Granted: 1900-10-20
Abstract: 21,655. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Garfield, A. S.]. Oct. 30. Electric locomotives and motor vehicles. -Relates to systems of motor control, especially for electrically-propelled trains. The electromotors are independently controlled according to the indications of indicators or signals of any form, but preferably differential am-meters of the shunt-type AM', AM<2> are used. The am-meter connected to the first motor or motors M shows the current used therein, and all the other am-meters are connected to it by common leads L', L<2> so as to give the same indication, and the drivers then manipulate their controllers K to supply sufficient current to their motors, so that the differential coils in their instruments will reduce the reading to zero.

Title: Improvements in Hydro-carbon Vapour Burners and Appliances therefor
Inventor: WEATHERHOGG GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-04-14
Granted: 1901-04-13
Abstract: 6969. Weatherhogg, G. W. April 14. Vapour lamps.-In the form shown in Fig. 2, especially intended for lighting, but which may also be used for heating purposes, the paraffin oil or like oil reservoir E'is supported upon a stand F', and has a central air tube C', which is continued upwards by a removable part having a perforated bell-shaped end. Surrounding the air tube is the wick-tube M<2>, upon which is mounted a conoidal perforated vaporizer A<3>, having a centrally-perforated conical cover B<2>. A few of the perforations in the vaporizer are enlarged to form bunsen jets. Outside the vaporizer is a cover G' having an annular deflecting-plate L', and a gallery for the chimney H'. A spreader J<2> of the usual kind is employed. Air also enters through a shield D'. The wick is first lit, but after a time the flame leaves the wick, small bunsen jets in the vaporizer gasify the oil, and the main flame occurs at the annular space K<2>. In the form shown in Fig. 4, especially intended for heating and cooking, but which may be also used for lighting purposes, the parts A, D, E, M and the lower part of C correspond to parts in Fig. 2. The lamp is supported by a stand F perforated with air-boles X, and upon this stand is mounted a removable outer case G, with slots V for the radiation of light and heat. This casing has a gallery J for supporting either cooking-utensils or, as shown, a fume condenser and heat-radiator P. The upper part of the air tube C is enlarged to form a cage B having a concave top with a projecting flange Y. Surrounding the vaporizer is a chimney H having a talc window and an inwardly-projecting flange L. The gallery has a central opening 0 and an annular space N near the outer edge, the two concentric parts of the gallery being connected at intervals by cross-webs W. The lamp is lit as in the former case, the vapour eventually burning at the annular space K. When the fume condenser P is used, air passes through the annular space F and holes R, and between the two concentric cylinders Q, P to the top of the cylinder Q, where it meets the fumes. Small articles may be heated by being placed in the recess T, which may be surmounted by an ornamental cover U. In a further form illustrated, the oil is supplied by a gravity or compression oil-feed arrangement, consisting of a reservoir, having suspended therein a canvas filtering-bag into which the oil is poured. Two connected tubes lead to the lamp, a lower one leading the oil thereto, while the upper one allows any vapour generated before the oil reaches the vaporizer to return to a pocket at the top of the reservoir. The oil flows to a channel, and percolates through a non-charable wick or substance to the vaporizer. Flat, instead of circular, wicks may be used. The Provisional Specification mentions that incandescent mantles may be used with these burners for lighting purposes.

Title: Combined Vacuum and Discharge Valve
Inventor: CHADWICK RICHARD UNSWORTH
Filed: 1900-12-31
Granted: 1901-03-16
Abstract: 23,869. Chadwick, R. U. June 1, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Safety-valves.-A combined vacuum-relief and discharge valve, especially adapted for steam-heated drying-cylinders, is shown in Fig. 1. The valve casing 1 is screwed into the drying-cylinder, and its lower end forms a seat for the vacuum relief valve 3, which is fitted with a tubular cage 5. The cage contains an adjustable screwed ring 10, which forms a support for a coiled spring 12 by which the steam escape valve 8 is normally closed. The escape valve is seated on the upper side of the relief valve, and its spindle 9 extends through a guide 13, which acts as a support for a coiled spring 17 by which the escape valve is normally closed. An excess of pressure either inside or outside the cylinder causes the corresponding valve to be opened, and allows of the entry of air or the escape of steam. The steam escape valve 8 may have a port 23 controlled by a. rod 22, which is made of more expansible metal than the rest of the valve, and which allows the air to escape from the cylinder when steam is first admitted, but closes automatically when steam begins to escape through the port.

Title: Improvements in Electric Telegraphy.
Inventor: MUIRHEAD ALEXANDER
Filed: 1901-03-16
Granted: 1902-03-13
Abstract: 5589. Muirhead, A. March 16. Telegraphs.-Relates to a system of cable e signalling in which a series of signals of either sign are combined to form one long signal with sharp ends. The system is shown as applied to hand simplex working, but may be arranged as duplex. Fig. 8 shows a transmitting-station I, an intermediate station II, and a terminal receiving- station III. The transmitter 10 is connected by a split battery to two relays 14, 15, the tongues of which are connected to line 1 and earth E and to reverse the battery 5 as desired. The line condensers 3 and 4 are shunted by inductance shunts, preferably such as are described in Specification No. 12,731, A.D. 1898, so as to give a through metallic circuit. The tongue of the intermediate receiver 21 is arranged to move over a divided contact-surface, of which the outer sections 25, 26 are connected by reversed batteries to the intermediate sending relays 14, 15 through a control relay 29 arranged in circuit with the central section 23. The terminal receiving-station is similarly arranged, and records in the desired form. The Specification, describes the adaptation of the prolonged current signals to simplex and duplex working when the " overflow " and " curb " currents, such as described in Specifications Nos. 516 and 7525, A.D. 1899, are employed. The receiving and transmitting circuits are provided with inductance shunts of low and high resistance across their circuits and condensers, where such are used. The positions of the receiver and transmitter may also be changed, so as to avoid double adjustment in the shunts. Specification No. 19,183, A.D. 1893, is also referred to.
