Abstract: 906,921. Counters. ELMEG ELEKTROMECHANIK G.m.b.H. April 6, 1961 [April 8, 1960], No. 12437/61. Class 106 (1). In an electro-magnetically driven counter with numeral wheels driven by pawl-and-ratchet mechanism the spacing between the digits 1 and 0 is less by an amount X and the distance between 9 and 0 is greater by the amount X than the normal subtended angle of 36 degrees. Each impulse applied to magnet 2 swings lever 12 clockwise about its pivot 13 so that pawl 19 advances ratchet wheel 22 and numeral wheel 23 one step. A spring 24 prevents reverse movement of ratchet wheel 22 while lever 12 and pawl 19 are being returned under spring action. At transfer cam 25 closes contacts 26, 27 to impulse the magnet of the higher denomination, return movement of lever 12 causing a pawl 31 to engage between drive pins 29, 30 to rotate the numeral wheel a further distance X. This advances cam 25 so that contacts 26, 27 reopen so terminating the impulse. Resetting is effected by a long impulse, a fork 32 fixed to lever 12 alternately opening and closing contacts 34, 35 until the zero position is reached. At this point the return movement of lever 12 is restricted by pawl 31 engaging the drive pins 29, 30 so that the fork 32 leaves the contact-operating lever in clockwise position with the contacts 34, 35 open. Transfer is suspended during resetting by opening a contact in series with the transfer contacts.

Abstract: 1309842 Holography PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 18 March 1970 [21 March 1969] 13065/70 Heading G2J In forming a composite hologram of a threedimensional object 1, Fig. 1, a series 41 of recorded images, Fig.3, of elemental holocoders, each corresponding to a view of the object from a different point along a straight line, is made using incoherent radiation, the images are sequentially projected onto a screen 8 and a hologram is made of each of the projected images. The recorded images are obtained by exposing different regions of a film 4 in turn by moving apertured mask 3 and lens 2; alternatively the entire film may be exposed at once, there being a whole series of lenses in the positions 2a-d. After development each recorded image in turn is projected by means of coherent light from a source 7 onto the screen 8, and a strip of film 42 is exposed through aperture 12 of mask 11 both to light from the screen and to a coherent reference beam 9. The mask 11 is moved in cooperation with the film 41 so as to produce on film 42 a series of holograms; when the entire hologram is reconstructed a composite virtual three-dimensional image results. The method may be used for producing motion pictures; in this case instead of preparing a film merely consisting of vertical strips each corresponding to a different view of the object, the film comprises a rectangular pattern of squares, those in a horizontal line corresponding to different views in a given time interval and those in a vertical line to views from the same position at different times. In preparing the film a modified mask 11 is used, Fig. 5 (not shown); a hologram is then prepared from this as before. On account of the lack of depth of field in the hologram-forming process, Fourier transform holograms may be produced. If the reference beam 9 is incident on the film 42 from the side remote from the screen 8 standing wave holograms may be obtained. The incoherent radiation used in the recording of the images may be X-rays, Fig.2 (not shown).
