Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 27,758. British Thomson-Houston Co., Garton, E., and Watson, A. H. St. C. Dec. 2. Systems for conversion, employing rotary converters. - The frequency of the alternating current supplied from direct-current mains through a rotary converter A is maintained constant by means of a Tirrill regulator, which is employed in connexion with an exciter C and a pilot generator B driven proportionately to the converter shaft. The coils b, c, f of the regulator are connected directly across the machine B, and the coil g, which opposes the coil f, is connected indirectly across the same machine through floating contacts on levers h, k. A rise of voltage of the machine B due to an increase in speed of the set, and therefore an increase in the frequency of the alternator side of the converter causes the coil b to pull up its core and separate the floating contacts. The coil g being thus de-energized, the coil f closes the relay contacts e and short-circuits the exciter field resistance R. The resulting increased voltage of the exciter enables a coil d across it to neutralize the coil c and allow the floating contacts again to touch, whereupon the coil g is energized and the contacts care separated.

Filed: 1913-11-01
Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 24,897. Wood, J. G. Nov. 1. Photomechanical printing-surfaces.-In the preparation of photo-lithographic printing-surfaces, a sand-blasted or grained plate is coated with bichromated gelatine or other colloid and then with an acid-resisting transfer ink. The ink is applied with a printer's composition roller so that more ink is deposited on the tops or raised points of the grained plate, owing to the fact that these tops or raised points receive, more pressure from the roller. In printing from the negative, only the very transparent parts of the negative are printed at these raised points and, in this way, on subsequently developing and preparing the plates for printing, the tones of the picture are broken up into a grain of varying texture or-density.

Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 27,163. Wasson, F. A. May 12, [Convention date]. Retrievers and arrestors for collectors.-A trolly retriever comprises a fluid-pressure motor, of which the piston is connected to the usual spring- controlled pole or boom, and the fluid-pressure supply controlled by a valve member whereby the pole may make small movements, but .upon any sudden large movement, fluid-pressure is admitted to the motor and the collector retracted. In the construction shown, the trolly pole 1, pivoted at 2 and controlled by springs 8, is connected to the piston 10 of the fluid-pressure motor 9 which is connected through passages 13 and three-way cock 33 to the fluid-pressure reservoir. The admission to the motor is controlled by a valve having two pressure areas 21, 29 normally separated by the engagement of the valve with the seating 18 under the action of the spring 22. The cylinder is open to the air through passages 17, 27, 28, whereby small movements of the pole do not operate the valve. The passages 27, 28 are however insufficient for sudden large movements, by which the valve is forced against the seating 24 and fluid-pressure admitted to the cylinder from the passageway 13. The collector is then retracted to a safe position, the outward movement of the piston being retarded by suitable cushioning-means. A suitable cusbioning-device, which forms the subject-matter of the divided Specification 9970/14, comprises a flange 35 secured to the end of the cylinder so as to form a pocket or dash-pot within which an extension of the piston passes towards the end of its stroke. The trolly pole may be lowered at any time by pulling on the rod 32, and the pole is reset, after being retracted, by means of the three-way cock 33.
