Title: Improvement in Art of Producing Alloyed Steels.
Inventor: CHURCHWARD JAMES
Filed: 1908-06-09
Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 12,383. Churchward, J. Sept. 18, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 19071]. Nickel-chromium-manganese steel.-Steel alloys are prepared by melting the component metals at a temperature of 3100-3600‹ F., and maintaining the metal bath at its maximum temperature for a period of from 15 to 60 minutes. A nickelchromium-manganese steel may be prepared by first charging a furnace with Bessemer pig, nickel skulls, shavings, or turnings, and a flux, and heating to 3100-3600‹ F. After a short time, manganese may be added to cleanse the bath, and a final addition of nickel to make up the required percentage. The metal is then heated at its maximum temperature for a period depending on that temperature, after which chromium is added with some manganese. After another period, and during a state of rest, the metal is tapped from the furnace into a ladle. The process is also stated to be particularly applicable to the formation of steel alloys containing nickel, chromium, and manganese, with vanadium or tungsten, or both, but when vanadium is used this addition is only made in the ladle.

The lever carries a pin z, adapted to engage a hole v in the hub 2 when the clutch is disengaged, and a lateral inclined arm x engaging a slot y in a disk 14. When the disk is moved longitudinally, the lever 4 is rotated and the blocks 7, 8 grip a rim 10 on the part 3. A weight g is provided to balance the effect of centrifugal force. The levers 4 may be pressed outwards or inwards by springs 11, Fig. 5, and are moved in the opposite direction by slots in the longitudinally-movable disk engaging adjustable or fixed conical pins 13 on the lever ends. The pivot pins of the blocks 7, 8 may engage inclined slots 17, Fig. 8, in the lever 4. More than one set of levers and blocks may be used. The inner blocks 7 may be dispensed with, Fig. 9, the levers being pivoted on the hub 2. The blocks 8<a> nearly completely surround the rim 10 and are separated by springs 11<b>. Two levers 4 may be pivoted to one block 8 and connected by a band spring 11<a>, Fig. 7.

Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 23,316. Garsed, J. L. Nov. 2. Aeroplanes; steering; balancing &c.-To permit of the adjustment of the effective area and the position of the surfaces (mployed for supporting, steering, propelling, or balancing aerial machines, they comprise a main plane, with or without an aperture, and a secondary plane mounted to slide relatively to the main plane. The main plane 2 is mounted on a frame 1 upon which the secondary plane 4 is adapted to slide, so that by operating cords 5 the plane 4 can be moved to either side of the plane 2 thereby adjusting the position and the area of the effective surface. The relative sizes of the planes may, however, be such that the aperture 3 may be opened without the plane 4 extending beyond the plane 2. When a series of planes is employed, the secondary planes 4 may be connected with a single hand-lever or the like for simultaneous adjustment, the movement of some being the reverse to that of others. A rudder may be connected to the plane 4 by wires &c. so as to be actuated simultaneously therewith for steering and balancing.

In this movement, the struts D become erect and lift the frame C and wheels C' until the slides are alined. Horizontal guides a<2> on the carriage A guide rollers C<4> on the frame C during the rearward movement to assist the alinement. The frame C is pivoted at its front end to a longitudinal pin C<5> on the front axle so that the carriage may be used on uneven ground. Inclined platforms C<2Î> are provided for the rear wheels C<2>.
