Abstract: 19,066. Waddington, R., and Kendal, R. Aug. 19. Fire-tubes with superheating - jackets; damp e r s f o r controlling superheaters. - The. main steam - pipe of a boiler is lowered into the water-space and is traversed for the whole of its length by smoketubes expanded into the fire-box tube-plate and also into the front plate of the header in the smoke-box. In the arrangement shown, a set of steam mains 1 ... 6 extends between headers A, B below the water-level. Steam is supplied from the dome 13 to the header A by pipes 12, and passes to the cylinders through the regulator 14 and pipes 15. Each steam main contains a set of seven fire-tubes opening into the fire-box and into the smoke-box. The passage of the furnace gases through these tubes is controlled by a damper 21 moved in consonance with the regulator valve. Easily removable deflectors 18, 19 are arranged in the headers A, B, the deflector 18 serving to throw any water against the tubeplate 8, while the deflector 19 prevents water from being carried to the regulator. The mains are slightly inclined towards the smoke-box so that any water thrown down by the deflector 19 flows towards the tube-plate 8. The mains may be fitted with baffles. Modifications are described in which some of the mains are open at both ends to the steam space, or in which the mains are arranged in series.

Abstract: 1206. Elektriska Aktiebolaget A. E. G. Jan. 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Tell - tale apparatus for repeating rotary movements. Relates to direct - current motor control systems for submarine mines, and consists in means for indicating at the control station the motion of a motor at the mine. Figs. 1 and 2 show the apparatus at the mine and at the control station respectively. A transformer 9, Fig. 1, has one winding 8 connected to slip-rings 2, 3 on the motor 1, which raises and lowers the mine, and the other winding is connected on the one side to "earth" through a switch 32 mounted to rotate with the motor, and on the other side to the control station through a condenser 11 and a wire 12, which also connects the motor 1 to the control station. At the control station, the wire 12 is connected to a combined transformer and directcurrent relay 35, which controls a switch 55 for a bell 53, and an alternating-current relay and switch 46, 43 for an indicator 48, 49, 51. When the motor rotates, an alternating-current is transmitted intermittently from the slip-rings to the relay 46, the indicator 51 controlled thereby moving step by step synchronously with the motor. When the motor stops, the switch 55 closes, and the bell 53 rings until the controlling-switch 37 is brought to the normal position shown, in which a resistance 38 reduces the current so as to render it ineffective so far as this action is concerned.

The key-levers co-operate with a slide having a graduated series of contact rolls. In the machine shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the keyboard is in two sections, each with a slide 27, and the keys are arranged in groups of three, the keylevers 37 converging rearwardly and having angular rear ends forming stops 40 for co-operation with a stop-rack 34 driven by the typewheel pinion 12. The outer stop 40 of each group of three is extended to engage the slide 27, and the two inner key-levers of the group of three overlap the outer key-lever. to effect operation of the slide 27 by the outer stop. The slides 27 are provided with adjustable antifriction guides 28, and the contact rolls 43 are mounted on a common axis in parallel guideways 41 for the outer stops 40. Rotary movement is imparted from either slide 27 to the type-wheel 14 through a connecting-rod 26, link 23, and a vibrator 19 provided with a toothed segment 21 engaging with the typewheel pinion 12. The links 23 are pivoted to swinging arms 24 on the framing. The connecting-rods 26 are adjustable in length and can be attached to the links 23 at various holes 26<c>.
