Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Distributing Liquids on Roads.
Inventor: AITKEN THOMAS
Filed: 1904-12-01
Granted: 1905-06-22
Abstract: 26,148. Aitken, T. Dec. 1. Watering-carts.-Fig. 1 shows part of an apparatus for forcing liquids under pressure into road surfaces. The liquid is stored in a tank B and is drawn out by the pump E, which is driven from the wheel of the vehicle by means of a pinion J and crank K. An air valve 0 is placed on the flexible metal tube M to regulate the amount of air passing along the tube with the liquid, the air being introduced to mix and agitate the liquid. From the pump the liquid passes into a receiver C, provided with safety-valve and pressure gauge, whence it passes through pipes P to the distributing- pipe R. In the operation of the apparatus, air is first pumped into the receiver C and afterwards the liquid until the required pressure is reached.

Patent GB-190500403-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Heaters
Filed: 1905-01-09
Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 403. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Jan. 9. Switches. - The circuit supplying electricity to an electric heater includes a cut-out which is regulated by the weight of the liquid-containing vessel. As shown in Fig. 1, the vessel 1 is supported on three telescopic legs, each of which is surrounded by a spring 8. The leads pass through the handle to the coil 2, and the circuit is completed through the spring arms 9,10 of the cut-out. When the level of liquids is below a certain point, the vessel 1 is raised by the action of the springs and the arms 9, 10 forced apart, thus breaking the circuit. The point at which this interruption occurs can be regulated by means of the springs 8 and by altering the shape and elasticity of the arms of the cut-out.
Patent GB-190504362-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Telephone Systems
Filed: 1905-03-02
Granted: 1906-04-02
Abstract: 4362. Lake, H. H., [Direct-Line General Telephone Co.]. March 2. Telephone systems; telephones.- Relates to an intercommunication telephone system, in which the stations are connected to a set of directline wires common to all the stations and are connected in groups to a series of return wires, each wire constituting a common return for the circuits of the stations in the same group. In this way, six lines serve for fifteen stations. Each station has two sets of contacts and two contactarms, which are returned to their normal position on the receiver being hung up. Fig. 4 shows the arrangements at each station, the contact-arms a, b being mounted on separate spindles, provided with springs, ratchet-wheels g, and detents n in such a way that on the receiver being hung up the arm s releases the detents n and ratchet-wheels so that the springs return the contact-arms to the normal position. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangements, station 1 being connected to station 8. If subscriber 1 wishes to call station 8, he sets the arm a to contact 8 and the arm b to the contact of the line 6, and presses the push w. This closes both contacts 20, 26, and completes a ring- ing-circuit from the battery k, line 22, contact 20, wire 25, arm b, line 6, bell m at station 8, contacts 30, 31, wire 29, line-wire 2, contact 8 at station 1, wire 27, contact 26, and the wire 23 to the battery k. Subscriber 8 removes his receiver, breaking contacts 30, 31 and completing the local circuit, so that, when subscriber 1 releases his ringing-push w, a talking circuit is completed from the battery y at the called station 8, arm a, wire t, transmitter r, primary h, wire u, push w, arm b, line-wire 6 to arm b at station 1, push w, primary h, transmitter r, arm a, and the line 2 to the battery at station 8. In this arrangement, the receiver is in circuit simply with the secondary, and the battery used is that at the called station. The calling-battery k is normally disconnected from both line-wires by the double contacts of the push w, so that induction due to static charge of the line-wires is prevented. If stations 13, 14, 15 are to be communicated with, the lines 4, 5, 6 furnish both the out and the return lines, and for this reason the lines 5, 6 are connected also to contacts 13, 14, 15. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specification No. 146, A.D. 1902.]

Patent GB-190605776-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Production of Nitrate of Ammonia
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1906-03-09
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 5776. Johnson, J. Y., [Feld, W.]. March 9. Ammonium nitrate is prepared by the action of gases containing both ammonia and carbonic acid on an alkali or alkaline-earth nitrate. Coal-gas, coke-oven gas, blast-furnace gas, power gas, and other gases of distillation are instanced. Carbonic acid in any form is, if necessary, added to the gas to precipitate all the alkaline earth or alkali, or this may be effected by treating the nitrate alternately with gas containing ammonia and carbunic acid and with gas containing carbonic acid alone, e.g. pure carbonic acid or combustion products. Solid nitrate may also be present, and thus a highly concentrated ammonium nitrate solution may be obtained. The escaping gas from the first absorber is treated with fresh nitrate to complete the absorption. If sulphuretted hydrogen is present in the gas, it must first be separated, or the gas must be passed into a solution of a salt that does not absorb the sulphuretted hydrogen and which when heated gives off the ammonia and carbonic acid absorbed ; e.g. magnesium salts, such as the sulphate and chloride, may be used. The gases evolved on heating the resultant sludge are diluted by passing air, or purified gases of combustion, through the sludge, so that, when cooled, the gases do not deposit ammonium carbonate in the pipes leading to the absorber.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Automatically Regulating the Currents of Electric Circuits
Filed: 1906-07-02
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 15,033. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens - Schuckert Werke Ges.]. July 2. Switches. - A device for regulating currents, especially the exciting-currents of electric machines, consists of a main relay with step contacts which completes the circuits of secondary relays, and the latter insert or cut out resistance. The relay r, Figs. 1 and 2, is shown as a three-phase motor, the stator of which is connected to a generator g. The armature of the relay is short-circuited, and carries a contact-arm l, which occupies the position shown in full lines in Fig. 1 when the generator is giving its normal potential, the arm being balanced between a spring and the torque of the motor. Spring contacts c', c<2> on each side of the bar l are connected to secondary relays k<1>, k<2>. A the voltage on the mains n rises or falls, the arm l moves to the left or right, touching successively the contacts c' or c<2>, and completing the circuits of the relays k<1>, k<2>. These relays cut out resistances w<1>, or insert resistances w<2> in shunt with the constant resistance w in the exciting-circuit. In a modified form, Fig. 2, the arm l moves a contact-block s to slide over a contact c<1> with a series of steps connected to the relays k<1>. The arm l is free to move between two stops f, f<2>, the latter being insulated and connected to the relay k<2>. The stop f may be a contact connected to another relay, similar to k<2> but arranged to act on the circuit in the opposite manner.
