Title: Improvements in or relating to Pneumatic Tyres.
Inventor: BOTHWELL DEWITT HASKIN
Filed: 1899-10-12
Granted: 1900-08-18
Abstract: 20,484. Bothwell, D. H. Oct. 12. Tyres, pneumatic ; felloes or rims.- Relates to the sectional pneumatic tyre shown in partial longitudinal section in Fig. 2. The tyre consists of a number of separate detachable air chambers B, which fit between the flanges of the rim A. The base of each chamber B has a rectangular opening through which a clamping-box F is passed, and the edges e of the base are secured between the block and the rim by screwing up the bolts g, which pass through the rim into the block. The bolts may have rubber seatings h, which prevent the escape of air. The inflating-valve d is employed for the inflation of one chamber, which is in communication with the other chambers through the passages i, c. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the hinged fastenings L secure the blocks to the rim. The Provisional Specification describes also a form in which the edges of the chambers overlap within the rim, and the inturned edges of the rim secure the chambers. The passages c may be closed by flap valves.

Title: Improvements in or connected with the Generation of Steam for "Power" Purposes.
Inventor: MUSKER CHARLES
Filed: 1900-03-30
Granted: 1901-03-30
Abstract: 5947. Musker, C., Musker, A., and Hay, W. G. March 30. Instantaneous generators; feedwater, controlling; superheaters, steam.-Relates to coiled-tube generators suitable for motor vehicles and navigable vessels such as torpedo boats, and more particularly to means for automatically controlling the supply of air to the furnace, which burns solid fuel, and the supply of feedwater, in accordance with the pressure in the generator. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the closed furnace a has a coil embedded in its lining, and three concentric coils are arranged in a horizontal casing b through which the furnace gases pass. The water passes through all the coils in succession, being supplied by a pump f which is driven by an independent motor c. This motor also drives the air-supply fan e. The supply of steam to the motor c is controlled by a pressure governor h consisting of a spring-loaded piston exposed to the varying pressure in the generator. Fig. 3 shows a modified arrangement, in which all the coils are disposed m one casing, the lower part of which encloses the furnace. In this case the feed-pump and fan are driven by the main engine, the shaft of which is shown at l. The pressure governor operates valves e<4> and m<1>, which act respectively to regulate the discharge from the fan, and to allow the discharge from the feed-pump to be returned to the supply tank g, when the pressure rises unduly. The air from the fan is delivered into a box k beneath the furnace through a cone a<7> which projects into the fire ; thence it passes through pipes e<2> into the furnace. It is stated that the apparatus acts to regulate the superheating of the steam.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Saccharin
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1900-04-18
Granted: 1901-03-09
Abstract: 7199. Thompson, W. P., [Gfeller, E.]. April 18. Saccharin. - Consists in converting o-sulphaminebenzoic acid into saccharin by heating it in solution in ethyl or methyl alcohol, or other solvent, with dried powdered sodium bisulphate or pyrosulphate upon a water bath for several hours in a vertical distiller. The resulting liquid is filtered from the sodium sulphate produced and from any undecomposed bisulphate or pyrosulphate, and neutralized with sodium carbonate for converting the free sulphuric acid into sodium sulphate, which is also filtered off, and then the alcohol is distilled off. The residue consists of a mixture of saccharin and its ethyl ether. This is mixed with water and caustic soda, whereby the ether is saponified, and then acidified for precipitating the saccharin, The yield is over 95 per cent. of the theoretical quantity.

A.D. 1901, for indicating the names of stations &c. in railway carriages or tramway cars, such apparatus being operated by the engagement of a trip-shoe on the car or vehicle with trip-pins or other projections on the track. In the present invention, the indicator plates or cords 24 are arranged to be moved horizontally, instead of vertically into and out of the displaying position. The cards &c. 24 are mounted on separate horizontal guide-rods 23, and are provided with pins or studs 26, which are engaged by the slotted ends 28 of the levers 27. These levers are connected separately by links 29 and levers 30 to corresponding operating-arms C, which are all provided with shoulders 33 and spring.controlled lugs 34 adapted to be engaged by the rib 14 on the operating-slide 12 when the arms are depressed. The arms C are normally held up by springs 31, so that the cards &c. 24 are invisible, the bar 18 engaging the shoulders 37 of the arms to prevent movement. The arms C are depressed in consecutive order by pins 44 arranged on rods 43 carried by the ratchetdriven chains 40. When one of the arms is depressed, the movement of the slide 12 causes the rib 14 to move the corresponding card &c. 24 into view, and then to withdraw it to its normal position. The slide 12 may be actuated in any approved manner. In the arrangement shown, it is operated by the crank-pin 67 on the spindle 69, which may be driven from an axle of a car or from some other source of power.
