Abstract: 300. Marks, E. C. R., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Jan. 5. Vacuum tubes for use as relays for the received currents in wireless or other signalling. The strength of a local current flowing through the vacuum tube is changed by small changes in a magnetic field in which the discharge takes place, effected by variations in the received currents. A glass tube a, Fig. 1, containing a highly rarefied gas, is provided with an anode d and cathode b connected to a battery c and receiver s. The cathode b is surrounded by a coil f, through which passes the current, the variations of which are to be amplified. When the intensity of the magnetic field lies between certain limits, small changes in it produce large changes in the current through the receiver s. A supplementary coil g is provided, the current in which is adjusted till the tube is most sensitive. For high frequencies a modified form, shown in Fig. 4, is necessary, owing to the sluggish response at the anode. The tube has two cathodes b1, b2, the local current being normally equally divided between them. The field coils f1, f2 and one of the supplementary coils g1 are wound in one direction, the other supplementary coil g2 being wound oppositely so that a change in the current in the coils f1, f2 increases the field round one cathode and decreases it round the other, causing equivalent changes in the local currents through the wires e1, e2. The receiver s may be operated inductively as indicated, or else connected as a shunt between the two cathodes b1, b2, choking coils being placed in the wires e1, e2 and between the battery c and the anode d, and condensers being placed in the receiver circuit to prevent any steady current from flowing. The anode may take the form of a cylinder or split cylinder surrounding the cathode or cathodes.

Abstract: 1360. Bale, W., and Hopkins, L. H. Jan. 18. Magnesium and like powder and ribbon lamps. -An electrically-controlled flashlight apparatus is made in the form of a single portable unit comprising a reflector K, a battery holder C, an igniter tray having contact terminals B<4>, B<5>, and a detachable igniter plug. This is preferably a wedge-shaped wooden plug L, Fig. 4, with a strip M of metallic-filament lamp wire such as tantalum. It is inserted between the terminals E<4>, B<5>, and a packet of flashlight powder is placed on it. On closing the electric circuit, the wire M gives a large initial flash and ignites the whole charge at once. In a modification, the wire M is of magnesium, and no flashlight powder is used. The base of the apparatus may be divided into three chambers, a battery chamber C with a sliding door C<2>, a chamber A for storing igniter plugs and flashlight charges, and a chamber B open at the bottom, and having an aperture B<1> at the top. Under the top is an insulating plate B<2> with a smaller aperture B<3> fitted with the contacts B<4>, B<5>, which are connected to resilient terminals E<1> in contact with the battery terminals. The apparatus may be suspended by hooks N, N<1>, which may swivel in the reflector.

Title: Arrangements for Automatically Varying the Elevation of a Gun for a Given Range According to the Height of the Target.
IPC: F41G1/393
Filed: 1911-01-25
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 1929. Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik. Feb. 28, 1910, [Convention date]. Field carriages.-Relates to sights of the kind having automatic means for correcting the range-elevation for large angles of site. The invention cohsists in the provision of an adjustable arc-shaped guide for a pin, which pin is connected by a link with the sighting-device When the gun is elevated, the pin moves along the guide and imparts the correction to the line of sight. For guns with independent line of sight, the pin is connected by a link with gearing which imparts an independent movement to the gun-barrel, during the pointing operation, for correcting the range-elevation for the angle of site of the target. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the pin 7 slides in a slot 6 in an arm 5 which moves with the gun 1 in elevation; the pin is guided by a groove 12 in an arc-shaped guide 10 pivoted at 14 to the gun carriage. The pin 7 is connected with the sighting-device 26, which is pivoted concentrically with the trunnion-axis 3, by an arm 9 and link 8. The sight is adjusted for range by rocking the guide 10 about the pivot 14 by a worm-gear 18, 20. When the gun is elevated, the pin 7 travels along the guide 10 and is moved radially in the slot 6, thereby acting upon the sighting-device 26 and continuously reducing the angle between the line of sight and the gun-axis as the elevation proceeds. The connexion between the link 8 and arm 9 may be adjustable so that independent corrections may be made, for example, for speed of target, and the arm 5 may carry a curved guide, inclined to the vertical plane, for imparting the drift correction in known manner to the line of sight. In a modification, the range adjustment of the guide 10 is made by displacing the guide parallel to itself. The independent line of sight mechanism is shown in Fig. 12. The gun 1 is elevated by a hand-wheel 62, which operates pinions 52 on either side of the gun through bevel-gearing 57 and worm-gearing contained in a casing 56. The pinions 52 gear with arcs 51 pivoted upon the trunnion axis 3, the left-hand one of which carries the sighting- devices. The pointing is effected by pinions 53 operated by worm gearing on the left-hand side of the gun-carriage. A toothed sector 75, also pivoted upon the trunnion axis 3, gears with a pinion 76 connected by a friction clutch with the hand-wheel 62; the sector 75 is also connected by a link 74 with a pin 69, which is guided by a vertical groove 72 in the carriage 15 and by an adjustable arc-shaped guide 70 carried by a bracket 66, 67, 68 fixed to the boss of the arc 51. When the pointing-gear 53 is operated, the pin 69 is moved radially in the slot 72 by the guide 70 and rocks the sector 75, which, through the pinion 76 and the ranging- gear rotates the pinions 52 and corrects the range-elevation for the angle of site of the target.

In passing down the tubes i the air is separated into its constituents as set forth, and the liquid residue, being nearly pure oxygen, collects in the bottom of the casing b of the apparatus and seals the lower ends of the tubes i.
