Title: Improvements in Controlling Apparatus for Electric Motors.
Inventor: KLINKENBERG JOHN
Filed: 1904-09-12
Granted: 1904-10-13
Abstract: 19,611. Klinkenberg, J. Sept. 12. Motors, controlling.-Relates to controllers for electric motors, principally for use in working lifts. The motor is started in the usual way, the armature being put in circuit in series with the usual starting-resistances. In order to cut these out gradually and so speed up the motor, a solenoid A, Fig. 2, which may be shunt, or series, or otherwise wound, is provided. The upward motion of its plunger B causes the rotation of a toothed segment C and a wheel D, the shaft D' of which rotates a contact-carrying shaft D<3>, Fig. 1, by way of an insulated coupling D<2>. The cam contacts G engage rollers H carried in frames H<1> upon a spindle J, and, as the shaft D' revolves, the rollers H are released one by one, and the parts H<1> are pulled into contact with carbon blocks J<1> by means of springs H<2>, thereby short-circuiting the resistances, the electric connections being arranged accordingly. When the supply of current is cut off, the plunger B falls, assisted by the action of a spring, if desired, and the cams G remove the contacts H<1> from the blocks J<1>. A dash-pot K<4> with an adjustable air passage K<3> limits the rate of cutting-out the resistances, while rubber-covered openings K<6> allow of the expulsion of air during the upward motion of the plunger K<1>, but prevent its entry during the downward motion. If desired, the solenoid A and dash-pot K<4> may be combined, the plunger B serving for both.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Obtaining and Correcting the Line of Fire of Ordnance.
Inventor: BALL ALFRED FALCONER
Filed: 1905-06-03
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 11,695. Ball, A. F. June 3. Position-finders.-The apparatus is used in conjunction with two observers, posted on opposite sides of a battery, to determine the range of an invisible target and to correct the line of fire after the range has been found. For range-finding, each observer signals his distance from the target and the angle subtended by the battery and target at the observation station. The distance of the observer from the battery being known, the triangle is then solved by the apparatus shown in elevation and sectional plan in Figs. 1 and 3 respectively. Two arms C, D graduated in yards are pivoted at C' to a bar A, the graduations on' which correspond with the range of the target. The graduation on the arms C, D correspond, respectively, to the distance of the right and left observers. Arms G, H are pivoted to slides E, F on the arms C, D, and are provided with transparent scales G', H<1> graduated' longitudinally in yards along their centre lines. The angles between the pairs of arms G, C and H, D are made to correspond to the angles signalled by the observers, and the arms are clamped in these positions by clamps G<11>, H<11>. The arms C, D are then turned about the centre C', which represents the battery, until the graduations on the arms G, H corresponding to the distances signalled by the observers coincide with the median line of the bar A. The point of intersection corresponds to the range of the target. The scales G<1>, H<1> are provided with lines representing in degrees, or minutes, deviation. to right or left of the median line of the scale. After a shot has been fired, each observer signals the angle to the right or left of the target at which the shot appeared to him to fall. The point of intersection of the corresponding lines on the scales G<1>, H<1> indicates, approximately, the position at which the shot fell. A T-shaped cursor M, graduated in yards in either direction, is employed to translate the deflexion and error in the range into yards.
