Abstract: 20,824. Woerner, L. C. Sept. 19. Micrometer gauges ; calculating - apparatus.- A micrometer screw gauge, adapted to give results in one system of measures, is provided with additional scales whereby readings may be taken in another system. The smallest divisions of the scale i are fortieths of an inch and represent the pitch of the screw ; these are each divided into twenty - fifths by means of the usual micrometer head k. A second scale c has larger divisions, such as millimetres, and at the upper end of the screw head are marked the points b which coincide with the zero line, as determined by the edge h, when the screw is turned back through successive millimetres. As each millimetre represents more than one revolution of the screw, an adjustable sleeve f is mounted thereon and bears a scale of angular extent equal to the rotation of one millimetre, whereby hundredths of a millimetre may be read. In setting the gauge, the required division on the scale f is brought to the nearest millimetre division on the scale b ; the screw is then turned until these two divisions are making the correct passage past the edge h as determined by the millimetre scale c.

Abstract: 12,263. Shone, I., and Ault, E. June 5. Ventilating. - T h e contaminated air from pneumatic e j e c t o r s, such as those used in Shone's drainage system, is passed through an expansion vessel to reduce the velocity, and is subsequently filtered. The ejectors are connected by means of a pipe D, Figs. 1 and 2, with a manhole E, into which sewers deliver both sewage and air. The impure air from the ejectors is carried to the vessel G by the pipe F and is exhausted into the man-hole E through the pipe U. This exhaust air together with the air from the sewers is drawn by a fan I into the pipe H, and passes along the pipe J to the space below the grating K. During its passage through the filter, it is washed by water from the spray L, and finally escapes by a pipe M and a ventilating - shaft N into the atmosphere. The water from the spray-producers drains away through a gully trap 0 in the separate manhole P. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the filter is divided into two parts by a wall V. Contaminated air from the sewers is forced by the fan, through the larger part of the grate K and escapes at the top. The exhaust air from the ejectors, after passing through the expansion vessel G, is led along by the pipe U to the smaller part of the grate. The water from this part flows through the trap X, which has a flap valve Y closed by the excess of air pressure caused by the exhaust from the expansion vessel.
