Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Sounding the Depth of Water.
Inventor: HAVENITH JOHN
IPC: G01C13/00
Filed: 1909-10-30
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 25,013. Havenith, J. Oct. 30. Sounding-apparatus. - A weight K is attached to a line 0 wound round a winch N at the fore-end of the ship and a grooved pulley A, the line having a trailing float Z, which creates a constant tension on the line, so that, when the winch is allowed to rotate freely and the weight to descend, the pulley A rotates in a clockwise direction, giving an indication on the scale W until the weight reaches the position K' on the sea bottom vertically, below the pulley. The revolutions of the pulley give a measure of the depth. A stop on the line, arranged to contact with a spring R, prevents shock at the moment when the weight strikes the bottom. An eyelet at X guides the line as it is unwinding.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Acetylene Gas Generators.
Inventor: ALLEN THOMAS GASKELL
IPC: C10H9/00
Filed: 1909-11-06
Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 25,661. Allen, T. G. Nov. 6. Regulating head of liquid directly. -In an automatic acetylene or like generator for use on vehicles, or for portable or domestic use, the water inlet consists of two surfaces a<1>, b<1>, Fig. 1, of such dimensions as to form an extended inlet, and held so tightly together that water can only ooze through under a head of water in excess of the pressure it is necessary to maintain at the burner. The water passes in such slowly moving and minute quantities that an immediate and exact regulation of the water is produced by the slightest tendency to back pressure. In the form shown, the surfaces form part of conical vessels a, b, but may be of spherical, parabolic, or other shape. The inner part a acts as the carbide-holder, and the outer part b carries the eduction pipe c although this may be brought out from the bottom. The pressure of the gas at the burner is regulated by the depth at which the generator is held beneath the water, determined by a clamping-arrangement f, and the variation of the head of water may be compensated for by attaching the generator to a float. In a form suitable for vehicles, the gas is led off through a pipe m, which telescopes on a pipe n, and is sealed by the water; or the telescopic tube may be dispensed with, and a tap and union fitted in the pipe m. The gas passes into a condensing- chamber l<1> below the water-tank.
