Patent GB-191119456-A (GB)
Title: Improved Circuit Arrangements for Automatic Telephone Exchanges.
Filed: 1911-08-31
Granted: 1912-06-13
Abstract: 19,456. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Nov. 8, 1910, [Convention date]. Automatic e x c h a n g e systems. - Each second selector in a large exchange is accessible, not as usual from a single group of first selectors, but from a number of such groups, and the third selectors are similarly related to the second selectors. This result is achieved, without additional switches, by wiring the connexions in a special manner. Each group of 1000 lines has 100 first selectors I G W, Fig. 1, arranged in ten sets, the bank contacts of each set being multipled to a single set of leads such as m<1>, m<2>, m<10>. The preselectors V W enable any one of the 1000 lines to gain access over leads such as l<1>, l<2>, l<0> to a first selector of each set. The 100 multiple leads m<1>, m<2>, m<10>, m<11>, m<12>, m<20>, m<91>, m<93>, m<100> which depart from the first-level contacts of the first selectors are multipled to the corresponding leads n<1>, n<2>, p<1>, p<2>, &c., from the other groups of first selectors serving subscribers in the same 10,000 range, and are then wired to a group of 100 second selectors II G W. The leads mm<1>, mm<2>, &c., from the secondlevel contacts are wired to a different group of second selectors, and so on. It will be seen that every second selector is accessible to a range of 10,000 subscribers, and that any subscriber in building up a connexion to another subscriber can do so through any one of 100 second selectors. In a system of this sort it is desirable that a first selector should test busy if all the contacts in any one of its leads are engaged, so that the pro-selector may advance to the next first selector in which this is not the case. This is effected as shown in Fig. 2. The test-leads c connected to. the test-contacts of the first selectors contain relays z controlling contacts x, x<1>, &c., y, y<1>, &c., in ten sets, two of which are shown. When all the ten relays z corresponding to any level of the first selector G W I are energized, current is supplied, say over contacts x, x<1>, &c., to a relay B R which marks the selector as engaged by opening the test-lead c<1> at u. The invention is applicable to systems employing first and second preliminary selectors and to systems in which there are no preliminary selectors.

Title: Improvements in Steam Regenerative Accumulators and Water Heaters.
Inventor: MORISON DONALD BARNS
IPC: F01K1/02
Filed: 1911-09-02
Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 19,564. Morison, D. B. Sept. 2. Heating water.-In a steam - regenerative accumulator or direct-contact water - heater, the incoming steam is caused to effect a surface flow in a desired direction so that the floating oil is constantly driven into a receiver. Steam passes through the circulating tubes d which are of the type described in Specification 11,690/10. The outlets from the tubes are arranged to cause a surface flow to the right-hand end of the vessel so that the floating oil is guided by the angle plate e through side openings f into a receiver r, which is fitted with a scumming - device g. Modifications are described in which the plate e has a central opening which may be provided with a valve, or an inclined sill to prevent return flow from the receiver. The depth of the surface flow may be limited by baffles, and the vessel may be of circular form. Steam supplied to the nozzle 2 passes through the outlets 3, producing an upward circulation in the tube 4. The outlet 5 at the top of the tube is arranged on one side so that the circulating water is discharged in one direction. Steam may be discharged through openings 6 in the central pipe 1 to assist the surface flow.

Title: Method and Apparatus for Grading or Sizing Solid Materials.
Inventor: MCKESSON CHARLES LUTHER
Filed: 1912-07-20
Granted: 1913-08-20
Abstract: 16,940. McKesson, C. L., and Rice, B. F. July 20. Separating by shaking-apparatus. - Material such as seeds, grain, fruits, vegetables, coal, ores, salt, &c. is sorted according to size or volume by means of an inclined table F, Fig. 12, which receives a combined longitudinal and vertical reciprocating motion through suitable mechanism, the surface being formed with transverse deflectors f of a progressively inc r e a s i n g inclination, whereby the material or mixture is sorted into grades of gradually decreasing size and delivered at the lower edge into channels S. To facilitate this action, the deflectors are formed with transverse corrugations G whereby the material is stratified during the upward movement of the table. As shown in Fig. 12, the deflectors are arranged to form four separate tables with feed distributors i, i. The apparatus is reciprocated by a rod d<12> connected through a rod d<6>, Figs. 11 and 12, to a rotating crank-shaft d<2> carried by a frame d<5>. The rotation of the shaft d<2> reciprocates the frame d' through the toggle-links d<4>. The sorting-table is supported by links B which give a rising and falling motion to the table as it is reciprocated. In a further modification, one set of tables is superposed above another set in the same apparatus. Fig. 7 shows an enlarged view of the deflecting-surfaces f. The corrugations G retard the movement of the particles down the inclined deflectors until the inclination is sufficiently steep to prevent further progress in a longitudinal direction. In this arrangement, it is stated that if the line y<11>-y<11> represents the mean level of the material held in the pocket between the adjacent corrugations 2, 4, the part 7-2-8 of the lower corrugation effects a separation, all particles as large or larger than say x<1> passing over the lower part of the corrugations between the points 1-7, while the smaller particles y. z pass into the adjacent pocket of the succeeding deflector.

Granted: 1913-09-25
Abstract: 21,815. Schlosser, G. Sept. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Cage and platform lifts; platform loadhandling machines.-A lift or hoist travelling in fixed guides is arranged so that the loadcarrying member can be swung or slid over a landing or loading stage at any height so as not to overhang the lift well during loading or discharging. Fig. 2 shows one construction in which a cage c is pivoted to a vertical rod b provided with guide-engaging members a at each end. At landings, the members a bridge interrupted sections of the guides which permit the cage to be rotated until it passes inside the line of the wall of the building. In a modified construction, the member a carries a pair of rollers engaging opposite faces of a single T- section guide. Fig. 4 shows a modified construction in which the cage is connected to the member a by a double hinge b<1> so that it can be turned into either of the positions shown in dotted lines. A single hinge may be used instead of the double hinge to permit unloading on one side only. Fig. 5 shows a construction in which two plates a surrounding a single circular vertical guide x are each guided thereon by means of three rollers. The load-carrying platform d can run round a circular track c, c' carried by the plates. In another construction, the load-carrying platform is carried by wheels running in box-section rectilinear guides on the member a so that the platform can be pulled or pushed over a loading-stage. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes several other modified constructions. In one of these, the singlehinge modification of Fig. 4 is illustrated. In another construction, a cage and pair of guiderollers can be raised and lowered on and moved bodily around a single circular slotted guide. A pivoted dog engages the slot in the guide and prevents the cage from rotating during the lifting and lowering movement. In another construction, the platform runs to-and-fro on rails in a direction tangential to a single circular guide which is engaged by a platform and rollers similar to one of those shown in Fig. 5. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
