Title: Improvements in or connected with Fluid Pressure Brakes for Barrel Recoil Ordnance.
Filed: 1906-02-08
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 3087. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. April 10, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Field carriages. - Relates to recoil apparatus provided with means for regulating the length of the recoil. Fig. 1 is a sectional side elevation, Fig. 2 a sectional plan, and Fig. 3 a cross-section. The cylinder A recoils with the gun, and forces liquid from the front to the rear of the piston D through ports e<3> in a slide valve E and ports d<5> and grooves d<6> in the piston D. A stud d<2> on the piston travels in a helical groove a<1> in the cylinder A, thereby rotating the piston on the rod B and throttling the ports e<3>, d<5>. The length of the recoil stroke is adjusted by altering the relative longitudinal positions of the piston D and valve E by means of a rod G, coupled to the valve E by a pin H, and screwed at its forward end through a nut J, the rotation of which effects the axial movement of the rod.

Title: Manufacture of a New Para-aminodiphenylaminesulphonic Acid.
Filed: 1906-06-15
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 13,772. Pantin, H., and Tolputt, T. M., (executors of Abel, C. D.), [Akt.-Ges. fiir Anilin-Fabrikation]. June 15. p-Aminodiphenylamine sulphonic acid.-A. new acid is stated to be obtained. by sulphonating p ammodiphenylamine with 100 per cent sulphuric acid, or with fuming sulphuric acid containing not more than 20 per cent of sulphur trioxide, at temperatures between 100‹ C. and 130‹ C. The acid may be separated and purified in any known manner, or, as'described in the Specification by pouring the mass into water, filtering, dissolving the residue in aqueous sodium carbonate, and finally acidifying to set free the sulphonic acid. The new acid is difficultly soluble in hot water (1 part in 125À5 parts of boiling water), crystallizing out in concentric bunches of five needles. Its sodium salt is easily soluble, and its potassium salt less readily so. Oxidizing- agents, such as ferric chloride, or a mixture of acetic acid and potassium bichromate, produce a red-yellow colour in dilute aqueous solutions of the acid. The diazo compound of the acid separates from aqueous solutions as a yellow crystalline precipitate.

Title: Method of and Means for Controlling Optical Projection Apparatus from a Distance.
Inventor: SYKES WILLIAM ROBERT
Filed: 1906-12-19
Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 29,001. Sykes, W. R., Cooke, C. J., and Sykes, W. R. Dec. 19. Optical projection apparalus.-Relates to slidechanging apparatus for optical projection apparatus which is controlled from a distance electrically. Fig. 1 is a diagram of the lantern apparatus and Fig. 4 is an elevation of the distant controlling- apparatus. The transparencies are mounted on an endless band or on a disk 7 provided with laterally projecting pins 10, a crescent - shaped pawl 11 carried by the rotary oscillating armature 13 of an electro-magnet 12 engaging with these pins to turn the disk 7 step by step. A weighted shield 5 pivoted at 14, intercepts the path of the light during the slide-changing process, and is then withdrawn by an electro-magnet 16. The controlling - device consists mainly of three disks 18, 19, 20 mounted to rotate independently on the spindle 31, the disk 20 being provided with pins 38 corresponding to the pins 10 on the disk 7 and adapted to rock the lever 39 about its pivot 39<a> to complete electric circuits alternately at the points 40, 41 and so to energize the magnets 12, 16 alternately. The disk 18 is turned by hand in one direction only, its backward movement being prevented by a pawl 26 and ratchet teeth 25. The movement of the disk 19 is limited to one revolution by a stop 34 engaging with a pivoted arm 35 which can turn through a small angle between the stops 37a, 37b. The end of an arm 17 which is pivoted to the disk 18 and is pressed outwardly by a spring is normally kept in engagement with a notch 27 in the disk 19 by a wedge on the arm 35. To set any slide in position, a peg is inserted in the corresponding hole 45 provided in the dialplate 22 and the disk 18 is turned through a complete revolution carrying the disk 19 with it, since the arm 17 is kept in engagement with the notch 27 by contact with the inner edge of a fixed ring 23. At the end of a revolution, the pin 34 presses the arm 35 against the stop 37b and allows the end of the arm 17 to rise into a notch in the ring 23, when the spring 29, which has been wound up by the forward rotation of the disk 19, returns the latter until a projection 46 on it engages the adjusted peg. A projection 19<a> on the disk 19 engages the pawl 20<a> on the disk 20 and causes the disks to rotate together, the pins 38 rocking the lever 39 to make the contacts necessary to set the disk 7 in position. A roller 48 acts as a detent, and an escapement 51 limits the speed of rotation of the disk 20 under the influence of the spring 29. This device may be used as a departure and arrival indicator for 'trains, and may be interlocked with the signalling-apparatus; it may also be used as a station indicator in trains, and may be operated automatically.

For attachment to a conductor, one or more of the split portions are bent up, as shown in Fig. 4, and if a folded strip of metal is used, it is opened to form an eye 5. When a single strip is used, one or both portions of the split limb 3 have holes 6, Fig. 5.

Producers.-A gas-producer is constructed with two auxiliary chambers each of which acts in succession as a distilling-chamber for fresh fuel and as a reducing or fixing chamber. The producer proper consists of a central chamber 1 almost wholly surrounded by the auxiliary chambers 2, 3, and is connected by a valve pipe so that the gases escaping from the outlet g may be led to the base of the reducing-chamber. The auxiliary chambers are also connected by a pipe system so that the products escaping from the fuel-distilling chamber pass to the base of the reducing-chamber. The gases finally pass through' a washing-plant to an engine.

Title: Method for Detecting and Measuring Alternating Currents.
Inventor: GATI BELA
Filed: 1907-03-26
Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 7234. Gßti, B. March 26. Current meters.-Alternating currents are detected and measured by the change of resistance which they cause in a resistance B, which is in circuit with a battery A and a galvanometer G, the normal indication of which is adjusted to zero by varying a resistance in a shunt circuit containing an opposing battery K. The resistance B may be a very fine metal wire, a carbon filament, a small volume of an electrolyte, a Nernst body, or a carbon contact. The batteries A, K may be in the two circuits of a differential galvanometer. A condenser C may be placed in the alternating - current circuit, and a choking-coil D keeps the alternating current out of the galvanometer circuit. Instead of using the condenser, the alternating-current source may be connected to the primary of a transformer, the secondary of which is connected to the resistance B. The circuits of the batteries A, K may both contain resistances, which vary oppositely when the alternating current passes through them.
