Patent GB-182839-A (GB)
Title: Telephone systems
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1921-01-21
Abstract: 182,839. Western Electric Co., Ltd., (Western Electric Co., Inc.). Jan. 21, 1921. Automatic exchange systems.-A relay for testing the busy or idle condition of a wanted subscriber's line is connected to the test terminal through contacts of a second transiently-energized relay, the circuits being such that the test relay becomes energized immediately if the line is busy, in which case it locks up the second relay and connects busy tone to the calling line, but if the line is idle the test relay does not become energized until the relapse of the second relay, whereupon it causes ringing current to be transmitted. The invention is described in its application to a relay connector, comprising tens and units ccunting chains and tens and units series of connecting relays. The line relay 306 energizes a slow-release relay 307 which grounds the holding wire 308. The tens impulses are repeated to a relay 313 and cause the successive energization of counting relays 316, 324, &c. In response to the first impulse, relay 313 locks itself in series with relay 316, but as long as ground is connected direct to relay 313 relay 316 is short-circuited. At the termination of the impulse however this short-circuit is removed and relay 316 becomes energized, locking itself up, unlocking relay 313, and transferring the impulse circuit to the next relay 324, which accordingly becomes energized at the termination of the next impulse, and so on. As long as impulses are passing, a slow-release relay 314 is energized in series with relay 313, but at the termination of the digit, relay 314 relapses and energizes a relay 315, which locks itself up and transfers the impulse circuit to the lower series of counting relays 319, 320, &c., so that the impulses of the final digit cause the successive energization of these relays. At the termination of the final digit the relapse of relay 314 connects ground to tens and units wires, such as 325, 322, selected by the upper and lower counting chains, to energize the appropriate connecting relays 323, 326. A relay 327, controlled by relay 314, remains energized for a moment and connects the test wire 329 to the left-hand winding of a relay 311. If the wanted line is busy the relay 311 becomes energized, locking itself up, locking the relay 327, and closing the circuit of a busy-tone transformer 334. If, however, the wanted line is idle the relay 311 does not at this stage become energized, but the relapse of the relay 327 a moment later connects the test wire 329 to the grounded right-hand winding of relay 311, which becomes energized in series with the cut-off relay 328. A relay 330 is now energized and connects up a source of ringing current 332. On the reply of the called subscriber a relav 331 becomes energized, locking itself up and completing the talking connection.

Abstract: 1,070,111. Making drills and reamers; rolling plates. FRED FOWLER Ltd. Jan. 16, 1964 [Jan. 24, 1963], No. 2966/63. Headings B3A and B3M. A machine for forming elongated articles of non-circular cross-section, particularly twist drills and reamers, comprises a plurality of dies 70-73, Fig. 5, each inclined to the axis of the workpiece 34 and which co-operate together to form in a transverse plane a nip completely enclosing the workpiece, and means for moving the dies substantially parallel with said plane so as to rotate the workpiece and cause the nip to move longitudinally along the workpiece and thus form it into the desired cross-section. In the production of twist drills, high-speed steel blanks 34, Fig. 1, are stacked in a magazine 33 and dispensed individually from the-bottom by a pneumatically operated motor 42, 43. Each blank falls into a funnel 44 leading to a first high-frequency heating station 36, a heat soaking station 37 and a second high-frequency heating station 38. Each heating station comprises a silica-glass tube 41 surrounded by the heating coil. Passage of the blanks through the station is controlled by movable platforms 45- 48 actuated by spring-loaded pneumatic motors 49-52 respectively. To permit ready access to the die station 39, the entire heating and feeding assembly is rotatable about a vertical post 32 which can be lifted by a pneumatic motor 40. The doubly heated blank, when released by platform 48, falls into the die station 39 against a vertical stop 100. It is then engaged with a running fit by a three jaw chuck, 95, Fig. 7 (not shown), actuated by pneumatic motors 92. The dies 70-73, which have flute and land forming edges, Fig. 6 (not shown), are then moved simultaneously in perpendicular directions transversely across the blank to form the flutes and lands, meanwhile the stop 100 has been withdrawn by a pneumatic motor 9.9 and as the dies finally release the blank, Fig. 9 (not shown), it falls against an ejector 97 which discharges it from the machine. The dies 70-73 are carried by slides 59-62, Fig. 2 (not shown), shaped to provide mutual support for each other, Fig. 4 (not shown). They are actuated through pin- and-slot mechanism 101, 102 by a common oscillating member 83 driven by a doubleacting pneumatic motor 85. A pneumatic control system is described, Fig. 11 (not shown), with pilot values actuated by a lug 120 on the piston-rod 84, and an automatic change-over mechanism for the double acting motor 85. The drill blanks are finally heat-treated and ground. Another embodiment is described, Fig. 12 (not shown), for forming a reamer with longitudinal flutes. The dies 70-73 may be curved and mounted for arcuate movement across the workpiece, Figs. 13. 14 (not shown).

Abstract: 1453633 Magnetic storage arrangements WESTERN ELECTRIC CO Inc 23 Jan 1974 [29 Jan 1973] 03048/74 Heading H3B Magnetic bubbles are propagated by an inplane rotating magnetic field along a path formed by a strip or ring domain in the same or an adjacent magnetic layer, the strip or ring having undulating domain walls to which the bubbles are coupled, the undulations being periodically varied by the in-plane field and interacting with the bubbles to cause them to advance along the strip or ring in a direction determined by the sense of field rotation. In Figs. 1 and 2A a non-magnetic substrate 13 supports both a layer 12 in which a meandering ring domain 14 is established and a layer 11 having magnetic bubbles 17 coupled to an undulating wall of the domain: Fig. 4 shows how a rotating magnetic field H R  disturbs the undulations to effect the bubble advance. Bubble movement takes place between a generator 66 and a magneto-resistive detector 67. In a modification, Fig. 5, the magnetic structure includes a further layer 12<SP>1</SP> occupied by a strip domain with straight walls 69. Each layer 11, 12, 12<SP>1</SP> may consist of Sm x Y 3-x Fe 5-y O 12  garnet with the layer characteristics determined by constituent ratios and respective thickness. The layers are grown by epitaxial deposition from the liquid phase on a substrate of gadolinium gallium garnet. In a further embodiment, Figs. 6 and 7, a conical bubble 70 is coupled to the undulating walls 71 of a strip domain in a single layer of a hexagonal ferrite. Straight line domain propagation may be produced by crystalline isotropy, a change in direction being obtained by using a local bias field. It is suggested that bubble drive may be effected by a variable bias field.
