Abstract: 352,992. Impregnating timber. PEASE & PARTNERS, Ltd., 20, Northgate, Darlington, and WILLIAMS, G. W., The Laurels, Eldon Bank, Eldon, Bishop Auckland, both in Co. Durham. April 10, 1930, No. 11443. [Class 140.] Timber is impregnated with a liquid such as creosote oil by circulating the liquid about the timber at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature above 100‹ C., and after the moisture has been forced from the wood, allowing the oil to cool to below 100‹ C. Preferably the process is operated in conjunction with a benzo.e plant, the oil used for carrying the benzole from the scrubbers being circulated abcut the timber after the benzole has been extracted therefrom and prior to its return to the scrubbers. The apparatus preferably comprises a metal tank E, Fig. 1, divided into horizontal compartments communicating with each other at alternate ends so that the oil circulates in a sinuous course. The oil is heated in the tank A, and is forced by a pump C into the.tank E. After circulating through the compartments of the tank E, the oil flows back to the tank A through a filter G. Cold oil is stored in an underground tank J whence it may be pumped into the tank A. For cooling the oil after impregnation, a perforated pipe N connected to a cold water supply may be arranged above the tank E. The cooled oil is discharged through the filter M to the tank J. The arrangement used in connection with a crude benzole distillation plant is shown in Fig. 5. The oil from the benzole still O passes through the valve D to the impregnating tank E, and thence through the filter G, valve F and pipe 5 to the cooler P. When the impregnation is complete and the oil in the tank E cooled, the valves D, F are shut, and the oil run off through the valve L to a storage tank. An alternative form of impregnating apparatus comprises a vertical tank U, Fig. 6, through which the oil is circulated, with an iron cage S in which the timber is placed, and which is adapted to be raised and lowered by tackle T.

Title: Improvements in the remote control of electric motors, more especially traction motors
IPC: H02P7/00
Filed: 1942-08-21
Abstract: 584,847. Reversing D.C. motors. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., DALE, S. H., and HICKLING, E. R. Aug. 21, 1942, No. 11789. [Class 38 (iii)] The source of D.C.-i.e., a generator or convertor - supplying a D.C. motor 16 is one which produces also an A.C. component used for operating a reversing switch 18-19 for the motor. Preferably the supply is from a vapour arc converter and is shown in the figure as taken from three-phase mains through the six-phase grid-controlled converter 1, and choke coil 3. At least one of the parallel suppressor circuits formed by choke coils 4-7 in series with condensers 8-11 and tuned to each of a number of A.C. components of the converter output can be de-tuned, e.g., by closure of a switch 12, thereby allowing A.C. of a particular frequency to pass through coils 20-21 and operate contactors 18-19 to reverse the motor series field 17 (or the armature). The contactors 18-19 are locked in either position by coils 23-24 responsive to the D.C. so that the contactors can be opened and closed only when the direct voltage has been reduced substantially to zero by grid control of the converter. There may be a rectifier between condenser 22 and coils 20-21 for operating the contactors by D.C. The motor drives a bogie and is supplied and controlled from a fixed point through lines 13 and collectors 14-15. The contactors 18-19 may be operable in only one direction by the A.C. and may require hand resetting. One source may supply two or more motors independently reversible by reversing switches made frequency selective-e.g., by filters-and with frequency-selective locking means responsive to the A.C.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of compounds containing phosphorus having insecticidal properties
Inventor: HARTLEY GILBERT SPENCER
IPC: C07F9/24
Filed: 1950-05-12
Abstract: The invention comprises compounds of the formula  <FORM:0688773/IV (b)/1> where R1 is an alkyl group, and the compound of the formula <FORM:0688773/IV (b)/2> wherein R1 is a methyl group.  These compounds are formed together with the other described products, in the processes of Specifications 631,549 and 652,981.  The invention also comprises a modification of the process of those Specifications to increase the proportion in the mixed reaction product of such compounds where R1 in either formula is an alkyl group generally by adjusting the proportions of reactants so that in the processes of those Specifications 2 n-molecular proportions of the anhydrous dialkyl amine (where n is between 1 and 2) are reacted with one molecular proportion of phosphorus oxychloride dissolved in an inert solvent and the product is reacted with 3-n/2 molecular proportions of water.  When using pyridine in the process of Specification 631,549, the proportion of the compounds of the above formula is also increased by prolonging the second stage, including the distillation, this result apparently being due to decomposition of the compounds of general formula <FORM:0688773/IV (b)/3> and <FORM:0688773/IV (b)/4> first formed.  Additionally, prolonged heating of the reaction mixture with acid and water gives increased yields of the compound (R12N)3PO and the compound I above, by disproportionation of (R12N)2PO.O(R12N)2PO.  The acid may be produced by the solution of tertiary amine hydrochloride in chloroform.  In the process of Specification 652,981, sufficient amine hydrochloride is obtained (after extraction with aqueous sodium hydroxide) by reaction of chloroform with the iron of the reaction vessel in the presence of the tertiary amine.  In the course of determining the constituents in the reaction mixture of Specifications 631,549 and 652,981, the mixture obtained, starting from radio-active phosphorus oxychloride was partitioned between carbon tetrachloride and water to effect separation.  The acid [(CH3)2N]2PO.OH was obtained during hydrolysis of <FORM:0688773/IV (b)/5> In examples the process of example (2) of Specification 652,981 is repeated but using (1) 36.5 g. dimethyl amine and 4.9 g. water, and (2) 34.3 g. dimethyl amine and 5.3 g. water.  The proportions of compounds I, II, III and IV in the products are then determined.
