Title: Method for the production of composite fibres of glass or like heat-softenable material
Inventor: WHITEHUST HARRY BERNARD
IPC: C03B37/023
Filed: 1963-01-16
Abstract: <PICT:0975389/C1/1> <PICT:0975389/C1/2> <PICT:0975389/C1/3> In the manufacture of a composite fibre, a thin stream of molten glass or like heat-softened material is continuously flowed from a supply and a solid linear body of a second heat softenable material is introduced and continuously advanced into the stream of molten glass so that the second material extends as a continuous core interiorly of the stream, the composite fibre so formed then being cooled.  As shown in Fig. 3, a plurality of fibres 24 are drawn from a tank 20 of molten glass through tips 22 giving cones 32 of the molten glass into each of which a rod 27, of metal wire or foil or of vitreous material which may be coated with another material, is fed.  Each rod 27 is protected from the heat of the glass in the tank by an enclosure 28 of refractory material and is directed to the centre of cone 32 by guides 29, 30. The composite fibres 24 may be collected on a collet which may further attenuate the fibres, or they may be attenuated by a gaseous blast or by centrifuging.  As shown in Fig. 5, a rod 100 drawn from molten glass in a tank 109 is coated by metal, metal oxide or vitreous material by an applicator 113 and passed by rollers 115 into the cone 101 of molten glass of a fibre being drawn from a tank 104.  The composite fibre is then sized at 106 and collected on a collet 108.  Multiple composite fibres as shown in Fig. 7 may be formed by passing a rod 117 coated at 118 into a fibre forming cone to give layer 119, then passing such rod into two further forming cones to give layers 120 and 122 with a coating layer 121 applied between.  A fibre with glass-metal-glass layers may be used directly as a resistance thermometer and with further glass-metal-glass layers as an integral multiple plate electrical condenser or a shielded insulated conductor to transmit an electrical signal.

Title: Improvements in or relating to range-finding measurements
IPC: G01C3/14
Filed: 1932-01-22
Abstract: 379,969. Range-finders. COOKE, TROUGHTON, & SIMMS, Ltd. and TAYLOR, E. W., Buckingham Works, York. Jan. 22, 1932, No. 2078. [Class 97 (i).] The range-difference of two objects is determined from the optical modifications necessary to make their images viewed stereoscopically appear to lie independently and successively at the same distance as the apparent distance of a ranging mark in the instrument employed. As shown, the instrument comprises the prisms 1, 2, the objectives 3, 4, the roofprisms 5, 6, the eyepieces 11, 13 and 12, 14, and the reticules 7, 8 carrying measuring marks 9, 10. The prisms 15, 16 are revoluble in opposite directions by a shaft 17, which is geared to the shaft 21, the other end of which carries a bevel gear 22 which may be engaged with a gear 23 rotatable by a ranging head 24. A cam 25 on the shaft 21 coacts with the lever 26 sliding on the pivoted block 30 to displace the roller 27 from a position under the pivot 28 of the lever 29 proportionally to the ratio of the parallactic angle to the range of one of the sighted objects. The prisms 32, 33 between the prism 1 and the objective 3 are rotated in opposite directions by the shaft 34, operated from the rangedifference head 42 on the spindle 41 by the gears 40, 39, 37, 36, until the stereoscopic image of the second object appears at the same distance as the marks 9, 10. A proportional movement is imparted to the member 47 and hence the roller 27, by means of the co-operation of the cam 43 on the spindle 38 with the lever 44 engaging the member 47. The gear 40 is mounted on a spindle 41 keyed into the end of the spindle 52, while the member 59 is fixed and a spring 55 presses against a collar 56 on the spindle 52. A key 58 on the spindle 52 cooperates in one position with a recess 57. The gear 23 and the head 24 are mounted on a sleeve free on the spindle 52, but constrained to follow its axial movements by being confined between the head 42 and a collar 60, so that the objects cannot be ranged until the mechanism for obtaining the range-difference is at neutral. The free end on the lever 29 moves over a scale 50 graduated to give directly the required range-difference.

Systems for controlling reciprocating motion. -A motor A driving a planing-machine or the like is connected in series with the winding S<1> of a solenoid, and the motor rotates for the cutting stroke while the solenoid core P rises. When the core is near its top position, it raises the bridge contact H from the contacts G to break the holding-circuit of the main contactor C. In the uppermost position of the core, tha contact H bridges the contacts G<1> to complete the actuating-circuit of the dynamic brake contactor B. Before the core has time to fall after the break of circuit, the motor reversal has taken place, and the friction arm F is moved away from the contacts E, a repetition of the cycle being deferred until the next cutting stroke. The period for which the motor runs may be changed by varying the current strength or the length of stroke of the core P, or by dash-pot action.
