Title: Improvements in and connected with the Fixing of Steam Turbine Blades.
Inventor: WILSON JAMES
Filed: 1906-02-17
Granted: 1906-12-06
Abstract: 4007. Wilson, J. Feb. 17. Elastic-fluid turbines.-Relates to devices for fixing turbine blades to the drum or casing. The blades e; Figs. 1 and 9, have L-shaped roots d, the limbs being wedge-shaped in cross-section and dovetailed so that one limb of each blade can be inserted in a ring-piece c, which is placed in a dovetailed groove b, Fig. 4, in the drum or casing. Filling- pieces f are then caulked into the spaces between the projecting limbs of the blade roots so that the blades are held both by axial and circumferential pressure. The ring-piece may project or be flush with the edge of the groove, and a shallow slot may be formed in the ring-piece and in one side of the groove into which the metal is forced by the caulking and which assists in securing the parts. The angle of the blades is varied by altering the angle of the slots in the ring-piece.

Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Apparatus for Indicating the Pressure between Railway or Tramway Trolley-poles or like Collectors and the Conductors with which they are in Contact.
Inventor: PRINGLE PERCIVAL JOHN
Filed: 1906-04-12
Granted: 1907-04-12
Abstract: 8909. Pringle, P. J. April 12. Electric railways and tramways on the overheadconductor system. Collectors; conduclors.-Relates to apparatus for determining whether the pressure between the collector of an electric railway or tramway vehicle such as a trolly pole and the electric conductor or wire does or does not attain to a certain specific adjustable magnitude, and of the type in which a casting is secured to the conductor and carries a vertically-movable element suitably controlled for contacting with the collecting-wheel. Castings a attached to the wire, which is not interrupted, carry a rigid bar c to which is hinged laterally a long plate e adapted to be pressed upwards by the wire and the trolly wheel, for one flange of which a guiding-groove is provided ; the rise of this plate as the wheel passes is resisted by a lever-and-weight arrangement i, l with a connecting-rod k. The weight can be adjusted according to a scale upon the lever and clamped in position, any suitable indicating, recording, or signalling means being employed to show whether or not the trolly wheel has been able to lift the weight. For the purpose of obtaining maximum and minimum measurements, a second weight o may be arranged to come into action after the lever has risen through a certain distance, and the total movement may be limited by a stop p ; the systems of contacts r, s may control the energization of coloured electric lamps to distinguish the limiting pressure. Mechanical equivalents for parts of the apparatus may be employed.

Title: An Improved Mathematical Instrument.
Inventor: HAUGHTON JAMES
Filed: 1906-07-03
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 15,110. Haughton, J. July 3. Protractors; squares; circles, centres of, determining.-Relates to a combination instrument to be used as a set-square, protractor, and scale, and also to determine the centre of a circle. Three members a, b, c, Figs. 1 and 7, are pivoted together at joints d at each end of the member a. Slots e,f, Fig. 1, run along the members b, c parallel to their edges. One of these members overlaps the other, the two being connected by a clamping- screw g which slides in both slot3. These arms are graduated so that any required angle between the arms is obtained when corresponding graduations on the arms register. If the instrument is made of transparent material, the graduations on the central lines h of the members are made to register, but if opaque material is used, one edge of either arm is made to register with the graduation on the other. To fold the instrument, the arm b is swung round the pivot d, the clamp g passing into a slot j in the arm a. For finding the centres of circles, an auxiliary arm i with a central slot i<1> is pivoted at one end to the clamp g and at the other to the centre of the arm a, preferably by a snap fastener. The arm i baing of half the length of the arm a, the angle between the arms b, c remains a rightangle. To find the centre of a circle, the arms are first clamped so that the arms b, c are inclined at 45 degrees to the arm a. The inner edges of the arms b, c are then made tangents to the circle, and a line is drawn in the slot i<1>. The operation is repeated in another position, the intersection of the two lines being the centre of the circle. Fig. 7 shows a modification in which the instrument can be used as a set-square of certain angles only, fixed snap fasteners k, l, &c. being provided instead of an adjustable clamp. A protractor index finger p and dial o may be provided at one angle, the arms being clamped by a screw q, when the instrument is being used as a protractor only.
