Notched hopper-boards E fit over the cross-bars H, and are removed after the concrete has been rammed in. The concrete is then struck level with the top of the moulding-boards. The moulding-boards 'are secured together at the corner of a wall between an internal angle-piece a<6>, Fig. 2, and clamping- ribs a<5>. Vertical slotted guides a' are secured to a sole-piece a<3>, built into the wall and resting on a post a<4>, and ensure the vertical construction of the wall. Collapsible cores for use in moulding hollow or cavity walls are constructed of sides q and curved corner-pieces p, which are hinged to a bevelled cap h and moved in and out by a handle l, spindle k, a cam-disk m, and toggle links n. Lugs r, s, fixed to the hood, rest in sockets e and on lugs f fixed to the crossbars H.

Abstract: 390. Schulz, C. P. Jan. G. Reservoir pens.-In self-filling reservoir pens of the type in which a piston is detachably connected to an operating rod, the rod and piston engage to effect the movement of the piston by surface contact only, no hooking, clutching, or other mechanical devices being employed. The piston-rod e passes through a rear plug c, and is provided at one end with a spherical head e', and at the other end with a cap e<2> adapted to screw on to the plug c. The piston d is made of rubber or other resilient material in the shape shown, and is wound with a strip of cork d<3> so as to fit the barrel tightly. With the piston initially in the position shown in Fig. 1, the pen is filled by unscrewing the cap e<2> and drawing the piston up by a slight pull on the rod, the ink being sucked in through the nib and feed. The piston - rod can then be returned to its original position. To refill the pen subsequently, the piston-rod is pulled outwards, and by a strong pull the head e<1> can be drawn right through the piston at the top of the pen. The piston can then be pushed to the lower end of the barrel, the head e<1> again forced through the piston, when the suction operation may be performed in the manner previously described.

Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 26,863. British Thomson-Houston Co., and David, E. I. Nov. 30. Motor - generators.- The voltage of the generator of a fly - wheel motor-generator set is maintained constant by increasing the excitation of the generator as its speed falls. Specification 8150/11, which describes a method of accomplishing this object, is referred to. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, an induction motor a, an exciter b, a generator c, and a fly-wheel d are mounted on the same shaft. The rotor e of the motor a is connected to a resistance f, portions of which are inserted by contactors g, as described in Specification 6567/09, [Class Electric motor control systems]. The current in the field winding h of the exciter b is controlled by a hand-operated rheostat k, and a portion of this resistance or a separate resistance is short-circuited by a contactor m when the contactors g are operated, thereby keeping the voltage of the exciter b constant. When necessary, a rheostat o is placed in the field circuit of the generator c, a portion of this resistance being similarly controlled by a contactor n. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the arm q of a liquid slip regulator is mechanically connected to the arm of a rheostat r in the field circuit of the exciter b, and a similarlyoperated rheostat may be placed in the field circuit of the generator. In the further modification shown in Fig. 3, the value of the rotor resistance is varied by means of sliding brushes s, the rotation of which simultaneously varies a resistance w in the exciter field circuit, which also contains a hand-operated rheostat v. Similar resistances may be placed in the field circuit of the generator.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Balances with Sliding Weights.
Inventor: DARMSTAEDTER GEORG
Filed: 1912-01-06
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 533. Darmstõdter, G. Jan. 6. Sliding - weight apparatus. - Relates to a balance in which several sliding poises are automatically moved along a beam in the same direction, and the invention consists in providing the poises with separate but interdependent driving-means adapted to act one after the other and to be arrested by pivoted pawls actuated by the turning of the balance beam. The sliding poises c, d, Fig. 1, are driven by the fall of weighted racks f, g, which are connected by gearing with racks on the under sides of the poises. The racks are arrested by means of pawls i, k pivoted either on the beam or on the stationary frame. With the beam in the position I, both pawls are disengaged and the rack f descends, the second rack g being meanwhile supported by a hook m on the pawl i. When the beam occupies the position II, the pawl i engages and holds the rack f, thus stopping the sliding poise c. The engagement of the pawl i disengages the hook m, and the rack g descends until arrested at position III by the pawl k. The poises are returned by means of a hand crank or automatically by means of a counterweight freed on removal of the load from the balance. The poises may be moved by springs or vibrating power instead of by means of the racks described above.
