Abstract: 712. Beesley, F. Jan. 9. Breech actions, drop-down barrel.-Relates to the firing-locks of under-and-over guns of the kind in which one hammer is hung to swing under its pivot while the other swings, in the usual way, over its pivot, and consists in combining with both locks, (1) rebounding mainsprings, (2) pivoted cams for compressing the passive sides of the mainsprings, and (3) sears for controlling the cams. The cams are operated by thrust-rods when the gun is opened. Fig. 1 shows an underhung lock with the tumbler L cocked, but the mainspring not compressed by the thrust-rod I and pivoted cam N. Fig. 2 shows the position of the thrust-rod I and cam N when the gun is closed. The sear 0 limits the forward movement of the cam N and thrust - rod I, when the gun is opened without the trigger having been pulled, to prevent the nose of the thrust-rod from taking up a position in which it releases the ejector, which is described in Specification 22,513/13. Collars Q, Fig. 2, are provided around the holes for the pivots of the hammers and sears as distancepieces to keep these parts away from the lockplates. The cam may be mounted to turn about the same axis as the tumbler, as shown in Fig. 7. In order to bring the strikers into the central line of the gun, the tumbler axles L<2>, Fig. 12, may be extended through the bridlepieces R, separate hammers S being keyed on to these extensions. Specification 31/80 is referred to.

Abstract: 24,147. Piejus, A. H. Oct. 24. Multiple - indication apparatus. - Relates to apparatus for determining whether the evaporation of moisture during egg - incubation is proceeding at the normal rate or otherwise. Before incubation begins, the egg is placed upon a pan d<3>, and its weight is ascertained by means of a steelyard poise e sliding in proximity to a fixed scale h. The main divisions of the fixed scale are lettered A, B, ... H, and similar lettering is marked circumferentially on the end of a cylindrical scale i which may be slid and rotated upon the fixed scale. After an interval of incubation, for example ten days, the egg is again balanced by means of the poise, and the cylindrical scale i is slid as far as the graduation originally ascertained, for example within the division D, and is then rotated until the longitudinal graduations D on the cylindrical scale i come opposite the newly adjusted poise e. If the evaporation of moisture is quite normal, the poise will point to the figure " 10," which represents the number of days during which incubation has proceeded. Lower or higher readings indicate that the evaporation should be hastened or checked, as the case may be.
