Loom shuttles.- In a shuttle, to facilitate threading, a device consisting of a suitably-bent plate k is mounted in a longitudinal slot b and a lateral recess c formed in the shuttle body. The weft is drawn along the straight left edge of the plate in the slot b, and is looped round the nose of the plate and over a tang h, which projects from the plate into a recess i and prevents the return of the weft on the same side of the plate. The loop of weft is drawn down the outer curved edge of the plate, until it projects over the edge of the plate into a recess n formed in the side of the shuttle. The loop is then caught by the fingers, and the weft is passed under the end of a tang l, formed on the plate, into a tube d which forms the shuttle eye, or the passage under the tang into the tube may be effected automatically as the shuttle is picked. A bevelled slot r is preferably cut in the side of the slot b to prevent the loop of weft from springing out of the recess n when the weft end is released in order to grasp the loop. The tang h may be dispensed with, and the tang l is preferably formed as shown in Fig: 8, ah opening v being cut in the plate k. Instead of the tang' l being used, a part of the wall of the tube d may be extended into a spiral over which the weft may be easily slipped.

Condensers. - Relates to improvements in condensing steam -electric locomotives of the type described in Specification No. 10,311, A.D. 1904, and consists in substituting for the air-cooled condenser therein a water-cooled condenser, the condenser water, and in some cases the condenser steam, being cooled by air or by mechanical or chemical refrigerating means. The locomotive is carried on eight-wheeled bogies, in each of which four wheels are driven by motors, the armatures of which are directly mounted on the axles, current being supplied from a turbine-driven dynamo C, controlled by the usual means from the driving compartment D in front. The exhaust from the turbine E passes to a jet condenser H, which is operated by pumps J supplied from a tank K and delivers the mixed steam and condensing and condensation water to pipes L having a series of transverse branch pipes M which deliver the hot water over wire screens N, the meshes of which retain drops of water. The water flowing down is cooled by air entering in front and passing out through adjustable openings, and falls into the tank K from which the feed-pumps are supplied. This apparatus for condensing the steam and cooling the water is of known form. A turbine-driven blower for the furnace and a feedwater-heater are provided. The cooling and condensing apparatus may be wholly or partly carried on a separate truck or trucks, as well as a supply of water. The air from the cooling - apparatus may be employed for draught purposes with or without being heated, and may be circulated by fans, blowers, exhausters, injectors, or ejectors. A vacuum may be maintained in the turbine exhaust and the steam condensed by other means, such as ejector condensers, combined with circulating- pumps ; or a surface condenser may be employed. When mechanical or chemical refrigeration is employed, the cooling-medium, such as brine, may be circulated through pipes on the outside of which the condensing-water is sprayed.

Patent GB-190527000-A (GB)
Title: Improved Manufacture of an Indophenol.
Filed: 1905-12-27
Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 27,000. Abel, C. D., [Akt.-Ges. fiir Anilin- Fabrikation]. Dec. 27. Indophenols.-An indophenol of the formula NH2-C6H4-N=C6H4=O is made by the oxidation of p-phenylenediamine and phenol in neutral or feebly alkaline solution by suitable superoxides, such as manganese or lead peroxides with or without an agent, which facilitates the oxidizing effect of the peroxide, such as hydrogen disodium phosphate. In an example, p-phenylenediamine and phenol are dissolved in water, and lead peroxide is added to the solution with stirring, having previously been mixed with hydrogen disodium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate. The oxidation is performed at 10-15‹ C., and is quickly finished. Some indophenol separates out and is filtered off along with the load phosphate, and the residue is extracted with alcohol or hot water. The mixture of indophenol and lead phosphate may be treated in any other suitable way, e.g. the indophenol may be reduced to its leuco compound, p-amido-oxydiphenylamine, suitably by means of sodium sulphide. The lead sulphide may be filtered off, and the leuco compound precipitated in a suitable manner, e.g. by the addition of sodium bicarbonate. In another example, p-phenylenediamine and phenol are dissolved in water, and, at 10-15‹ C., a paste of lead peroxide is added with stirring. Indophenol very quickly forms, separating as crystals. The product is filtered, and the residue, consisting of indophenol and lead peroxide, is extracted with alcohol or hot water and the solution filtered. Indophenol crystallizes out, especially on cooling, and separation of the yellow crystals is completed by the addition of common salts. For manufacture of sulphurized dye-stuffs, the aqueous, or alcoholic, solution may be used directly. The leuco compound may be produced by means of sodium sulphide, and the lead sulphide filtered off, and so on, as in the first example.
