Title: Improvements in or relating to Drawing "Squares" or Triangles for Calculating and other Purposes.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1899-03-08
Granted: 1899-05-13
Abstract: 5088. Boult, A. J., [Farini, P.]. March 8. Squares; protractors; scales.-A drawing-square, which may have a semicircular aperture cut out and graduated as a protractor, and a scale along its hypotenuse, has its dimensions such as to allow various calculations to be performed practically and graphically; for example, describing a square equal in area to a given circle or ellipse, finding the straight line equal to the circumference or arc of a circle, &c. The square A B C is constructed so that the projections of the sides upon the hypotenuse A B are respectively A D = 2r, B D = r#/2, from which it follows that the perpendicular C D = r ##. The perpendicular is therefore the side of the square equal to the area of the circle whose diameter is A B or 2r, and B D is the length of a quadrant of that circle. In making the instrument, # is taken correctly to five places of decimals.

Title: A Method of Marine, or Land, Night Signalling.
Inventor: CAWLEY GEORGE
Filed: 1900-12-11
Granted: 1901-04-20
Abstract: 22,521. Cawley, G. Dec 11. Signals, lamp.-Relates to a system of lamp signalling, for use in night signalling between ships, or between a ship and the shore, or on land, lighthouses, forts, &c. Three electric, gas, or other lamps D, F, F are employed, each furnished with an internal revoluble screen, which enables the lamp to show a white, a red, or a green light, or to be entirely obscured, as required. The lamps are mounted on a suitable telescopic or other stand, such as I, A, so that they can be raised above surrounding obstructions, the base b being adapted to be fixed to a deck, socket, or tripod, &c. The stand may also be formed with hinged or other joints, to enable it to be adjusted to the vertical position on irregular ground, or on a rolling ship &c. The lamp D is fixed on the pin C at the top of the stand, and is provided with a shutter H, which is normally held open by a counterweight h<1>. The lamps F are pivoted on the ends of the arms E, revolubly mounted on the pin C, and may be weighted to keep them upright. Behind the arms E is fixed a disc G, Fig. 9, for indicating the position to which the arms E should be moved for any particular signal. Signalling is effected according to a numerical code. The numerals 1 to 8 are transmitted by the fixed lamp D and one of the lamps F, by moving the latter to the positions indicated by the corresponding numerals on the disc G. The numeral 9 is transmitted by exhibiting the three lamps D, F, F in vertical order, and the cipher 0 by the three lamps in horizontal order. At the termination of each signal indication, the lamp D is " blinked twice by means of the shutter H, and a similar reply is returned from the receiving-station. To call attention, the three lamps all show white light, the lamps F, F being slowly revolved while the lamp D is continuously " blinked. " The " Negative" signal is made by a single red light from the lamp D, and the "Affir- " mative " signal by a single green light from the same lamp. For code sentences, no preparatory signal is required. When the vocabulary is to be employed, the preparatory signal consists of three red lamps in vertical order. For the geographical sectional code, three red lights in horizontal order are shown. For the names of R.N. ships, the preparatory signal consists of three lamps, in horizontal order, showing respectively red, white, and green, in the order named. For the official numbers of merchant ships, three horizontal lamps show white, red, and white respectively. Instead of the apparatus described, a frame of nine electric or other lamps may be employed, the lamps being arranged in the frame so that all the indicating positions can be shown by switching on or off, or obscuring, the proper lamps.

Title: Improvements relating to Printing Electric Telegraphs.
Inventor: HEIMERDINGER JOSEPH EMANUEL
Filed: 1901-04-30
Granted: 1902-03-27
Abstract: 8890. Heimerdinger, J. E. April 30. Drawings to Speciftcation. Telegraphs. -Relates to a system of printing- telegraphs in which the signal key for each character sends a predetermined combination of + and - weak and strong currents. At the receiving - station two selector relays operate numbers of series of selectable magnets by which the particular printing-magnet is selected, and on the closure of this circuit the printing is effected and the apparatus restored to its normal condition. At the transmitting-station, keys similar to typewriter keys are arranged so that their rear portions pass over series of contacts, and the front portions of the keys when depressed bear on a common contact-bar arranged in the local circuit. The rear contacts are connected to members of a series of four relays, the contacts of which are connected to battery and line, each relay being arranged to send a current of a peculiar character, such as a strong +, a weak -, &c. At the receiving-station, the signal currents pass to earth through two relays, one of which is polarized and the other only excited by strong currents. By this means the components of any signal are sorted out to the members of four electromagnet switches. The armatures of these switches are arranged by means of locking-devices and spring contacts to co-act with the armature of a second magnet, arranged in a shunt circuit so that the printing-circuit remains broken until the predetermined combination has been completed, when the local printing-circuit through one particular printing-magnet is closed. By the action of printing, the paper is fed and the local circuit is broken, so that the selecting-arrangements are returned to their normal positions. In a modified arrangement of the selecting-devices, the common shunt magnet is replaced by four magnets connected in series with the four selectable magnets and also arranged in circuit with the several battery contacts of the groups of spring contacts. The locking-devices and the spring contacts are also modified to suit this alteration.

Abstract: 10,402. Caink, T. May 20. Sewage &c., treating bacteriological processes; filtering.-In a sprinkler for use in connection with bacteria beds &c., a fine spray is obtained by causing the liquid to issue through two orifices, which approach each other, as shown in diagram 1, so that the issuing jets may impinge. The holes may be cylindrical or conical, and may be drilled directly in the delivery tube or formed in a separate piece fixed therein. Another part of the invention relates to the distribution of the holes in the delivery tube so that equal quantities of liquid may fall upon equal areas. In diagram 2, A represents a curved portion of the delivery pipe with centre F, and B represents the line in which the water discharged from the pipe meets the ground. This line is concentric with the curved portion A. Lines C, at right-angles to the straight portion D of the pipe and at distances apart equal to the pitch of the holes in this straight portion, intersect the line B, and from the points of intersection lines E are drawn to the centre F. The intersection of the lines E with the curved portion A gives the position of the delivery holes.
