Title: An Improved Lighting and Extinguishing Apparatus for Gas Burners.
Inventor: MORAND GEORGES AUGUSTE ALBERT
IPC: F23Q9/02
Filed: 1910-04-15
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 9202. Morand, G. A. A: Nov. 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Actuating valves.-A clock-controlled apparatus for automatically lighting and extinguishing gas burners for street or like lighting or luminous advertisements, comprises a vessel 1 divided by a sealed partition 9 into a valve chamber A, and a lever chamber B. The operating-lever 5, which has a counterweight 7 resting on a clock-operated cam 12, passes under the partition 9 to the valve chamber and carries a liquid-seal or other valve 4 in close proximity to the pipe 3 leading to the burners. A by-pass pipe 11 extends downwards close to the liquid 10, which is preferably mercury. As the valve 4 is lowered to allow gas to pass to the burners, mercury is displaced by the partial immersion of the valve so that the liquid level rises and closes the end of the by-pass pipe 11, thereby extinguishing the pilot flame. Similarly, when the valve is raised to cut-off the gas supply to the burners the by-pass pipe is opened to supply a pilot flame. The by-pass may, however, be arranged so that the pilot flame is permanently lit.

Patent GB-191014929-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Meters for Determining the Exposure or Aperture Required in Taking Photographs.
Inventor: HART HARRY ROBERT
IPC: G01J1/42
Filed: 1910-06-21
Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 14,929. Hart, H. R., [Gow, G. A.]. June 21. Exposure meters.-In an exposure-meter, the outer disk a, Fig. 1, is marked with exposure times along one part of the periphery and with diaphragm apertures along the other part. The relatively rotating disk d is marked with subjects on one part of the periphery, and carries two segmental plates h, k which slide in grooves in the disk d. One of the segmental plates h is marked with weather indications and actinic ratios. The other plate is marked with platespeed numbers and is adjustable with the actinic-ratio scale on the plate k. The plate k is set when the meter is standardized, but is movable slightly in its slot in order that, if it is found by experience that the exposure tends to be a little too much or too little, this may be rectified by adjusting the plate. The actinic ratio found from an auxiliary monthly table is set to the scale k, and the ring d is then set until the weather indication is opposite the aperture used. The exposure is then indicated for the subject taken by the other scales. Or, alternatively, if the subject scale is set to the exposure to be given, the weather scale indicates the necessary aperture. The scales may be relatively interchanged. The disks a, d may be mounted to rotate on a central pivot e, or, alternatively, they may be circumferentially mounted and work automatically in connexion with a lens diaphragm. For the latter purpose, the disks are replaced by rings. The ring a, Figs. 5 and 6, is mounted on another ring p fixed to the sleeve q on the lens tube r. The ring d is frictionally adjustable on a collar s mounted to rotate on the sleeve q. The collar s is moved through a link u, which is pivoted to the collar and carries a pin v which extends into a slot w, Fig. 7, in the plate p, and also into the slot x, Fig. 10, of a ring integral with the diaphragm lever z. The curve w is shaped so that, on moving the lever z, the non-uniform motion of the aperture indicator z may produce a uniform motion of the inner ring d. In using the meter, the weather indication on the ring d is independently set to the aperture indicated by the diaphragm indicator z, and the correct exposure is then automatically indicated on any further adjustment of the diaphragm indicator z.
