Patent GB-191216926-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Carburetters for Internal Combustion Engines.
IPC: F02M9/06
Filed: 1912-07-20
Granted: 1913-07-21
Abstract: 16,926. Brown, C., and Brown & Barlow. July 20. Spray carburettors.-The fuel-nozzle comprises a tube a having a longitudinal slot a<1> and an orifice in its base through which the fuel is sprayed without the use of primary air, the air entering the carburettor at the side of the tube remote from the slot, and the mixture leaving at the side facing the slot; loss of fuel through the air-orifice is thus prevented. The carburettor shown in Fig. 3 has two D-slides b, b<1>, which control respectively the admission of air and the passage of fuel through the slot. The latter also acts as a throttle for the mixture outlet. Portions b<3>, b<4> may be cut away at the lower ends of these slides to form a decreasing passage from the air inlet to the mixture outlet which acts as a choke-tube. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the lower ends of the slides are recessed as shown, to avoid excessive suction on the jet when they are lowered. An aperture b<2> is preferably provided on the throttle slide for slow running, and there may be a similar aperture on the air-control slide.

Title: Improvements in the Elevating Gear of Gun Mountings.
IPC: F41A27/24
Filed: 1913-01-31
Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 2604. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Johnston, F. G. D. Jan. 31. Dash-pots. - Consists in providing ordnance elevating - gear of the screw type with a dashpot, which absorbs shocks due to the sudden stoppage of the gear, but does not yield to heavier shocks due to the recoil and run-out of the gun. The lower end of the elevating- screw a is provided with a cylinder b, within which is a piston g loosely fitting between collars e, f on a rod c, which is connected at t to an arm p of the guncradle. When, as in the construction shown, the elevating-gear is arranged in front of the cradle trunnions, the piston g is formed with radial grooves i in its upper surface, and is pressed upwards by springs j. The piston is normally centred in the cylinder b by springs k. During elevation, the liquid in the cylinder has free passage past the piston g, and the dash-pot absorbs shocks due to sudden stoppage of the gear, but when the gun recoils, the downward pressure on the piston overcomes the springs j, and forces the piston on to the collar f, thereby cutting off communication between the two ends of the cylinder and preventing the gun-sights from being thrown off the target. A fluid reservoir m is connected with the cylinder b by a passage l in the rod c.
