Patent GB-191011610-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Photographic Paper.
Inventor: LEIGHTON GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1910-05-10
Granted: 1911-05-10
Abstract: 11,610. Leighton, G. W., and Babcock, C. S. May 10, 1909, [Convention date]. Papers.-A printing-paper similar to platinotype paper is made with ferric oxalate and in addition silver and mercury compounds in lieu of the platinum salt. The paper is developed with potassium oxalate as in the case of platinotype paper. Compounds of mercury and silver are used which are soluble in water or in ferric oxalate solution. A suitable solution yielding a liquid coating contains, by weight, water 75 parts, ferric oxalate 12 parts, silver 3À5 parts (say silver nitrate 5 parts), mercury 0À46 part (say mercuric citrate 1À2 parts or mercuric oxide 0À49 parts), oxalic acid 1 part. If 5 parts of potassium oxalate are added to the solution, the amount of mercury can be reduced to 0À2 parts. Other salts such as stannic citrate can be used in lieu of the potassium oxalate. One or two drops of potassium bichromate may be added to the solution to increase the contrast in the finished print. After developing with neutral potassium oxalate, the print is cleaned in a weak bath of hydrochloric acid, washed, and then placed for ten minutes in a hypo fixing- bath (1: 20), and thoroughly washed at once. Sodium or potassium phosphate may be added to the potassium oxalate developer, or alternatively sodium tartrate, to increase the intensity of the blacks. In lieu of the hydrochloric-acid clearing-bath, three baths of hypo and metabisulphate or pyrosulphite of soda may be used.
Patent GB-191012725-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Molding Machines.
Inventor: LEWIS WILFRED
IPC: B22C15/10
Filed: 1910-05-25
Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 12,725. Lewis, W. July 3,1909, [Convention date]. Moulding-machines.-In a gravity-drop jarring- device, a floating anvil is employed, which, at the moment of impact, is moving upwards with the same momentum as the falling parts or with slightly less momentum. In one construction, an anvil B forms part of plungers B<4>, B' working respectively in cylinders E, A', of which A<1> is movable and serves as the support for the flask and patterns. The cylinder A' supports adjustable stops A<3>, A<4> for engaging a double-armed lever S. The anvil B is attached to a valve casing C, which carries a rod I for engaging a lever H, which operates valves G, G<1> alternately. The lever S is moved alternately in either direction by the stops as the support A' rises or falls, and moves a pilot valve controlling the position of a main valve-rod D. The valve-rod D allows free access from a channel C', connecting with the inside of the support A', either to the exhaust pipe, or to a flexible pipe M<3> attached to an air supply K. The cylinder E is connected by a pipe F<1> and valve G<1> to exhaust and by a pipe F<2> and valve G to air supply. In operation, the valve M' is opened, and supplies air to the cylinder A' and pilot valve, the cylinder rising until the stop A<3> operates, whereupon it falls freely. During the upward motion of the mould support, the anvil is practically stationary, the pressure in the cylinder E being just sufficient for this. As the support falls, the pressure of the air inside it is released, and the anvil is forced upwards towards the falling parts. In a modification, the anvil is formed with a cylinder and the part E is a fixed plunger having a channel connecting to the interior of the cylinder, and in a second modification, the anvil is supported by spiral springs in a cylinder, which may have an air-aperture also. In a third modification, in which an automatic pressure reducing - valve is employed, the pressure of the compressed - air cushion is practically maintained uniform, and flexible pipe sections are rendered unnecessary. Fig. 6 shows a mechanically-operated support A' raised by cams U' and rollers U', the anvil being supported by springs Q. In another modification, the support is'raised by a treadle-operated lever against the action of a spring, the anvil being also supported by a spring.

Title: Improvements in Means for Quickly Levelling Instruments or Apparatus, such as Plane Tables, Surveyors' Levels or Photographic Cameras, that are Mounted and Used on Tripods or Stands.
Inventor: HOLLICK ARTHUR JOHN

Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 13,876. Hollick, A. J. June 8. Levelling - heads. - In levelling-heads of the kind comprising two relatively rotatable wedgeshaped bodies 1, 2 having their inclined faces in contact, the bodies are secured together by one or more metal strips 5 fitting into grooves 4 in the inclined faces. Similar grooves and strips are provided to secure the levelling-head to the stand 7 and to the instrument-carrying table 8. The strips 5 generally have a curvature different from that of the grooves; but the curvatures may be the same, in which case the strips may be replaced by a series of balls. In a modification, a series of studs or guides arranged circularly on one face engages with a groove on the other.

Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 23,982. Carey, H. D. de M. Oct. 17. [Addition to 6647/10.] Planes, construction of; balancing. - For balancing flying-machines, subsidiary planes are pivoted on transverse axes at the lateral and longitudinal extremities of the machine in such a manner that the effect of an upward or downward disturbing wind upon either of the subsidiary planes is such as to cause the nose of that plane to move in the opposite direction to the disturbing wind, whereupon the action of the head wind on the subsidiary plane tends to right the machine. Opposite pairs of planes may be connected by gearing which tends to rotate them in opposite directions. Fig. 6 shows a pair of subsidiary planes B arranged at the lateral extremities of a main plane A in such a manner that their pivots d pass through points x, which are disposed as shown in Fig. 2 in relation to the subsidiary planes, and as shown in Fig. 1 in relation to the main plane, so that an upward pressure acting on either of the planes B causes its front end to dip downwards. The pivots d, d', Fig. 8, of the planes B may be oppositely geared to a shaft h' by toothed wheels g, hand g<1>, g<2>, g3 respectively. Front and rear balancing-planes may be connected together by a cord so as to move oppositely.

Title: An Improved Method of Electrically Braking Polyphase Series Motors.
IPC: H02K27/14
Filed: 1911-03-27
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 7631. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. March 27. Drawings to Specification. Alternating-current commutator machines.- Polyphase series motors which are controlled by displacing the brushes are braked by causing them to run as generators to supply energy to the mains. This may be effected by gradually increasing the angular displacement of the brushes from the short-circuit position, the displacement of the brushes being in the direction of rotation when running as a generator. The current returned to the mains may be diminished by inserting a resistance in series or parallel. The low-frequency brake current may be separated from the supply current by connecting a choking-coil in parallel with the mains, and, if desired, by connecting condensers on the leads between the choking-coil and the mains.
