Title: Improvements in the Production of Weaving Diagrams and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: SZCZEPANIK JAN
Filed: 1902-07-02
Granted: 1902-12-04
Abstract: 14,798. Szczepanik, J. July 2. Producing weaving-diagrams; printing. -In obtaining weaving diagrams by photographic means, one kind only of "squared screen or grating is used, instead of the large number at present employed. A negative picture of the model, distorted both in length and breadth in the requisite proportion, is obtained by photographing the model placed at a suitable angle to the optic axis of the leus, and again photographing the resulting negative inclined at the same angle as the model but towards the opposite side. From this negative are produced a series of part diapositives equal in number to the different kinds of threadcrossings required in the figure, and also a complete diapositive for the ground. In the preparation of any one diapositive, the parts of the negative required to be reproduced are coated with a colour which can be washed off to allow the negative to be used for all the diapositives. In a case, for instance, in which the model represents a flower 1, with leaves 2, and a petiole 3, upon a smooth background, then, if each of these four parts is to made by a special kind of thread-crossing, three part diapositives, Figs. 6, 7, and 8, for the flower, leaves, and petiole, respectively, and one complete diapositive, Fig. 9, for the ground, are made. In the process of preparing the weaving diagrams, one of the part diapositives may be placed in correct register with the negative, and then inserted in a photographic apparatus with a corresponding thread-crossing plate. An apparatus or copying- frame for use in making the diapositives and designs comprises a frame a having one or two hinged flaps d provided with springsf which press against the plates b, serving as the negatives or diapositives. Adjacent edges of the plates rest upon abutments n, against which they are pressed by means of handles q, k, respectively, connected to springs p and laterally-movable bars i, provided with springs o. In a modification of the process, the diagram is made from the diapositive, Fig. 9, as many complete negatives being obtained as there are different thread-crossings required. In each of the negatives thus prepared, all parts are not to be represented in the diagram, for the time being, are coated with paint.

Patent GB-190307293-A (GB)
Title: Method of Regulation for Alternate Current Electrical Machines.
Inventor: WINTER GABRIEL
Filed: 1903-03-28
Granted: 1904-03-28
Abstract: 7293. Winter, G., and Eichberg, F. March 28. Dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling.-Relates to a system of regulation particularly for arrangements described in Specification No. 23,288, A.D. 1902, but also applicable generally to alternators having their exciting - windings in a separate circuit, in which the speed of the rotor varies in the same sense as the voltage in the exciting-circuit, instead of, as usual, in the opposite sense. This result is obtained by drawing the exciting-current from one or more series transformers in circuits carrying the main current, and varying the ratio of the secondary of this transformer &c. to the primary to vary the voltage of the exciting-current and also the impedance of the circuit. In one arrangement, shown in Fig. 1, applied to a single-phase motor, the exciting-current in the field winding 2 is derived from the variable secondary of the transformer 3 in series across the supply mains with the winding 1 in which the active counter electromotive force is produced. The motor is stopped when the winding 2 is short-circuited, and is run up in speed as the terminal 6 is moved over the transformer terminals 7, 8, 9, 10. A reverser 4 is connected to the terminals 5, 6. In a second case, the transformer secondary is not variable, the variable current through the winding 2 being produced by varying the resistance in its circuit or by shunting the winding 2 by resistances. These arrangements are applicable when the motor is to be braked by short-circuiting the winding 1, or when the motor is run with the winding 1 shortcircuited and a low-pressure winding 11 connected to corresponding low-pressure mains. When several motors are to be controlled, the exciting- windings may be connected in series or parallel. The exciting-voltage may also be derived partly from a winding in parallel to the winding 1 and on either side of the transformer 3, or wholly or partially from the variable secondary of a transformer 13, Figs. 6 and 9, in the circuit of the lowpressure winding 11. In the case shown in Fig. 6, the independent field winding 2, Fig. 9, is dispensed with, and in the other case the winding 11 is shown deriving its voltage from a transformer 14 connected across the mains. The windings 1, 11 may be connected in series, the independent field winding 2 and transformer 3 being as shown in Fig. 1, or the field being produced by the combination of the rotor windings 1, 11 as shown in Fig. 11. An induction regulator or an auto-transformer may be employed instead of the transformer 3 in the first of these two cases, a reversing-switch being un necessary when the regulator is employed. Fig. 14 illustrates the regulation by means of resistances W.
