Patent GB-649316-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to variable electrical capacitors
Inventor: HARROLD ARTHUR EDWARD
Filed: 1948-10-08
Abstract: 649,316. Variable condensers. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd. Oct. 8, 1948, No. 26319. [Class 37] An automatically variable condenser comprises an insulating envelope, e.g. of glass or synthetic resin, containing an inert fluid, a tubular part 1 of the envelope containing a pellet 4 of an electrically-conducting liquid, e.g. mercury, whose cross-sectional area equals that of the tube 1, but whose length is less, and one or more metal members 6 adjacent part of the external wall of the tube, and forming one or both electrodes of the condenser. Normally, the pellet 4 with a coaxial conductor 5 forms one electrode, the single or plurality of members 6 forming the other, the capacity in the latter case alternating between a maximum and a minimum several times for each complete passage of the pellet 4 down the tube 1. Alternatively, the conductor 5 may be dispensed with, if two members 6 are used, and the pellet 4 then serves to bridge the gap between them, they being approximately a pellet's length apart, and hence forms in effect two condensers in series. Means, e.g. heating elements 7 and 8, housed in bulbs 2 and 3 respectively, cause differential fluid pressure across the pellet 4 which hence is moved to vary the capacity. The member 6 may be silver coated on the tube 1 or may be a metal sheet, and may be a spiral of varying width. The elements 7 and 8 may be energized by relays 9 and 10 operated by suitable voltages. Specification 610,750 is referred to.

Patent GB-426203-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the manufacture of rubber material in lengths
IPC: B29C33/00
Filed: 1933-09-25
Abstract: 426,203. Rubber threads ; moulding rubber; yarns &c. LANDAU, L., 25, Highbury Place, Highbury, London. Sept. 25, 1933, No. 26404. [Classes 70 and 87 (ii)] [See also Group IX] A mould for making rubber lengths such as threads is comprised by a downwardly extending part of a single continuously-driven endless flexible member or band formed throughout its length with a passage of a cross section corresponding to that of the thread and slit throughout its length from one flat surface to the passage, means being provided for opening or spreading the slit locally to permit ingress and egress to and from the mould. As shown, a band 11 slit at 19 and having a reinforcement 20 passes over rollers 12-15 and the means for spreading consist of two pairs of inclined rollers 16, 17, latex being poured in at A and removed as a thread at B. The latex may be coagulated by wetting the walls of the passage 18 with a coagulant, or, when rubber tubes are produced by providing a hollow stationary metal former depending downwardly into the band to the zone where coagulation takes place, the coagulant may be introduced through the said hollow former. At first, provision is made for preventing the latex from running straight through the band-e.g. the band may not terminate at its lowest point but extend upwardly therefrom, a small quantity of latex being poured into the bottom part and coagulated there before production is commenced. Cores, as of metal and/or fabric or a thread produced according to the invention, may be covered with rubber by being fed through the band. In the case of a multi-layer thread having a wire core the layer next to the wire may be pure rubber-i.e. free from sulphur or other substances having a deleterious effect on the wire. Materials for layers other than the innermost may be chosen for their dielectric or low water - absorption properties. The internal configuration of the band may be such as to produce relief work such as lettering on the issuing thread, and the recesses of this relief work may be filled with differentlycoloured rubber by passing the thread through another band. Mottled effects can be produced by pouring simultaneously into the band latices of different colours. The latex may be natural or artificial, compounded, or processed-e.g. vulcanized or treated so as to produce spongy or porous products. Various shapes of moulds are described.

Abstract: 701,384. Aircraft controls. BRISTOL AEROPLANE CO., Ltd. Oct. 31, 1951 [Nov. 7, 1950], No. 27234/50. Class 4 An aircraft control comprises pedals 17 operating the rudder 12, and a hand wheel 14 operating the ailerons 10a and 10b. As shown in Fig. 1, direct manual control is used, but servo assistance may be employed. Either the controls or the adjustable surfaces operate members 20, 21, so that when the aircraft performs a banked turn to port or startboard, members 20, 21 rotate in the same sense. When the controls operate to produce sideslip, members 20, 21 rotate in the opposite sense, and one of rods 24 hinged to member 20, acts as a stop for member 21, preventing the controls from overbalancing, i.e. becoming aerodynamically urged to maximum displacement. Fig. 4 shows an alternative way of producing a stop by means of levers 33, 34 joined by a slotted link 35, and Fig. 3 shows a method where the axes of members 25, 26 are collinear, and a banked turn produces rotations in the opposite sense links 29, 30 being connected by a balance link 31 which co-operates with a slotted member. 32.
