Title: Improvements in and relating to Tool Holders for Lathes and like Apparatus
Inventor: BOSWELL CECIL ROBERT
Filed: 1902-09-16
Granted: 1903-07-16
Abstract: 20,239. Boswell, C. R. Sept. 16. Tool-holders.-A tool-holder for lathes and like machines is secured in the slide-rest by a shank b or other suitable means, and has an arched frame a to receive two blocks d, each of which carries a tool.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Rice Flour with a view to its Substitution for various Starches used in Sizing and Finishing.
Filed: 1904-07-23
Granted: 1905-01-05
Abstract: 16,351. Soc. Anon. des Rizeries Franþaises. Aug. 1, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Sizes and similar finishes.-In order to render rice flour suitable for making paste or size for finishing or sizing paper, &c , alkaline, neutral, or acid substances are added thereto so that, on boiling the flour with water, the gluten casein which it contains is gelatinized or dissolved. (1) The flour is mixed in the dry state with a small quantity of caustic soda or potash and a sufficient quantity of boric acid to form a triborate with the alkali. When the mixture is boiled with water in the preparation of the size, the gluten casein is rendered soluble by the caustic soda &c., which is neutralized later by the slowly-dissolving boric acid. (2) Dry pulverized hyposulphite of soda is added to the flour, when, on boiling the mixture with water, the gluten casein passes into an extremely swollen condition. (3) The flour is sprayed with lactic acid, which may be replaced by another organic acid, such as tartaric or pectic acid. Mineral acids, such as hydrochloric or phosphoric acid, have the same effect but are not of use industrially.

Abstract: 23,534. Gledhill, A. H. Nov. 1. Receipts, checking and recording.-In autographic cash registers, the drawers are interlocked by sliding bolts having sufficient play to allow of the interposition of one drawer member only, and the corresponding shutters over the record strip are interlocked by similar means or by pivoted wedgeshaped pieces, and effect the feeding of the strip as well as the release of the corresponding drawers. Upon the withdrawal of a drawer, a projection from its rear end engages with and rotates one of the spring-controlled bent levers 5, Fig. 3, about the pivot 6, forcing its opposite end between the sliding bolts 10, which then lock all the other levers against displacement and their drawers against opening. To write upon the strip, one of the shutters 16, Fig. 6, must be slid back, simultaneously rocking the feed-yoke 32 for the strip and lifting the proper drawer spring lockbolt 26 by means of a wedge head 24 on the end of the shutter. Upon the return of the drawer, an incline lifts the bolt until it snaps into a locking- recess. Interlocking of the shutters iseffected either by pins thereon which have to pass between wedge-shaped pivots with small play, or by the parts shown in Fig. 8, where shutter projections 23 co-operate with sliding bolts 10 of the same type as the drawer interlock.
