Title: Improvements in Pulley Blocks.
Inventor: PEUSS FRANZ
IPC: B63B23/18
Filed: 1913-05-16
Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 11,467. Peuss, F. March 8, [Convention date]. Pulley-blocks and pulley-tackle.-A pulleyblock and tackle for raising and lowering lifeboats are so arranged that both ends of the rope are free to be drawn upon together or separately, and the rope is rove so that its centre lies around the middle sheave of the lower block while the halves of the rope pass in opposite directions around symmetrical pulleys in the lower block. The sheaves of the top block are arranged on three axes, the sheaves i, d being on a central axis while the sheaves b, c are disposed symmetrically about the axes of the central pair. The lower block contains three sheaves f, g, h. The rope is passed underneath the sheave c, over it, down around the sheave f, then up to sheave d, down to pulley g, up to sheave b, down to sheave h, and then up over the sheave i. The centre of the rope being beneath the sheave g, this sheave does not rotate when both ends are hauled upon together for raising the unloaded block; and the rope moving at equal speeds in opposite directions around the other two sheaves of the lower block, the tendency for the block to topple over is reduced to a minimum. In lowering a life-boat, the two halves are paid out one after the other, the load consequently moving at half its raising speed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Production of High Tension Discharges.
Inventor: WILSON WILLIAM HAMILTON
IPC: H03B11/06
Filed: 1913-06-13
Granted: 1914-06-15
Abstract: 13,755. Wilson, W. H. June 13. [Cognate Application, 20,937/13.] Wireless telegraphy; electric oscillations, producing.-In apparatus for producing hightension discharges, an oscillatory circuit is associated inductively with a transformer or its supply circuit so that the energy stored in the oscillatory circuit supplements the supply of energy from the prime source to the transformer. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the primary 2 of an iron-core high-tension transformer is supplied with current from a battery 3 in circuit with an interrupter 4 and the primary 5 of a " buffer " transformer, the secondary G of which forms an oscillatory circuit with the condenser 7, the natural frequency of the circuit being from 50 to 600 periods per second. When the interrupter 4 closes the circuit, the condenser is charged, and when it reaches its maximum charge, the interrupter opens the circuit. The condenser then oscillates freely and the interrupter 4 is timed to close the circuit when the condenser is charged for the first time in the opposite direction to its initial charge. The discharge of the condenser then produces an electromotive force in the primary 5, which assists that of the battery. The oscillatory current superposed on the primary circuit sometimes assists and sometimes opposes the battery current, and the interrupter should be timed to break the circuit when the resultant current is a minimum. The condenser 7 may be connected to the primary circuit by an autotransformer, instead of by a two-coil transformer. To vary the power supplied to wireless transmitters, the speed of the interrupter may be varied, or additional condensers may be brought in parallel with the condenser 7, thus altering the natural period of the oscillatory circuit relative to that of the interrupter, or a variable inductance may be inserted in the primary circuit. For exciting Rontgen-ray tubes, the inverse electromotive force may be reduced by providing an additional brush on the interrupter, which short-circuits the primary of the high-tension transformer at suitable intervals. The oscillatory circuit 6, 7 may be connected directly to the primary of the hightension transformer, or to a third winding on its core. In wireless telegraphy, signalling may be effected by closing a shunt circuit round the primary of the high-tension transformer when the transmitting-key is depressed. In known systems in which the charge or discharge of a condenser is used to supply a hightension transformer ' the condenser is associated with the supply circuit by means of a " buffer " transformer 5, 6, Fig. 10, the condenser 32 being in series with the high-tension winding 6 of the transformer, the low-tension winding 5 of which is connected to the primary of the supply transformer 36, 37.
