Title: Improvements in or relating to aircraft instruments
Inventor: BLOM-BAKKE ARNE
IPC: G01C5/06
Filed: 1970-03-26
Abstract: 1294594 Measuring pressure electrically A BLOM-BAKKE 26 March 1970 [29 March 1969] 14629/70 Heading G1N, G1L An aircraft instrument represents vertical position of an aircraft in accordance with P<SP>n</SP> where P is atmospheric pressure at the height of the aircraft and n has a value between 0À19025 and unity so that unit intervals of the representation correspond to intervals of vertical distance which increase in magnitude with increase in height. Thus at a height of, for example, 624 feet above sea level a scale pointer will read '1' whereas the interval between scale points '15' and '16' will be 726 feet when the altitude will be about 10, 000 feet, and at an altitude of 64, 000 feet the interval between scale points '62' and '63' will correspond to 2, 373 feet. It is stated that such an instrument enables more efficient utilisation of air space. The instrument includes in a casing 1 two monometric capsules 3 coupled in series to the I-bar 4 of an E and I e. m. pick-off 5 on a pivotable carriage 6 so that changes of atmospheric pressure cause angular displacement of the I-bar with respect to the core 7. The resultant electric signal is applied to a servo 8 to drive a cam 12 to rotate the carriage so as to rebalance the core with respect to the I-bar. A digital drum counter 15 is driven from a gear train 9 and provides the height representation. The scale can be adjusted for standard barometric pressure by a knob 19. The cam profile is chosen according to the desired value of n.

Abstract: Rabbits' hair having reduced tendency to become electrified by friction when incorporated in yarns and textiles is prepared by treating the hairs with aldehydes or formic acid at a pH between 1 and 7 at from room temperature up to 100 DEG  C. or in vapour form. Any excess of aldehyde or acid is removed by ammonia or by aeration. The process is particularly applicable to the treatment of Angora rabbit hair.  At room temperatures, the process may occupy some days or even weeks, but at temperatures from 30 DEG  to 100 DEG  C. it may be carried out in a few hours.  According to examples, Angora rabbit hair is treated with about 10 per cent of 40 per cent formaldehyde in the presence of sulphuric, phosphoric, hydrochloric, formic, acetic, or chloracetic acids, or it may be treated by formic acid alone. Specifications 243,301, [Class 15 (ii)], and 583,005 are referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also the treatment of rabbits' hair with mordants such as soluble salts of magnesium, calcium, zinc, boron, aluminium, tin, and chromium, and the anhydrides of organic acids such as vapours of phthalic acid anhydride, with or without volatile organic bases such as pyridine. Also halogenated organic acids such as trichloracetic acid, or sulphonated substances such as Turkey red oil or naphthalene sulphonic acids, or bromine or chlorine may be used.  The prepared hairs may be carded, pressed, stretched or curled, e.g. by pressing against a perforated plate or passing between undulated plates with openings for the admission of treating liquid or vapour.  In further examples, rabbit hair is soaked in magnesium acetate solution with or without an aldehyde, in aluminium sulphate solution with or without aldehydes, and in boric acid solution in the presence of sulphuric acid.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
