Patent GB-190703389-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Pneumatic Run-out Gear for Heavy Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
Filed: 1907-02-11
Granted: 1908-02-11
Abstract: 3389. Dawson, A. T., and Horne, J. Feb. 11. Mountings.-In addition to the usual hydraulic system employed for running-out the gun, a compressed-air system is provided, which normally remains inoperative but is readily brought into operatioin if the hydraulic system should break down. The liquid is first drained from the hydraulic system when the compressed-air system is to be used. Cylinders D for compressed air are secured to the non-recoiling slide frame C and communicate with the run-out cylinder A by means of a passage a. A hollow ram B works in the cylinders A, A', and is fitted with a spring- loaded valve b adjusted so as to prevent escape of air through it at the end of the recoil stroke. Compressed air is supplied to the cylinders D through a valve d<3>. A stop valve d' is opened to bring the system into operation. During recoil, air from the cylinder A is forced past the spring- loaded valve d<1> to the cylinders D ; it then returns slowly through a passage d<x> in the valve d<1> to the cylinder A to return the gun to the firing position. When acting hydraulically, the valve E controls the passage of liquid to and from the cylinders A, A<1>; the valve F prevents shockwhen the gun returns to battery ; and the valve b opens during recoil.

Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 11,397. Bethisy, L. L., and Fouchard, L. F. July 12, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901). Cellulose ethers; alcohols; glucosides.-For the nitration of cellulose, a mixture of 24 kilos of nitric acid at 42‹ BÚ. to 56 kilos of sulphuric acid at 66‹ BÚ. is made and cooled to 30‹ C., and 5 to 6 kilos of cellulose are added. The tetranitrocellulose resulting is separated from the liquid, and passed through a rotary stirrer and into a tank, where it is treated with water. After pulping in a rag-engine it is bleached, all but 40 to 45 per cent of the water is removed, and about 5 per cent of a liquid hydrocarbon such as essential oil of aspic is added. Water is then expressed, and the mass is converted into a paste with a solvent consisting of crystallizable acetic acid 8 parts, sulphuric ether 200 parts, acetone 200 parts, amyl acetate 150 parts, alcohol 150 parts, and a 10 per cent solution of unona selanica 82 parts. The last named is a new solvent for nitrocellulose, and is obtained by extracting the bark or leaves of the ash, sorben, aspen, apple, pear, cherry, thistle, nettle, &c. with boiling water containing 1 per cent of albumen. Lead acetate is then added to precipitate the unona selanica, which is a polyhydric alcohol and a glucoside derivative. This is dissolved in sulphuric ether, and the mixture is stirred and filtered, and the solution is then added to a well-stirred mixture of ether, acetic acid, and acetone. The amyl acetate is poured in, the pulverized pulp is.added, and the mixture is allowed to stand and is then stirred. The preparation of unona selanica &c. is added, the mixture is again left to stand, and is then stirred, and finally the alcohol is added. The mass is again well stirred, and the resulting paste is left to stand for 24 hours in a warm place, and rolled between heated rollers and then between cold ones, the following substances being poured upon it, namely : (1) a mixture of boracic and sulphuric acid and calcium alcoholate, in order to convert the nitrocellulose into an ethoxy derivative of the nature of tetranitrooxycellulose, and (2) ammonium sulphocyanide, to neutralize the acids. The product is used as a substitute for celluloid, and may be used in the form of sheets, bars, &c., or as collodion.

Abstract: 286. Eisenstein, S. Jan. 4. High-frequency oscillatory discharges, producing. -In a method of producing a continuous train of electro-magnetic waves for wireless telegraphy and telephony, an alternating-current generator, such as a Duddell arc 1, supplies current having a frequency that exceeds the highest tone percep'ible to the ear through the transformer 5 to a second vibration-circuit 7 having a mercury-vapour or other spark-gap 8 of the kind in which a voltaic arc is not formed in spite of rapidly-succeeding discharges. The frequency of the vibration circuit 7 is made an exact multiple of that of the circuit 2, and its damping is such that the discharges occurring at the gap 8 during the currentmaxima of the vibrations in the circuit 2, produce separate vibrations overlapping each other, so that a continuous train of vibrations of great amplitude is produced in the manner described in Specification No. 5354, A.D. 1907.
