Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Systems for Power Transmission.
IPC: H02P7/34
Filed: 1908-05-13
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 11,339. Alleremeine Elektricitõts-Ges. May 13, 1903, [Convention date]. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power.-In an electric power-transmission system, the speed of the working motor is rendered independent of the current by providing the starting- generator with an auxiliary field winding, energized by an exciter with a field coil shunted across a resistance in the main circuit. The exciter 7 supplies the fields 3, 6 of the motor 1 and the starting-generator 4 respectively. The exciting- circuit includes a switch 10 for controlling the working motor 1. The auxiliary field 12 of the generator 4 is connected to a machine 11, shown on the same shaft as the generator 4, but which may be separately driven, and which has a field coil 13 connected in parallel with the resistance 14. A resistance 15 is connected in the circuit of the field coil 12, and is regulated by the controller 10. As the motor current increases, the excitation of the auxiliary machine 11 increases, thereby increasing the current through the field coil 12 and raising the voltage of the generator 4. The resistance 15 may be connected in circuit with the field 13. During retardation, the motor 1 acts as a generator, and the electro-motive force of the auxiliary machine 11 reverses, so that the current in the coil 12 weakens the field of the starting- generator. When the latter machine is reversed by the controller, the current in the field coil 12 is also reversed.

Abstract: 23,331. Harris, J. Oct. 8. Roasting-furnaces. - A mechanical ore-roasting furnace is divided into vertical sections which can readily be put out of action for repairs, and is provided with means for passing the gases from one section into another so that a section, that has been cooled for effecting repairs, &c., may be reheated. Dust - chambers communicating by valved openings are arranged beneath the lowest floors and, to provide auxiliary heat when zinc and copper sulphide and like ores are being treated, a serpentine flue may be arranged beneath the lowest floor and above the dustchamber, and may be connected to a fire-place. As shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the sections are separated by vertical walls, and each section is provided with vertical rabble shafts C and with a dust-chamber E having a dampered aperture J leading to the lowest compartment. The uppermost chamber may be connected to the dustchamber E or to the outlet flue G by a flue F having dampers H, H<1>. The dust-chamber may be connected directly with the flue G through additional flues; or the opening between the top chamber and the flue F may be provided with a damper. Ore is fed to the furnace through an opening L, and passes downwards through openings J<2>. The roof may be provided with rabbles, and employed to dry damp ores. In re-starting a section that has been cooled, the hot gases from another section are passed to the dust-chambers, and enter the cold section through the apertures J. The rods tying the lower ends of the girders are arranged in channels Q, which are employed to heat air for combustion. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, where additional heat is required for roasting, a serpentine flue is arranged beneath the lowest floor B, and is connected at one end to the flue F, and at the other end is connected either directly to the flue G or to the dust-chamber E through the passage J, which, in this form, is provided with two dampers J<1>, J<3>. In a further modification, a fire-place R is provided as shown in dotted lines, the damper J<3> is dispensed with, and the gases pass from the serpentine flue into the flue F, and thence through a separate dampered flue to the chimney.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Measuring Tiles or other Articles.
Inventor: DUNN FREDERICK THOMAS
IPC: B28B17/00
Filed: 1910-11-22
Granted: 1911-11-22
Abstract: 27,186. Dunn, F. T. Nov. 22. Finishing tiles.-In a machine for measuring tiles &c., a reciprocating plunger 6 is connected to a rotary shaft 1 which has a screw-thread 2 engaging a fixed block 3 so that the plunger 6 is moved longitudinally to push a tile &c. 30 against a fixed stop 31. The movement of the plunger is indicated by a wheel 4 on the shaft 1. In one form of apparatus, Fig. 1, the shaft 1 carries a pulley 9, to which is fastened a strap connected to a spring 11. On the shaft 1 is also mounted a head having a pin 14, which engages a stud 15 on a disk at the end of the driving-shaft 17. The driving-shaft 17 carries a pulley 20, to which is fastened a strap 21 connected to a spring 22, and is driven through friction or toothed wheels 23, 24 from a worm-driven shaft 28. As the shaft 17 rotates, the stud 15 is withdrawn from the pin 14, allowing the shaft 1 to be rotated by the spring 11. When a gap 25 in the toothed wheel 24 comes opposite the wheel 23, the shaft 17 is free to rotate in the opposite direction under the action of the spring 22. The rotation of the shaft 1 is simultaneously reversed, withdrawing the plunger 6 from the tile. The wheel 4 is graduated to show grades into which the tiles are to be sorted, the graduations appearing at a window in the casing 5. In another arrangement, Fig. 2, the springs 11, 22 are replaced by coil springs 56, 57. A shaft 60, driven through speed-wheels 68, 69 and toothed gearing 70, 71, 24, 23, has a head carrying a pin 58 attached to one end of the coiled spring 56, the other end of this spring being attached to the shaft 1 of the plunger. Another head 63 on the shaft 60 has an arm 64 attached to one end of the coil spring 57, the other end of the spring 57 being fastened to a fixed block 65. On the shaft of the wheels 24, 71 is a cam-disk 47 engaging a roller at one end of a lever 49. The other end of the lever is connected to a pivoted shelf 53 forming a support for a tile. The cam 47 is so formed that, when the plunger is being withdrawn, the shelf is tilted to deliver the measured tile. The tiles may be delivered from a store 30, Fig. 3, by means of an endless band 33 passing over wheels 34. The band, which is provided with transverse slats 35 to engage the tiles, is driven intermittently by a snug 41 on an endless chain 42, which passes over wheels 43 driven from the shaft 28, Fig. 1, through wheels 45, 46.
