Patent GB-191121049-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Testing Machinery.
Inventor: DENISON GEORGE HENRY
IPC: G01N3/06
Filed: 1911-09-23
Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 21,049. Denison, G. H. Sept. 23. Testing physical qualities of materials.-Relates to machines of the steelyard type in which an overbalanced weight on the steelyard is employed, counterbalanced by springs, to obtain a diagram. A second steelyard C is provided, thrusting up a strut F to hold up the main steelyard A, and having knife-edges H to carry a plunger I immersed in liquid. The system being balanced with the counterpoise A<1> at the zero position, as shown in dotted lines, the counterpoise is brought to an overloading position, raising as shown the plunger I. On applying stress in the usual manner to the specimen, the fall of the steelyard C gives the stress on the stress-strain recording-apparatus L. To give the maximum stress undergone by a specimen, a light pointer 1 moving over a graduated arc 2 is employed, pivoted co-axiallv with the steelyard C and carried downwards by it until rupture occurs, remaining in its lowest position by friction. For accurately reading the stress, a second arm 3 on the same pivot carries a micrometer 10 to engage the arm 1, the arm 3 having its position fixed during measurement by a sliding tongue 4 engaging accurate notches in the graduated arc. The maximum pointer is gripped in its position at rupture by the electric grip means described in Specification 20,369/10. The pen is removed from the record sheet at the moment of rupture by a spring-controlled rail 5, which is normally held out of action by a solenoid energized by a current through the specimen.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Regulating the Output of Dynamo Electric Machines.
Inventor: TATTERSALL TOM WHITAKER
IPC: H02J7/16
Filed: 1913-01-15
Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 1205. Tattersall, T. W. Jan. 15. Dynamos, regulating. -A dynamo - electric generator a, driven at varying speeds and used in conjunction with a battery f and lamps g, is provided with a shunt and a series field winding b, c opposing each other, and an auxiliary series winding d assisting the shunt winding and connected in series with a resistance e of iron or nickel wire or other substance having a high positive temperature coefficient when heated. When the output from the dynamo is normal, the series windings, which are connected in parallel, balance each other, and the temperature of the resistance c is just below its critical value. Above normal speeds, there is a greater increase of current through the main series winding c than through the auxiliary series winding d, thereby limiting the output to a little above its normal value. The invention is particularly applicable to machines driven from the axle of a vehicle or by the engine propelling the vehicle. The machine may be driven through a one-way clutch.
