Abstract: 708,993. X-ray apparatus. BERGHAGEN, N. April 25, 1952 [April 26, 1951], No. 10443/52. Class 98(1) Apparatus for dental radiography, in which a film holding device including a film cassette holder mounted on a rod is adjustably arranged on a rod carrying member which is arranged in a fixed position, or is capable of being fixed, relatively to the anti-cathode and the X-rayv cone, and in which the film holding device is adjustable relatively to the rod carrying member so as to be adjustable into different positions along a line parallel to the plane of the film cassette holder and extending at right-angles to the central ray and the axis of the X-ray cone, is characterized in that the rod carrying member is provided with slits or apertures adapted to receive the end of the cassette holder rod and arranged in the same plane in a row along a line perpendicular to the axis of the X-ray cone. As shown, a film holder consisting of a plate 1, with upturned edges 2 for holding a film cassette, is mounted on a bent plate 4, which in turn is fixed to an arm 6 of a plate bent at right-angles. The other arm 7 is pivoted to an arm 8 by means of a bolt 13 which can be tightened to clamp arm 7 at any desired angle to arm 8, this angle being indicated by a scale on a member 16. Arm 8 is clamped in a holder 18, which is mounted on a ring 21 sliding on a ring 20 on a cone 19 of an X-ray tube. Ring 21 may be clamped in any position of rotation. Holder 18 has a number of rectangular-sectioned slots, equally spaced apart and parallel to the axis' of cone 19, into any one of which the squared end of rod 8 may be placed to abut against the end of the slot, the slot ends all lying in a plane perpendicular to the axis of cone 19. A locking member 30 bears cam surfaces, e.g. conical, one to each slot, and a threaded end which screws into a part of holder 18 to clamp rod 8 in whichever slot it occupies. The apparatus enables radiographs to be made in two or more positions which are fixed with respect to the X-ray tube, the shadows of a raised point 31 and the edges 2 acting as reference marks. The radiographs may be used for stereo-radiography, or for finding the position of internal features of objects by methods similar to those used in photogrammetry. The apparatus illustrated is designed for dental use. The patient bites the plate 4, which is overlaid with a plastic substance, so that the cassette lies behind the teeth to be examined.
Patent GB-309180-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in a new and improved method of operating glass-plate rolling and annealing devices
IPC: C03B25/08
Filed: 1929-04-04
Abstract: 309,180. Naamlooze Vennootschap Maatschappij tot Beheer en Exploitatie van Octrooien. April 7, 1928, [Convention date]. Charging; charges, conveying.-Relates to the method of making glass plates in which charges of glass are rolled intermittently by a double-roll machine a, and the plates so formed are received on a roller table d which conveys them to a roller leer f. The invention consists in driving the rollers of the table d at the same speed as the leer rolls g, and in moving the table d towards the leer, while receiving a glass plate, at a speed which is equal to the difference between the high speed at which the plate is rolled and the low speed at which it is carried through the leer. When the table stops at the mouth of the leer, the glass plate passes on to the leer rollers without stopping or changing speed. In order that the plates may follow one another through the leer at close intervals, the leer rollers, during the time between the reception of one plate and the introduction of the next, are alternately rotated in opposite directions without changing their circumferential speed. A reciprocating movement is thus imparted to the plates in the leer, and the tail end of the plate which was last pushed into the leer is kept near the entrance until the succeeding plate is introduced. The leer may be provided with a fore chamber h into which table enters, while a plate is still being rolled, in order to prevent the glass from cooling too rapidly before it enters the leer.

Title: Improvements in or relating to vapour generating and superheating units and a methodof regulating the temperature of superheat therein
Inventor: HOLFORD-STREVENS LAWRENCE ST G
IPC: F22G5/04
Filed: 1952-04-28
Abstract: 721,614. Steam superheaters; water-tube steam boilers. BABCOCK & WILCOX, Ltd. April 28, 1953 [April 28, 1952], No. 10697/52. Classes 123 (2) and 123 (3). A steam boiler has two generating tube-lined furnace chambers 1a and 1b separated by a partition 2 formed of closely spaced generating tubes, each furnace being fired by pulverised fuel burners 35a and 35b, (not shown) and locating in its upper part one half of the tube platens 40 of a radiant superheater 37. The combustion gases leave the furnaces through tube screens 24a and 24b and flow through lateral passes 26a and 26b in which are disposed superheater' sections 49a and 49b. The gases then divide into three streams for downward flow through generating tube-lined passes 65a, 65b and 65c, the passes 65a and 65b housing convection superheater sections 90a and 90b whilst pass 65c locates a reheater 100. The gas flow through each pass is controlled by dampers 110a and 110b, 110c, (not shown) at their respective outlets, the gases discharging into a common duct 112 in which are provided an air heater and an economiser. The generating tubes lining the furnace chambers and convection passes are connected to a steam-andwater drum 5 from which steam flows through superheater 37 and then divides into two streams, the first passing through superheater 90a and an attemperator 116 and then through a cross-over connection 117, superheater 49b and pipe 123 to the main steam outlet duct 124. The second stream passes through superheater 90b, attemperator 119, superheater 49a and' through pipe 122 to duct 124. The attemperators may be of the spray type or surface type as described in Specifications 559,956 and 583,280 respectively. The cross connection of superheater sections 90a, 49b and 90b, 49a reduces inequalities between the steam temperatures in pipes 122 and 123 and the invention also provides for the automatic control of dampers 110a to correct any inequality of temperature in the outlet headers 93a, 93b of the superheaters 90a and 90b. The steam temperature in the outlet duct 124 is controlled by regulating the amount of water passing to the attemperators. In a modification, the dampers such as 110a are omitted from the outlets of ducts 65a and 65b and the steam temperatures in outlet headers 93a and 93b of superheater sections 90a and 90b are equalised by recirculating a controlled flow of furnace 'gas from the outlet of each down pass 65a, 65b to the furnace chambers 1a and 1b respectively by means of fans 156a and 156b (not shown).
