Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical measuring apparatus
IPC: G01D5/22
Filed: 1942-07-29
Abstract: 561,141. Electric measuring apparatus. KAPELLA, Ltd., and REASON, R. E. July 29, 1942, No. 10608. [Class 40 (i)] In precision measuring apparatus, e.g. for measuring surface roughness, in which a feeler, stylus, &c. in a gauge head varies an inductance controlling an a.c. supply and metering circuit, the gauge head and supply &c. circuit are formed as separate units connected by flex and a plug and socket coupling, and in order to provide for interchangeability of the units, the gauge unit and preferably also the supply &c. unit are standardized. The circuits shown, which are generally similar to those shown in Specification 556,607, and may have similar impedance relationships, comprise a gauge unit A wherein the stylus controls an armature B and differentially influenced inductances C1, C2 connected in shunt of two circuits in the supply unit F fed by transformer G. The outputs of the two circuits, after rectification, are connected in opposition, or otherwise, to meter L. The two units are connected by coupling D1. In order to standardize the output of the gauge unit, an impedance or resistance E of suitable value is mounted in the plug between two pins connected in the metering circuit. The supply unit is standardized by a pair of adjustable chokes H1, H2 (current standardization) or a single choke on the primary side (voltage standardization) and by a resistance L1 in series with the meter. Ripples are smoothed by choke L2. A construction of variable choke is described in Specification 559,018, [Group XXXV], and the gauge may be constructed as described in Specification 541,628. The meter and associated impedances may be separate from the remainder of the circuit as indicated by dotted line M.

Title: Improvements in or relating to missile launcher simulators
Inventor: ORMISTON P T
IPC: F41G7/00
Filed: 1969-02-27
Abstract: 1300941 Missile launcher simulators SOLARTRON ELECTRONIC GROUP Ltd 24 Feb 1970 [27 Feb 1969] 10663/69 Heading F3C A missile launcher simulator comprises a sight 10, a radiation source 11 for simulating the missile and for projecting a beam of radiation towards a target, a linkage between the sight 10 and the source for orienting the source in an orientation related to the orientation of the sight 10 in dependence upon a control signal, a means for generating the control signal in response to changes in the orientation of the sight and in response to difference information concerning the difference in orientations of the sight and the source. The orientation of the source 11 is controlled by elevation and azimuth motors 12, 13 each motor being actuated by its associated elevation or azimuth circuit. A spot of light issuing from a spot injection unit 14 is introduced into the field of view of the sight 10 to indicate the orientation of the source. The circuits are fed by a respective rate giro which is connected to the sight-launcher assembly and a signal dependent upon the orientation of the source 11 to produce a difference signal which drives the respective motor. After a certain "time of flight" of the simulated projectile the system is converted from an automatically correcting system to a manually correcting system by the actuation of a switch 34 by a relay 57. From thence the orientation of the source is controlled by a lever 37 actuating a pair of potentiometers 36, 38. The source 11 is a pulsed infra-red laser and initially, from the pulses, the target distance is measured by employing infra-red detectors and a transmitter at the target (Fig. 2, not shown). The range at any time is memorized by a target range counter register 55. This range is compared with the signal from a missile range timer 54 such that when these are equivalent a "hit" signal is applied to the pulse generator 53. This signal changes the p.r.f. of the source 11 and if the source is oriented in the correct direction within predetermined limits a hit display in the target is illuminated. Smoke may also be liberated and the weaponry of the target immobilized. A signal may also be relayed back to the launching position. To indicate a near miss the source may be scanned as is disclosed in Specifications 1,228,143 and 1,228,144.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of finned tubing
IPC: B21C37/26
Filed: 1928-04-17
Abstract: 289,430. Bundy, H. W. April 27, 1927, [Convention date]. Tubes.-Finned tubing is made by forming flat strip stock into a tube and winding the fin stock thereon with a continuous longitudinal movement of the tube. Strip stock is fed from a spool through an acid bath and is converted into a tube by a series of pairs of rolls 3. The strip may be previously tinned or may be tinned after leaving the spool. The tube then passes through a sweating die 4 heated by a burner 5 and then, in turn, through a solder bath 6 and wiping dies 8 for removing excess of solder. It then passes through a drum 10 rotated by a motor 11 and carrying a series of spools 15 of fin strip which is drawn from the spools by movement of the tube. The strips pass through crimping rolls 20 which are carried by the drum and are rotated through bevel gear by pinions 22 engaging a fixed circular rack 21. The tube is still at this stage in a heated condition and solder thereon forms an initial union with the fins. The finned tube then passes through a solder bath 26 to complete the soldering and then through a cooler 28. It is then engaged by a series of blocks 33 on a pair of endless belts to asist in pulling it through the apparatus and is then severed into lengths, preferably automatically, at 34. The fin may be formed with a turned over edge 37 to form a flat portion for resting against the tube, or may be longitudinally folded at 38 and the edges 39 and 40 crimped. The tubes may be single or multiple ply. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states that the tubes may be preformed and may be seamless, or may be of the lock-seam type. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
