Title: Improvements in Identification Labels for Plants and the like.
Inventor: TWEEDALE JAMES ARTHUR
IPC: G09F3/12
Filed: 1910-03-24
Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 7384. Tweedale, J. A., and Fielding, H. A. March 24. Labels; label holders.-Wire or like supports are attached to garden labels so as to obtain an uninterrupted surface on the front face of the label, by passing the wire through vertical holes or slots, or around grooves in, the label or a projection formed thereon, the label being held by the elasticity of the wire, or by bent portions of the wire. The label is made of wood, metal, earthenware, or the like, and may be formed with a rear projection a<1>. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the wire b is doubled and passed through two holes in the projection a<1>, where it is held by the elasticity of the wire, or by bending one end of the wire over the projection, as shown. The wire may be single and passed up through one hole, and down through the other, being then bent over. Fig. 11 shows one method of engaging the wire b with a groove formed around the projection a'. Specifications 17,560/94, 9306/95, 26,131/96, 16,914/00, and 3749/01 are referred to.

Abstract: 15,388. Thomas, J. G. P. June 27. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power. - In electro-mechanical powertransmission systems of the type described in Specification 25,386/07, [Class 35, Dynamoelectric generators &c.], using two series machines in series, unstable oscillations in the strengths of the fields during regulation are prevented by using an inductive resistance 5, Fig. 1, in shunt to the motor field 4. In other methods, a non-inductive resistance is placed (a) in series with the motor field, which is itself in shunt to the generator field, (b) in parallel with the motor field and in combination with a battery or capacity placed across the generator field.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Expression Controlling Mechanism for Mechanical Musical Instruments.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1912-03-29
Granted: 1913-03-31
Abstract: 7684. Lake, W. E., [Acolian Co.]. March 29. Expression, controlling; tune-sheets; blowing and exhausting air. -Two valves, which are controlled by the tunesheet, control a double bellows arrangement for oscillating the pivot of the governor - valve to vary the suction over the whole range of notes. A frictional device is provided to hold the governor -valve in any set position, and the tune - sheet apertures controlling it vary in length so that various gradations of expression are obtainable. A similar device may be used for accenting individual notes, two valves for controlling a device which oscillates the pivot of a governor valve, and two other valves for opening or closing connexions to the treble and bass sections of the action wind-chest, being provided. The bellows 10 exhaust the chests 13, 24 through the pipes 12, 15, and 36. The chest 13 is connected by pipes 30, 31 having non-return valves 32, 33 to the bass and treble sections of the instrument. The port 16, connecting the chest 13 to exhaust, is controlled by a valve 17 pivoted to an arm 19 mounted on a spindle 20. A rod 28 connects the valve 17 to the moving- board 26 of a governor bellows which is controlled by a spring 27. The spindle 20 may be oscillated by a double-bellows device 24, 25, the moving-board 23 of which is connected by a link 22 to an arm 21 mounted on the spindle 20. The bellows 24, 25 are controlled by valves 51, 51<a> controlled by the tracker-ducts 6, 7. If the tune-sheet admits air to the duct 6, the valve 51 opens and connects the bellows 24 to the wind-chest 65. The collapse of the bellows 24 rotates the spindle 20 to move the pivot 18 of the valve 17 in one direction. The collapse of the bellows 25 by the opening of the duct 7 moves the pivot 18 in the other direction. The effective area of the port 16 varies according to the position of the valve-pivot 18, so that the suction in the chest 13 can thus be controlled to vary the loudness of the notes sounded over the whole range of the instrument. A bladespring hears against the arm 21 and holds it in any position in which it is set, so that, by a succession of short tune-sheet apertures, the loudness of the notes sounded can be reduced or increased step by step. A similar device comprising a double-bellows controlled by the tracker-ducts 8, 9 is provided in connexion with the chest 14, which is connected by pipes 34, 35 to the treble and bass sections of the instrument. The pipes 34, 35 can be opened or closed by valves controlled by ducts 3, 4 in the tracker-bar, so that the tension in one section of the action wind-chest can be varied independently of the tension in the other to accentuate individual notes. A tracker-duct 5 controls the loud pedal. Specification 13,715/00 is referred to.

Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 9906. Zeiss, C., [Firm of]. May 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Telescopes; telescope systems; periscopes.- Telescopes with objectives of different focal lengths, which are capable of being brought alternately into approximately the same operative positions, have one of the objectives composed of a collective member of greater focal length and a dispersive member of smaller focal length than that of the ordinary single-member objective having the same focal plane and approximately the same operative position. In one example shown in diagram Fig. 1 the double-member objective consists of the members Ia, Ib, the focal plane of the combination being at D1, D2. The operative position of the single member II is shown in dotted lines. A constructional form in shown in Fig. 4. The lenses are mounted in a drum e rotatable round a stationary reflecting prism c. In this form there are two double-member objectives, one composed of the dispersive member Ia, and the collective member Ib, and the other of the collective member IIIa, and the dispersive member IIIb, the light passing first through the first-named member of each pair and then being reflected by the hypotenuse surface of the prism c. In this case the two objectives are respectively of less and greater focal lengths than the singlemember objective II, which can be turned about an axis perpendicular to the optical axis into and out of the operative position. Specification 1397/12 is referred to.
