Abstract: 21,397. McLeod, M. E. Nov. 26, 1907. Cutting-out.-Ladies' skirts are draughted by the aid of a centre front chart, Fig. 1, and a side form chart, Fig. 2. The invention consists in the particular shape of the charts, and the arrangement of the slots and perforations thereon. Line A, Fig. 1, forms the centre front line, and is placed along the folded edge of the material. The width of the front section is determined by the graduations in the slots B, D and on the hip line E, and the height by the line E, and either the perforated line C for normal figures, or, for abnormal figures, the high waist-line J. The perforations F mark the position for darts, and are joined to corresponding perforations G. The waist-line is completed with the aid of the pattern shown in Fig. 2, starting from the graduation in scale A corresponding to the measurement obtained, and allowing for the dart by means of a scale gg, which is graduated to correspond to the difference between waist and hip measurements. The perforations I are similarly graduated, and are used to obtain the correct hip-line.

Title: A New or Improved Method of Cleaning Boilers, and a New or Improved Apparatus in connection therewith.
Inventor: PETT FRANK SAMUEL

Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 25,248. Pett, F. S. Nov. 24. Cleaning tubes.-A device for cleaning boilertubes consists of a rod having at its end a brush or scraper, adapted to remain in line with the rod for insertion through the tube, and, on emerging at the further end, to be angularly displaced and retained at right-angles to the rod, by which it is then rotated so as to clean the end of the tube and adjacent portion of the tube-plate. The rod a, Fig. 1, is long enough to traverse the tube, and is forked at the end to receive the brush or scraper b having a tail-piece b<1> and pivoted at c. While passing through the tube, the brush is kept in line with the rod a by a stop-pin d, but a half-turn allows it to drop to the position shown in Fig. 5, so that tail-piece p, which, in the modification shown, takes the form of a scraper, bears against the tube. The tube is then cleaned by rotating the rod, the tool being removed by reversing the introducing operation. By making the bristles longer, as shown in Fig. 5, the tool may be used for cleaning the interior of the tube. Instead of a tail-piece there may be a second brush, Fig. 6, of different weight to the first, so that they fall into the position shown dotted. In the modificacion shown in Fig. 9, the bristles h are flexible enough to bend back when pushed through the tube by the rod i, which is approximately centred by the boss i<1>. The disk k is then drawn up by a rod or wire m for cleaning, and is finally pushed bick and the brush withdrawn.

Abstract: 3302. Ilges, F. W. Feb. 12, 1908, [Convention date]. Distilling - plant. -A fractionating- plant is composed of a series of apparatus, each comprising one distilling-column A1 and two rectifying- columns B1, C1, so arranged that a particular ingredient in the pure state is obtained from the base of the second rectifier C1 of the apparatus. The liquid condensed in the first rectifier B1 is returned to the still A1 by a pipe v1. The unevaporated liquid from the still A1 is run away to the still of a second apparatus of the same type. The quantity of this residual liquid which is run off is regulated by a valve h2 so that it may be of any desired composition. The vapours issuing from the second rectifier C1 are led into the first rectifier of the preceding apparatus in the series. An evaporator BV1 may be formed in the base of the rectifier B1 to evaporate a portion of the reflux liquid.
