Abstract: 1,242,298. Mechanical chance apparatus. PHONOGRAPHIC TECHNICAL Ltd. 5 Nov., 1969 [6 May, 1969], No. 23088/69. Heading A6H. [Also in Divisions G4 and G6] A coin or token operated amusement machine comprises a first automatic machine unit of a kind from which the user may win a prize or attain a first prescribed objective, the winning of a prize or the attainment of the first prescribed objective being dependent mainly on chance, a second automatic machine unit of a kind from which the user may win a prize if a second prescribed objective is met, the attainment of the second prescribed objective being dependent wholly or mainly on skill, and electrical and/or mechanical control apparatus interconnecting the two units, the control apparatus being so arranged that the second unit is initially locked out and the user is compelled to use the first unit, the attainment of the first prescribed objective causing the first unit to be locked out and the second unit to become operative. In the preferred embodiment the first unit comprises a fruit machine based on three reels 12 set in motion by handle 13. Prizes in the form of coins or tokens, or credits set up on meter 22 are awarded for certain combinations of symbols, whilst one particular combination of symbols allows the game of skill to be played, the outstanding credits being transferred to this game. Up to two of the reels 12 may be held in the positions resulting from the previous game by depression of buttons 16, to increase the chance of success in the next game.  The game of skill comprises two alternatively illuminated lights 23, 24, the object being to depress button 25 when light 23 is on. The credits displayed by meter 22 are increased following a success and decreased following a failure by an electrical circuit (Fig. 2, not shown) which also animates the display following each success. A sequence of ten successive failures terminates the game. A control is provided by which the player may at any time recover coins or tokens corresponding to the accumulated total of credits.

[Also in Division G1] A bore gauge of the type to be presented automatically to the bore 47 of a workpiece during machining of the bore comprises a plurality of probes 28 each having an adjustable gauging surface 30 which enters the bore when the required diameter is reached, and means 34, 39, for limiting the speed of approach of the gauge to the workpiece. The gauge comprises two pivoted arms 28 each provided with a tungsten carbide ball 30 at one end and a spring 30 at the other to bias the arms into contact with conical surface 24. The gauge is set to the required diameter by rotating conical surface 24 along threaded tube 23 means being provided to lock the conical surface in the required position. The gauge is mounted on a plate 13 which is guided for vertical movement by guides 10, there being a small amount of lateral float of the plate permitted. The plate 13 is raised and lowered by rods 19 having stops 20 which engage a plate 18. The plate 18 carries machinery including a hone 9 which acts on the workpiece, and each time the hone is lowered to act on the workpiece the gauge is advanced towards the bore. As the gauge approaches the bore, the speed is controlled by the action of springs 42 and the action of pistons 39 which are actuated by rods 41 of adjustable length and which expel air or liquid out of cylinders 34 mounted on plate 13 against the resistance of a dash pot 38. If the gauge enters the bore, rod 43 actuates limit switch 44 to stop the honing machine. Stops 22 provided on the rods 19 limit the penetration of the gauge into the bore. The gauge may be arranged horizontally when the gauge is urged towards the bore by springs or pneumatic or hydraulic means.

Abstract: 189,555. Bonner, J. C. Sept. 2, 1921. Railway platforms and stations. - Relates to railway freight terminals where goods are transferred to or from rail preferably in wheeled vehicles referred to as " road-wagons " which are of broader gauge than and are adapted for convevance on railway trucks. As shown, road vehicles, or " road wagons " containing goods for several destinations, enter the freight terminal at 3 and pass over a bridge 4 to the space within an annular turntable 1 and platform 2. The bridge may be replaced by an elevator, or a clear space may be kept on the turntable. The goods are unloaded on to the platform 2 at points corresponding to the different destinations, and are transferred to " road-wagons " on the turntable, 1. The loaded " road-wagons " are hauled over the road-bed, by a dinky-engine running on the connecting tracks, to storage tracks 7 where the loaded " road wagons " are transferred to rail-trucks which enter and leave the terminal at 12. Similar storage tracks 9 serve for loaded " road-wagons " arriving on rail trucks, and these " road-wagons " are taken to the turntable 1 for unloading and sorting different consignments of freight for despatch by road. Road vehicles of wider gauge than the tracks may be used in place of the " road-wagons," the freight itself being transferred to the rail vehicles on the storage tracks. In a modification, the turntable 1 is provided with a single circular track, for rail-trucks or " road-wagons," and a second annular turntable for road vehicles or " roadwagons " may be arranged within the platform 2. In another form of the invention, the turntable 1 is replaced by a stationary annular platform divided by partitions into stalls for "roadwagons " which are hauled to and from the storage tracks by a dinky-engine.
