Title: Improvements in Linotype Matrices and in Apparatus for Making them.
Inventor: LOCK WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1899-09-21
Granted: 1900-09-21
Abstract: 18,991. Lock, W. H., Barr, M., Lewis, W. J., and Hughes, G. W. Sept. 21. Linotype machines.-Relates to matrices of the kind described in Specifications No. 9732, A.D. 1895, No. 3085, A.D. 1898, and No. 9951, A.D. 1899, and to apparatus for making them. The thin steel plates 3 on the sides of the matrix y<31> are placed in grooves and have inwardly-turned ends 4, Figs. 2, 3, 7, and 8, which project into holes 1, 2 in the matrix body. The holes 1, 2 are filled with a fusible metal or cement to fix the plates 3 in place. The ends 4 may have lateral projections 5. An apparatus for inserting and fixing the plates is shown in sectional elevation in Fig. 4. The matrix bodies y<31> are placed in an inclined hopper from the bottom of which they are fed successively along a guidechannel 8 by a pusher 12 reciprocated by a lever 17 and rod 21 connected to a pivoted disc 14 operated by a hand-lever. The steel plates 3 are placed on a pair of sliding plungers or clamps, one on each side of the channel 8, by which they are placed in position and clamped on the matrix. The plungers are actuated by connections from the disc 14. The fusible metal or solder is contained in a melting-pot 37 in which is the cylinder 38 of a pump by which the metal is ejected through suitable ports into the holes 1, 2, of the matrix. The piston 39 of the pump is operated by a hand lever drawn downwardly by a spring to make the injecting stroke. The metal passes along a port 66 having a nozzle which seats itself in the end of a port in one of the side plungers or clamps when that clamp moves inwardly to insert the plate 3 on that side of the matrix. The port in the clamp leads to the holes 1, 2. Gas burners 49, 50, &c. keep the metal molten in the pot 37 and ports 66 &c. After the filling of the holes 1, 2 the matrix is pushed on past a trimming-knife and falls into a delivery chute.

Title: Improvements relating to Mechanical Games.
Inventor: HARTLEY HENRY
Filed: 1901-04-19
Granted: 1902-03-13
Abstract: 8114. Hartley, H. April 19. Games played with coins, discs, or projectiles and projectors.-Relates to mechanical games in which an object, such as a coin, is propelled by the player towards a goal. The glass-enclosed front or playing surface of the apparatus is arranged to represent a portion of the sky, having projections A, D to represent the moon and stars respectively, the moon projection A serving as the goal, towards which the player shoots or propels a penny or other article inserted through the slot B. When the coin is inserted, it falls into a channel E, below which is arranged a shooting or propelling device consisting preferably of a pair of levers F, F<1>, Fig. 3, one of which is provided with a fingerpiece. By a sharp depression of the lever F, the coin G is propelled towards the goal. If the coin passes through the goal, it falls down a conduit into such a position that it forms the connection between two parts of the mechanism for releasing a check or token J, Fig. 4, preferably in the form of a ball. The releasing-mechanism consists of a sliding bar K, having a recess K<1> for receiving one ball, and of a pair of levers L, L' mounted on a pivot pin l and connected with a pivoted drawer M. When the coin is lodged between the two parts K, L, the opening of the drawer M causes the slide K to discharge one of the balls through a shoot N into the drawer. Should the coin miss the moon, it may return to the shooting alley E for a second shot ; or, by falling among the stars, it may either be returned to the player through an aperture P, or drop into the interior of the casing, in which event a fresh coin must be inserted for the continuance of the game.

Abstract: 21,882. Moncrieff, W. D. Scott-. Oct. 30. Sewage and foul waters, treating ; bacteriological processes; filtering. - Relates to apparatus for distributing liquids o v e r large areas, such as the surfaces of bacterial filter beds, and comprises improvements on the apparatus described in Specification No. 1070, A.D. 1901. In order to avoid loss of head of liquid, the distributing-trough b, Fig. 1, is arranged alongside the feeding-channel a, and is connected with it by openings c, which are arranged below the level of the liquid and are provided with regulating-valves consisting of sliding plates d secured by studs f. The distributer may be in one length, or in sections 1, 2, 3, Fig. 4, and the troughs may be divided into sections 1<b>, 2<b>, ... 6<b>, each provided with an opening 1<c>, 2<c>, &c. fitted with a valve d. A modification is described in which each distributing-section 1<b>, 2<b>, &c. is provided with a separate feeding- channel. For circular filter beds, the distributor is pivoted at one end h and supported at the other by a truck running on rails i. The discharge from the various sections of the trough is rendered proportional to the area of the filter covered thereby by adjusting the valves d. The same object is attained by varying the lengths of the discharging- edges of the trough sections, as by making the sections project horizontally in triangular or other forms ; or by making the edges of separate plates or weirs vertically adjustable ; by using one such adjustable plate or weir m, Fig. 9, and disposing it with one end higher than the other, so that the discharge will increase from the inner end y to the outer end x.

Title: Improvements in Indigo Vat Dyeing.
Inventor: PLAYNE ALEXANDER WHATELY
Filed: 1902-01-13
Granted: 1903-01-01
Abstract: 922. Playne, A. W., and Macdonald, L. W. Jan. 13. Dyeing.-Indigo vats are prepared for dyeing either woollen or cotton piece goods, yarns, slivers, &c., the main object being to proportion the constituents of the vat so that the liquor may, after the dyeing operation, be run away without serious loss. The invention is described as applied to the dyeing of Admiralty shade on white navy serge. A suitable plant consists of a series of dye-vats A and a raised mixing-vat B, provided with a drawoff cock D and hose E, the mixing-vat and dye vats being fitted, respectively, with steam-heating coils C and G. In about 250 gallons of water contained in the mixing-vat B are dissolved from 6 to 24 pounds of potassium carbonate, the preferred proportion being about 14 to 16 pounds of potassium carbonate for every 8 to 10 pounds of indigo to be subsequently added. About 30 pounds of fine zinc dust or its equivalent are then stirred into a solution containing 180 pounds of sodium bisulphite, the mixture is added to the nearlyboiling liquor contained in the mixing-vat, and the whole is raised to boiling. The clear liquor is then run into one of the indigo vats, through the hose E, below the surface of boiling-water. Next, from 40 to 50 pounds of indigo paste, preferably prepared as described in Specification No. 19,312, A.D. 1901, and containing from 8 to 10 pounds of indigo, are stirred into a portion of the liquor taken from the dye vat and run back into the vat through a fine sieve. The vat is then brought to the boil, and afterwards filled up to about 1,400 gallons with cold water. A table is given in the Specification showing suitable proportions for obtaining a number of different shades.
