Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Steel Alloys.
Inventor: JOHNSON CHARLES MORRIS
Filed: 1910-04-08
Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 8530. Johnson, C. M. Nov. 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Treating ores to obtain agglomerates of metal and rock; alloys.-In a process of steel-making, tungsten or like metal from which the silica of the native rock accompanying the ore has not been refined away is charged into the steelmaking crucible and the silica slagged out as the steel-making operation progresses. The tungsten or other ore is charged into a retort, and hydrochloric acid and an alkaline chlorate added, the retort being kept hot, preferably by means of steam, during the reaction. The residue of tungstic acid and dross, largely silica, is separated and washed. The insoluble residue is reduced in a furnace, according to the method described in Specification 8531/10, to finelydivided tungsten, which is still accompanied by the silica originally present in the ore. The reduced material is charged into the crucible along with the other steel-making ingredients, the silica eventually passing into the slag.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Incendiary Projectiles.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
IPC: F42B12/44
Filed: 1910-05-10
Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 11,611. Schneider, E. May 10. Projectiles ; projectile fuses.-Relates to incendiary projectiles especially for use against balloons. According to the invention, the incendiary charge is arranged in an annular chamber c around a tube d, which contains a charge i for expelling a piston f and a base plug e and for igniting the incendiary c o mposition. The time fuse b may have an ordinary time ring or may merely have a compressed powder block m for delaying the flash. The flash passes to the charge i, through a non-return device such a s a chamber t containing a ball j which closes the passage k as soon as the charge i is ignited. Slots r and an igniting-washer s transmit the flash from the charge i to the incendiary composition c before the piston f is completely expelled. The base plug e is normally retained by a disk g of fusible material destroyed by the discharge from the gun, or of thin weak metal easily overcome by the explosion of the charge i. The disk g is held in place by a screwed ring h.
Patent GB-191016687-A (GB)
Title: Improvement of Fire Control: An Instrument for Indicating Bearing and Rate of Change of Bearing.
Inventor: BARR ARCHIBALD
Filed: 1910-07-13
Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 16,687. Barr, A., and Stroud, W. July 13. Gyroscopic apparatus.-An instrument for indicating the bearing and the rate of change of bearing of an object or target relatively to a station such as a moving ship, comprises optical means for producing apparent relative motion between a target and the image of a mark upon a magnetic or gyroscopic compass by imparting an apparent motion to the mark element so as to bring the images of the target and the mark into coincidence in a common field of view, and means for measuring the imparted movement. In the instrument shown in Fig. 5, rays of light from an illuminated slit F in a compass card D are reflected by means of a periscopic collimating system into the lower half of the objective of an observing telescope I, which is kept directed upon the target by turning the whole instrument. The image of the mark F is brought into coincidence with the image of the target by turning the collimating - system by means of a hand-wheel actuating a worm-wheel N geared to the tube carrying the reflecting- prism L, lens G, and prism 2 of the collimating- system, a reflector H being turned at half the rate of the rest of the system after the manner described in Specification 5806/01. The light is reflected into the telescope by a prism 3. The compass bearing is indicated on a graduateddrum 0 fast with the worm-wheel N, or on instruments for indication at a distance, such as described in Specifications 4422/06 and 29,450/06, [both in Class 40, Electric telegraphs &c.], geared to the adjusting-head. The rate of change of bearing may be found by driving the working head by a motor, the working head being geared to a magneto, as described in Specification 15,760/10, [Class 35, Dynamo - electric generators &c.]. Where a gyroscopic compass is used, the slits are formed in a drum carried by the frame of the gyroscope. In apparatus where a number of marks F upon a compass card is used, means for passing per saltum from one mark to the next comprise a reflector provided with mechanism for gradually rotating the reflector in one direction associated with means for intermittently producing a relatively large and rapid rotation in the opposite sense. The Specification also shows the apparatus associated with a range-finder, which may be geared to move together with the apparatus in altitudinal motion.

Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 20,758. Smith, C. Sept. 6. Weight power-storing mechanism.-Alarm mechanism, such as fire alarms in which the signal is released by fusible rings as described in Specifications 16,242/06 and 22,525/07, [both in Class 47, Fire, Extinction &c. of], consists of a bell having a reciprocating clapper operated from driving- mechanism actuated by a falling weight, the release of which occurs when one of the rings fuses. The weight-cord 16, Fig. 3, is led from a fastening around a wheel having staggered projections 17 and passes to the winding-drum 26, Fig. 5, which is mounted in a case 28 and is provided with a stop 34. The drum is held against rotation by a pin 33 pivoted to a lever 35. When the fusible ring gives way, a weight falls on to the lever 35, thus releasing the drum. More than one lever 35 or weight may be employed. The winding-drum 26 is turned by a handle, the slotted barrel 37 of which engages with a stud 38 on the shaft 27. For the purpose of testing the mechanism, a stud 39 is placed in the handle so as to engage with the cam face 40 and thus free the drum 26 when a partial rotation has been made. When re-winding the cord 16 after an alarm has been given, the stud 39 is not employed.

Hopper wagons; tip-wagons.-Vehicles for conveying the cut coal from the coal face in the mine to the hatch boxes, as described in Specification 26,773/08, are used in trains, and each vehicle has divided bottoms which can be canted from the track for unloading. In one form of vehicle, Figs. 1 and 2, which may travel on or without wheels, the side angle-irons S carry the end plates B. The bottom of the vehicle is carried by angleirons G secured to plates F, which extend the length of the vehicle, and have their bent-up ends pivoted to the end plates B at P. The plates F may be normally locked from swinging outwardly by latches 16, on a shaft 15, which pass through the end plate B and engage the edges of projecting strips on the plates F. When the wheel w runs up an incline D over the hatchway, the latches 16 are withdrawn, leaving the parts of the bottom face to swing outwardly, as indicated by the arrows b, as the rollers R on arms A on the plates F move over the fixed guides N in the direction a. In a modified arrangement, Fig. 3, the canting parts G are pivoted at P to brackets B<1> at the sides of the vehicle. Tipping occurs, as shown by the arrows b, when the roller R engages a striker on the track, the wheel W<1> being then over the hatchway.

Abstract: 10,842. Johnston, G. May 4. [Cognate Application, 23,707/11.] Couplings, automatic.-The main objects are (1) to hold the link in an horizontal position when it is presented to the opposite vehicle for coupling, and (2) to prevent damage to a coupling-pin which, having been inadvertently left in its lowered position when the cars were uncoupled, is struck by the entering link at the next coupling operation. As shown on the left of Fig. 1, the link C bears at its inner end on a ridge B formed on the draw-head and is held horizontal by a swinging pawl D which is recessed as shown at L, to press on the link. The ridge B is gapped to allow the pawl to swing freely. If the opposite coupling-pin I happens to be down when the cars come together, the link is forced back over the ridge B, and bending of the pin is avoided. The coupling-pin is supported in the raised position bv a pin or poppet N sliding in a hole in the pawl, and the lower end of the poppet bears on the floor of the draw-head. The coupling-pin is egg-shaped in section, the greater diameter being alined with the direction of the tractional effort. Loss of the pin is prevented by a checkrod 0 or by a chain. In a modification, the pawl D swings on a pivot at its lower end under the action of a spring.
