Title: Improvements in and relating to Steam Boilers and Fire-boxes therefor.
Inventor: MCCLELLON JAMES MERCER
IPC: F22B13/12
Filed: 1910-09-30
Granted: 1911-10-30
Abstract: 22,676. McClellon, J. M. Oct. 1, 1909, [Convention date]. Fire-boxes are constructed with the side and end walls formed of contiguous flexible sections arranged so that no expansion takes place in the direction of the length of the series of sections, but only transverselythereto. As shown applied to a locomotive firebox, the side walls 4 consist of sections 5, of which the plane adjoining sides are riveted by two rows of rivets 8, 8<a> not exposed to the fire. To prevent distortion by pressure, the inner and outer sides are made e convex, the inner side 6 being more convex than the outer side 7. Nipples 9 connect the sections to allow the water to circulate. The sections are closed at the top and bottom by riveted cups, 10, 30. The crown is composed of a central drum 33, and side drums 35 connected to the side sections by nipples 37. The drums adjoin throughout their length with the exception of the portions that enter the tubesheet 47, which is formed with spaced elliptical apertures 45 so as to leave sufficient material to form flanges 49 to be riveted to the drums. The tube-sheet is provided with a flange 51, which is riveted to an expansible throat - sheet 56 secured to the barrel 2 and mud-ring 50. The front of the fire-box is composed of taper sections 19. Short sections 24, closed by cups 25, are arranged under the middle drum to leave an opening 23 for the fire-door. Nipples 27 allow circulation between the sections above the fire-door, to prevent burning-out.

Patent GB-191112660-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Systems for Operating or Controlling Time-indicating Devices.
Inventor: ARON LEONARD JAMES
IPC: G04C13/04
Filed: 1911-05-25
Granted: 1912-06-25
Abstract: 12,660. Aron, L. J. May 25. Electric clocks. - In a system in which secondary clocks are controlled by two or more master clocks, each actuating-impulse is obtained from one or another of the master clocks, the arrangement being such that an effective impulse from one master clock prevents the transmission of a corresponding impulse from the other clocks. Fig. 1 illustrates a system in which there are two transmitters 1, 2, adapted to send current impulses in alternate directions through secondary clocks 7, 8. The master clocks 1, 2 are preferably synchronized so that the rotating contact-arm 24 of one clock is always slightly ahead of the similar contactarm 25 of the other clock. Assuming that both clocks 1, 2 are working correctly, when the arm 24 engages with a contact-member 17, an impulse is transmitted through the system from one section of a battery 3. At the same time, the current passes through the coils of relays 9, 10, throwing over the magnetized arms 14, 15 so that switches 16, 20 are opened and switches 18, 21 are closed. Thus no impulse is obtained when, soon afterwards, the arm 25 of the clock 2 engages a contact - member 22. The next effective impulse in the opposite direction occurs when the arm 24 makes contact with a member 19, the arms 14, 15 being then returned to their original positions, and so on. If the clock 1 fails to make proper contact at any time, the relays 9, 10 are not operated as above described, and the clock 2 thereupon comes into action and continues the working of the system. In another arrangement, applicable to systems in which the secondary clocks receive successive current impulses either in the same or in alternate directions, each master clock comprises, in addition to a rotating arm and co-operating contact-members, a switch controlled by a dashpot. When one of the master clocks transmits an effective impulse, all such switches in the system are actuated, and remain open for a sufficient time to prevent any of the other master clocks from sending corresponding impulses. Fig. 3 shows another modification in which the contacts effected by the master clocks 1, 2 are controlled by a pivoted weighted arm 32, which is set into one or other of its two positions on the contacts 33, 34 and 35, 36 by means of electro-magnets 12, 13. Normally, the clock 1 alone sends impulses, but in the event of its failure, the clock 2 continues the working of the system. This arrangement may be modified to utilize impulses alternately opposite in direction to operate the secondary clocks.
