Abstract: 3446. Glenn, S. L., and British Pneumatic Railway Signal Co. Feb. 10. Electric operation and control.-Relates to means for protecting an electric motor used to work railway points. The arrangement is such that, when the motor gets overloaded in consequence of the points sticking, a high resistance is thrown into the circuit by an automatic switch actuated by two electro-magnetic windings 1, 2 connected in series, 1 being a winding of low resistance and 2 a winding of high resistance normally short-circuited. The automatic switch, the source of current 30, and the motor-armature 31 are arranged in circuit with a two-way switch 33, 34 worked by the signalman's lever and a reversing-switch 37, 38 of the kind described in Specification 25,344/11. When an overload arises, the contact 23 breaks the shortcircuit and puts the high-resistance winding in. The parts are restored when the current strength falls or when the circuit is broken at the signalman's switch.

Abstract: 9451. Torley, C., and Matter, O. April 22. Phenolic ethers; chlorphenolic ethers.-Ethers are obtained by heating mono- or poly-chlor derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons under pressure with less caustic alkali and for a less period than is necessary to obtain the corresponding phenols. The chlorhydrocarbons may also be heated under pressure with an alkali phenolate or alcoholate. If less than the stochiometrical proportion of combined alkali is present, chlorphenolic ethers are obtained, which may then be etherified with any desired alcoholate or phenolate, or converted according to the processes of Specifications 25,555/12 and 9450/13 into phenol ethers containing free hydroxy groups. In the above processes, copper and other heavy metals may be used as catalysts.

Abstract: 1376. Aktiebolaget Lux. Jan. 20, 1913, [Convention date]. Actuating. - A valve device, particularly applicable for periodically interrupting the supply of gas to signalling-apparatus, is actuated by a pendulum, balancewheel, or like device kept in motion by the impact of a jet of gas. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the valve 3 has a pin 6 adapted to be depressed to open the valve by an arm 10 on a spring balancewheel 8. When the valve is open, the jet of gas plays against a recess 12 in the arm 10 to keep the balancewheel moving. In a modification, the gas from the valve flows into a chamber closed by a diaphragm, which, when extended, hits the arm 10. A pendulum may be substituted for the balance-wheel. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the balance-wheel acts through a centrifugal governor 11 to enable the balance-wheel to make several oscillations between each opening of the valve. In a modification, the governor is rotated by a turbine.
