Title: Improved Screen or Plate for Direct Colour Photography and Process for Manufacture of the same.
Filed: 1908-09-24
Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 20,111. Soc. Anon. des Plaques et papiers Photographiques A. LumiÞre et ses fils. Oct. 21, 1907, [date applied for . under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Drawings to Specification. Colour photography ; screens.-A three-colour screen or plate is produced by a succession of tints, resists, and decolorations. A film of gelatine is spread on the glass or support, and is tinted, say violet. A series of parallel lines in fatty ink is then drawn on, covering one-third of the surface. The colour on the uncovered parts is next destroyedby suitable' chemical means, suchas bromine or chlorine water, oxygenizedwater, alkaline persulphates, or hydrosulphite or bisulphite of soda. The plate is then coloured, say orange. A further series of parallel lines in fatty ink is next drawn, crossing, the first series at right-angles or at any other angle, the width of the lines being approximately equal to the width of the spaces between them. The uncovered colour is then destroyed, and the plate tinted say green. The lines of the fatty ink are then destroyed by a solvent such as benzine, without. affecting the colour they cover. The impressions of fatty ink may be in curved or broken lines; dots, &c., so that each-colour covers about, a third of the surface, though this proportion may be varied. Colouring-solutions such as erythrosine, chrysophenine, or diamine may be used.

Title: Improvements in Electric Wave Signalling.
Inventor: FESSENDEN REGINALD AUBREY
IPC: H04L27/04
Filed: 1909-06-24
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 14,826. Fessenden, R. A. July 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Electric-wave signalling.-In a method of electric-wave signalling particularly adapted for wireless working, signalling is effected by altering the coupling of the aerial induction coil from a close to an open coupling by the movement of the transmitting key 30, thereby changing the radiation from a two-wave emission, to which the receiver does not respond, to a onewave emission to which the receiver is tuned. The movement of the key continuously alters the resistance 29 in the aerial circuit, so that the amplitude of the waves remains constant although the coupling varies.

Abstract: 14,957. Stõhler, K. June 26. Skips.-In charging-apparatus for blast and like furnaces in which a movable cover is provided for preventing escape of gas during the emptying of the charging-skip, the cover is suspended or mounted independently of the skip so that oscillations of the skip are not communicated to the cover. As shown in Fig. 2 the cover b is suspended by chains i from the truck c carrying the charging-skip, the suspension rod of the skip passing through an opening formed in the top of the cover. The opening is closed by a plate moving freely on the suspension rod. The cover is lowered during the rotation of the truck c about its front wheels by bevel and worm gear. In a modified form, Fig. 5, the cover chains are connected to a frame o pivoted on the axle of the rear wheels of the truck c. The bell is then lowered as the point of attachment of the chains moves towards the front of the truck. The chains may pass over pulleys at p and be fixed to the front of the truck.

Patent GB-190926597-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machinery for Making Wire Bound Box Blanks.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: B27M3/36
Filed: 1909-11-16
Granted: 1910-11-16
Abstract: 26,597. Lake, W. E., [Healy, W.]. Nov. 16. Stapling.-Wire-wound box blanks are made in a machine which comprises guides for cleats, endless travelling members for moving the cleats along the guides, and devices for stapling binding-wires to the veneer and cleats of the blanks. Endless chains C, Fig. 3, travel round sprocketwheels c, c<1> adjustably mounted in slots on horizontal bars b. Each link has an upper member with a slotted flange, to which a spacing-block D may be adjustably secured by a bolt d, Fig. 7, and nut d<1>. Each block is suitably shaped to receive the ends of the cleats, and is preferably provided with a pin d<2> serving to separate the sheets of veneer. When the blocks approach the angle-iron cleat guides E, cam-surfaces e cause the pins d<2> to project against the action of springs d<3>, which return the pins when the blocks have left the guides E and are travelling back. After the blanks have passed under suitable stapling-devices, the cleats ride up the inclined surfaces of bars or strippers F, and the blanks are thus disengaged from the spacing- blocks. In a modified form, the endless chains travel in vertical planes, in which case the pins for spacing apart the edges of the veneer need not be movable. In another modification, the chains travel in vertical planes, and the upper surface of each link has teeth o, Fig. 16, for engaging the bottoms of the cleats. The upper portions of the chains are supported by guides Q, and the cleat guides P have flanges which bear upon the tops of the blanks as they pass under the staplers. Loose spacing-blocks R with recesses to receive the teeth o are used, and a device to ensure correct positioning of the cleats is provided. Fingers s<2> carried by arms s<1> from a shaft S are caused by springs s<5>, Fig. 22, to project through slots in the guides P into the paths of the cleats. Cleats are placed in the guides in contact with the fingers. Spacing-blocks and the remainder of the parts of the blank are then placed in position. The whole is then pushed forwards against the action of the springs s<6>, thus moving the fingers until their cam-grooves s<3> engage the cams s<4> and cause them to be withdrawn from the paths of the cleats, which are then engaged by the teeth on the chains.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Controlling Aeronautical Machines.
Inventor: HUGHES THOMAS ARTHUR
IPC: B64C13/00
Filed: 1910-01-11
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 762. Hughes, T. A. Jan. 11. Steering and balancing.-The controlling-gear of aeronautical machines is constructed so that the adjustment of the elevators, the warping of the main planes, or operation of ailerons or other devices for obtaining lateral balance, and the adjustment of the rudder, are effected from a single operating-member. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, two sleeves b, c are mounted to rotate on a fixed standard a, the upper sleeve b being formed with bearings d for an operating cross-bar e provided with handles f. A crosspiece m fixed to the operating-bar e is connected by cords passing over pulleys n to the elevator, which is adjusted by oscillating the bar e about its own axis in the bearings d. Lateral balance is effected by rotating the sleeve b upon the standard a by means of the bar c, the sleeve being formed with arms o connected by cords to the balancing-devices. The sleeve c is fitted with a catch g, which is operated by Bowden mechanism h mounted on the bar e and serves to lock the sleeve c to the standard a or to the sleeve b. The rudder is connected by cords to arms p on the sleeve, so that by operating the catch g to connect the sleeves b, c so that they rotate together, the balancing-devices and rudder may be operated simultaneously. The catch g may be arranged so that it may be disengaged both from the standard a and the sleeve b, in order to allow the rudder to be operated separately by foot pressure applied to the arms p. In modifications, the bar e may be arranged longitudinally of the machine after the manner of a tiller, and may be rocked about a transverse axis, or oscillated about a longitudinal axis, or slid backwards and forwards, and instead of being carried by the sleeve b may be carried by a rotary standard on which the sleeves are mounted. Moreover, the sleeves may be arranged concentrically. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the sleeve b is dispensed with, and the bar e is mounted in a rotary standard q and connected to an operating hand-wheel r. The standard q carries fixed and loose bevelwheels s, t geared together by bevel-wheels u, so that the sleeve c, by being connected through the catch g with the wheel t or a fixed collar v on the standard, may be rotated oppositely to, or in the same direction as, the standard. In this way, the lateral balancing-devices may be operated simultaneously with, and in the same or opposite sense to, the rudder. In a modification, the rotary standard may be arranged horizontally instead of vertically, in which case the elevators would be adjusted by sliding the standard backwards and forwards, instead of by rocking the wheel r about the bar e. Moreover, one or more additional sleeves may be provided to give additional controls. The mechanism for controlling the engine of the machine may be mounted on the handles f or wheel r.
