Title: A Photometer whose Adjustment Depends on Observing the Distinctness of a Diagram.
Inventor: CARTER FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-05-11
Granted: 1900-07-14
Abstract: 8705. Carter, F. W. May 11. Photometers.-Fig. 2 shows an arrangement for comparing two lights L, S, but, in a modification, the intensity of one light may be estimated ; when used for photography, the actinic rays are filtered by a coloured plate. The lights are compared by turning them at the surfaces I, I, through a diagram D, a fragment of which is shown enlarged in Fig. 1, and observing them through the telescope X. The instrument is shifted along the line L-S till a balance is obtained. The test is best applied by observing the part of the diagram which is just becoming indistinct for want of illumination. Such a part may be obtained by altering the size of the image or its illumination by optical methods, such as a concave lens, or a diaphragm, or the distinctness of different parts of the diaphragm may vary, as shown in Fig. 1, or a combination of these methods may be employed.

Title: Improvements in Locomotive Toys.
Inventor: CLARK DAVID PARKER
Filed: 1901-06-18
Granted: 1901-07-20
Abstract: 12,431. Clark, D. P. June 18. Mechanical toys.-Relates to locomotive toys driven by a flywheel, and consists of arrangements by which the pressure between the flywheel axle and the running wheels is increased. The flywheel is mounted so that its axle impinges on the running wheels in a tangential direction, when pressure is applied to the frame, thereby allowing the flywheel to be revolved by moving the toy along a surface, and also giving increased running effect. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the flywheel axle 5 rests against both pairs of running wheels 2, and is pressed downwards by a roller 8 mounted on the frame 1. The running wheel axles 3 work in slots with inclined sides 4, so that pressure on the frame forces the wheels 2 against the axle 5. The two pairs of running wheels are sometimes mounted on swinging frames, and work in slots in the frame which carries the flywheel axle. In another arrangement, the flywheel axle only bears on a single pair of wheels, the axle of which is mounted in inclined slots. The flywheel 36, Fig. 11, may be carried by a frame pivoted at 39 to a frame 33 carrying the rear wheels 40, against which the flywheel axle rests. The flywheel axle may be fitted with ball bearings.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Derivatives of Indigo and of Intermediate Products relating thereto.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1901-10-14
Granted: 1902-08-14
Abstract: 20,552. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Oct. 14. Chloro-and bromo-phenylglycine-o-carboxylic acids are produced by acting upon phenylglycine-ocarboxylic acid, alone or dissolved in glacial acetic acid, benzene, ligroin, or the like, with bromine or chlorine. With bromine in the cold, a monobromo derivative only is obtained, but by continued passage of chlorine a dichloro as well as amidochloro derivative is formed. The same compounds are obtained by acting upon the #-cyanmethylanthranilic acid (the nitrile of phenylglycine-ocarboxylic acid described in Specification No. 5763, A.D. 1900), with bromine and chlorine, and then saponifying the halogen products thus obtained. The bromo-and chloro-phenylglycine-o-carboxylic acid and the chloro-#-cyanmethylanthranilic acids are new bodies. Dyes, artificial.-Halogen-indigos are produced from the foregoing halogen-phenylglycine-o carboxylic acids by heating their alkali salts, or the free acids and an alkaline salt such as sodium acetate, with a condensing agent, such as acetic anhydride, whereby diacetyl halogen indoxyls are formed, then saponifying these products by means of excess of alkali, and finally blowing air through the solution, or otherwise oxidizing the halogen indoxyls. A dibromindigo, a dichlorindigo, and a tetrachlorindigo are produced by these processes. The tetrachlorindigo is easily reduced on the fibre by caustic soda, and is especially adapted for printing unprepared material.

Abstract: 6924. Garrison, J. E. March 21. Nozzles.-A hose nozzle, especially adapted for fire hose, is arranged so that it may supply a stream, or a thin sheet of water, or both. The nozzle is made in two parts A', A<2> coupled to a plug B provided with a passage H. In the interior of the part A' a tube C is secured concentrically, by means of lugs and screws, so as to leave an annular passage D surrounding the tube. The tube C has a flared end, and a correspondingly-flared sleeve A<3> is screwed upon the part A<2>. By altering the position of the sleeve, the width of the annular passage between the flared end of the tube and the sleeve can be adjusted. To the inner end of the tube C are hinged two valves E, which, when brought together, form a cone and close the passage C<2> through the tube. When the valves are spread apart to their limit, the passage D is practically closed and the passage C<2> is open ; in intermediate positions both passages are open. For the purpose of moving the valves, a disc F, having an S-shaped opening G, is provided. The ends e of the valves E lie within this opening, and, by turning the disc, the position of the valves can be adjusted. The disc is turned by means of a ring I connected to the disc by a stud engaging a slot in the wall of the nozzle. When the valves are fully closed and fully open, a thin sheet and a stream of water are supplied, respectively, and both a sheet and stream of water are supplied in intermediate positions of the valves. The water supply may be cut off by means of a plate J located in the part A<2> and provided with an eccentric hole adapted to register with the passage H. By turning the plate, so that the hole is out of register, the water supply is shut off. The plate is turned by means of a ring K connected to the plate by a pin working in a slot in the wall of the nozzle.
