Title: Improved Method and Apparatus for the Measurement of the Specific Resistance of Electrical Conductors.
IPC: G01R27/02
Filed: 1911-03-01
Granted: 1912-03-01
Abstract: 5142. Evershed & Vignoles, and Evershed, S. March 1. Resistances, measuring.-The specific resistance of a test-piece is measured directly, by first obtaining the cross-sectional area of the test-piece, either by direct measurement, or bv displacement of liquid, and then measuring by means of an ohm-meter the resistance of a length of the test-piece proportional to the area. For this purpose, a test-board a, Fig. 1, has fixed at one end a pair of contacts, one consisting of a knife-edge c, and the other consisting of a pair of U-shaped spring jaws b. At the other end a similar set of contacts c<1>, b<1> is carried on a sliding block d', which is provided with a pointer h near a scale g. The knife-edges c, c<1> are connected with the pressure coil of an ohmmeter. After the cross-sectional area of the test-piece has been measured, the block d<1> is set and clamped at a corresponding reading on the scale g. The test-piece t is then forced down into the spring jaws, which serve to conduct current to it. The resistance of the length between the knife-edges is then measured, the value obtained being equal to or a multiple of the specific resistance. The ohm-meter may be of the type having a controlling-coil as described in Specifications 21,271/07 and 7398/08, a cut-out of the type described in Specification 29,980/10 being connected in the circuit of the pressure coil. The test-piece may be a solid or a hollow bar, such as a commutator segment. In an apparatus shown in Fig. 6, for measuring the mean cross-sectional area of the test-piece, the test-piece V is held in a clamp with its lower end dipping into a liquid in a glass vessel o. A round standard bar q fixed to a slide r is then lowered into the liquid, and the level of the liquid is adjusted by means of another rod, not shown, to a mark such as the end of a wire Z. The test-piece is then lowered through a unit of length by removing a slotted distance-piece X, and the slide r and rod q are raised until the liquid falls to the level of the mark. The crosssectional area is then shown on a scale u by a pointer s, carried by the slide r. A graduated head u<1> and pointer s<1> are provided for fine adjustment.

Filed: 1911-04-03
Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 8316. Forster, A. L. April 3. Gaseous-fuel furnaces; air supply, regulating. -In order to regulate accurately the conditions within a gas-fired furnace, separate positivelyoperating means, such as rotary or reciprocating blowers, are used to supply air to the gasgenerator and to the furnace, together with means for both independently and conjointly varying the output of each apparatus. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, separate blowers a, driven by variable-speed electric motors d, deliver air through the mains b, c to the producer and furnace respectively. Each motor is controlled by a regulator e. A third regulator, common to both motors, may be employed for conjoint variation, but preferably the two regulators are coupled as shown in Fig. 2, being mounted side by side and having a common spindle g, provided with notched disks i at each end, by which it can be connected through a tooth j to the ordinary regulator handle k. When both regulator handles are thus connected, conjoint variation is obtained by operating the handle h on the shaft g, while either can be operated separately by disconnecting it. In some cases both blowers may be driven from a common motor, there being provision (such as variable gearing) for varying the relative output of the blowers. In the case of a failure in the supply current, a valve m on each of the air supply mains is allowed to open by a no-voltage release device o. The air for the producer is then induced by the steam-jet l, and that for the furnace is maintained by natural draught.
