Patent GB-860547-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to intercommunication telephone systems
Inventor: MILLETT MICHAEL
IPC: H04M9/00
Filed: 1957-03-20
Abstract: 860,547. Interconnection systems. MODERN TELEPHONES (GREAT BRITAIN) Ltd. April 3, 1958 [March 20, 1957], No. 9205/57. Class 40 (4). In an inter-connection system supplied with speech current from a common battery the supply to the home line of each station is made from one pole of the battery over an individual resistor. As shown in Fig. 1, a battery 12 supplies stations 1 to 4 over a common line 26 and a short line 27 which over resistors 30 connects with the home line of each station. A calling station operates switch hook contacts 14 and 18 and presses a latching button to connect with a wanted station's home line and, when the button is under pressure, connects a ringing circuit over battery 19. Instead of having the line 26 in common a separate line may be taken from each station to the positive pole of battery 12 so that each station may connect with the resistors 30 and the battery over a twisted pair. As shown in Fig. 3 two-wire talking circuits may be used, both wires being switched and both battery lines to each station having an individual resistor. The resistors may be connected in separately boxed groups each separated from the battery by a speechrejecting filter. It is stated that there is an optimum value of resistor in the battery leads related to the resistance and capacitance per unit length of the speech cable which for any given frequency reduces cross-talk due to capacitative coupling to a minimum. Anti-sidetone circuits may be employed at the stations.

Abstract: 844,851. Discharge tubes. BADER MACHINERY CO. Ltd., and BADER, A. F. March 27, 1957 [March 27, 1956], No. 9612/56. -Drawings to Specification. Class 39(1). [Also in Groups XI and XXIII] The glass exhaust tube of a vessel such as an electric lamp bulb containing gas at greater than atmospheric pressure is sealed off by heating it in a number of stages, and cooling between each application of heat, until such a stage is reached that the inner wall of the tube is soft enough to be sealed by pinching while the outer wall is deformable but still sufficiently strong to withstand the excess pressure inside. The heating steps may be carried out at successive stations of a rotary turret machine, the cooling taking place as the tube indexes from one burner station to the next. The gas is introduced just prior to pinching off.

In operation, the gas-blast parts contacts c, d and passing through a tube e, opens a spring- closed valve f thereby exhausting through a channel e1. When the disc f abuts against stops h, the chamber c which is cut off except for the opening k, becomes filled with pressuregas which, after a time determined by the volume of i, helps spring g to reclose the disc f Walls m protect the valve from the effects of the arc. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), the valve is a ring valve which encircles the switch chamber, the opening k being horizontal. In a further modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), an open ring-shaped valve, with overlapping edges, is used, the opening k being vertical as in Fig. 1.

Patent GB-659288-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of vinyl allyl ether
Filed: 1949-04-11
Abstract: Vinyl-allyl ether is produced by a process comprising reacting acetylene under pressure with allyl alcohol in the presence of at least 20 per cent by weight of potassium allylate, at a temperature between 70 DEG  and 100 DEG  C.  Preferably acetylene is reacted under pressure with a solution of potassium allylate in allyl alcohol.  Such a solution may be obtained by dehydrating a mixture of potassium hydroxide and allyl alcohol by azeotropic distillation with benzene.  In the example a solution of potassium allylate in allyl alcohol is heated with acetylene under pressure. When the reaction is complete the mixture is cooled, water is added and vinylallyl ether is distilled off under slightly reduced pressure.  Specification 369,297 is referred to.

Abstract: 400,977. Boiler &c. cleaners. MOSES, R. I., Iona House, Station Road, Langley, Buckinghamshire. April 6, 1932, No. 9905. [Class 99 (ii).] In a boiler &c. cleaner in which a blower tube 2 surrounds a fixed cleaning-fluid supply pipe 1 and is capable of longitudinal and rotary movements thereon, fluid-tightness between these two parts is secured by a sealing device comprising annular members 12, 11 mounted on the said parts respectively or on members associated therewith. The sealing members 11, 12 are brought into abutting relationship initially by manual or like means and are maintained in this position by the passage of the cleaning fluid -through the blower tube. As shown in Fig. 2 the member 11 is secured near the end of a sleeve 7 which screws on to the outer end of the tube 2 and is formed with an operating hand-wheel 9, and the member 12 is constituted by a V-edge &c. on a collar 13 at the inner end of the pipe 1. The sleeve may include a stuffing-box 15 with packing 14 compressed on to the pipe 1, and both the sleeve and hand-wheel are slotted at 21, 22 respectively so as to clear the outlet of the cleaning-fluid valve 3 when the blower tube is being withdrawn. The invention is also applicable to marine boilers, the blower being normally located in one of a bank of tubes and adapted to be projected therefrom during operation by means disposed at the front of the boiler. In a modification, Figs. 7 and 10, the member 11. is secured to the reduced end of a sleeve 70 in screw-threaded engagement with the outer end of the blower tube 2, and the member 12 is welded to the supply pipe 1. Rotation of the blower is effected by a chain-wheel 100 through suitable gearing, or by an ordinary hand-wheel, and the blower tube may terminate in a simple nozzle or be provided with a multinozzle extension 2a. Means for supplying cooling air &c. to the blower tube in this construction are described. Specification 375,511 is referred to in the Provisional Specification.
