Title: An Improved Keyboard Adapted for Playing Music at any Absolute Pitch and an Improved System of Musical Notation specially Adapted for use therewith and also Adapted for other Musical purposes
Inventor: THACKERAY SAMUEL WHITFIELD
Filed: 1903-06-27
Granted: 1904-02-25
Abstract: 14,333. Thackeray, S. W. June 27. Pianofortes; organs, harmoniums, and like instruments; music notation. -A keyboard for manual or pedal purposes, adapted for playing music at an absolute pitch or for fulfilling the functions of a transposing keyboard, is shown in plan in Fig. 2 and in front view in Fig. 3. The keys are uniformly level, and are in two parts b, b<1>, the upper part of each key being free to slide upon the lower part and to be placed in position for play by the transposing-bar d. If the keys are in one part, they are slotted to permit them to be drawn forward. The transposing-bar has handles i for pulling it, and its key-engaging teeth e are set by shifting the bar to the left or right, the shift being indicated by a pointer k on the index plate mounted on the name rail m. The keyboard may be fitted to an existing instrument after removing the keys, the transposing-bar being about one octave short to allow for its movement. The notation employed embodies a movabledoh system with thirteen lines in one stave divided vertically into equal time divisions, and characters or signs, such as are shown in Figs. 23 and 24, to represent the notes at absolute pitch or at relative pitch to a movable doh. The characters or signs are rectilinear or curvilinear for scale notes, and rhomboidal or rhomboidal and oval combined for non-scale notes. They are solid, shaded, or open. A single chant in the notation is shown in Fig. 30. The numerals 0 to 11 or 12 may be used in place of the characters or signs. The octaves of C are numbered C4 .... C11, the middle C being C8, and octaves are separated or indicated in the notation by thickened lines.
Patent GB-190316670-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Pumps
Inventor: CLARK OLIVER LOCKWOOD
Filed: 1903-07-29
Granted: 1903-09-10
Abstract: 16,670. Clark, O. L., and Valentour, A. July 29. Well pumps.-Relates to pumps for deep wells, such as artesian or oil wells. Fig. 1 shows a vertical section of a well with a pump in position, and Fig. 3 a vertical section of the pumping- arrangement. A tube 3, 4 is fixed to the plug 3<a> through which the oil passes from the well into the tube. Inside this tube is the working barrel 5, which is forced down until the shoulder 12 rests on the seat 13. Working in this barrel are the piston 24 and piston-rod 24<1> actuated by the cable 27 from the top of the shaft. The water or oil passes up through the valve 9 and apertures 7 into the space 11 and then through the openings 19 into the barrel 5. The weight of the water passing into this barrel forces the piston down, there being also a partial vacuum on the other side. The valve 26 allows the escape of any fluid which has got past the cups 21. The cable 27 is then drawn up, thus closing the valve 9 and opening the valve 15, the fluid thus passing up the tube 4. This arrangement allows the pumping part to be quickly taken out and repaired.

Abstract: 19,424. Kitchen, J., Ellis, J., Balmforth, T., and Brown, B. C. Sept. 9. Vertical boilers; feedwater, heating, purifying, and supplying; water-circulation, promoting. -Fig. 1 shows a boiler of the type described in Specification No. 8995, A.D. 1903, combined with an arrangement, shown on an enlarged scale in Fig. 3, for purifying and heating the feedwater, which is delivered to the boiler in such a manner as to promote circulation. The casing G, Fig. 3, through which pass small tubes H, surrounded by steam coming through the pipe J from the boiler or from the engine exhaust, has at one end a casting L, provided with an inspection and cleaning opening M and a feedwater inlet pipe O. The other end of the casing is fitted with a casting P, which forms a mud collector R, provided with a baffle Q, and has the feedwater outlet pipe Y to the boiler. A filter T, consisting of perforated brass plates or brass wire gauze and canvas or other material, is held on one side by a circular rib U and on the other by a bush V and flange W. The feedwater, which enters by the inlet pipe O, has the bulk of its heavier particles precipitated after passing through the tubes H, the remainder of the mud being caught by the filter. The heated water passes through the pipe Y, which is fitted with a check valve 1 and terminates in the boiler in a ring 2 having perforations 3 at such an angle that the incoming water would set up a circulation in the direction shown by the arrows, as well as equally distributing itself throughout the water already in the boiler. The mud collector R has a blow-off connection Z. The condensed steam passes from the casing to the boiler by a pipe K fitted with a non-return valve.

Title: Improvements relating to Breech Loading Ordnance
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
Filed: 1903-12-31
Granted: 1904-10-20
Abstract: 28,774. Dawson, A. T., and Horne, J. Dec. 31. Loading-appliances.-Fig. 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 3 a plan, of a safety-device for preventing the closing of the breech while the loading tray is in the line of recoil of the gun, and for holding the tray clear of the gun when the breech is closed. The loading-tray (not shown) is pivoted at C' to an arm C pivoted to a bracket B', and is held parallel to the gun A in all positions, as described in Specification No. 9417, A.D. 1899. A rocking bar b, supported in bearings on the slide frame extension B, carries at either end, arms b<2>, b<3>. When the arm C is in the loading position, a spring b<4> rocks the bar b, so that the arm b<2> passes in rear of the end a' of a " trigger-piece " a, which is pivoted at ax to the breech-end of the gun, and is pressed outwards by a spring a<3>. In this position, shown by the chain lines in Fig. 3, the end a<1> of the " trigger-piece" prevents the full closing motion of the breech-operating lever D, so that the breech cannot be locked. On its outward swing, the arm C engages the arm b<3>, and, by throwing over the bar b, releases the " trigger-piece" a, and permits the closing of the breech, at the same time a lug c projecting below the arm C rides on to a third arm b<5> on the rod b, set at right angles to the arm b<3>, and engages in a locking-notch. The releasing motion of the rod b is prevented by the lever D, which holds the tail-piece a' of the " trigger-piece " a in front of the arm b<2>.
