Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Determining or Matching Colours and Shades of Colours.
Inventor: GREGORY VICTOR HERBERT
IPC: G01J3/46
Filed: 1912-07-04
Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 15,678. Gregory, V. H. July 4. Colorimeters; colour filters.-An apparatus for matching and determining colours and shades of colours comprises a number of superposed colour wedges adjustable so that a beam of light passing through them is given various colours and shades by the variable thickness of the separate wedges. In the form shown in Fig. 10, three wedges 1, 1<a>, 1<b>, of red, blue, and yellow glass, are separately adjustable between an aperture 10 through which a beam of light is directed by a mirror 13 and a sight aperture 12 in the case 5. The wedges taper in both longitudinal and transverse directions. The material 19 to be matched is placed on the top of the case and viewed through a tube 18, and, when the colour has been matched by adjusting the wedges longitudinally, the precise shade is determined by adjusting sight apertures 16, 21, Fig. 11, transversely. The wedges may be stepped in one direction, or may consist of containers of plain glass filled with coloured liquid. Fig. 6 shows a wedge consisting of a glass case filled with coloured liquid up to an apex 26<a> which is supported on a knife-edge, the wedge being adjusted by tilting. Fig. 4 shows an annular wedge tapering both radially and circumferentially. Fig. 8 shows a wedge comprising plain glass sheets 37, 38 pivoted at 39, pressed open by springs 43, and containing coloured liquid between them, the angle between the plates being adjusted by a snail cam 46.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Cellulose and the Manufacture of Paper and other Substances therefrom.
Inventor: ARLEDTER HERMAN
IPC: D21B1/34
Filed: 1912-07-09
Granted: 1913-07-09
Abstract: 16,085. Arledter, H. July 9. [Cognate Application, 684/13.] Sizing; pulp, preparation of; pulping- engines.-Cellulose and like pulps are treated in an apparatus similar to that described in Specification 2018/10 in the presence of sulphate of alumina, or of alums, or of sulphate or sulphide of zinc, or of compounds known to have a parchmentizing effect, and are subjected to an alternate evacuation and admission of air, which may be ozonized, or of peroxide of hydrogen, or other oxidizing-agents. This treatment results in the hydrolyzation of the cellulose and the formation of a jelly, which, in liquid form or dissolved, makes a size for paper, cloth, yarn, and the like. If the admission of air is stopped when a certain proportion of the cellulose has been converted into size, the mixture forms a strong-sized paper or parchment paper. The cellulose or like pulp is placed in a cylindrical vessel A, and is circulated by means of a pump H along a pipe J, past a disintegrator N, and down a shoot S back to the vessel. The vessel is evacuated, and the alum &c. to be added is introduced in liquid form through the pipe X and inlets W. The vessel is divided by partitions T into compartments, and the material is diverted by a plate U on to the conical walls of the vessel, which are surrounded by a steam jacket Z. Air is withdrawn from the vessel through a pipe d, and is admitted through the pipe X and inlets N, one or more in each compartment. The valves e, Y, which control the evacuation and admission of air &c., are operated alternately from the cam b. Cocks h, g allow of the introduction of liquid or air &c. into the vessel. The inlets W are so arranged that the air &c. admitted gives a circulatory movement to the contents of the vessel. The bed-plate 0 of the disintegrator is controlled by the head of liquid in a vertical pipe Q, which is connected at its top to a suitable point on the disintegrator casing. If the pulp is in a loose state the disintegrator may be dispensed with. If gases or volatile substances are used, the exhaust from the air - pump is returned through the pipe X into the vessel.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Fluid Pressure Braking Apparatus.
Inventor: WALTER VICTOR TURNER
IPC: B60T13/62
Filed: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 27,386. Turner, W. V. May 16, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Fluid-pressure braking-apparatus of the kind normally operated by straight air is provided also with an automatic train-pipe and an emergency valve which effects an automatic application of the brakes upon a sudden reduction in pressure in the automatic pipe, such as is produced when a pipe coupling bursts or the train breaks in two. The invention is applied to the multiple-unit system, the main reservoir on each car being connected by a pipe 5 to the emergency valve 2, which is also connected to the brake cylinder 1 at 17, and to an automatic train-pipe 4 and a straight-air train-pipe 3. The valve comprises a piston 10 formed with a feed port 19 and connected to a slide valve 12. Fig. 2 shows the valve in its normal position, in which a straight-air application is made by operating the driver's valve to admit air to the straight-air pipe from the automatic pipe, such air then passing through ports 15, 16, 17 to the brake cylinder. The brake may be then released by operating the driver's valve to connect the straight-air pipe to atmosphere. When a sudden reduction occurs in the pressure in the automatic pipe, the valve moves to the position shown in Fig. 3, and allows air to pass from the main reservoir to the brake cylinder by ports 13, 17.

Patent GB-191311394-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and pertaining to Ammunition.
Inventor: HALE FREDERICK MARTEN
IPC: F42C15/295
Filed: 1913-05-15
Granted: 1914-06-15
Abstract: 11,394. Hale, F. M. May 15. Projectiles; projectile fuses.-Relates to shells adapted to be dropped from aircraft and provided with a rotatable fan device adapted to arm the percussion fuse during flight, and consists (1) in adapting the fan, after it has armed the fuse, to become rigid with the shell and thereby to guide its flight; (2) in providing, for additional guidance, fixed helical vanes on the shell; and (3) in adapting the rotatable fan to be normally locked, and to be unlocked automatically on discharge. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the shell comprises a body 1, containing the explosive and shrapnel charges, and a tail 2 containing a fixed firing-pin 8 and a movable detonator 3 which is normally held in the retracted position by balls 4 resting in holes in the sides of the detonator, and pressed into engagement with recesses in the tail 2 by the reduced end of a spindle 6 screwed into the tail 2. This spindle has a pin and slot connexion 12, 13 with a sleeve 11, rotatably secured by pins 14 in the tail 2 and carrying helical windvanes 10. A safety pin 16, which is withdrawn before discharge, prevents rotation of the spindle 6. On discharge, the vanes 10 rotate the spindle 6, which is consequently moved rearwards owing to its screw-thread until it releases the balls 4, and leaves the detonator 3 free to move forward on impact. When the spindle has been withdrawn sufficiently far for the pin 12 to engage the end of its slot, the spindle and therefore also the vanes 10 become rigidly fixed to the projectile so as to guide its passage through the air. A spring catch 9 prevents rebound of the detonator after impact. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the spindle 6 has a screw-threaded engagement with the sleeve 20 carrying the fan 18, and the guiding action of the fan when it becomes fixed is assisted by vanes 17 permanently fixed to the tail 2. The boss 19 carrying the fan 18 has a pin-and-slot connexion with the sleeve 20, which permits it to be forced rearwards against a spring 26 by the pressure of the air on its curved surfaces immediately after discharge, until a recess on its forward end is disengaged from a locking pin 24 in the tail 2, thereby permitting free rotation of the fan.
