Patent GB-189923968-A (GB)
Title: The Manufacture or Production of New Anthraquinone Dye-stuffs.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1899-12-01
Granted: 1900-10-20
Abstract: 23,968. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Dec. 1. Dyes, artificial.-New acid dyes, which dye wool in acid baths from red to greenish-blue shades, are produced by acting upon amidoanthraquinones, or amido-oxyanthraquinones or their sulphonic acids with formic aldehyde solution and a solution of a sulphite or a bisulphite in presence of a small quantity of hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid at the ordinary or a higher temperature. It is probable that methyl-sulphonic groups (-CH2SO3H) are thereby introduced into the amido groups. Examples are given in which 1 : 5-, 1 : 7-, and 1 :8-diamidoanthraquinones, p-diamidoanthrarufin, mixtures of isomeric diamidodioxyanthraquinone monosulphonic acids obtained from dinitroanthraquinone by treatment with sulphur and fuming sulphuric acid, and diamidoanthrarufin disulphonic acid are thus treated.

Abstract: 2668. Forknall, T. Feb. 10. Platen presses.-Relates particularly to means for oscillating the platen. The platen A is mounted on a rock shaft A<1> having an arm B with a pin and roller B' engaging a cam slot C<1> in a lever C pivoted at D. The lever C is connected by a rod E to a shaft F<1> on the pivoted frame F of the type bed G. On the shaft F' is a two-armed lever L connected by a rod H to the crank-pin on the wheel J<2> by which the frame F is rocked. The other arm of the lever L is connected by a rod M to the shaft D. The shape of the cam slot C', shown in Fig. 1, is such as to give a dwell to the platen at the printing position, but the cam slot may be shaped as shown in Fig. 3, to give a dwell to the platen at both ends of its movements. This last arrangement is suitable for hand feeding.

Granted: 1901-12-21
Abstract: 2418. Noble. K. D., and Irving, J. Feb. 5. Water-tube boilers.-Relates to boilers with concentric water and flue tubes, as described in Specification No. 4831, A.D. 1895, the invention being stated to be applicable also to evaporators and other heat-exchangers. The front and back headers B, C extend upwards, and are traversed by the steam drum D, with which they communicate by means of holes as shown.

Abstract: 13,548. Miller, R. G. June 14. Brakes.-Relates to hand - applied brakes for railway wagons or other vehicles. The brake blocks a, Fig. 1, are connected by bars d to arms e on a transverse shaft f, and an arm h on this shaft is connected by a link j to an arm k on a short transverse shaft m mounted in brackets n. Another arm o on the shaft m is connected by a link w to an arm y on a transverse shaft z provided with a hand-lever 3 at each end. The link w is connected to the arm o by a pin u, Fig. 3, and a slot v allowing a slight relative motion.
