Patent GB-764988-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to counters
IPC: G06M1/26
Filed: 1954-11-26
Abstract: 764,988. Counting-apparatus. ZEISS-STIFTUNG, C., [trading as ZEISS, C. [Firm of]]. Nov. 26, 1954 [Dec. 11, 1953], No. 34364/54. Class 106 (1). In a counter having continuous gearing transfer mechanism the numeral drums may be correctly aligned when a reading is to be taken. The lowest order numeral drum 1, Fig. 1, is fixed to a cog-wheel 3 and a star-wheel 4 and is normally driven by a gear 21. A gear 7 is connected to the numeral drum 1 by a coil spring 18 which normally retains a pin 16 on the gear 7 against a pin 17 on the drum 1. The gear 7 is integral with a pinion 8 which through gears 10, 11 on a shaft 9 drives a gear 14 fixed to the numeral drum 15 of the second order. A similar transfer mechanism exists between the numeral drums of the succeeding orders. When a reading of the numeral drums is desired, a shaft 26 is rotated for half a revolution through a hand wheel 30 and gears 29, 28. The shaft 26 carries cams 32 and 27 which control spring-loaded levers 33 and 24, Figs. 4 and 3, respectively. The arrangement is such that at the beginning of the movement of the shaft 26, the lever 33 is moved by the spring 41 and cam 32 so that a roller 5 carried thereby engages the star-wheel 4 and thus correctly locates and locks the lowest order numeral drum. The first lever 24 is then moved by the spring 40 and cam 27 and an extension of the lever meets one of three pins 20, 21, 22 of the gear 10 and locates it in the predetermined position 21<SP>1</SP>, the pin in the position 22<SP>1</SP> then locking the lever 24. The movement of the gear 10 is transmitted through the gears 11, 14 to the second order drum 15 which is thus correctly located for reading. The succeeding drums 151 are located in succession by the cams 27 and levers 24. During movement of each gear 10 the spring 18 of the associated lower order drum is tensioned so that on return of the shaft 26 to the initial position the drums are moved to their correct relative positions.

Abstract: Bran, substantially free from loose flour, is roasted in a rotary cylinder at a temperature of approximately 310-315 DEG  F. for three to six minutes to dextrinize partially the adhering starch and is removed and quickly cooled by a blast of cold air.  The roasted bran mixed with water containing sugar and salt is placed in a rotary steam cooker and cooked by steam under a pressure of about fifteen pounds per square inch.  The cooked bran may be transferred to a drying vat where it is stirred in a blast of hot air until its moisture content falls to about twenty per cent after which it is tempered for eighteen hours in an airtight bin: the tempered bran is then steamed.  The cooked bran, whether or not submitted to the last treatment, is fed in a fine uniform stream between flaking rolls the resulting flakes being passed into a rotary toasting oven where they are heated by air at a temperature of about 500 DEG  F.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of titanium pigments
IPC: C09C1/36
Filed: 1934-12-08
Abstract: The particles of titanium white pigments are coated with difficultly soluble fluorides such as magnesium fluoride or barium fluoride.  The coating may be accomplished by precipitating the fluoride on to the titanium pigment or by adding to the pigment a solution of a complex fluoride, such as a salt of hydrofluosilicic acid, which is then converted into the corresponding fluoride by heating.  It is preferred to use about 20--30 per cent by weight of the fluoride, calculated on the titanium pigment, to form the coating, through amounts up to 50 per cent may be used.  According to the Provisional Specification any difficultly soluble fluorine compound may be used, and it may be merely incorporated with the titanium white pigment.
