Title: Improvements in Stereoscopic Telemeters.
Filed: 1913-05-09
Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 10,966. Zeiss, C., [Firm of]. June 1, 1912, [Convention date]. Range-finders.-Relates to stereoscopic telemeters of the kind described in Specification 21,887/03 wherein an orthostereoscopic and a pseudostereoscopic spatial image are presented to the observer simultaneously but separately from one another, the measuring-device acting on the difference between the distance apart of points belonging together in the orthostereoscopic image-pair and the distance apart of the corresponding points in the pseudostereoscopic image-pair. According to the present invention, the pseudostereoscopic image is presented upside down as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. An optical system in which the image-fields correspond to Figs. 1 and 2 is shown in Figs. 5 and 6 and comprises a single separating-prism system g<1>, g<2>, the cement layer g<0> being replaced in its lower half by a separating-layer reflecting on both sides. The mixed-ray pencil system emerging from the separating prism system is received by a collective lens h, behind which lenses i<0>, i<1>, and i<2> are arranged, the middle lens i<1> being a half-lens. The lens i<0> forms with either of the other two lenses a two-membered inverting system, the images being to the same scale. The reflecting-prism k<2> of the left-hand ocular is formed with a ridge-surface to produce the required inversion of the left-hand image with regard to the right-hand one. The measuring- device is a longitudinally displaceable wedge f. Another form in which the inverted images each occupy only a band extending in the direction of the base-line across the image-field has a separating-prism system for each ocular.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Grinding of Gear Wheel Teeth.
Inventor: MAAG MAX
IPC: B23F5/06
Filed: 1913-07-07
Granted: 1914-07-07
Abstract: 15,617. Maag, M. Jan. 11, [Convention date]. Gear-wheels, grinding. - In a machine for grinding by the generating process roughly cut involute gear-wheel teeth for use in airships, motor-cars, &c., the operative grinding- surface of the grinding-disk is situated in a plane normal to the grinding-wheel spindle, and is not broader than the operative surface of a corresponding rack-tooth, and the axial shifting of the grinding-edge plane caused by the wear of the disk is automatically compensated. The machine is described in a form in which two grinding-disks independent of each other are used for simultaneously machining one right-hand and one left-hand tooth. The blank 13 is mounted with an indexing-device on an arbor 12 carried by a reciprocating feed-slide 3, the band 15 and segment 14 comprising the gear-blank rolling-apparatus being actuated by a transverse reciprocation of a slide 11 carrying the blank arbor 12 and sliding on the slide 3. The movement of the slide 11 constitutes the cutting-stroke of the machine. The grinding- disks 18 are driven by electric motors 34 and are adjustably carried by turntables 25 on slides 23 moving on guides 22 on a vertically adjustable bridge 21. The grinder slides are adjustable towards each other by a right and left handed screw 24, and the turntables are angularly adjusted by feathered worms 26 on a shaft 27. The operative surfaces of the grinders consist of flat annular surfaces 37, of which the external circumferential portions take the heavier part of the cut and are most worn. In order to ensure smooth running teeth, the annular grinding-surface is not broader than the operative surface of a corresponding racktooth so that each tooth is ground to the limit of its actual driving-surface by the portion of the grinding-surface situated at the inner circumference of the annulus, where the surface becomes least worn. Continual feed adjustments of the grinders ensure, however, that before the tooth flank is finished, the inner edge of the operative grinding-annulus is worn down level with the outer edge, and the final cut is taken with an accurately shaped grinder. The progressive inward feed of the grinders is produced by apparatus comprising feeler wheels 44 running on the grinding annulus, which wheels are mounted loosely on spindles driven by cords 42 and carrying friction pulleys which engage with and drive the ratchets and feed screws of the grinders whenever the wear of the grinders allow the feeler wheels to move far enough under spring pressure to bring about such engagement.

Title: Improvements in Telephone Exchange Systems.
IPC: H04M5/08
Filed: 1914-10-02
Granted: 1915-10-04
Abstract: 20,453. Relay Automatic Telephone Co., [formerly Betulander Automatic Telephone Co.], and Aitken, W. Oct. 2. [Cognate Application, 22,716/14.] Exchange systems.-Relates to a system in which the normal traffic between two exchanges A, B is carried by groups of trunks M, N, O, P, Q serving different sections R, S, T, U, V of the A-exchange, while the peak load at busy hours is carried by a group of overflow trunks L, which is multipled through all the sections of the A-exchange, these overflow trunks being taken into use only when all the normal trunks of a section are engaged. Lamp signals enable the A-operator to select an idle trunk, the lamps of busy trunks being energized when the operator presses a testing-key. The busy signals of the overflow trunks are brought into action only when all the normal trunks of the tested section are busy. At the B-exchange, the trunks may be grouped in sections W, X, Y in any manner convenient, or may terminate in call-distributing devices which select an idle plug at an idle position, or distribute the calls to the B-operators in rotation. The overflow trunks, which are led to a separate section Z of the B-exchange, may be divided into sub-groups which are taken into use successively, so that the overflow traffic may bring into use successive B-operators' positions according to its volume. The lamp signals are controlled by test relays which are connected to the sleeve-circuits by a group relay when a key is depressed. A single row of lamps can be associated, as shown in Fig. 3, with several rows of jacks belonging to different exchanges, a separate testing-key g, k, &c. and group relay ger, ker, &c. being provided for each exchange. As shown in Fig. 4, the test relays tr4, tr5, &c. of secondchoice lines are controlled by a group relay cr, which is only brought into action when the test relays tr 1, tr2, &c. of the first-choice lines are all energized. In this modification, the test relays are provided with a second winding, which is connected by the group relay to the a-side of the line when the cut-off relay CO is de-energized, and the a-side of the line is provided with a connexion to battery over a contact of the sleeve relay rr at the distant exchange. By this arrangement, a busy mark is kept on the line after the A-operator has severed a connexion until the B-operator has completed the release of the line. Meters m<1>, m<2> are provided for recording the number of times when all the first choice and all the second choice lines have been in use. In a further modification, the circuits are automatically opened at the B position when the A-operator severs the connexion, and a second call can then be put on the line without waiting for the B-operator to take out the plug.

Abstract: 13,392. Marks, E. C. R., [Otto Higel Co.]. Sept. 20. Feeding webs.-In an automatic musical instrument, tracker-ducts controlling means for guiding a tune sheet are cleaned by connecting them directly to the main bellows or other suction or wind-producing device. The connexion may be made automatically whenever the tune sheet is re-wound. In the arrangement shown, two ducts 4, Fig. 1, communicate with ports 43, Fig. 5, of a valve body 36. The sliding valve 41, pressed down by a blade spring 46, has cross grooves which, in the position shown, connect each port 43 with a port 42 leading to the bellows 39. A link 47, Fig. 1, is pivoted to the valve 41 and to a slide 34 which is operated by a handle 35 to reverse the drive. For this purpose, the slide 34 is pivoted to an arm 33 on a rock shaft 32, carrying an arm engaging a collar 28 splined on a driving- shaft 21. At one side of the collar is a pinion 27 adapted to mesh with a wheel 26 on the shaft of the take-up roll, and on the other side, the collar forms one member of a pin clutch for driving a loose sprocket-wheel 23 geared by a chain to the shaft 12 of the music roll.
