Title: Improved Process for the Production of Kinematograph Pictures.
Inventor: THORNTON JOHN EDWARD
IPC: B61L3/04
Filed: 1912-02-17
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 4044. Thornton, J. E. Feb. 17. Chromo - gelatine and like processes; kinematograph picture films.-In producing kinematograph films without using silver sensitive salts, the images are of any desired colour and are formed in pure dye or lake of such dye. The base of celluloid, cellulose acetate, gelatine or paper is coated with a thin substratum layer of gelatine and then with a colloid layer which is sensitized with bichromate. The film is printed by exposing it for a lengthened period to a light of high actinic but low heating power. The unaltered bichromate salts are washed out with water, and the reduced chromate salts removed with sodium bisulphite, or sulphuric acid. The film is then treated with a dye which is chosen according to whether a negative or positive film is required, and which stains the soft unexposed gelatine or the hardened exposed gelatine as the case may be. The image is then fixed with a mordant which also precipitates the dye as an insoluble lake. Solucions of chrome alum, copper sulphate, ironalum, tannin or tartar emetic may be used. After drying, the film is given a protecting- coating of varnish, celluloid, or gelatine, and is subsequently perforated. For the different processes in preparing the film, apparatus such as is described in Specifications 26,997/11, 3384/12, 12,230/12, and 14,433/12 may be used.

Abstract: 18,954. Gardner, J. Aug. 22. [Cognate Applications, 20,006/14 and 24,787/14.] Relays, non - circuit closing; microphones.- A magneto-microphonic relay for use on railways &c. comprises coils wound over the poles of a permanent magnet and connected to a source of alternating or pulsating current, and a reed mounted with its free end adjacent to the magnet and carrying one electrode of a loose-ball or like microphone, the variation in the mean resistance of the microphone causing a relay magnet in a local circuit to be energized or de-energized for operating a signal. As shown in Fig. 1, insulated track rails 10 supplied with alternating current are connected to the primary coil 8 of a transformer, the secondary coil 7 being connected to the windings 3 on the poles of a permanent magnet 1, the position of which on the base 5 may be adjusted by a screw 4. The reed 11 is secured to a post 13 and is tuned to the required frequency by an adjustable mass 20. An electrode 14 secured to, but insulated from, the reed 11 has a series of pockets in which rest carbon balls 34 or other suitable variable resistance, the opposite electrode 15 being secured to a bracket 16. The microphone 14, 15 is connected as one arm of a wheatstone bridge, having a battery 24 and a relay coil 27 coupled across the diagonals of the bridge. When the coils 3 are energized, the vibration of the reed 11 increases the mean resistance of the microphone 14, 15 and, by disturbing the balance of the bridge, energizes the coil 27 and closes a contact 33. When the primary coil 8 of the transformer is short-circuited by the wheels and axles of a train standing on the rails 10, the relay coil 27 is de-energized and the signal controlled by the contact 33 moves to the danger position. In a modification, the wheatstone bridge is dispensed with, and the relay 27 is connected as a shunt to the microphone circuit. In other modifications, the electrode 14 is spring-mounted on the reed 11, and the magnet 1 is secured to a vibratory arm parallel to the reed 11. In a further form, Fig. 5, the vertical magnet-supporting arm 46 and the reed 11 form the arms of a tuning-fork, which is itself supported on a flat steel spring 54, and the electrode 15 is carried by a bracket 48 attached to the arm 46.
