Title: Improvements in or relating to the Steering Arrangements of Ships.
Inventor: LIVINGSTON THOMAS LINTON
Filed: 1908-10-30
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 23,112. Livingston, T. L. Oct. 30. Hydraulic transmission of power. -Relates to steering-gear for ships. A steam steering control wheel is arranged to actuate the valve of its steering-engine through a device which is actuated by the hand steering-mechanism or the steering-control wheel of the other engine, or both, so that the stops fitted to limit the angle to which the rudder can be moved by the steering-engine are moved correspondingly to the rudder but without moving the valve of the steering-engine not in use. The spur-wheel a, which may be connected to the steamsteering control wheel by the rods c, x and telemotor piston-rod w, gears with racks d, e which in turn gear with spur-wheels h, m, respectively. The wheel h is fixed on a shaft j connected to the hand steering-wheel, while the wheel m is fixed on the shaft n geared to the steam-engine control valve. Recessed disks q are mounted on the shafts j, n and are locked by the lever o, the pins of which are formed so that when either disk is rotated, the corresponding pin is moved outwards so as to clear its disk q, and the lever o tilts so that the pin p at its other end is moved into engagement with the other disk q. In some cases, the pins may be pivoted and a pin fixed between them. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, a spring y is fitted between the stops z on the piston - rod w. The rudder stops 2 on the guide - rods 1 coact with the stops z and are pressed into their normal positions by springs 3. In the arrangement shown in plan in Fig. 6, the rudder is adapted to be moved by a port steering-engine 5, the valve of which is actuated by the rack e, or by a starboard steering-engine 6, the valve of which is actuated by the rack d used also in connexion with the hand steering-gear. Each rack is operated by a corresponding telemotor cylinder s, the joints 8 allowing the racks to be rotated independently of the extensions 7. Specification No. 4839, A.D. 1907, is referred to in connexion with means for locking the rack spindles against longitudinal movement, when the hand steering-gear is in use, or for locking one rack spindle when steering with one engine.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Briquettes, Blocks or Slabs.
Inventor: BALLANTINE JAMES BAIN
IPC: C10L5/14
Filed: 1909-01-22
Granted: 1910-04-22
Abstract: 1645. Ballantine, J. B., Macwilliams, J., and Richards, W. E. Windsor-. Jan. 22. Processes.-Coal, coke, peat, ores, &c. are consolidated into briquettes by the use of a carbonaceous binding-agent, for example tar, pitch, resin, oil, &c., which when heated to a high temperature and brought into contact with air is immediately oxidized. The material in a finely divided state and the binding-agent are heated separately under pressure to a temperature of 550-850‹ F. out of contact with air ; they are next mixed together in a closed pugmill or by passing over heated shelves in a closed vessel, and are then brought into contact with air for a short time not exceeding 15 seconds, and immediately briquetted. If dry, the material may be mixed and heated directly with the binding- agent. From 2 to 2¢ per cent of binding-agent is employed, and, in cases where the material contains such agglutinant itself, that is, coal &c., no additional substance is added. The process may be applied to the manufacture of paving blocks from sand, quartz, powdered granite, &c. According to the Provisional Specification, the materials may be mixed together and briquetted at a low temperature, and the briquettes hardened by heating under pressure and exposing to air.
