Granted: 1913-07-08
Abstract: 12,423. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T.]. July 8, 1912. Drawings to Specification. Automatic and semi - automatic exchange systems.-The system described is the same as in Specification 15,952/12. A calling subscriber is connected by first and second line-finding switches to an idle first-selector trunk, and thence by a lateral connexion through a distributing-switch to an operator, who enquires the wanted number and writes it down on a key-set, the connexion being then completed automatically through numerical selectors. The connexion is described as passing through two main exchanges, equipped with group selectors, and two ' satellites ' or district offices, at which only line-finders and line-selectors are provided. The claims in the present Specification relate to the busy signal and release arrangements. If the wanted line is found to be engaged, the second, third, &c. selectors are immediately restored to normal, while the sequence switch associated with the first selector is moved through the talking-position into a further position in which a signal device is set in operation to notify the calling subscriber and the supervising operator that the connexion cannot be obtained. By this arrangement, the interexchange trunk lines beyond the first selector are at once rendered available for further service. The release of the call-finders and first selector is initiated by the operator depressing a release key after the calling subscriber has hung up his instrument. Specifications 20,840/09, 16,867/11, 23,508/11, 16,151/12, 12,424/13, 12,425/13, and 12,426/13 are referred to.

Abstract: 19,904. Hunt, W. Sept. 3. Variable speed gearing comprises an epicyclic train, which has elements connected to driving and d r i v e n shafts, and is automatically controlled by having a third element connected to inertia masses so as to oscillate them at speeds depending on the speed of that third element. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a four-element epicyclic train is employed, the additional element being used to effect reversed driving. The driving-shaft 1 is secured to a sun-gear 2, which meshes with double planet gears 7 carried by the driven shaft 3. Gears 8, 10 meshing with the gears 7 are secured to clutch members 12, 13 adapted to be engaged alternatively by a clutch member 14 sliding on the boss 16 of a gear 19. The gear 19 is connected by a chain 30 to a gear 29 upon a shaft 24 turning in fixed bearings. Fly-wheels 33, 34 loose upon the shaft 1 are connected by rods 31, 32 to cranks 25, 26 on the shaft 24. The gear 2 turns and the loaded shaft 3 resists, causing the epicyclic gearing to operate. The shaft 24 is thus driven, and the fly-wheels 33, 34 are oscillated so as to yield an automatically-variable drive, in the manner described in Specification 21,414/12. The speed of the shaft 3 may also be varied independently by adjustable link-work between the shaft 24 and the fly-wheels. The invention is applicable to motor-vehicles.
