Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 6901. McKeen, W. R. March 22. Bodies ; underframing of bodies.- A rigid, trussed framework for cars, .of the type described in Specification No. 26,992, A.D. 1905, is adapted to preserve its original shape and to reduce the atmospheric resistance to the movement of the car. It comprises a heavy channel-iron belt sill 1, which extends all round the car and is bent to an edge 2 in front and curved about the rear of the car at 3, and a similarly-shaped channel - iron upper member 35, which is connected to the belt sill by arched transverse members 36, the upper curved portions of which are connected by a plate 37. The front of the underframe is strengthened by cross-members 5, 6, 11, a brace 7, and gussets as shown. A central, longitudinal sill 16 is connected to a bolster 17, rests upon depressed cross-braces 25, 24 and needle beams 30, passes through a bolster 18, and over depressed cross-braces 15, 14, Fig. 7, and terminates within the curved portion 3 of the belt sill. Longitudinal sills 19 extend between the bolster 18 and the curved end of the belt sill 1, and gusset plates 20, 21 extend between the sides of the belt sill. Cross-members 27 and diagonal braces 29 are connected to the belt and centre sills by gusset plates. A truss rod 33 is stretched beneath each side of the belt sill. The ends of the sills and cross-members are preferably secured within the inturned edges of the belt sill. Within a depressed portion 13 of the belt sill at each side of the car is fitted a frame 47, and a heavy plate 48 is secured to this frame, to the belt sill 1, and to the upper member 35 ; frames 42 and plates 43 are also fitted at the front end of the car. These frames serve as door frames, but they also act as struts to the truss frame, while inclined braces 52 tie the upper and lower chords of the truss frame together. A side member 49 extends around the car, being interrupted at the door frames, and is connected to the belt sill 1 by braces 50. Longitudinal ribs 38, 39 extend from the respective ends of the top plate 37 and over the upper member 35 to the belt sill 1, additional ribs 40, 41, 51, 46 being also provided. The outer surface of the car is thus formed so as not only to give no purchase whereby wind pressure might tend to lift the car, but also to utilize the wind pressure to press the car on to the track.

Title: Process for Producing Multi-colour Photographs by Means of One Negative.
Inventor: BRASSEUR CHARLES LOUIS ADRIEN
Filed: 1907-01-10
Granted: 1907-08-08
Abstract: 716. Brasseur, C. L. A. Jan. 10; 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Colour photography.-Relates to the Sampolo- Brasseur process, as described in Specifications No. 8390, A.D. 1896, and No. 15,185, A.D. 1905. The negative produced under the three-colour ruled screen is combined with the black and white screen, the black parts of which are double the width of the transparent parts, so as to leave uncovered only one of the three partial images; and while printing under strong light, the frame is partly rotated about an axis parallel to the rulings, so that those parts of the plate covered by the black lines of the screen are also exposed, owing to the angular incidence of the light, thereby "closing up" the elements of the partial image. All three partial images are printed in a similar manner. Three plates are thus obtained and are copied in the corresponding colours in order to produce the three monochromes, by the superposition of which the final coloured image is obtained. By this process, in the final image, the colours do not contrast with each other as lines.
