Abstract: 7998. Fairweather, W. C., [Kellogg, M. G.]. April 3. Telephonic apparatus.-Relates to a coin-actuated automatic exchange telephone system in which the coin is returned if the wanted subscriber does not reply. On removal of the receiver, the arms 447, 446 move the coin slide 440 so that its lower end rests upon the end of armature 450. On insertion of the coin through the slot 441, it falls and rests upon the armature 450, closing contacts 442-443, 444-445, the closing of the latter contacts connecting the ground G<1> with springs 2, 4 and thus placing the impulse transmitter in operative relation with the line. If the called subscriber is busy, the caller can return the coin by banging up the receiver, the arms 447, 446 removing the coin slide to the left so as to return the coin. If the called subscriber replies, the circuit that supplies current to the microphone is at first completed through contacts 6-7, 8-12, 442-443, polarized. magnet 448, &c., thus energizing the magnet and attracting the armature 450 so that the coin falls and is collected. The fall of the coin opens a contact 442-443, so that the above-mentioned current flows from the line P, through contacts 6-7, 8-12, transmitter, and an induction coil to the line S &c. In a modified arrangement, the coin rests upon a pivoted armature controlled by two magnets, and is returned or collected as one or other magnet is energized. In this case, if the called subscriber is busy, the action of hanging up the receiver energizes the return magnet.

Title: Improvements relating to Vacuum Brake Apparatus for Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: GRESHAM HARRY EDWARD
Filed: 1906-12-05
Granted: 1907-10-03
Abstract: 27,718. Gresham, H. E. Dec. 5. Brakes. -Railway vacuum - brake accelerating- valve apparatus is capable of adjustment so as to give either a rapid full application or a rapid graduated application of the brakes. In the arrangement shown, a cock j is interposed between the brake cylinder, connected at i, and the accelerating- valve a. With the cock in the position shown, when air let into the train-pipe e to apply the brakes causes the valve a to rise and the atmospheric pressure at c to be reduced, the atmospheric air entering by the flap valve d passes into the brake cylinder through the passage h<1> and cock j until sufficient air has entered the vacuum chamber b, past the plug g, to balance the pressure on the diaphragm k, when the valve will fall by gravity. The operation may be repeated, giving a graduated application of the brakes. If, however, the cock j is turned so as to open communication between the chamber b and the cylinder i, atmospheric air flowing past the valve d passes through the chamber b and passage h to the cylinder i, and, as pressure will not accumulate in the chamber b as before, the valve a will not fall until the brakes have been fully applied. The sensitiveness of the valve a is lessened during the full application, by means of a small hole m in the cock, which allows air to leak from one side of the diaphragm k to the other.
