Abstract: 26,390. Herbert, F. Nov. 29. Casting and moulding.-A foundry plant for the vertical moulding and casting of pipes consists of a series of parallel lines of rails a carried on pillars x crossed at rightangles at their ends by rails b on a lower level. Two lines of rails a lead to and from two ramming- machines c, c, so that, after the boxes, have been filled and rammed, they are moved along the rails to the crossrails b on a bogie. They are transported from this to the passages a which are dried by gas jets s, and thence on to a rail f where the cores are inserted and the metal is run in from a ladle g, which can be transported on rails q. The bogies are next pushed on to a turntable h, and by it are turned on to a rail i on which the moulds cool, so that at j the cores may be removed and at m the tube may be removed. The bogies may then be transported along the rail b back to the ramming- machine, while the cores are moved along the rail n to a core shop o with core stoves p. A modification of the above is shown in Fig. 4, where three parallel lines a occur, two of which are used in conjunction with rammers c. The bogies are transported to transverse rails where cooling, insertion of cores, and running-in of metal take place, the tubes being withdrawn at m; the moulds are then pushed by hydraulic rams on to the rails a again. Sand is conveyed to the ramming-machines by endless conveyers z from the sand mills z<1>. The pipe boxes are made in two parts slidable on the axles u, the parts being held together in a vertical position by cotters. When the bogie frame is self-contained and adjustable for moulding - boxes of different sizes, as shown in Fig. 8, the parts of the boxes are slidable on bolts w which may be at right angles to the axles. Specification No. 26,786, A.D. 1905, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Sodium Cyanide
Inventor: TCHERNIAC JOSEPH
Filed: 1908-12-08
Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 26,581. Tcherniac, J. Dec. 8. Cyanides.-Sodium cyanide solution obtained by passing gases containing hydrocyanic acid into caustic soda is purified from excess of the latter and from any sodium carbonate present by the addition of hydrocyanic acid and alkaline earth, preferably as slaked lime, in such proportions that the sodium hydroxide and carbonate are converted. into cyanide, and calcium carbonate is precipitated. If sodium sulphate is present, baryta or strontia are added, preferably after filtering from the calcium carbonate. Evaporation at a low temperature and subsequent cooling yield pure sodium cyanide crystals, which may be dehydrated by confining them, together with solid caustic soda, in a vessel either made vacuous or in which the contained air is continuously circulated over the crystals and alkali. A strong solution of the latter results and is suitable, after dilution if necessary, for the production of more cyanide. The dehydrated cyanide, in the form of crystals or laminµ, is compressed to form a tough elastic product. To avoid evaporation of the cyanide solution, hydrocyanic acid gas may be passed into moderately strong caustic soda solution until nearly saturated, strong caustic soda being then gradually added while still passing the gas. The solution is then purified and cooled, whereupon sodium cyanide crystallizes out.
