Patent GB-190626170-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Speed and Frequency Indicators.
Filed: 1906-11-19
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 26,170. Hartmann & Braun Akt.-Ges. Nov. 20, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Testing.-Frequency meters or other instruments, of the type in which one of a series of spring tongues is set in resonant vibration by impulses of the frequency which is to be measured, are provided with two or more sets of tongues, operated by a common impulse mechanism, to enable the instrument to be read from different directions. The various scales may give indications of different kinds. The impulses may be communicated directly to the tongues by an electro-magnet, or they may be communicated by any of the means described in Specification No. 13,888, A.D. 1901, [Abridgment Class Registering &c.], to a piece carried by the foot-plate of the tongues, or to the whole instrument. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement of four sets of tongues on a common foot-plate f, which is clamped at k to a torsion wire p, and carries a connecting-piece h. Four sets of tongues arranged as shown in Fig. 4 may be vibrated by an electro-magnet placed between two sets, the corresponding tongues of the other sets vibrating in unison ; the magnet may act on arms carried by the tongues. To economize space, two sets of tongues, facing in opposite directions, may be arranged with their foot-plates diagonally opposite, as shown in Fig. 8, scales being fixed at s. Starshaped tongues b, Fig. 10, mounted on springs z, may be used to indicate in different directions, and may be vibrated by a permanent magnet which is alternately strengthened and weakened by a periodic current. Figs. 11<a> and 11<b> show two sets of tongues supported alternately on foot-plates f<1>, f<2>, which are notched to give room for the vibrations.

Title: Reflecting Intruments Annulling the Perception of Depth in Binocular Vision.
Inventor: ROHR MORITZ VON
Filed: 1907-01-14
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 916. Rohr, M. von. Jan. 14. Reflectors; telescopes; microscopes; reading- glasses; optical instruments.-By means of a series of reflectors, binocular vision is rendered virtually monocular. In the simplest arrangement, the right eye r, Fig. 1, views the object directly through a partly transparent reflector a, and the left eye l receives the rays from the object after two reflections in mirrors a, b. The virtual position of the left eye is at l<1>. Modifications are described in which by the use of four reflecting surfaces a, g, h, i, Figs. 4 and 6, the virtual positions of the two eyes coincide. The mirror p, Fig. 6, is rotated to adjust the instrument for various interpupillary distances; the mirror b, Fig. 1, need only be shifted laterally for the same purpose. Fig. 7 illustrates another modification in which the reflecting surfaces a<o>, h<o> forming the two intermediate mirrors are separated but arranged so as to produce collinear surfaces. By suitable arrangements, the device can be fitted in telescopes and microscopes.
Patent GB-190702256-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Warp Stop Motions for Looms.
Inventor: FIRTH WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-01-29
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 2256. Lake, H. H., [Firth, W.]. Jan. 29. Loom stop - mo - tions ; warp, detecting faults in. -In an electro-magnetic warp stop-motion, sheet-metal d r o p detectors 17, of the form shown, are suspended in one or two banks on the warps w between the lease-rods l, and are guided by crossrods 12, 13, which are supported by suitable brackets. A removable crossrod 16 is also supported by the brackets, and the rods 12, 16 are insulated from the brackets and from the terminals of an electric circuit including an electro-magnet. When a warp breaks or becomes unduly slack, its detector falls until the rod 12 enters the curved part 19 of the slot 18, whereupon the detector overbalances and moves into the position shown in dotted lines, so that it closes the circuit between the rods 12, 16. The electro-magnet is energized, and the loom is stopped. Instead of causing the loom to stop, a displaced detector may merely indicate the breakage of a warp.
