[Class 87 (ii)] In a machine for moulding a pressed and perforated, and if desired, channelled brick, tile, block or the like comprising a mould, wherein one wall, such as the base, is a perforated plate 2 and the opposed wall is a movable pressure head 8, perforating elements 14 adapted to pass through the plate 2, and common driving-mechanism for the head 8 and perforaters 14 such that the brick is perforated while under pressure, the perforated plate 2 is maintained stationary during the pressing operation. The plate 2 carries the end plates 11 of the mould whereas the side plates 10 are carried by a ram 12 fixed on the pressure head 8. The perforating elements may be in the form of tubes and are carried on a block 13 reciprocated by rods 15 having rollers engaging cam grooves 17 in discs 18 on a main shaft 3. The head 8 is reciprocated by links having rollers engaging cam grooves in spur-wheels 4 on the shaft 3. The spurwheels 4 mesh with pinions on a power-driven shaft. A " green brick or plastic material may be fed to the mould by a shoot, conveyer, ram or a pusher operated by links from an eccentric 19 on the shaft 3. The pressed bricks may be ejected from the mould by feeding a succeeding " green " brick so as to push them on to an endless conveyer or shoot. The perforating elements may engage countersinks in the ram 12. The cam grooves may be so arranged that the ram is moved into pressing position and then held there while the perforating elements are moved up, or both the ram 12 and block 13 may be moved simultaneously. The mould may be of any desired contour which may be modified by lining blocks or strips. Large blocks formed in the machine may be subdivided by cutters such as endless wires moving at high speed and passing through cleaning baths or between brushes or scrapers. The machine may include a number of moulds. Channels may be produced by perforators acting upon the edges of the brick. The material may be fed to the mould by a conveyer the parts whereof in succession form a stationary false base for the mould, guides being provided for a lead-in. According to the Provisional Specification, the front and rear sides of the mould may be slotted to receive the conveyer and the front side may be movable, as by raising, for delivery of the brick. The side may be moved by lost-motion mechanism connected to the pressure head.

In a magnetometer, He<SP>4</SP> atoms are excited to the 2<SP>3</SP>S 1  metastable state, radiated with pumping resonance radiation from an He<SP>4</SP> lamp 10 to cause alignment of said atoms in said metastable state and subjected to an r.f. field to change the alignment of said atoms, and an infrared detector 38 (e.g. an avalanche photo-diode) generates an output signal in response to scattered resonance radiation. As shown in Fig. 1, a polarizer 40 may select only the # or # component of the scattered resonance radiation. Two detectors, Fig.2 (not shown), may respectively detect the # and # components, which are of opposite polarities, and the difference of the detector output signals is formed to produce a differential signal in which noise is substantially cancelled. In another arrangement, Fig. 3 (not shown), the detector is arranged on the optical axis (18) and crossed polarizers (54, 56) are provided to prevent an absorbed resonance radiation from reaching the detector. Three identical systems may be disposed along orthogonal axes.

A toy comprises a track which is constructed as a mountain railway and is provided with places for stopping and releasing and/or reversing the direction of travel of vehicles on the track in which a starting track passes into a known toothed ascending section leading to descending tracks running downwards back and forth, the last of which leads back into the starting track. A casing 3 supports mountainous tracks 5, 6 and 7. The track comprises a downhill starting track leading to an uphill toothed driving track 4. Ascending track 14 and sections 17, 18 connect with descending sections 12, 15 and 16. The vehicle traverses the track from the end of track 4 to the connecting track 8 under gravity. The ends of tracks 7 and 14 and sections 15 to 18, have turning points 13, 19 and 20 at which the direction of the vehicle reverses. Ramps 21 direct the vehicle to the descending track. A vehicle at turning point 13 depresses one.,arm of a two-armed lever 22 pivoted beneath the tracks and raises the other arm 23 from. a cam 25 on a vehicle 24 arrested by the lever at the point 20 to allow the latter vehicles to continue along the track. A plate 2 bearing the forked tracks' 1 and 8 is hinged to the casing 3 for folding thereunder for package or transport. The end of the plate rests on a support 10 to tilt the track so that a vehicle on the plate runs to the track 4.

Abstract: 188,202. Linotype & Machinery, Ltd., and Parker, T. B. G. Nov. 4, 1921. Stereotype, finishing. In machines for finishing curved stereotype plates, of the kind described in Specification 27031/13, in which the plates are conveyed through the machine by reciprocating fingers moved into and out of plate engaging position respectively during their active and idle strokes, improved means are provided to prevent movement of the fingers into operative position if the plate is inaccurately positioned on the runway. As shown in Fig. 2, which is a plan of one side of the machine, a trip lever 9, in line with the runway along which the plate 7 is moved, is fixed to a shaft 10. To the shaft 10 is also fixed an arm 11 carrying a block 12 which is normally held by a spring in position to be engaged by the trail piece 17 of the plate traversing finger 4, at the end of the idle stroke of the finger-carrying bar 3, to turn this finger into the operative position shown. If a plate is positioned to the rear of its correct position it depresses the trip lever 9 and consequently the block 12, so that the latter is out of the path of the tail piece 17 and the finger 4 remains in the inoperative position.
