Abstract: 105,294. O'Neill, H. B., and Hubert, C. July 4, 1916 Turning-gear.-A dynamo-electric machine for a road vehicle, which may act either as a starting- motcr, or as a dynamo for battery-charging and lighting, is included in circuits controlled by a relay in a further circuit controlled by a switch actuated by mechanism for advancing or retarding the ignition. An ignition-timing lever 8, Fig. 12, when in a position corresponding to the maximum retardation of the spark, closes a switch 10 which completes the circuit of a relay 15 having contacts for opening and closing the motor and generator circuits of a compound-wound dynamoelectric machine 13, 14. When the relay is energized, the path between the contacts 22 is bridged and the motor circuit completed from the battery 29 through the connexions 34, 30 and the armature 13 to earth. With the relay in its retracted position, contact between the points 20 is made and the generator circuit completed through the connexions 30, 31, 33, 34 to the battery; the shunt circuit traverses the path 14, 35, 20, 36, 33, 34 to the battery. A current-regulator 32 is provided. A lighting-circuit is shown at 39. To prevent waste of current, the lever 8 is made to bear upon a spring-pressed arm, which moves it from its starting position when it is released by the driver. When used as a starting-motor, the dynamoelectric machine actuates the engine shaft 59 through speed-reducing gearing 56, 54 and an annular wheel having ratchet teeth 28 upon its periphery, by means of which the wheel is held against rotation by a pawl 24, Fig. 12, actuated by the relay 15. When acting as a generator, the pawl 24 is released, thus allowing the wheel to run free and the engine to drive the dynamoelectric machine at its own speed through a one-way clutch 62, 64. The machine is shown in Fig. 1 applied to a Ford car, to which it is secured, forward of the engine, by a supporting-bracket 65 bolted to the sides of the casing 47 and to the cross-frame 66 of the chassis. The bracket 65 is further secured by a rod 68, which passes through a lug on the crank casing 72 of the engine. The invention may be applied to a starting system in which the dynamoelectric machine is replaced by separate dynamo and motor units.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of sintered alloy bodies
Inventor: TREE FRANK
IPC: C22C1/04
Filed: 1959-03-19
Abstract: A sintered nickel based alloy body containing cobalt and chromium as main constituents and minor amounts of titanium and aluminium is formed by compacting the metal powders at a pressure not greater than 10 tons p.s.i. in a mould, and sintering the powders while contained in the mould under vacuum or an inert atmosphere at a temperature such that no liquid phase is formed. Molybdenum and small amounts of carbon and boron may also be present, the powders being formed by atomising the molten metals. The separate powders finer than 200 mesh may be mixed together in the required proportions or preferably an atomised alloy powder of the desired composition may be processed alone or mixed with a master alloy which contains one or more of the minor constituents of the required alloy.  In an example a nickel based alloy containing 11,6% chromium, 20,6% cobalt, 5,15% molybdenum, 2,03% titanium, 5,41% aluminium, 0,003% to 0,05% boron and 0,31% carbon was made from a mixture of powders of a cobalt-boron master alloy and an atomised alloy containing the remaining constituents, the powders being loosely packed in a mould or compacted at less than 10 tons p.s.i.  The mould containing the powders was sintered in vacuum at 1300 DEG C. for 20 hours and furnace cooled.  The body was solution treated at 1200 DEG C for 1 1/2 hours in air, air cooled, aged at 850 DEG C. for 16 hours and again air cooled.

Drawings to Specification [Classes 72 and 82 (i)] [Also in Group XXII] The magnetic properities of iron alloys containing 2 to 10 per cent. of aluminium are given a high permeability and directional properties by rolling or elongation while cold. This may be followed by heat treatment, e.g. heating, to 600‹-1425‹C. Sheet alloy containing 3.5 per cent. of aluminium may be reduced by hot rolling to a thickness of 0.35 inch and then by cold rolling to 0.109 inch or a rod may be reduced by hot rolling to 0.5 inch diameter and then by cold rolling to 0.25 inch. The product may be heated to 1000‹C. in hydrogen or in a sealed pot for one hour and cooled slowly. Long heating at over 1300‹C. lowers the permeability at high flux densities though it may increase the maximum permeability. Data are given of magnetization, coercive force, permeability, hysteresis loss and torque of sheet or rod made from alloys containing 3.5 and 4 per cent. of aluminium hot rolled at different temperatures before the cold rolling and annealed at different temperatures within the range specified. The alloys thus treated are stated to have the tractive force of iron, e.g. when used in relays, and the high speed of response of iron alloys containing 45 per cent. of nickel.
