Patent GB-191209610-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Mechanical Piano Players and like Instruments.
Inventor: LANGCHESTER FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1912-04-23
Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 9610. Lanchester, F. W. April 23. Expression controlling.-In a pneumaticallyplayed piano, an accenting-pneumatic controlled by perforations in the music sheet serves normally to emphasize the melody, but when the instrument is to be used for purposes of accompaniment the device may be switched over to control a throttle in the main through which the striking-pneumatics are exhausted, whereby the melody is suppressed. The tube k, Fig. 1, is connected to exhaust under the control of the accenting-pneumatic, and when the valve o is in its upper position, connecting the tubes k, j, the accenting-pneumatic controls a valve g for connecting the main exhaust pipe b directly to the main n<1>, n, l to the striking-pneumatics. By means of a handle, the valve o may be shifted to connect the tubes k, p, and the accenting-pneumatic then serves to operate a throttle-valve q, so that the melody is subordinated. A reducing-valve or governing-device may be brought into action instead of the throttle q. A construction of throttle valve is shown in Fig. 2. When suction is admitted to the tube p, the diaphragm s seats the valve r, leaving no passage open except the leak t. In another construction shown in Fig. 4, the valve r is double-seated and serves to close all communication, except a leak passage, between outer and inner chambers which are connected to the incoming and outgoing pipes. The diaphragm s is somewhat larger than the diaphragm u. The leak passage may be controlled by a screw or plug passing through the wall of the outer chamber.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Forming Gear Teeth by Rolling.
Inventor: ANDERSON HAROLD NAPIER
IPC: B21H5/02
Filed: 1912-08-07
Granted: 1913-11-07
Abstract: 18,205. Anderson, H. N. Aug. 8, 1911, [Convention date]. Rolling wheels. - Driving-mechanism is employed which maintains absolute equality of the pitch-line velocities of the blank and master gear during the whole operation. For rolling gear teeth in one form of machine, a master gear in the form of a rack is employed. Roughing and finishing racks 120, 121 are mounted upon a reciprocating carriage 62 so as to be transversely and vertically adjustable. A rack 68 also connected to the carriage engages a pinion 41 keyed to the blank-spindle 31, thus giving the correct rolling motion. The carriage is connected by levers 76 with a guide-slot 80 which causes the carriage to be lowered at one end of the stroke; this brings the rack and blank out of gear and, by making one or more of the end teeth of the rack 68 vertically displaceable, the blank may be made to engage a different part of the rack at the next stroke and thus minimize errors. The blank-spindle 31 is adjustable vertically by nuts 34 geared together and the blank is clamped in position by a plate 48, a screwed sleeve 49 facilitating removal. In a modification, a machine similar to that described in Specification 557/11 is employed, but the blank-carrying plate is pivoted about an axis passing through the pitchpoint of the driving wheels to ensure constant depth of enmeshment.

Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 18,018. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T., (acting for Western Electric Co.)]. Aug. 7. Telephonic repeaters; telephone systems. - Relates to the construction of an artificial line simulating the electrical properties of a telephone line which is loaded with inductance at regular intervals along its length. In the artificial line net-work shown in Fig. 2, the inductance L0 and capacity C0 are calculated as functions of the inductance and capacity of each section of the line, and of the ratio of the distance from the end of the line to the first loading-coil, to the length of a section of the line. It is shown that these quantities can be calculated so that the network simulates the electrical properties of the lines for ordinary frequencies when the distance from the end of the line to the first loading-coil is one-fifth of the length of a section. To compensate for a longer end distance, capacity C, and resistances R1, R2 are added. The resistance R0 is calculated so that the net-work simulates the capacity of a section. The artificial line may be used as a balancing-line in a telephone repeating system.
