Granted: 1901-08-17
Abstract: 13,730. Boult, A. J., [Neelemans, A.]. July 5. Points and switches. -The point tongue 19 is worked by the rod 39, and the locking-bolt 29 by the link 41, crank 40, and rod 20 from the crank wheel 18, which is driven by gearing from the pinion 3 loose on the motor shaft 2. Two clutch sleeves 7, acting in opposite directions, connect the shaft and pinion, are pressed towards the pinion by springs, and are shifted over when the points are thrown by a cam 16 on one of the shafts acting through a slide 13. The motor can thus run freely at the end of the stroke, and generate current for operating the releasing &c. magnet in the cabin. The pole-changing switch 21 is connected to a slide frame 31, 22 which is locked by a spring bolt 25 while the motor is in motion, but this bolt is pushed back by the point-locking bolt 29 when the points are locked as shown in Fig. 7. This frame is thrown over, when released, by the spring 35, which is compressed by the motion of the locking-slide 30.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Sulphur Colouring Matters and Material for use therein
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1901-12-16
Granted: 1902-09-25
Abstract: 25,650. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Dec. 16. Trinitrodichlorbenzene is produced by nitrating m-dichlorbenzene or m-dinitro-m-dichlorbenzene, for example, by means of nitric acid and fuming sulphuric acid, containing about 23 per cent. of free SO3, at 140‹-145‹ C. When purified by recrystallization, the product melts at about 128‹-129‹C. Trinitrodi p-hydroxydiphenyl-m-phenylenediamine or its sulphonic or carboxylic acid is produced by condensing the foregoing product with two molecular proportions of p-amidophenol or its sulphonic or carboxylic acid, for example, in presence of sodium acetate. After recrystallization, the product is obtained as brick-red crystals. Dyes, artificial.-Sulphur dyes yielding greenblack shades on cotton, which become bluer on treatment with alkaline oxidizing-agents, such as hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, are produced by gradually heating the foregoing condensation products with sulphur and an alkali sulphide to about 160‹-180‹ C. until the mass is dry.

Patent GB-190217143-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electrical Systems for Lighting and Power.
Inventor: ADLER ABRAHAM SANFORD
Filed: 1902-08-02
Granted: 1903-06-18
Abstract: 17,143. Adler, A. S. Aug. 2. Dynamos, regulating; field magnets, special means for reparately exciting.-Relates to dynamos for use in a system of distribution particularly adapted to supply light and power in railway vehicles &c., the dynamo being driven at a variable speed, e.g., from a car axle, and a storage battery supplying current when the dynamo is not driven at a sufficient speed. The dynamo is regulated by means of a motor-generator which excites the field magnets and is driven, preferably by the dynamo, at a slower speed as the dynamo increases in speed. In the general arrangement shown in the Figure, the battery D is supplying the working circuit R through the switches I and X. On starting the dynamo, the armature A supplies current to its field coil C, through the automatic or other switch A', switches L, Y, and resistance K<1>. It also supplies current to the electromagnets V, W, and to the motor 0 of the motor-generator S. As the speed increases and the electromotive force rises, the generator part P supplies the field coil C, the switch Y being opened by the electromagnet V. On a further rise of speed and potential, the switch I is opened and J closed, thus connecting the armature A to the circuit R through the resistance H. A direct connection is also made with the battery for re-charging. The speed of the motor 0 is reduced as the speed of the armature A increases, by providing it with a series coil T. The current of the motor-generator P is thus reduced, and consequently the excitation of the field C. A large increase in the speed of the dynamo therefore slightly increases the charging-current of the battery without materially increasing the voltage in the lamp circuit. A. coil E is also wound on the electromagnet, and normally assists the coil W. Should, however, the potential fall, the current is reversed, and the switch J opened and I closed, disconnecting the dynamo and connecting up the battery.

Moving-beater apparatus; containers or receptacles. -A machine for kneading and mixing dough for bread, candy, and other substances, is shown inside view in Fig. 1, and the mixing-mechanism proper in transverse vertical section in Fig. 5. A vessel or container k is formed of two substantially-semicircular heads l having flanges m supporting a sheet-metal body portion n. Octagonal or other trunnions p project from the heads l into stirrups q of verticallymovable racks r, which engage pinions u on a shaft h provided with hand-wheels v, and are guided between the pinions and sleeves i mounted in the framing a. Extensions s of the trunnions move in vertical guide-slots t in the framing a. The sleeves i form journals for a shaft j. Pinions z mounted on spindles y mesh with segments a<2>, a<3>, the former keyed on the shaft j, and the latter keyed on the sleeves i.
