Granted: 1912-02-26
Abstract: 30,018. Peucker, K. Dec. 24. Carpets; designing woven fabrics.-Relates to a method of producing maps &c. in stereoscopic relief, based upon the fact that different colours upon a plane surface when seen binocularly appear to be at different distances away. The relief effect sought is obtained by printing in (1) a series of pigments passing from white to black through the shades of grey, (2) a series of graduated tones of the same colour, and (3) a series of different colours ranging from red to blue in the order of the spectrum. Fig. 2 shows a scale of fifteen colours for a relief map, in which the colours to be employed and the corresponding heights are shown side by side. According to this scale, it will be seen that the most elevated parts of the map are shown in pure red, and, as the elevations to be represented decrease to sea level, the representing colours pass from red, through orange yellow and green, to grey. More limited colour scales are shown in Figs. 2<a>, 2<b>, and 2<c>. The Specification is accompanied by a coloured map, and illustrations of suitable colour scales. The Provisional Specification mentions also the application to carpets.

Abstract: 1036. Watson, E. A., and Morris & Lister. Jan. 14. Rotary distributors. - A timing-device for use with an influence machine for ignition purposes consists of a disk f carrying terminals r, the position of which with regard to the terminals s of the machine is altered by rotating the disk. The terminals s are carried by the rotating case d of the machine, and for a four-cylinder machine the terminals r are arranged in two pairs at different distances from the shaft, the two terminals s being placed at corresponding radii. Actual contact between the terminals r and s is unnecessary, and in the construction shown, a small air-gap between the terminals allows a discharge to pass across. The Provisional Specification describes also a rotatable timing-disk made of insulating-material, mounted concentrically or otherwise in relation to the rotor plates, and having a metal plug passing through it edgewise so as to complete a circuit by discharge across an air-gap to a stud in the external casing of the machine.
