Patent GB-190216823-A (GB)
Title: The Manufacture of New Aromatic Compounds and of Colouring Matters therefrom.
Inventor: RANSFORD ROBERT BOLTON
Filed: 1902-07-29
Granted: 1903-06-11
Abstract: 16,823. Ransford, R. B., [Cassella & Co., L.]. July 29. Alphylated amido p-oxydiphenylamine and its homolugues are produced by oxidizing together p-amidodiphenylamine and a phenol, or diphenylamine and a p-amidophenol, and then reducing the product. For example, p-phenylamido-p-oxydiphenylamine is produced by oxidizing p-amidodiphenylamine and phenol by means of sodium bichromate and acetic acid, and then rendering the mixture alkaline, heating it with sodium sulphide at 40‹-50‹ C. for some hours, and finally boiling it. On cooling, the new product crystallizes out. By substituting o-cresol and p-xylenol, respectively, for phenol in this process, p-phenylamidophenylp-oxytolyl- and -xylyl-amines are obtained. In another example, p-amidophenol and diphenylamine are employed. Dyes, artificial.-Fast bright-blue sulphur dyes are produced by heating the foregoing alphylamido-oxydialphylamines with polysulphides. Thus, a dye which yields a bright indigo-blue shade on unmordanted cotton results from the boiling of phenylamido-p-oxydiphenylamine with alcohol and sodium pentasulphide at a reflux condenser for 24 hours, and then distilling off the alcohol, dissolving the residue in water, and oxidizing it by a current of air, or the like. Alternatively, phenylamido-p-oxydiphenylamine is heated with sodium sulphide and sulphur to 140‹-150‹ C. for 2 to 3 hours, and the melt is introduced into salt water of 20 BÚ., which precipitates the dye. p-Phenylamidophenyl - p oxytolylamine yields a more reddish-blue dye.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Method and Apparatus for Making Cement.
Inventor: WENTZ ROBERT FILMORE
Filed: 1902-12-02
Granted: 1903-02-05
Abstract: 26,558. Wentz, R. F. Dec. 2. Cement furnaces or kilns; pulverulent-fuel fittings ; charges, cooling.-An inclined rotary kiln A' is mounted upon supporting and driving rolls in the usual manner. A feeding-apparatus is provided at the upper end B<1>, which communicates with the uptake flue or chimney C<1>. The kiln is heated by pulverulent fuel, which is stored in a hopper D and passes into the kiln through the nozzle 32. The materials are dried and heated in the upper part of the kiln, and are calcined at a very high temperature before they are discharged at the outlet 1. The discharged clinker passes into a cooling- chamber A, Figs. 1 and 2, where it traverses deflecting plates or cones 5, 6 directed alternately outwards and inwards. The deflectors 5 are carried by a central perforated tube C built up in sections, and the deflectors 6 are carried by flanges projecting from the walls of the chamber. Water is supplied through the pipe B, cocks 8, tubes 7, and perforated spraying-rings 9, and air is supplied from the fan c to the central tube C. The clinker is cooled by the combined effects of the air current and water spray, and passes out through a telescopic tube 51 to the surface of a rotary table 52, from which it is guided to the shoot 54 by a fixed scraping blade 53. The hot air and steam pass out through apertures 14 into an outer jacket 17, from which they issue by a pipe 30. By closing the annular hit-and-miss dampers 45 and opening external doors 46, the hot air and steam can be allowed to issue into the atmosphere instead of passing away by the pipe 30. From the pipe 30 the hot air and steam pass by the duct 31 to the interior of the kiln, where they are delivered in close proximity to the blast of air from the fan E which introduces the pulverulent fuel into the kiln. They may also be led to the fan E, and used to inject the fuel. To raise the temperature of the pulverized fuel before use, it is not merely injected into the kiln by means of hot air, but is caused to pass through or around a nest of tubes d, which are heated by air which enters at apertures 37, passes through channels 36, Fig. 5, formed in the firebricks of the furnace lining, and issues by a pipe 39. After heating the fuel, the air passes by a tube 40 to the fan E Hot air from the cooling- apparatus can be used for the same purpose.

Title: Multiple Connecting System for Telegraphic or Telephonic Communication.
Inventor: ARENDT OSKAR
Filed: 1904-10-24
Granted: 1905-06-29
Abstract: 22,908. Arendt, O. Oct. 24, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Telegraphs; telephone systems.-Relates to a system of telegraphic and telephonic communication in which, if n line-wires are employed, the number of independent circuits for communication which can be simultaneously established over them is n(n-1)/2, each line being available in combination with any other for communication without interference with other combinations. The line currents are in all cases of an alternating or undulating character. The system depends on the use of doubly-wound choking-coils in such a manner that all stray currents which would reach other combinations than the one required are choked by the impedance of the coils, whereas, by the passage of the line current in opposite directions through the windings of the choking-coils in the required circuit, the impedance is neutralized. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, three linewires 1, 2, 3 are employed, and the number of independent simultaneous conversations is consequently the same. One of the line-wires may be replaced by an earth-connection. The station I is able to converse with the station IV over the metallic circuit 1, 2 without interfering with a pair such as III, VI talking over the circuit 1. 3. The circuit I, IV comprises the receiver t<1>, induction coil i<1>, coil x<1> of the choking-coil b, line 1, coil x<2> of the choking-coilf, induction coil i<4>, and receiver t<4>, the current returning through the other coils x<1>, x<3> and the line 2 in such a direction as to produce no magnetization of the choking-coil cores and consequently no impedance. In the system shown in Fig. 3, three choking-coils a, b, c are arranged symmetrically with respect to the line-wires 1, 2, 3, and additional trebly-wound coils g, h, j are connected with them as shown. Corresponding points of equilibrium in the station instruments s<1>, s<2>, s<3>, such as the mid-points of the secondary windings of the induction coils, are connected together at the point z and thence preferably to earth. The coils g, h,j, or the coils a, b, c, may be omitted.
