The balance 1 is hung on knife - edges 2 and is provided at one end with balance weights 11, 11<a>, and at the other end with a holder 7 of the shape shown with rollers 10 in order that the container 8 with the cigarettes 9 shall be positioned accurately. A stability weight 14 is provided, or, if desired, the three weights 11, 11<a>, 14 may be combined into a single weight with both horizontal and vertical adjustments. The balance is provided with a long pointer 18, indicating on a scale 19 graduated so as to indicate the number of cigarettes to a given weight. Damping-arrangements such as a vane attached to the rod 15 or a dash-pot such as is described in Specification 8969/11 are provided. A brake is provided consisting of a spring-controlled bar 21, which can be brought into frictional contact with a light spring 30, mounted on the pointer 18, as desired, by means of a thumb-piece 29, spindles 26, 33, and cranks 25, 28.

Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 29,072. Keith, A., Weiss, J., and Weiss Aeroplane and Launcher Syndicate. Dec. 17. Planes, construction of.-The supporting-planes of bird-shaped aerial machines as described in Specification 17,150/08 are made up of a series of parabolic curves. The front edge is a parabola a b lying in a datum plane, and the rear edge is a line, straight in plan, from the focus d of the parabola a b to the front edge curve as d h, d h<1>, or d h<11>, The under curve of the wing is determined at any section, such as j k, by applying the outer part m q of the front edge curve to the point m so that it is in a vertical plane and intersects a parabola e f having its focus at d and a focal distance about one-seventh of the focal distance of the front edge parabola and in the same plane as the parabola a b. By this means the height of the point on the rear edge of the wing, situated in the vertical plane j k, such as p, p<1>, or p<11>, above the datum plane is determined. The upper curve of the wing is obtained by applying the datum parabola e f so that the point on or near the axis lies on the front edge parabola, for example at m, and another point on the parabola passes through one of the points p, p<1>, or p<11>, the parabola being placed in a vertical plane. The outer part of the rear edge and tip may be raised above the position found as stated above. The wing may have a rounded tip.

Patent GB-191314395-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Elastic Fluid Turbines.
IPC: F01D1/02
Filed: 1913-06-21
Granted: 1914-05-07
Abstract: 14,395. Warwick Machinery Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 21. Axial-flow type; plant; regulating.-A multistage turbine is provided with two exhaust conduits so that it can operate alternatively as a condensing or non-condensing unit. In the first case the final stage is driven in series with the preceding stages, while in the second case it is driven in parallel, that is, it is directly supplied with live steam, expanded down in suitable nozzles. Steam may be extracted at the intermediate stage for heating or other industrial purposes. The turbine comprises three stages 11, 12, 13. After passing through the stages 11, 12 the steam flows through a conduit 24 to the heating system or the like. To keep the pressure in the conduit 24 constant, excess steam is by-passed automatically by a multiported ring valve 28, Figs. 1 and 5, into one or more sets of nozzles 18, Fig. 1, leading to the stage 13. The valve 28 is operated by rack-and-segment gearing 46, Fig. 5, actuated by a servomotor 49, the pilot valve 51 of which is connected to link-work under the influence of a diaphragm 59 subjected to the pressure in the conduit 24. When the turbine is required to operate as a non-condensing unit the length of the link 57, Fig. 5, in the pilot valve mechanism is increased by a hand-operated cam device 67 whereupon the piston 48 of the servomotor permanently takes up the extreme right-hand position shown in Fig. 5. In this position the nozzles 18 are cut out, and communication is established between the conduits 24, 25 by way of ports 38 in the valve 28. As the turbine now requires more steam, the governor 21, Fig. 4, admits steam not only to the first stage 11 but also to a conduit 20 leading direct to a second series of nozzles 19, Figs. 1 and 4, supplying the stage 13. The exhaust from the stage 13 passes as shown by the arrow in Fig. 1 through the valve 28 to the exhaust conduit 24. During non-condensing operation, the conduit 24 is not in communication with the heating system unless suitable relief means for excess steam are provided therein. Live steam will also be supplied to the nozzles 19 when the turbine is working as a condensing unit under overload conditions. The diaphragm 59, Fig. 5, operates against the action of a spring 60 the pressure of which may be adjusted by a screw 61. The valve 28 is made in sections joined together by bolts 30, Fig. 6. A spring 31 on each bolt allows the valve to expand against its seat under the action of the steam pressure. The invention is stated to be an improvement, in certain of its aspects, on that described in Specification 7697/13.
