Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 18,580. Parnacott, A. E., and Morgan & Co. Aug. 18. Gas or explosivevapour engines, carburetting in. In a carburettor of the type described in Specification No. 14,397, A.D. 1905, the needle valves controlling the fuel and water supplies are closed by gravity and raised by a lever worked by the suction-operated sleeve which controls the air inlet ports. Fig. 3 is a vertical section showing the sleeve a‹ in the closed position, cutting off the admission of air through the slots d<1>, which are inclined as described in the Specification. Thesleeve supports one end of a lever a<2> which works a a rocking piece c<7>, Fig. 4, pivoted, as shown, and d carrying adjustable sliders c<6>. to which are pivoted pins c<4> the upper ends of which raise the needle valves. The separate valves are thus independently adjustable. The sleeve a<0> is carried upon a spring a<6> which yields in the event of a back-fire. The inner and outer vessels e, e<1> are also connected by a sinuous spring ring e<5>, the exhaust gases being admitted to the outer vessel through a valve f<3> controlled by a bell f acting as a float when liquid fuel collects in the bottom of the vessel e. Light oil may be used at starting, and when the apparatus is used on a motor road vehicle, the fuel tank is placed in front of the carburettor, so that the pressure of oil at the inlet is greater in ascending than in descending an incline. The mixture may be diluted with air, to the extent of admitting air alone to the cylinder, by operating a ring d<4> covering a ring of ports, as shown. A throttle valve is placed in the outlet pipe B. The needle valves are preferably constructed of nickel, and the seating is formed as shown to prevent the necessity of regrinding.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Wireless Electric Signaling Systems.
Inventor: CABOT SEWALL
Filed: 1907-02-19
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 4134. Cabot, S. March 10, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act 1901 Telegraphs. -Relates to the transmission of messages partly by a wireless system and partly over metallic lines, and to relay stations for the retransmission of wireless messages. Fig. 2 shows two terminal wireless stations X, Z, and an intermediate two-way wireless relay station Y associated with a wire telegraph receiving and transmitting system. The terminal wireless stations may be operated by a wireless telegraph operator by means of the key K, or by a wire telegraph operator at station x or z by means of a key K<1>. The stations x, z may be either distant from the wireless stations or in the same building with them. If the switch N be opened and the switch U be moved so as to put the telephone T in the circuit of the wave-detector P, the operator at X or Y can signal directly by means of the key K. When the key K is depressed, the circuit of the wave-detector is first opened at k<11>, the receiving-system L, C1<11>, I1<11> is then short-circuited by the earth at o, o<1>, and the power circuit is then closed at k<1> so that electric oscillations are produced in the antenna V. The waves received by the antenna V<1> at the relay station affect the wave-detector P<1> and cause the energization of the relays 20, 23 successively, and the despatch of waves of a different frequency from the transmitting- antenna. The signals may be received at a 'way' station associated with the relay station, by means of a sounder 29 under control of a relay 26. As shown in Fig. 2, this 'way' station is adapted to convert 'back stroke' Morse wireless signals into front-stroke' signals on the sounder, the back-stroke' signals being sent when the normally closed wire telegraph transmitting-key K<1> is used, instead of the key K at the wireless station. The wireless signals retransmitted by the antenna at the relay station set up oscillations in the antenna V1<1>, and are received by the wave-detector P and telephone T. If the signals are transmitted from the station X by means of the key K<1>, they reach the station Z as 'back- ' stroke' wireless signals. As long as the electromagnetic waves are being received, the relay 5 is energized, and the resistance R' is thrown into the line I so that the relay 11 is de-energized, but every break in the train of waves, due to a signal, produces an increased current in the line I and energizes the relay 11 and sounder 14. The relay and sounder are only indicated diagrammatically by the circle 11 at station z ; their arrangement is identical with that shown at station x. At either terminal station, the operator can 'break' by depressing his key K, and the 'way' station can also ' break' by switching in his key 30 and sending a continuous train of waves from the antenna V<1>. Specifications No. 28,550, A.D. 1902, and No. 22,107, A.D. 1906, are referred to.
