Abstract: 24,674. Spaulding, W. M., and Cooper, J. W. Nov. 7. Windows.-The upper and lower sashes 9, 6 are connected to the sash cords 20 by runners 3, 4, each consisting of a socket 16 having a widened portion 17 in which the cord is knotted or expanded, a rib 15 working in a slot in the pulley stile, and a grooved rounded projection 18 fitting in a ribbed depression 39 in a plate 38 secured to the bottom of the sash stile. A pin 41 passed through the sash stile engages with the groove in the projection 18 to prevent disengagement of the runner from the sash. The upper sash 9 slides between the facing-strip 11 and the parting bead 10, which extends only half-way down the frame in order to allow the sash to turn inwards on the runners 3 when in its lowest position. The runners 3 are prevented from sliding upwards, when relieved of the weight of the sash, by the engagement with the rib 15 of a pin 28, Fig. 8, on a spring stop 23, which is held in a recess 29 in the facing-strip and pulley stile, when the sash is in the sliding position, by the pressure of the sash stile against an inclined portion 25 of the stop. The lower sash 6 is guided when sliding by strips 8, which are connected by links 13 to the sash stiles and are normally held by spring catches in engagement with grooves 7 in the pulley stiles. When the strips are withdrawn from the grooves, the sash may be swung inwards on the runners 4, which are then prevented from sliding upwards by pivoted weighted stops 31. When the sash is in the sliding position, the stops 31 are disengaged from the runners by spring- devices 35 mounted in the grooves 7 and operated by the guide-strips 8.

Title: Improved Printer for a Multiplex Printing Telegraph System.
Inventor: MURRAY DONALD
Filed: 1908-12-11
Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 26,918. Murray, D. Dec. 11. Telegraphs.-In an apparatus for operating the keys of a typewriter from a series of impulses received from segments of a distributor as used in multiplex telegraphy, the impulses operate successively, through electro-magnets, a series of differentially slotted combs, the positions of which determine which of a number of cross-bars resting against them shall be able to move forward, thus selecting a particular letter. The selected cross-bar pushes forward an attachment to the typewriter key which is held by a pawl in this position until a cam-actuated striking-bar causes it to print the letter. Other cams return the selecting cross-bars and the combs to their initial positions. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the apparatus with the typewriter removed, and Fig. 1 is a section on the line A ... B also showing part of the typewriter. The five electro-magnets 43 ... 47 are conneeted to segments of a distributor and operate, through their armatures and the springs 50, a series of five slotted combs 14 of the kind described in Specification No. 11,778, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Printing, Letterpress &c.]. The combination arrived at by the impulses allows one only of the cross-bars 11 to move forward and, by pressing against the end 32 of the bar 25, to cause the locking- pawl 30 to engage with the top 27 of the lever and hold the lever in the moved position. The last segment on the distributor operates the electro-magnet 52 to bring the clutch 56, 57 into gear to rotate the cams 40, 65 and 23 for one revolution. The cam 23 operates first through the parts 20, 18, 17, to allow the cross-bars 11 to move forward against the combs 14. A lever 25 having been selected, the cross-bars 11 are returned, and the cam 65 replaces the combs 14 through the arms 66, 67, 68, 69. Meanwhile the cam 40 operates the strikirg-lever 33 through the arms 38, 34, 34<a>, 34<b> and the lever 33 catches in the hooked end 32 of the lever 25 and operates the key 2 of the typewriter. The pawl 30 rises clear of the notch 27 when the striking bar 33 is removed and the lever 25 accordingly returns to its normal position.
