Title: Improvements in or relating to Logarithmic Calculating Apparatus.
Inventor: LILLY WALTER ELSWORTHY
IPC: G06G1/10
Filed: 1912-12-11
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 28,603. Lilly, W. E. Dec. 11. Logarithmic calculators. - In apparatus in which the logarithmically-divided scale is set out on a disk or cone C in a spiral or set of concentric circles, one or more radial arms D, E, frictionally held to one another, are pivoted on a pin A at the pole or centre and are graduated to correspond with the number of convolutions or circles of the scale starting from zero. The logarithm of any number may be found by placing one of the arms at the number on the scale; the number of the convolution indicates the first figure of the mantissa and the next figures are indicated by the intersection of the arm with a decimally-divided scale around the circumference of the disk. Multiplication is effected by placing one arm at unity on the logarithmic scale and the other at the multiplicand. The first arm is then turned, carrying with it the second arm, until it reaches the multiplier. The first figure of the mantissa of the product is calculated mentally and the product is read off at the intersection of the second arm with the corresponding convolution. The scale may be also graduated to indicate trigonometrical functions, and the disk may be provided with a handle. In modifications, the scale and radial arms extend over both sides of the disk, or the arms may be provided with a fine thread stretched on a radial line or otherwise shaped to facilitate the reading of the scales.

Abstract: 16,379. Elia, G. E. July 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Mines, marine.-Relates to firing-devices set in action by tripping-arms, and consists in the provision of a ratchet device to cause the firing to take place only after the arms have been deflected a given number of times, which happens when a ship encounters the mine, but not when a neighbouring mine explodes; the mines are thus made safe against sympathetic explosions. The tripping-arms are preferably all situated on one side of the vertical axis so as to act as rudders in water currents and so as not to retain weeds and floating bodies. As shown in Fig. 1, the arms v are connected by wires t to a pawl m in engagement with a ratchet-wheel k integral with a cam h. After a given number of steps, a notch j in the cam comes opposite the rear end of a spring catch c which thereupon releases the shoulder a of a firing-device of known construction.
