Abstract: 13,185. Sunderland, L., and Pillinger, G. C. June 20. Cut-outs; distributing; switches.-An automatic switch, applicable for switching in and out transformers according to the load on the secondary, consists of a lever arm 1 pivoted at one end 2, and at the other end carrying contacts A, A', A<2>, Fig. 2, adapted to meet the correspondingly lettered contacts shown in Fig. 3, which lie in the primary or supply and the secondary or consumer's circuit. The arm is operated to complete both circuits by an electro-magnet 5 connected to a battery, or other auxiliary source of current, through contacts 7, 8, the battery circuit, as shown in Fig. 3, being completed only when one or more of the lamps or other consuming devices 9 are in action. The battery circuit becomes broken at the end of the stroke by separation of the contacts 7,8, and the arm 1 is held down by another electromagnet 4 connected through the secondary coil and the lamps. When current ceases to flow through the secondary, the arm 1 is drawn off by a spring 6, and both the primary and the secondary circuits are opened at A, A<1>, A<2>. The contacts 7, 8 come together again, preparing for actuation by the electro magnet 5 as before described. The apparatus may be alternatively constructed with a centrally pivoted arm, and with gravity instead of spring retraction.

Title: Improvements in Instruments for Measuring the Decrement of Electromagnetic Oscillations.
IPC: G01R27/28
Filed: 1909-01-04
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 185. Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Co., and Round, H. J. Jan. 4. Decrement of electro-magnetic waves, measuring, by the change in the current induced in a circuit in resonance therewith when the natural frequency of this circuit is varied by a known small amount. The natural frequency of the resonant circuit, containing inductances L, I, a capacity C, and a switch S in the right-hand position, is tuned to the frequency of the oscillations, the decrement of which is to be measured, by varying the capacity C, as in the wave-meter described in Specification 26,588/08. The current induced in the resonant circuit produces a certain difference of potential between points a, A of the inductance L, which produces a sound in the telephone T in series with a crystal rectifier D. The switch S is next shifted to its left - hand position, thereby cutting out the inductance I, and at the same time connecting the telephone circuit between the fixed points a, b. The position of the contact A is then adjusted along the inductance L until equally loud sounds are produced in the telephone T in both positions of the switch S. The decrement is a function of the length a A, and the instrument may be made to read direct. Alternatively, the circuit may be tuned bv adjusting the inductance, and the switch S may change the capacity.
