In dispensing a pre-determined quantity of liquid the rate of flow is reduced when the quantity remaining to be dispensed reaches a certain value. The invention is concerned with bulk deliveries and the number of gallons to be dispensed is set up on selectors S1-S5 which are connected by uniselectors U1-U5 to a lamp projection device I which indicates the number of gallons still to be delivered. With switch S6 at "deliver" the liquid is dispensed, each gallon causing shaft W to produce an impulse via a switch, magnetic or inductive pick-up. Each impulse is applied to a grand totaliser T, to an individual totaliser G and operates the uniselector counter U1-U5 in reverse direction. When the,number of gallons left to be delivered reaches 25, solenoid V1 cuts off to reduce the flow. When the whole quantity has been delivered, V2 cuts off to stop delivery. S6 also advances a batch counter included in G electromechanically, the batch number, amount dispensed, and date being printed by P after each delivery and again before the next. An emergency switch S8 automatically prints number of gallons dispensed while switch K can reset the totaliser T.

Patent GB-382796-A (GB)
Title: Process of producing chromium alloys low in carbon
IPC: C21C7/00
Filed: 1931-12-11
Abstract: In a method of making low-carbon chromium alloys in an electric furnace, a charge of material containing chromium oxide and a carbonaceous reducing agent, which may be a ferro-chormium containing 6-10 per cent of carbon, is fed continuously or in successive small portions to the surface of a bath of chromiferous slag having a melting-point of over 1750 DEG  C.  The bath is heated by vertically adjustable electrodes having a cross section not less than 72 sq. dm., and the average load on the electrodes is 4-10 kw. per sq. dm. A substantial proportion of the electrode carbon may be consumed as reducing agent.  The slag bath consists mainly of oxides of chromium, aluminium, and magnesium, the proportion of chromium oxide being preferably 20-40 per cent or more, and the oxides of aluminium, chromium, and silicon exceeding three-quarters of the equivalent of the oxides of magnesium and calcium.  The proportion of chromium oxide in the slag may be higher during the first stages of the reduction, whereafter the proportion may be lowered by supplying excess of reducing agent. Part of the slag bath may then be tapped off, and the proportion of chromium in the remainder increased, and such enriched slag may be left in the furnace for use with further charges.  Refining of chromium alloys containing carbon may be carried out in combination with a reduction process effected by means of reducing carbon floating on top of the slag.  Part of the carbon monoxide present, particularly immediately before tapping the alloy, may be burned or drawn off, and absorption of nitrogen by the alloy may be prevented by supplying a gas such as steam or carbon dioxide. A slag-forming material such as chromium ore may be supplied during or before pouring in order to thicken or solidify the slag and so prevent it from following the metal.

Title: A communication system for the automatic transmission of information over an automatic telephone system
IPC: H04M19/04
Filed: 1958-11-03
Abstract: 905,411. Automatic exchange systems. KIENAST, A. Nov. 3, 1958, No. 35266/58. Class 40 (4). In a remote control system adapted to operate over a telephone exchange network, a control station connected to a subscriber's line, may dial a sub-station in the normal way and then send a voice-frequency signal which at the substation diverts the ringing current to equipment which puts an answering condition on the subscriber's line and sends back a coded message (e.g. relating to metering in formation) at voice frequency. The invention depends upon the provision at the exchange of the provision of a through voice-frequency path at least during the intervals between bursts of ringing current, which facility is assumed to be provided. Control station, Fig. 1.-The exchange line is first connected to the telephone set 1 (which may be replaced merely by an impulse sender) and the number of the sub-station dialled after which key 4 is thrown to connect up the voicefrequency send/receive equipment. This comprises a V.F. receiver 22 which in the first instance is responsive to the exchange ringing tone to operate contact 24, which is arranged to remain operated for a short period after the ringing tone ceases, to send an audio-frequency tone to line. When the sub-station responds to this tone and reverts the coded information the V.F. receiver 22 responds thereto and registers it. The time-sender 25 and receiver 22 are arranged in conjugate arms of a bridge so that the one cannot affect the other. Sub-station,. Fig. 2.-Ringing current incoming over the line 41, 42 operates tuned relay 55 which brings up relay 58 followed after a delay by 59. If the call is a normal one, relay 59 connects up the telephone sub-set 31 which receives succeeding bursts of ringing current. The answering subscriber operates switch 33 (which may be the cradle switch) to release 58, 59 and conversation proceeds. If, however, during the ringing interval voice-frequency tone is received from the control station, this operates tuned relay 48 which operates 45 which locks to the exchange battery. The latter disconnects relays 48, 58, 59 which release and connects up the voice frequency send/receive equipment in which the V.F. receiver 80 may receive a coded message and transmitter 82 may transmit a coded message. The latter opening the exchange loop at the end of the transmission at contact 79. The latter may comprise a transistor oscillator automatically switched on when the send/receive equipment is taken into use. Modification.-If the exchange ringing tone is of the same frequency as the ringing current, it may be received at the control station by a timed relay shunted across the line, Fig. 3 (not shown). Specification 738,800 is referred to.
