Patent GB-240217-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with selecting mechanism for electrical signalling apparatus
IPC: H04M1/272
Filed: 1924-06-24
Abstract: 240,217. Relay Automatic Telephone Co., Ltd., Ward, F. M., and Finlay, W. T. June 24, 1924. Order apparatus. - A device for transmitting signals by closing one or more of a plurality of circuits simultaneously, and particularly applicable to automatic telephone systems, comprises means for first selecting the desired combination of circuits, and separate means for then completing the circuits so selected by bringing the signalling circuits into association with the signal-selecting means. Locking means are provided so that the signals cannot be transmitted until a separate operation such as the removal of a telephone receiver has first been performed, whilst the signal-transmitting member cannot be further operated and so interfere with an established connection until the whole apparatus has first been restored, for example, by hanging up the receiver. In the construction shown, a drum 2 provided with irregular slots correspond. ing to the various desired combinations of the springs S - - W is set by a knob 2a to anv one of 24 positions, the number of the position being displayed through a window in the casing 1, and the drum being held in a definite position by a spring 4 engaging a toothed wheel 2b. An arm 5a on a pivoted lever 5 normally engages a collar 3 on a spring-controlled spindle 6, causing a stud 7 to close contacts 8, 10, whilst the T-shaped lower end 6a of the spindle engages a circular hole 27b, Fig. 8, in a bridge member 27 on a slidable rod 29 and so prevents any movement of the latter. When the receiver is removed, arm 5a and spindle 6 descend, causing contacts 9, 10 to close, and the T-end moves clear of the bridge 27 so that by reason of the slot 27a, Fig. 8, the rod 29 is now free to slide. The chosen signal combination is transmitted by the depression of push 12, the sliding motion of rod 29 effecting through a wedge 13 and finger 14 a small rotary movement of a spring-controlled rock-shaft 15, so that springs S - - W are moved into engagement with the drum 2 and circuits are closed over such of these springs as are resting on metallic parts of the drum. Rod 29 also, through fingers 20, 23, causes a rotation of spindle 6 so that the T-end 6a drops into a groove 30, Fig. 10, in the rod 29 and on the release of the push 12, into a deeper part 30a of this groove, thus locking the rod 29 against further movement. The rod 6 is restored to normal bv the arm 5a engaging the collar 3 when the receiver is hung up. During the restoration, a tongue 18a on a spring 18 momentarily engages the end of spring 10 thus preventing the simultaneous engagement of springs 8, 9 and 10. The drum 2 may be locked during the depression of rod 29 by making one of the springs S - - W or stiffer material and causing it to engage depressions on the drum surface.

Abstract: 515,068. Electron oscillators. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., and LEVIN, N. May 23, 1938, No. 15342. [Class 39 (i)] An . electronic oscillator comprises means for generating a sharply defined beam of electrons, an apertured electrode system having a plurality of apertures, means for causing the beam to pass in succession through the apertures, and means for refocusing the beam in the plane of each aperture each time it passes through. Preferably, a flat beam is produced by cathode K and control electrode G, accelerating anode AA and focusing electrode S, all provided with the slots aligned with the cathode. The apertures in the subsequent electrodes are correspondingly slotted. In one form a single anode electrode SA, Fig. 2, has a number of apertures through which the beam is threaded by the combined influence of retarding electrodes PP, AP at cathode potential, and of oppositely-directed magnetic fields generated, for example, by oppositely-wound coils shielded from one another by soft iron dividing plates. The magnetic fields may be replaced by electrostatic focusing systems and the potentials of electrodes SA and PP, AP may be interchanged. In another form, separate apertured anodes SA1, SA2, SA3, Fig. 3, are arranged along the beam and electrostatic lens systems IT1, IT2, etc. focus the beam in each aperture. Long or short magnetic focusing coils may also be used ; inthe first case, the anodes are placed at successive foci, while in the second case the rotation of the image is compensated by rotating the apertures or by using two oppositely-wound coils. The electrodes SA1 &c. may be at cathode potential.
