower portion c<2>, a spring washer c<6>, and a plate c'. The wax, heated in a container e<2> by applying heat between the walls e<2>, e, passes through a hole d<5> into the measuring-devices d<2> in the container, and through a hole d<4> and nozzle d into the rotating mould.
