Patent GB-190827470-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Insulated Line Wire Cables for Telephone Circuits and the like.
Inventor: SMITH WILLOUGHBY STATHAM
Filed: 1908-12-17
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 27,470. Smith, W. S., and Granville, W. P. Dec. 17. [Cognate Application No. 4376, A.D. 1909, dated Feb. 22.] Drawings to Specification. Resistances, inductive. Flexible inductance coils for use in long telephone lines are made by winding soft-iron wire round a number of insulated conductors and then covering the iron wire with another layer of insulated conductors; the ends of the inner and outer conductors are then coupled at both ends so as to form one or two distinct windings round the iron core. To avoid the necessity of coupling the two sets of conductors at both ends, the inner wires may be bent back so as to serve also as the outer wires. Such coils may be formed by making a long cable as described above and then cutting it up into short pieces, and, if the coil is for use in a cable containing more than one telephone circuit, a pair of straight-through conductors for each extra circuit is provided amongst either the inner or the outer conductors. If the coils are used in a single-conductor cable, the ends of the coil are joined to the single conductor ; if the cable contains two conductors, a two-coil inductance unit is used ; if the cable contains more than two conductors, the various conductors are connected to the ends of the windings and to the ends of the straight-through conductors respectively, in turn, in successive inductance coils in the cable.

Patent GB-190921484-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Advertising Apparatus.
Inventor: BETT JAMES MURRAY
IPC: G09F11/29
Filed: 1909-09-20
Granted: 1910-09-20
Abstract: 21,484. Bett, J. M. Sept. 20. Reel and web apparatus. - Advertising and other matter is carried on a series of spring roller blinds 2, Fig. 1, detachably supported on endless chains 1, each blind being pulled down and displayed by hooks 33 seizing the blind-rods 27 in succession. The spindles 26 of the blinds are secured to the chains by detachable brackets 25, and the blind-rods are held in spring jaws 29 on these brackets, the jaws being opened by cams 32 just before the hooks are to take hold of the rods. The apparatus is operated by a pair of continuously-running chains 21 carrying between them a length of chain which effects the several operations in the apparatus. This chain depresses a lever 16 to give the blind-carrying chains 1 a step-by-step movement, operating the upper sprocket-wheel 3 through a rod 9 and pawl - and - ratchet mechanism 5, 7, and at the same time bringing a lever 10 into the path of a ratchet 6 connected to the lower sprocket-wheel 4 to prevent overrunning. The chain also serves to operate the drums 34, 36 on which the bands 35 carrying the hooks 33 are wound. The drums are connected by bevel-gearing, and are held in a fixed position by pawls 43,60 and ratchets 42, 48, released by studs 46 projecting from the side of the chains. A tooth is removed from the sprocket-wheels, as shown in Fig. 7, to ensure a clean entry for the chains, and guides 69, 70 are also provided. A blind 38, Fig. 1, wound on a roller 71 is secured to the bands 35 so that it is unwound when the advertisement is being changed. The advertisements may be displayed through a transparent mirror, which is backed with a sheet of glass for protection, and a front or back set of lights may be switched on or off automatically according as an opaque or transparent picture is being displayed. To effect this, switches 86, Fig. 8, are arranged on either side of the apparatus and connected with the two sets of lights. Lengths of rod are screwed to the blind-rods and operate either switch as the blind is being unwound. To prevent the blinds from flapping with the wind, they are drawn down over a sheet of glass 82, Fig. 1, with a convex surface, or a plain sheet of glass may be set slightly forward for this purpose. The drums 34, 36 carrying the bands 35 are adjusted on their spindles by means of the slots 96 and bolts 95, Fig. 8.
