Patent GB-190904537-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Preparing Strips of Paper, and Applying Liquid thereto, for Making Spirally Wound Paper-Tubes.
Inventor: BIRKBECK HENRY
Filed: 1909-02-24
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 4537. Birkbeck, H., [Jenkins, C. F.]. Feb. 24. Coating webs.-Relates to apparatus for preparing, and applying waterproofing or other liquid to, strips of paper intended to be made into spirally-wound tubes. A sheet of paper C passes rotary shears A, A<1>, which divide it into strips C' and the usual waste marginal strips. Alternate strips then pass respectively under, guide-rollers D, D<1> in different planes, so that the sets of strips arrive at a coating- roller E with their edges out of register. Both sets then. pass under the roller G, and are collected on two sets of rollers H, H<1> in different planes so that adjacent strips do not interfere with one another in winding, the marginal strips C<2> being discarded. In a modification, the roller D is omitted. Both sets of strips pass under the roller D<1> and are thrown out of register, on passing the roller G, by the rollers H, H<1>.

Title: An Improved Method of Propelling and Steering Aerial and Marine Vessels.
Inventor: LOVE WILLIAM CECIL
IPC: B64C11/00
Filed: 1909-11-11
Granted: 1910-11-11
Abstract: 26,097. Love, W. C. Nov. 11. Propelling and steering by reciprocating plates &c. -Aerial and marine vessels are propelled by means of reciprocating surfaces which, on the forward thrust, offer diminished resistance to the air or water, either by closing down on the propeller shaft after the manner of an umbrella, or by the opening of valves in the surfaces. Propellers of the umbrella type may comprise canvas attached to steel ribs, Fig. 1 ; or blades hinged to a ring C and adapted in closing to overlap, as shown in Fig. 4. Or the propeller may be of the shape shown in Fig. 6. The ribs or blades are guided as in an umbrella, by rods connected to a runner D on the shaft A. To prevent such propellers from turning inside out, a second series of rods may be connected to a second runner in front of the runner D. A rod B may be employed to assist the air or water to open the propeller, or a stop may be provided on the shaft A to prevent the propeller from closing completely. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the surface comprises flaps to open inwards on the forward thrust. The direction of the shaft A may be varied for steering. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 1288/61, 400/62, 2397/67, 1708/75, 21,292/90, 21,902/94, 459/95, 18,935/97, [Class 4, Aeronautics], 20,269/98, 10,990/02, 5513/04, 15,438/07, [Class 4, Aeronautics], 26,280/07, and 27,221/07, 27,805/07, 9970/08, and 16,300/08, [all in Class 4, Aeronautics], 309/09, and 7998/09 and 18,982/09, [both in Class 4, Aeronautics].

Abstract: 4176. Macdonald, C. R. Feb. 19, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Fluid governors.-The end thrust of the propeller on the propeller shaft is partly counterbalanced by means tending to move the shaft axially; when the ship's stern rises and the propeller leaves the water, the consequent endlong movement of the shaft is used to govern the engine. The means for moving the shaft may comprise an electro-magnet F which attracts an armature K fast on or connected with the shaft; or fluid or spring pressure, or the end thrust of a turbine may be used. The end movement of the shaft may be transmitted through levers or an electric or fluid relay. The throttle or exhaust valve may be acted upon, or this governor may be used to influence a centrifugal or inertia governor.

Working-fluid supply. - In a gas-turbine in which the combustion chamber is water-cooled and the generated steam is superheated, the combustion chamber and superheater are coaxial with the turbine and in alinement, and are both within a cylinder cooled on the outside. The generated steam may be used to drive the turbine with the combustion products, or may be separately employed for any purpose. The fuel, for instance petroleum, is supplied through a pipe a, Fig. 1, and is mixed with air supplied through a pipe c, the mixture being exploded in a retort e by ignition plugs d, d<1>. The explosion chamber f is, together with a superheater h, surrounded by a cylinder g having ribs g<1> and water-cooled by water entering at a pipe j.
