Title: Improvements in Three Colour Screens for Photography and the Process for their Manufacture.
Inventor: BAMBER JOHN
IPC: G03C7/08
Filed: 1909-05-11
Granted: 1909-08-19
Abstract: 11,147. Bamber, J. May 11. [Addition to 3252/08.] Colour photography, screens for.-In making screens according to the process described in the parent Specification with grains of coloured gelatine rolled down on a support covered with a tacky coating, the tacky coating is coloured with one or more colours before the grains are rolled on, thus forming a light - filter for the screen, and rendering the use of a light-filter with the screen unnecessary. In colouring the tacky layer, a solution is used of gum gambose in turpentine with a small amount of red dye, such as is obtained from the alkanet root, and a sufficient quantity of gum copal to give the necessary consistency. A quantity of bleached linseed oil is added to retard the drying of the substratum for a sufficient length of time to form the screen. In making the screen, the grains are rolled under heavy pressure, whereby most of the stained substratum is forced up between the grains forming coloured rings around each grain, and leaving a thin film of stained substratum underneath the grains. The formation of the coloured rings serves to absorb a quantity of white light.

Abstract: 20,005. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Sept. 1. Alternating-current commutator machines. - A winding IV, is applied to the stator or field-magnet system of singlephase shunt or separately excited conduction macbines for the purpose of compensating, by its transformer action upon the armature, for the inductive-voltage drop in the armature windings. In one modification, both the main field winding II and the winding IV are supplied from mains e<1>, the voltage of which is approximately in quadrature with that of the mains k, to which the armature I is connected ; the voltage impressed upon the winding IV is varied according to the load by the use of an adjustable transformer III. In the case of a shunt-excited machine, the field winding II is supplied from the mains K through a suitable phase-transforming device. The winding IV may be similar to the ordinary compensating-winding, or it may be concentrated in a few slots in the stator.
