Title: An Instrument for Indicating Excessive Speed on Railway Curves
Inventor: HOOKHAM GEORGE
Filed: 1907-10-16
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 22,855. Hookham, G. Oct. 16. Speed indicators.-Apparatus for indicating excessive speed on railway curves consists of a pendulum a pivoted at f and forked at its lower end to carry on a spindle d a disk c and a pinion e, which gears with a rack q. The movements of the pendulum are damped by a second pendulum k pivoted at l to the main pendulum and forked at its lower end, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. A pin m on the pendulum a serves to operate hands p, which register the movements of the pendulum and indicate whether the safe speed for the curve has been exceeded. The pendulum k may be replaced by other damping-devices, and the movement of the pendulum may serve to operate electric alarms.

Patent GB-190821552-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Slide Rests.
Inventor: ROBINSON HUGH CECIL
Filed: 1908-10-12
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 21,552. Robinson, H. C. Oct. 12. Lathes.-Two harmonic motions, preferably at right-angles, are imposed on the tool carrier to produce Lissajous' figures-as profiles in turnery. The relative phase, frequency, and amplitude may be altered, and a portion of the figure only used. By using one harmonic motion only, a spiral may be produced the pitch of which varies harmonically. The tool-carrier a, Fig. 2, is mounted in a slideway in a saddle c integral with a block e, which receives an harmonic reciprocating motion through the medium of a toothed wheel s, Figs. 1 and 2, a slideway u attached to the wheels, a pin w, a slideblock x, a slotted frame z, and a bar 10. A similar motion at right-angles to this is obtained by means of a toothed wheel p, a rod n sliding freely through, but rotated by, the wheel, a part g fast with the rod n, a slideway h, Fig. 5, on the hub, and a pin j. The pin j connects a block i in the slideway h with a block in a slideway l, Fig. 4, fast with the tool carrier. The toothed wheels p, s are connected by - gearing q, r, and as shown in Fig. 2 they may be rotated by hand-operated worm-gearing. A pair of rolls 32 guide the reciprocating bar 10. The wheel p is attached by a nut 16 to a sleeve, through which the rod n, which is squared, slides, but at the same time rotary motion is conveyed to the rod from the sleeve. By unscrewing the nut 16, the wheel p is made loose for alteration of the phase-difference. To vary the frequencies, the wheels p, q are made as change-wheels and the end of the rod n is screwthreaded in the hub 18 of the part g. A Hooke's joint may connect the rod n and the hub 18. To move the tool-holder to operative position, a part 27, Fig. 4, on the holder is moved by collars 28 on a screw-threaded operating-shaft 26. A similar shaft 29 has a plain extension terminating in a stop 31 which can thus be set to limit the travel of the tool-holder. The tool may be replaced by a drawing-instrument.

Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 4772. Lay, C. H. Feb. 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Electrical systems, automatic.-In an automatic electric system in which track relays are used, the signaloperating circuit is connected through the armatures of the relays of any desired number of sections so that a train in any one section puts the signals of a number of sections in the rear to danger.' Each relay has a single contact on its armature. The arrangement shown iu Fig. 2 shows the signal S<1>, controlled by the armatures of relays r<1>, r<2>, r<3> of sections 1, 2, 3, in series with a battery or other source of energy B<1>; the return lead 34 completes the circuit. Thus a train on any section keeps the signal for the two sections in the rear at ' danger.'

Reversible seats.-In a folding go-car, perambulator, &c. having a seat back which may be reversed to enable the child to face forwards or backwards, the back is upholstered on one side and is pivoted at or near its centre to a pair of side links pivoted to the frame, so that it can be turned over to present its upholstered surface towards the seat in both positions. The side links extend beyond thoir pivots and are connected to the side members of an extensible reversible foot-rest. Fig. 1 shows the seat back a, which may be curved, pivoted to side links c which are hinged about the pivots of the cross-frames d, e. In one position the back a rests against the frames d, and studs on its edges engage the side links c ; in the other position, the ends g of the side members of the back enter grooves h in the seat stretcher i, and studs m bear against the links c. The links c are extended and bent inwards at n to enable them to be pivoted to side bars o of a foot-rest p, which can be turned over to rest on either of two cross-bars q, r on the frames. To enable the foot-rest to be extended outwards beyond the position enabling it to be swung over beneath the seat, the foot-rest p may be carried by arms s, Fig. 3, provided with pins t which slide in slots in the side bars o, depressions u being formed in the slots to engage the pins t when the foot-rest is extended. To prevent lateral displacement of the arm-rests v grooves are formed in their free ends to engage pins on the shaft e.
