Patent GB-190807588-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Self Indexing Ledgers.
Inventor: PERRINE JOHN BAKER
Filed: 1908-04-06
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 7588. Perrine, J. B. Oct. 21, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Indexing.-In a loose-leaf indexed ledger in which the broadest division is shown on projecting tabs, and in which the primary subdivision is obtained by intermediate sets of leaves with steppe edges, further subdivision is obtained by inserting between any pair of leaves of the primary subdivision, sets of other similarly stepped leaves, of which the shortest portion removed from any leaf to form a step is at least as long as the longer of the portions removed from the two primary subdivision leaves between which they are placed. In this way, the indexing by the secondary subdivision sets does not interfere with that of the primary subdivision sets, the markings of the secondary subdivision set not being visible till the requisite page of the primary subdivision set has been turned up. Similarly tertiary and other sets may be inserted between any pair of the secondary subdivision leaves on the same plan. Fig. 6 shows the spread-out edges of part of the book comprised between two of the tabs a of the series showing the broadest division. The leaves A to which these tabs are attached are used as transfer sheets to receive a record when an account kept on one of the stepped leaves of the book is closed and the sheet withdrawn. The leaves B, C, D form the primary, secondary, and tertiary subdivision sets. To facilitate the detection of missing pages, the leaves of the primary subdivision sets, and if desired of the supplementary sets also, are alternately of different colours.

Patent GB-190916241-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Speed Indicators for Ships.
Inventor: COTTON LEO ARTHUR
IPC: G01P5/17
Filed: 1909-07-12
Granted: 1910-05-26
Abstract: 16,241. Cotton, L. A. July 12. Logs. - Relates to speed indicators of the Pitot-tube type, wherein the pressure of water in the tube is transmitted, through a pipe 9, Fig. 1, containing air, to one arm of a mercury manometer tube 1, the other arm of which is connected by a pipe 8 to a pressure balance tube immersed at the same depth as the Pitot tube, so as-to compensate for differences in the depth of immersion of the latter. Surging of the mercury is prevented by throttling-plugs in the connecting-pipes below water-level and by a constriction in the lower bend of the manometer tube, and the indications of the manometer are electrically transmitted to a recording-apparatus R. A pointer 6 projecting over the speed-indicating scale 7 is adapted to be moved by means of a threaded rod 3 provided with a milled head 4. The height of the mercury in the manometer tube determines the uncovered length of a fine resistance wire 11, and consequently the resistance of a circuit 14, 16 containing the recording-apparatus R, which comprises a solenoid acting upon a sliding armature connected to a lever carrying a pencil which marks a record on a moving strip. The Pitot tube 18, Fig. 9, which passes through the side 27 of the ship, is provided with a sharpened edge at its mouth, as shown at 20, and contains a throttling-plug 24, which may be removed for cleaning after a stop valve 26 has been closed. The pipe 9 may be drained of water by a cock 23, a stop valve 22 being previously closed. The pressure balance tube is provided with similar fittings, and its mouth is cut off at a small angle to the horizontal, so that the pressure of water into it due to its motion through the water compensates for the suction of the water crossing its mouth. In a modification, instead of the mouth of the balance tube being cut off at an angle, the tube is arranged to swivel about its horizontal part, the angle at which the mouth is set being indicated by a pointer and dial.

Abstract: 18,022. Peiseler, G. Aug. 4. Files and rasps.-In a feed-motion, for file and rasp cutting machines, for obtaining "stag- "gered" rows of teeth, the cam 7, Figs. 1 and 2, of which the halves are formed as archimedian spirals, conveys motion by linkage 9, 22, 21, 11 to a chain 12 operating the claw-shaped work-slide 14. A spring 23 attached by a chain to the work-slide is adjustably supported by a pivoted lever 27, which carries a brake disk 28 operating on an eccentric 29 fixed to the cam shaft 6. This device ensures a more constant tension of the spring and a more constant moment on the shaft 6. The member 22 can be moved by hand-operated worm gearing along one arm of the double-armed lever 11. The shaft 6 is driven by pawl and ratchet gearing 4, 5, the ratchet wheel being adjusted on the shaft so that, as shown, the feed at the end of a row is the difference between three-quarters and a quarter of the usual feed. A templet 31 of varying thickness may be employed toalter the disposition of the teeth.
