Title: Improvements in hinges for motor-car bonnets and similar structures
IPC: E05D7/00
Filed: 1931-02-21
Abstract: 374,050. Motor vehicle bonnets. CRANFORD MANUFACTURING CO., Ltd. and CLARKE, J., Alma Street, Soho, Smethwick, Staffordshire. Feb. 21, 1931, No. 5500. [Class 79 (iii).] In a hinge for a motor vehicle bonnet formed of sheet metal panels hinged together, the hinge knuckles of each panel are formed from a region of metal disposed inwardly from the edge of the blank from which the panel is formed, the metal outwardly of this region being formed into a continuous flange or web extending along the entire length of the panel, this flange being so disposed that when the two panels are hinged together and are closed or normally positioned for use the adjacent faces of their respective flanges make contact with one another. The Figure shows the hinging edges of two panels according to the invention, before they are assembled by placing a pin through the knuckles; the edge of the sheet is bent back upon itself to form a tube, out of which parts are then cut to leave knuckles, and the doubled part is then bent again at right-angles and then back upon itself to give the final form shown. The abutting faces of the flanges may be covered with rubber, leather or other compressible material to form an effective watertight seal.

Title: Memory control logic systems
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1976-02-12
Abstract: 1484235 Memory paging; fault handling INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 12 Feb 1976 [20 March 1975] 05513/76 Heading G4A In a storage system comprising a plurality of units, e.g. sections 1 to 4 of a high speed buffer 11, Fig. 1, which are used in a random sequence, a binary code reflecting the most recent order of use of the units is stored in a chronology array 15 and is updated, 16, in response to use of a unit, and if any units are eliminated from the system because of faults, the binary code is modified so that a first part identifies the eliminated unit and a second part indicates the most recent order of use of the remaining units. The invention is described generally as applied to a buffer 11 and address array 12 using a four-way set-associative technique in which each buffer section has a location for each page of a book of backing storage, a corresponding page of any book being placed in the appropriate page location in any section of buffer 11. The identity of the book from which a page comes is placed in the corresponding section of address array 12 at the same location within that section as the page location in buffer 11. A request on bus 10 interrogates all four sections of address array 12 and the book identities read out are compared at 13 with the requested book address to determine if the page is present in buffer 11. If the page is present, signals S1 to S4 indicate the buffer section in which the page is located and enable the appropriate read gate 14 to pass the accessed word from buffer 11. At the same time chronology array 15 is accessed at the appropriate page address and the usage code therein is updated at 16 and re-stored. If the page requested is not in buffer 11, a decode circuit 17 determines the least recently used (LRU) section for replacement. For a four-section buffer, the usage code is 6 bits indicating usage of section 1 before sections 2, 3, 4, section 2 before sections 3, 4, and section 3 before section 4. Certain code combinations are regarded as being invalid since they would result in "closed loop" interpretation of usage sequence. In the event of one or more sections of buffer 11 or address array 12 being withdrawn from service, a maintenance control (21, Fig. 2) forces a particular one of the "invalid" codes from a failure mode LRU decoder 22 instead of the normal code from the decoder (19). It is arranged that 3 bits of the "invalid" code represent the identity of the withdrawn sections and the other 3 bits of the code represent the order of use of the remaining sections. A further decoder (20) indicates error if the usage code is not among the set of normal and error mode codes. Details of the decoder circuits and different coding strategies are given.

Title: Improvements relating to controllers for electrically propelled vehicles
IPC: B60L15/20
Filed: 1952-03-07
Abstract: 705,462. Controllers for electrically propelled vehicles. WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE & SIGNAL CO., Ltd., SIMMONS, A. W., and SHATTOCK, C. F. B. Nov. 24, 1952 [March 7, 1952], No. 5987/52. Class 103(1) In a controller for electrically propelled vehicles provided with electrically controlled and automatic pneumatic braking apparatus, an operating member when moved from its " off position through one pre-determined range effects the supply of electric power to the vehicle motors and when moved through another pre-determined range effects the operation of the electrically controlled brakes, in which the movement of the operating handle 3 of the controller to an emergency application position establishes communication between the brake pipe of the automatic pneumatic brake and atmosphere, thus effecting an emergency application of the brakes. Mounted on shaft 1 is a cam 2 having a projecting portion 15, and the operating handle 3. When the operating handle 3 of the controller is moved to the left of the " off " position, the shaft 1 and cam 2 rotate and the power supplied to the traction motors of the vehicle is controlled. When the operating handle is rotated in an arc on the other side of the " off " position, the electro-pneumatic brakes are controlled. At the extreme end of the latter arc is the emergency application position in which the cam 15 operates through valve stem 8 to open the spring loaded valve 14 and thus establish communication between the brake pipe through port 12 and atmosphere, thus effecting the emergency application of the pneumatic brake. Thus in the event of a sudden failure of the electric supply to the electro-pneumatic brakes, the driver can immediately make an emergency application without resorting to his pneumatic driver's brake valve. Other means of effecting the opening of the valve 14 are described and illustrated in the Specification.

Title: Improvements in and relating to record-changing apparatus for gramophones or like talking machines
IPC: G11B17/02
Filed: 1932-02-23
Abstract: 399,184. Magazine gramophones. GARRARD ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING CO., Ltd. and MORTIMER, E. W., Newcastle Street, Swindon. Feb. 23, 1932, No. 6150/33. Divided on 399,172. [Class 40 (ii).] Relates to record-changing devices in magazine gramophones of the kind in which records are held in a pile above the turntable on movable supports, from which they are released singly and allowed to fall on to the turntable. According to the invention, the record supports consist of two or more platforms, each provided with a blade rigidly connected to it and spaced therefrom, the arrangement being such that as a record is released by movement of the platforms the blades intervene to afford temporary support for the remaining records of the pile. In the machine shown, the records are threaded upon a removable extension 1 of the turntable spindle 2, and are supported peripherally by three platforms P, each of which is mounted on a hub 12 attached to a spindle 5a by a pin-andslot connection. The platforms are shaped as shown, one only being shown in plan in Fig. 1, the records normally resting on a portion 7 which is at a greater distance from the spindle than a cut-away portion 8. A knife blade 9 formed in one with the platform, or secured to the spindle, protrudes over the portion 8, the blade being spaced above the platform a distance approximating to the thickness of a record. The platform spindles are connected by bellcrank levers 10 and links 11, so that they may be rotated in unison. When the platforms are thus turned anticlockwise, Fig. 1, through a small angle, the bottom record drops through the clearance provided by the cut-away portions 8. At the same time, the blades 9 move into position to support the remainder of the pile, the supports subsequently being returned to their normal position in which all the unplayed records are held up by the platforms P. Tc provide for records of two different sizes, the platforms P and blades 9 are of duplicate forma. tion, protruding on either side of the spindles 5a to suitably different extents. The pin-andslot connections of the hubs 12 to the spindles allow them to be raised and turned through 180‹ when required, to enable either end of the record supports to be used, according to the size of the records. The rotary movements of the platforms are effected by means of a spring-controlled lever 43, connected to one of the bell-crank levers 10 and co-operating with a cam 42. This cam is mounted on a shaft 23 carrying a cylindrical cam 19, which controls the necessary movements of the pick-up or sound-box carrying arm 13 in the manner described in Specification 399,172. The cycle of operations which occurs when a record is to be changed is initiated when the reproducing needle moves rapidly inwards at the end of the playing of a record, by the mechanism described in the aforesaid Specification, which also describes various other features of the machine herein described. Specification 350,426 is referred to in the Provisional Specification.
