Title: Improvements in or relating to the programming of magnetic tapes
Inventor: GRASHAM DONALD EDWARD
IPC: G11B15/68
Filed: 1962-03-16
Abstract: 938,238. Selective magnetic tape players; associated slide-changers. U. S. MITCHELL, and A. R. MYERS. March 16, 1962, No. 10243/62. Class 40 (2). Endless tapes 46 in cassettes 14, stacked in a frame 13, are selectively advanced into driving engagement with a stack of driving capstans 58 and a stack of playback heads 64-69 by solenoids 31-36 operating bars 22-27, each cassette containing its own pinch-roller 47, head-pressure guides 51, tape-return guide 50 and anti-spill brake 53, the size of the cassette outline 14 determining the operation or not of switches 61 controlling the speed of the driving means 63 for the capstans 58; rejected cassettes are returned by springs 57 and may be interchanged in the frame 13 by removing nuts 38. Each tape contains a number of selections spaced by periods of silence sufficient to operate a delay circuit 79 (Fig. 5, not shown) in a control circuit, Fig. 4. The end of any selection on any one tape therefore operates. a stepping- switch 104, the tape continuing to successive selections until the wiper 106 reaches a contact 107 connected to a closed switch 107 whereupon a reset coil 117 resets switch 104 and a second stepping switch 108 operates to energize the next-selected of the cassette-selecting solenoids 31-36, an equal number of selections then being played from the corresponding tape. A longer delay 119 may be switched into circuit to operate the switch 108 should the output from any tape fail through malfunction. In an arrangement (circuit, Fig. 6, not shown), for use with automatic slide changers working in association with a recorded sound commentary, a sub-audible tone is recorded with the commentary and gaps in the tone, after frequency-selective amplification, operate a delay similar to Fig. 5, whose output operates the slide changer mechanism.

Title: Process for the manufacture of embossed screens
IPC: G03B21/602
Filed: 1955-04-07
Abstract: 766,052. Embossing. GRETENER, E. April 7, 1955 [April 9, 1954], No. 10322/55. Class 100(2) [Also in Group XX] A reflecting projection screen is made of a number of embossed strips 4, Fig. 1 each strip being produced from metal foil with a highly reflective surface by embossing it with a stamping die which extends across the entire width of the strip, the strip being advanced between successive strokes of the die so that successive embossments are adjacent. The embossment consists of a series of concave rectangular depressions the curvature across the width being greater than that along the length. One, or as many as three rows of depressions may be stamped at each stroke, the strip being advanced a corresponding distance between strokes. For accurate screens one row only is stamped at each stroke as shown in Fig. 3. The embossing die 21 co-operates with an anvil 23 and holding down members 25, .26 are provided on each side co-operating with lower members 27, 28. The holding down members prevent distortion of the strip during the stamping process and do not engage the strip with sufficient pressure to emboss it. A screen as shown in Fig. 3 reflects light at right angles to the screen surface but it may be desired to have the light reflected at an angle to the screen surface. In this case as shown in Fig. 4 the members 27, 28 are arranged one below and one above the level of the anvil 23 so that during the embossing stroke a step is formed on one side of the depression as shown in Fig. 4a. The light is now reflected at an angle 33 to the surface of the screen 31. If it is desired that this angle should change across the width of the screen, the holding members are gradually adjusted in height as the strip advances. Specification 766,051 [Group XX] is referred to.

Title: Controlling the feed and retraction of the electrode in a spark-machining unit
IPC: B23H7/18
Filed: 1978-03-15
Abstract: The piston rod (8) of a feed drive (7) supported in the machine frame (2) carries an infeed drive (13) guided on the machine frame and having the electrode (16). The feed drive (7), infeed drive (13) and a hydraulic clamp (18) fitted between the piston rod (8) and the infeed drive (13) are connected to the pressure network via control valves (20, 22, 24). To reset during the operation, the feed drive (7) is moved into the desired end position by the admission of pressure to the infeed drive (13) via a valve (22). Jumping of the electrode (16) during starting is avoided here by a flow-regulating valve (32) to which pressure is admitted before starting and by a restrictor (34) in the feed (28). The synchronisation with the control of the control valve (22) is taken care of by its process computer. Since this device only needs one guide, it is simpler and more accurate compared with known devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 721,309. Radar; frequency discrimination. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. March 18, 1953 [April 24, 1952], No. 10376/52. Classes 40 (5) and 40 (7). A frequency discriminator comprises a nuclear resonance coupling system. The output from a radar receiver 2 at its intermediate frequency is fed to a coil 3 to produce a high-frequency magnetic field HI in the X direction in a specimen 4 of high' nuclear gyromagnetic ratio. A non-uniform  magnetic field HO constant with time threads the specimen in the Z direction. Outputs thus produced in coils 5, 6, having axes in the Y direction are opposed so that echoes from fixed targets are eliminated by prior adjustment of the strength of the field HO, but moving targets produce an output signal at 7 due to Doppler frequency shift. The coils may be side-byside with the field HO non-uniform about the plane P separating them or on a common former on opposite sides of the specimen, with the field HO non-uniform about the axis of the coil 3, Figure (not shown), accompanying the Complete Specification. A nuclear resonance coupling device may be used to provide accurate frequency control by automatic regulation of the input to the coil 3. Water is a suitable substance for specimen 4 because of its hydrogen content.

Title: An arrangement for dividing the frequency of a train of periodically recurring pulses
IPC: H04J3/04
Filed: 1953-04-17
Abstract: 750,316. Pulse frequency dividing and distributing circuits. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. April 17, 1953 [May 30, 1952], No. 10575/53. Class 40 (6). In a circuit in which a gate allows a pulse from a train of frequency nf to be passed to a delay line having n-sections, a control circuit is connected to the tap at the end of each section and is arranged to'close the gate to prevent further pulses entering the line. The pulse in the delay line opens a gate at each tap to pass a pulse of the original train to separate lines. The first pulse II of a train I, Fig. 2, applied at terminal A to cathode follower ROV, Fig. 1, passes down the delay line 1 of a length equal to the period of the lower recurrence frequency output, arriving at the points B1 ... B6 at the time of occurrence of succeeding pulses. Transformer secondaries U1 .. U6 are arranged in the grid circuits of cathode followers R01 ... R05, the common primary being fed from the pulse source. To the distorted pulse III 1 , appearing at B1 is added a pulse from the input train so that a wave IV 1  appears on the grid of normally non-conducting valve RO1 and causes a pulse V, to be fed out from the cathode. In the absence of an input, rectifier GL1 is held non- conducting since U1 is greater than U2, the first pulse passing to valve ROV substantially unattenuated. When the next pulse occurs, the flow of anode current in valve RO1 lowers the point P sufficiently for rectifier GL1 to conduct, offering a low impedance path to the pulse train. This process continues until the sixth pulse is reached, the anode connection of valve RO6 having a separate load resistor R6 so that the rectifier is unbiased and another input pulse is fed to valve ROV.
