Title: Improvements in Calculating Scales.
Inventor: SMITH RUDOLPH CHARLES
IPC: G06G1/12
Filed: 1909-03-31
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 7731. Smith, R. C. March 31. Slide-rules. - A logarithmic r u l e, of the type described in Specifications 7579/00 and 17,499/04, is provided with an auxiliary slide-rule to be used in conjunction with directive lines on the slide and stock, for mechanically determining the order of tens in the result of a calculation. The slide 1 and stock 4 are provided with the necessary scales, and have directive lines 15, 16 and 13, 14 respectively for indicating at which opening in the cursor 5 the proper number of ciphers will appear. The cursor 5 is arranged transversely on the main slide-rule, and comprises a stock 7 and a slide 8 of non-transparent material, and a cover 80 of celluloid. The upper portion of the cover 80 is provided with three index openings 17, 19, 20 coinciding with the equal spacing of the ciphers on the slide 8, and has two other index openings 21, 22 in line with the figures on the main scale the ciphers of which are to be indicated. The stock 7 and slide 8 have three rows of figures for the ciphers of the figures set on the corresponding scales on the rule. This arrangement gives the number of ciphers mechanically, by the following rule of operation : Repeat every move of the cursor 5 and slide 1 with that of the cursor and slide 8, using the numbers on the main scale and the ciphers of their first figures on the auxiliary scale. Read all decimals in line with the middle index of the cursor 5 except for figures that have the two lines 15, 16 or 13, 14 pointing to the upper or lower openings, the ciphers being read in these openings respectively.

Abstract: 28,212. Glover, J. P. Dec. 5. Aerial machines without aerostats; propelling and steering.-In a machine which is supported by a pair of rotary propellers mounted on parallel longitudinal shafts and the propeller blades of which have a feathering rotation upon their axes at a uniform rate, the blades are arranged to move close together in their inoperative phase near the longitudinal centre-line of the machine so as to minimize loss of compression of the air beneath the propellers. The blades c are fixed to spindles f adapted to rotate in bearings at the ends of radial arms d carried by each propeller shaft a, and are maintained in their relative angular positions by rods h connecting cams g on the spindles f. For feathering the blades at the required uniform rate, a toothed wheel k on the shaft a is arranged to drive a wheel l on one of the spindles f, the wheel l having twice the number of teeth of the wheel k. To obtain forward propulsion, two rows of planes n arranged beneath the propellers are adapted to be inclined simultaneously about horizontal transverse axes from their normally vertical position. The machine may be turned in an horizontal plane by inclining the two rows of planes n in opposite directions. To keep the machine horizontal when the planes n are inclined, additional feathering propellers at the front and rear may be brought into action. Parachutes.-Each shaft a is fitted with a ratchet attachment, so that, in the event of the motor stopping, the blades c have a parachute action.
