Abstract: 12,926. Belliss & Morcom, and Walsh, J. M. June 1. Centrifugal governors; fluid relays.-The muff a is connected by a lever c, a nut d and a screwed rod e to the valve-lever f or r of the relay, either directly as shown in Fig. 1, or through a lever and link v, f', Fig. 3, the valve levers being pivoted eccentrically to the levers i<1> connecting the relay piston k with the engine throttle. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, a spring m is interposed between the levers i' and c so that the load on the governor varies with the position of the piston k and the throttle, whereas in the apparatus shown in Fig. 3, the lever i<1> is connected resiliently with a lever t on the spindle u of which the pivot for the lever f' is eccentrically mounted, so that a movement of the piston k adjusts the valve-lever r to a small extent independently of the governor b. A cross-head n between the two parts of the spring m, and the bottom end of the lever t, are connected to dash-pot pistons. Specification 20,547/11 is referred to.

Abstract: 5919. Popow, W. March 9. [Addition to 11,509/13.] Balances. - The weight-checking apparatus described in the parent Specification is modified by securing to the framework at each side of the beam two bars 5 which form a support for adjustable weights 10<a>, 10<b>. One of the bars is graduated from a central zero as shown, and the weights 10", 10<b>, respectively, are lifted by the beam if the weight of the goods in the pan 9 diverges from the standard weight in the pan 8 by an amount greater than that for which the weights 10<a>, 10<b> are.set upon the graduated bar. The weights 10<a>, 10<b> may be either equal in weight or different. By adjusting the weights on the bars 5 until the beam just fails to lift one of the weights, the actual difference in weight between the weights in the pans may be read off on the graduated scale.
