Title: Radio landing beacon systems
IPC: G01S1/02
Filed: 1940-08-21
Abstract: 543,229. Directive wireless signalling. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. Aug. 21, 1940, No. 13288. Convention date, Oct. 11, 1939. [Class 40 (v)] A radio beacon for guiding aircraft to a landing comprises two antenna systems producing two independent radiation patterns defining an approximately straight line landing trajectory in a vertical plane. One of the antenna systems may also produce overlapping guide signals in a horizontal plane. The curve A, Fig. 1, is the usual curve of constant intensity produced by a transmitter 10, the latter part h<SP>2</SP> of the trajectory being too gradual. The additional transmitter 11, spaced from transmitter 10 in the direction of aircraft approach and mounted below the surface at the desired landing point, produces a radiation pattern B, such that a substantially rectilinear constant-signal intensity path C is obtained, which the aircraft follows to the landing point. The transmitters 10, 11 may be energized alternately with the same carrier frequency, Fig. 2, or simultaneously with different carrier frequencies, Fig. 4, the receiver on the aircraft responding in each case to the average of the two signals. In the system shown in Fig. 2, the main transmitter has two antennae 21 producing overlapping guide signals differently modulated by condensers 251, 252 driven by motor 25. The carrier-frequency generator 22, modulated by landing signals from 23, is connected alternately by switch 28 to the main transmitter 21 and the auxiliary transmitter 26. Energy received by a small aerial 201 from the transmitter 26 is rectified and causes a relay 203 to close the circuit of the main generator 22, so that if the transmitter 26 fails the main transmitter 21 is also put out of action. The aircraft receiver may have separate meters responding respectively to the landing signals from 23 and the direction signals from 251, 252. In a modified beacon the main and auxiliary transmitters 40, 41, Fig. 4, are simultaneously energized by different carrier frequencies modulated by the same landing signals. Auxiliary receivers 43, 45 control the transmitters so that if either fails the other is put out of action.

[Also in Division D1] A spinning &c. spindle comprises upper and lower portions 3, 2 (Fig. 4) and a brake having elements 14a radially co-operating with whorl 10 of the upper portion and which, in their braking and normal positions, engage a collar 17 of the whorl to prevent accidental removal of the upper portion, but which, in a third position, release the collar, the brake elements being guided for horizontal movement and against vertical movement in a casing 7, 8 clamped from below against a flange 6 of the portion 2 and enclosing the flange 6 and collar 17, but allowing the portions 2, 3 to project. In Fig. 1, the braking elements each take the form of an arm 14 pivoted at 13 and having a shoe 15. A spring 18 tends to urge the arms apart and into engagement with projections 20 on a slide 21 with a downturned end 24 shaped for the hand or knee of the operator. The slide and arms can occupy three positions, in the first two of which the arms engage the flange 6 and retain the upper part of the spindle. In the first position, Fig. 1, the brake is inoperative, the slide being retained by the engagement of detents 29 depending from the cover with the inner ends of apertures 28 in the slide. In the second position, the slide is pushed to the left and the brake is applied, the detents being out of engagement with the sides of the apertures. In the third position, the slide is pulled to the right, so that the cover is deformed, and the apertures move to the right of the detents, the spring so far separating the arms that they are clear of the flange 6. The movement; of the slide is guided by recesses 22 engaging members 23 and by pins 27 moving on guides 26. Covermembers are provided between adjacent casings 7. In another form, Fig. 9, not shown, the spring 18 is arranged between the slide and the base-plate of the casing and the slide-is connected to the brake elements by pivoted links, while the elements are held in their central position by projections thereon engaging recesses in the inside of the cover. In Fig. 10, the slide 21 is biased to the right by a leaf-spring 61 and operates brake elements 39, 40 by members 41, 42 and 47, 48, the latter two being centrallypivoted. The brake may act on the inside of the whorl.
