Title: Improvements in and relating to means for producing alternating currents
IPC: H03B9/01
Filed: 1920-05-11
Abstract: 166,760. British Thomson - Houston Co., Ltd., (General Electric Co.). May 11, 1920. Thermionic oscillation generators.-In a method of producing alternating currents, particularly high-frequency alternating currents for radio-signalling, an electron discharge device with two electrcdes is employed, with a source of direct or lowfrequency alternating current across its electrodes. An oscillatory circuit is coupled to the anodecathode circuit, and current therein produces a magnetic field inside the valve, which is also permanently influenced by a constant magnetic field. As shown in Fig. 1, a coil 8 wound on the tube 1 produces a field in the valve, its strength being variable by the rheostat 10. An oscillatory circuit 11, 12, 13, 15 is shunted across a preferably inductive impedance 7 in the external anodecathode circuit. The coil 11 is wound round the tube 1 to produce therein a varying magnetic field. In a modification, the oscillating circuit is shunted across the whole of the external circuit., and in a further form it is coupled inductively to the impedance 7. The oscillatory circuit may be an aerial, and a key may be inserted between the valve and the earth lead for signalling. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the coils 8, 7, 19 are all wound round the tube 1.

In the form shown, two draw-bars M, M<1>, connected by rods D D<1>, D<2> D<3> to the axle B B' of the driving wheels A A<1>, carry sleeves by which the shares are independently secured through their beams, the depth of working of each plough being controlled by adjusting the height of a wheel secured to the beam. The ploughs are lifted by chains r<1> - - r<6> which are attached to drums R R<1> R<2>, V V<1> V<2> driven through a countershaft and clutches from the driveing wheel axle. The diameters of the driving drums are so proportioned that each plough is lifted the same distance and the point of attachment of the chains to the drums is so arranged that the ploughs are lifted in sequence, the ends of the furrows being in a straight line. A crankarm projects from the shaft of each set of lifting drums and, when the ploughs have been raised sufficiently, this arm operates a chain throwing out the clutch of the lifting gear, a pawl retaining the drum shaft in position. If desired; one or more of the ploughs may be set to slide on the ground to ease the motor when deep tilling is being done. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) describes a modification in which the mould boards of all the ploughs are turned the same way, the ploughs in this modification all being secured to the same frame. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

IPC: G03C7/00
Abstract: 132,580. Comstock, D. F., and Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation. Aug. 15, 1918. Drawings to Specification. Colour photography.-In producing component colour positives from corresponding colour negatives, coloured lights are chosen for printing which will reverse or neutralize the effect of the difference in the range of film densities in the negatives. For negatives having a high contrast gradient, printing-light is used of such wa.velength as will produce a positive having a comparatively low contrast gradient, and vice versa. Thus, for a two-colour process employing red and green taking-filters, ultra-violet and blue filters may be used for printing the positives. The process is particularly applicable for producing colour kinematograph films on a single picture film in which the contrast gradients cannot be equalized by development.
