[Also in Division G5] A toy gramophone device comprises a wheeled vehicle 6 carrying a sound reproducing device cooperating with a stationary record track 3 along the vehicle track. The record 3 preferably has a record track on opposite faces and is interchangeable with other records although it may be fixed. The vehicle (Fig. 4) includes a sound box 16 and cone 15 mounted by studs on a lug 20 to pivot veritically, and a tone arm 31 horizontally pivoted about a rod 29 and having a portion 33 which bears against the cone apex P for all lateral positions of the tone arm. A spring 38, anchored to a weight 39, urges the assembly downwards and a spring 30 biases the tone arm laterally so as to return it to the edge of the record 3 when the vehicle is lifted. The latter is achieved by moving a lever 44 (Fig. 1) so that the end 46 causes the outside wheels of the vehicle to lift. The stylus may be disengaged from the record by lifting a lug 23 upwards and laterally in an L-shaped slot 24 to allow silent operation of the toy.

Title: Digital data network interface for datel subscribers

Filed: 1971-10-04
Abstract: 1400148 Automatic exchange systems STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd 28 Sept 1972 [4 Oct 1971] 45994/71 Heading H4K An interface arrangement between two dissimilar networks includes means for scanning circuits incoming from a first of the networks which comprises a circuit selector operated in conjunction with a counter, and means for counting signalling impulses and the intervals therebetween comprising a gate responsive to outputs from the circuit selector and the counter whereby predetermined call establishment signals received from said first network are recognized and are converted into a form suitable for use in the second network. The arrangement is used in an interface exchange 10 (Fig. 1) between a telephone network 11 and a data network and is specifically used to enable Datel subscribers on the telephone network to establish connections to subscribers, e.g. computer bureaux on the data network. Referring to Fig. 1 (two-figure references) and Fig. 3 (four-figure references) the interface is associated with a toll centre 1000 which is accessible from local junctors 1001 and national and international trunks 1002-1005. A Datel subscriber requiring a data network subscriber dials a special three digit exhcange code prefixed by an appropriate national or international code to gain access to a signalling terminal 1009 via an auto-auto repeater 1007 and a special group of junction circuits 1008, which are scanned by a circuit 1010 under the control of a counter. The calling subscriber then dials a four digit number the digits and interdigital pauses of which are counted and compared with a 12 bit word supplied by the core store of a processor 1012, 16. A non-decimal code supplied by the processor to a data signalling terminal 1020, 18 for transmission over a special signalling channel 17 to a processor 14 of a first data exchange 12 and thence if necessary to other data exchanges, e.g. 13 over further special signalling channels. Answer signals received from the data subscriber enable a modem 1027 appropriate to the transmission speed to be selected and answer frequency and echo suppressor control frequencies are transmitted back to the Datel subscriber from a data answer set positioned between the modem 1027 and the modem access switch unit 1026. Only two of the four digits may be translated at the interface to give the identity of the required data exchange, the remaining digits being transmitted in a non-decimal code to the appropriate data exchange for translation. Such a numbering arrangement allows traffic for particular data exchanges to be concentrated at the interface. Call charging.-Subscribers on the telephone network are only charged for a call as far as the interface exchange and the data subscribers are expected to pay for the data network part of the call, e.g. by paying a rental charge for their access number from the telephone network. Data subscribers may arrange to be accessible via more than one interface exchange by renting numbers at the appropriate interfaces.

Abstract: 1508137 Change-speed gearing AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS Ltd 23 Oct 1975 [24 Oct 1974] 46120/74 Heading F2D A variable-speed bevel planetary transmission unit is constructed such that an output gear is positioned intermediate the ends of the unit to enable final drive shafts of equal length to be used when the unit is mounted transversely in a vehicle below the engine. The transmission input shaft 16, driven from a torque converter through a chain and sprockets 13, 17, is connectible by a fluid-actuated clutch 19 with a bevel gear 36 and by a fluid-actuated clutch 24 at its other end with a bevel gear 37. These bevel gears mesh with one element 33 of a planetary cluster the other element 34 of which meshes with an output bevel gear 38 coupled to the output gear 40 through a sleeve 39 and with a bevel gear 49 controlled by a brake 51. Further brakes 52, 53 control the planet carrier 32 and the bevel gear 37. Also mounted on the sleeve 39 are a toothed parking brake wheel 47, a speedometer drive gear 48, and a governor (not shown) for controlling automatic ratio shifts. Low ratio drive through the gears 36, 33, 34, 38 is established when the clutch 19 is engaged, the carrier 32 being held by a one-way clutch 54. Other friction devices, in addition to the clutch 19 are engaged to establish the other forward ratios as follows. The brakes 51, 53 hold the gears 49, 37 for, respectively, second and third and the clutch 24 locks up the planetary train for direct top. Engagement of the clutch 24 with the brake 52 establishes reverse ratio. The gear 49 may be omitted if only three forward ratios are required.

The system is preferably used for monitoring the discharge of water ballast from an oil tanker and is arranged so that the alarm system opens a valve to a slop tank and then shuts the sea discharge valve. In the sensing arrangement shown, light from mercury ore vapour U.V. source 80 is reflected from mirror 90 through window 92 on to three  water jets 39. Fluorescent radiation from oil in the water passes window 96 and is received by nine-stage photo-multiplier 82. A U.V. blocking filter is positioned between window 96 and photomultiplier 82 to remove reflected U.V. A ducted air supply reduces condensation on windows 92 and 96. Partition 66 with windows 68, 70 separates the "safe" and "hazardous" sides of the panel. A large electro-pneumatic circuit, into which the monitor arrangement is incorporated is described, as are methods of setting the alarm to the desired sensitivity.

A head for applying " crown " -type closures to bottles comprises a casing 3, a compound plunger consisting of two parts 1 and 2 respectively urged downwardly by springs 6 and 7, and a stepped closing ring 4 held in position by an open-ended retaining member 5. The plunger 1 has an axial vacuum duct 1B. whereby a crown-type closure A is retained in a pre-application position in the head. In operation, either the head or the bottle may be indexed one relative to the other to apply the closure to the bottle mouth. The spring 7 being of less tension than the spring 8 allows the plunger 2 to be forced upwardly, the closure thus taking a slightly concave shape, thereby allowing it to be more easily forced over the head C of the bottle. By continued relative movement the bottle, with the closure, is forced into the smaller bore of the closing ring 4, thus completing the closure application.
