Title: Improvements relating to the use of Nitrogen Fixing Organisms in Agriculture or Horticulture.
Inventor: BOTTOMLEY WILLIAM BEECROFT
IPC: C05F11/08
Filed: 1909-05-13
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 11,365. Bottomley, W. B. May 13. Manures. - The growth of non-leguminous plants is increased by means of a mixed culture containing organisms obtained from the root tubercles of leguminous plants and aerobic organisms, present in soil, capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen. A drop from cultures of each of the organisms is mixed with distilled water, and the mixture added to a medium consisting of an aqueous solution of maltose, mannite, monobasic potassium phosphate, and magnesium sulphate. The medium is kept at from 22-249 C., and a milky liquid results, which may be used for moistening seeds or watering plants. For transport of the organisms, finely-sifted soil, ground peat, or the like, which has been dried and sterilized, is impregnated with the milky liquid, and the moistened material is dried at a low temperature, for example from 30-40‹ C. After transport, it may be mixed with water or applied directly to the soil. A more concentrated form of the culture is obtained by adding agar to the medium in which the mixed organisms are grown. The culture of the aerobic organisms may be prepared by adding ordinary cultivated soil to an aqueous solution of mannite, potassium phosphate, and magnesium sulphate, to which calcium carbonate has been added, and then cultivating the brown scum which appears upon it on agar plates containing a medium of the same composition.

Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 11,700. Carey, J. Nov. 11. Mountings.-Consists in the combination of epicyclic gearing contained in a drum g, Fig. 1, and controlled through worm gearing k, h by variable-speed friction gearing n, l with an arrangement of alined driving and driven shafts a, b and a parallel countershaft 5. The invention is stated to be applicable to gun mountings. A clutch 11 on the shaft b may be engaged by a clutch 10 slidable on the shaft a for direct driving. Other forward speeds are effected through the epicyclic gearing when a chainwheel 6 is connected to the shaft a by a clutch 10. Wheels 7, c on the shaft 5 are connected by chains to the wheel 6 and a wheel d, respectively. Planetary pinions e, Fig. 3, carried by a loose gear d mesh with teeth upon the drum g and also with a gear f, which is loose upon the shaft b and carries clutch teeth r. When the pinion f is driven forwards, balls u in inclined recesses thrust the pinion f to the left so as to cause the teeth r to engage teeth s upon the shaft b and so drive that shaft. This forward driving of the pinion f takes place when the gear d is driven from the shaft 5 and the friction gearing l, n drives the drum g through the worm gearing k, h. For reversed driving, the shaft 5 is driven reversely through spur gears 8, 9, which are brought into action by a clutch 15, and the gear d is positively connected to the shaft b by a clutch y. The clutches 15, y are simultaneously operated for this purpose by slotted levers 20, 23.
