Abstract: 1388202 Welding by fusion COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE 3 March 1972 10166/72 Heading B3R [Also in Division H1] When making a weld by means of an electron beam which oscillates along the weld line, different rates of heating are required at different points in the oscillation cycle wherein the different stages of the weld occur, such as initial heating, maintaining the material in a molten state, and slow cooling to allow proper crystallization; this is achieved by modulating the oscillation speed, the beam intensity, or the current supplied to the focusing coil, in synchronism with the basic oscillation frequency or a mulitple thereof. In one example at a welding speed of 20 metres/minute the longitudinal oscillation has an amplitude of 5 mm. and a period of À54 milliseconds, and the beam is also oscillated transversely at 10 times the frequency of the longitudinal oscillation, the amplitude of the transverse oscillation varying at the longitudinal oscillation frequency. The waveform controlling the beam intensity comprises a rising portion lasting À05 to 1 milliseconds, a linear falling portion lasting 0À1 to 0À14 milliseconds, and a final exponential falling portion lasting about 0À3 milliseconds. The electron gun may be either symmetrical or asymmetrical.

Abstract: 238,922. McKay, F. April 28, 1924. Relay type-lever actions for type-printing telegraphs. Type-bar levers 63, Fig. 5, co-operating with the selector members a<1> - e<1>, are guided by a comb 98 supported from pivoted arms 106 which are held by springs 109 against cams 107 on a cross-shaft 108 driven through gearing 113, 114, Fig. 1, from an intermittently-rotated shaft 112. Upon rotation of the shaft 108 the cams 107 release the arms 106 and enable the springs 109 to lift the comb 98, thus allowing the selected lever 63 to move upwards, and causing the engagement with a notch 99 on the lever of a tooth 101 on a pivoted bail 100. The bail carries an arm 104 which is retained by a spring-controlled detent 105 against the action of a spring 103 until a pin 110 on the shaft 108 trips the decent and allows the spring 103 to turn the bail on its pivot to operate the selected lever 63 for printing the character. An arm 111 on the shaft 108 then engages the arm 104 to return the bail to its normal position, and a cam 116 on the shaft 112 operates a bar 62 to restore the selector members a<1> - - e<1> to normal position. Driving-mechanism.-The shaft 112 is adapted to be clutched periodically to a motor-driven shaft C and to be declutched automatically upon completing a revolution.
