Title: Improvements in or relating to Signalling Apparatus for Use on Railways.
Inventor: DOVAY-EDWARDS FRANK
Filed: 1900-02-21
Granted: 1900-05-19
Abstract: 3419. Dovay-Edwards, F. Feb. 21. Signals on engines; indicators and repeaters, signal; contacts, electric.-An inclined block c is fixed by bolts &c. to the rail a, in the path of the movable plunger n, p, mounted preferably on the guard m of the engine. A second striking- block e is pivoted near the rail, between the block c and the ordinary signal, and is connected to the signal-operating lever through the rods &c. i, k, j, so that, when the signal is lowered, the block is moved into inoperative position, as shown in dotted lines, but, when the signal is at 'danger,' the block is in position to engage the plunger n. The movement of the plunger by the fixed block c causes the contact-piece r on the lever q to complete the circuit s of a bell or other alarm on the engine, so giving a warning signal to the driver. A similar operation is effected by the block e, when the ordinary signal is at ' danger,' and the driver then stops at the ordinary signal. If a signal is not received from the block e, the driver is free to proceed.

Abstract: 7796. Hooley, E. P. April 3. Asphalt paving. -Relates to the "tarring" of broken slag, macadam, &c. for road - making purposes, foundations, tar concrete, &c. The coating-.material consists of tar, pitch, Portland cement, and resin. The tar is placed in the mixer a and is gradually heated by means of the steam coil a<1> to a temperature of about 212‹ F. The other ingredients are added, and are thoroughly incorporated with the tar by means of the mixing- arms a<2>. The coating-mixture passes to the reservoir c, also steam-heated, and is supplied in graduated quantity by means of a valve d' to a trough e from which the supply pipes e<1> proceed. The stone &c., broken in the crusher f, is gauged by a revolving screen f and passes down vibrating shoots f<2> to the steam-jacketed mixing-chambers g, which can be adjusted to any desired inclination. Helical blades g<3> mix and convey the materials, which are discharged at g<6>. Surplus coating-material drains off through the grating g<4> and is discharged at g<5>. Slag, broken while hot from the blast furnace, is preferably employed in the manufacture of the material, drying being thus rendered unnecessary.

The arms e are hinged to the back and to their uprights f, which are pivoted to the bar g. On the rails a are dovetail projecting bars i, on which slide blocks having inclined lower ends. The angle of the back is adjusted by sliding the blocks up or down, and the blocks are held in place by pins m passing through holes n in the blocks and in the strips i. The pins are held in place by pivoted springs o, which are turned over the pin helds when the pins are in position. A rack, &c., may be used in place of the pins and holes.
Patent GB-190222833-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Purifying Casks, Milk Churns and other Receptacles.
Inventor: MACARDLE JOHN ST PATRICK
Filed: 1902-10-20
Granted: 1903-10-15
Abstract: 22,833. Macardle, J. St. P. Oct. 20. Churns &c., cleaning.-Milk churns and other receptacles are cleansed and purified by apparatus such as that shown in Fig. 1, which shows an arrangement adapted for casks. A water pipe g communicates with a cylinder a through a threeway cock k and an elbow or bend of the common pipe h. Depending into the cylinder from the pipe h is a pipe l removably attached to the cylinder. At the lower end of the pipe l is a device to split up the stream of fluid coming into the cylinder. This consists of a solid or hollow cone m having one or more ribs 1 and screwed to the end of the pipe l. Surrounding the cone is a sleeve n, forming a space through which the fluid passes. By this arrangement, steam may be admitted under water in the cylinder without causing undue noise or vibration. A steam pipe i also communicates with the common pipe h, and beyond the pipe i is a redncing-valve o. A pipe u connects, through a valve t, the upper part of the cylinder with the pipe h. The lower part of the cylinder is, through a valve p, connected with the pipe h and a pipe q provided with nozzles r adapted to enter the bung holes of the casks. Steam is first admitted to the casks through the reducing-valve o, valve t, pipe h, valve p, pipe q, and nozzles r, to soften the solid or organic impurities. Water is next admitted from the pipe g to the cylinder a, the air in the cylinder being allowed to escape through a vent cock y. Steam is then admitted into the cylinder through the pipes h, l until the water is raised to the required temperature, the water being then forced into the casks through the valve p. The valve k being shut off, and the valve t opened, the steam which remains within the cylinder passes into the casks. The casks are then removed and dried by heated air. In applying the invention to milk churns, the churns are first preferably treated with cold water at a high pressure, then with low-pressure steam, and finally with boiling water and high-pressure steam, the apparatus being, if desired, modified to facilitate this. To purify the heads of casks and lids of churns, these are supported in a chamber while being operated upon.
