Patent GB-190922731-A (GB)
Title: Apparatus for Facilitating the Coding, Decoding and Checking of Condensed Telegrams, and for Correcting Errors Made in the Transmission of same.
Inventor: SKILTON JAMES HAROLD
IPC: G09C1/04
Filed: 1909-10-05
Granted: 1910-10-05
Abstract: 22,731. Skilton, J. H. Oct. 5. Codes.-A coding-device, more particularly for converting two codebook numbers of five or six digits (up to 118999) into words of ten letters, and vice versa, provides a check figure for determining the correctness of the message, which figure can be transmitted in the known manner of reversing the consonantvowel order of certain syllables, and means for correcting errors made in transmission. The apparatus comprises a plate bearing rows of figures and consonants arranged in sectors concentric with a pivot about which the plate moves between an upper and a lower member a, b, the plate being operated by a pivoted handle to bring certain of its figures and letters beneath apertures in the upper plate a. Fig. 3 shows the arrangement of figures and consonants. For five - figure codes, the number to be divided is split up into groups of two digits, which are in turn exposed through the openings g ... l, Fig. 1, and each corresponding syllable is made up of the consonant exposed at the opening f, Fig. 1, and the vowel by which the opening g ... l in which the group appears is denoted, as shown in Fig. 1. A check figure is obtained by adding up the digits composing the code number and exposing the sum in one of the openings c, d, e. The figure appearing in c is the check figure, and by the position of this figure, or of figures which add up to it, in a table, Fig. 2, are obtained the syllables the consonant-vowel order of which in the word transmitted is to be reversed. The word is decoded by an inversion of the abovedescribed process, and the correctness is checked by the agreement of the check figure indicated by the reversed syllables with that obtained by the summation of the code-number digits. In the event of an error, the incorrect half of the word is found from the context and is examined syllable by syllable; thus, a number of possible combinations of digits is found by assuming first the consonant and then the vowel to be incorrect, and a second set of possible combinations is found in the openings n ... t, Fig. 1, from the difference between the cabled and the calculated check figures which is exposed at m. By comparing these two sets the allowable combinations can be greatly reduced in number, and the right one of these, if any, found from the context. A slight alteration in the figures on the movable plate and in the slitting up of the code numbers is made for six-figure codes. The apparatus may be in watch form and operated by wheels geared to a milled nut. Strips of variously-coloured celluloid are attached beneath some or all of the apertures in the plate a. According to the Provisional Specification, the rows of figures and consonants may be distinctively coloured, and the movable plate may be operated by an extension thereof.

Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 29,501. Elia, G. E. Dec. 16. Transhipping.-For coaling at sea, coalcarrying receptacles are transmitted through flexible pneumatic tubes stretched between the collier and the receiving-vessel.

The cylindrical coal-containers are forced along the tube and delivered to a shoot on the receiving-vessel, and the empty containers are returned through the other tube. The delivery end of the load-carrying tube is connected to the return tube by a pipe c'.

Title: Improvements in Electric Switches.
IPC: H01H9/00
Filed: 1910-03-14
Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 6363. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. March 14 Controllers, drum.-A drum controller is provided with motor-reversing drum contacts 15, and coacting contact-fingers 20, and, in addition, with an auxiliary contact 27 and fingers 28, 29, the auxiliary contact being adapted to close and open the circuit of a solenoid which automatically controls the main switch. An insulating- plate 12 carries the auxiliary contact and separates it from the main contacts, to avoid arcing. The contact fingers 20, 29, which are preferably spring-mounted, are carried by an insulating - plate 17 fixed to the back of the casing. Fig. 3 shows the motor connexions. When the controller is turned, say, to the left, the contacts 15<a>, 15<b>, and 15<c>, 15<d> bridge the contacts 20<a>, 20<c>, and 20d, 20<e>, respectively, so connecting-up the armature 41 and series field 33. On the further movement of the controller, the contact 27 bridges the contacts 28<a>, 28<b>, and closes the circuit 47 through the solenoid of the main switch 35, which is thus lifted and closes the main circuit through the motor. At the same time, the switch 35 closes, at the contact 53, a circuit through the winding of the automatic rheostat 45, which then rises and cuts-out resistance. Movement of the controller to the right from the " off " position completes the circuits similarly, but reversed in direction through the armature 41; the contact 27 in this case bridges the contacts 29<a>, 29b on the right. By employing two pairs of contacts 28, 29, as shown, limit switches 50, 51 can be introduced, for use in working elevators &c. When one of the limit switches is tripped, the circuit controlling the main switch can only be closed again by moving the controller to the reverse position.

Abstract: 13,225. Wechsler, M. May 31. Caramel and caramel substitutes.-Caramel is produced by heating a carbohydrate such as invert sugar, maltose, grape sugar, or commercial glucose to a high temperature, and then adding liquid ammonia, the mixture, after absorption is completed, being raised to a higher temperature until caramelized. The carbohydrate, grape sugar for example, is diluted to such an extent that its boiling-point is about 119‹ C., and is heated to a temperature of 107‹ C. Liquid ammonia (specific gravity 88) is added gradually beneath the surface of the sugar. The mixture is then heated to a temperature of 119‹ C. The process may be carried out in several stages, the temperature of the mass being raised to 119‹ C. after each addition of ammonia, and subsequently reduced to 107‹ C. before the next addition.

Abstract: 20,749. Kosstovitch, O. Sept. 19. Lumber.-Composite boards, slabs, plates, &c. consisting of layers of wood glued or otherwise cemented together with their grain crossing are placed in an auxiliary press and then compressed in a main press which is only occupied until the desired pressure is obtained, this pressure being then retained by means of the auxiliary press. In the form shown in Fig. 1. the auxiliary press consists of a top plate 10, columns 12, and a bottom plate 11 provided with wheels 15 running on rails 16. When charged, the auxiliary press is run into the main press, in which the layers of wood are subjected to pressure from an hydraulic plunger 4. The wood is then clamped in the auxiliary press by means of nuts 13 on the columns 12, and, after lowering the plunger, the press is run into a tunnel or other drying-chamber. The pressing surfaces of the main press correspond in shape to the surfaces of the top plate 10 and bottom plate 11. The wood layers may be dried before the application of adhesive by first subjecting them to pressure from the main press in the auxiliary press to squeeze out a large proportion of the moisture, then clamping them in the auxiliary press to retain the pressure, and finally running the auxiliary press into the drying tunnel or chamber.
