Abstract: 19,183. Rankin, H. Sept. 23. Drawing. - A machine for drawing wire through a number of dies has a trough, the bottom of which slopes downwards from the front, so that guide-rolls at the rear, and dies in the middle, are immersed in liquid, while the drawing-rolls h in front are clear. The rolls are mounted on spindles i, i<1>, the spindle i<1> being driven from fast and loose pulleys p on the shaft o. The spindles i are driven from the spindle i<1> by toothed gearing at successively increasing speeds, reckoning from right to left. The drum t is driven by change gearing from the shaft o, the intermediate wheel t<9> being mounted on a quadrant lever so that the speed of the drum mav be varied to suit its size, which is determined by the size of coils required. The belt - shifting fork (not shown) is operated by a treadle H which may be held in the position shown by a hinged rod H<8> while the machine is running, The front edge of the trough has a groove in which is an endless chain (not shown) mounted on sprocket-wheels and driven by worm gearing D<3> from fast and loose pulleys D<6>, the belt of which is controlled by a rod D<8> with a handle D<9>. A draw-carriage F, Figs. 4 and 6, slides along the groove and has a hook F<8> which can be engaged with a link of the chain by a handle. The rear end of the carriage has a pair of taper gripping-jaws F' which can be operated by a handle F<7>. The wire is pointed to pass through a die, and is then gripped by the jaws while the die is placed against a slotted stop G<1> on a fixed plate. which also has a guide-roller G<2>. The carriage is then started to thread this die on the wire, and is stopped when the hook is disengaged bv coming in contact with one of the teeth of the left-hand sprocket-wheel. The drawn wire is then placed round one guide-roll and one drawing-roll, and the operation repeated. The drawing-rolls each consist of two discs, Fig. 10, secured by a nut on the spindle i, the lower disc having a hardened and recessed ring h<5> shrunk on to receive the wire. A guide-roller is placed on the arm x, and the wire passes to the drum t through a pivoted sheave to allow for variation in the sizes of the coils.

Sewage, treating ; bacteriological p r o c e s s e s ; filtering ; aÙrating.-Relates to the distribution of liquids in the bacterial purification of sewage, and the like. In the distribution of sewage on filter beds, so that it comes in contact with a i r therein, a reciprocating travelling distributer is employed, which discharges the liquid only during its motion in one direction in order that each unit of area may receive the same quantity of liquid and may have the same period of rest. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a sewage-supply trough a extends across the middle of the filter bed b, and on each side of it is a distributer c, mounted on wheels h at one end and connected at the other end to a siphon d, which is mounted on a carriage or bogie & adapted to run on rails l, and is provided with a limb m depending into the liquid in the trough a. The distributers and carriage k are caused to travel by a shaft o continuously driven by a suitable motor and put into gear by bevel gearing q<1>, q<2> and a clutch p with a shaft carrying a pulley r<1>. A rope passing round the pulley r' and round another pulley on the opposite side of the filter bed, is connected at both ends to the carriage k. The motion is automatically reversed by stops t<1>, t<2> on the rope engaging levers w<1>, w<2>, which operate a weighted lever w and the clutch p. The supply of liquid to the distributers c is automatically effected and out off by stops on the trough d which engage levers 1 pivoted at 2 and furnished at 3 with toothed segments gearing with pinions 4 on the spindles of valves v<1>, v<2>. These valves may be operated in the same or opposite senses at the same time so as to cause a supply of liquid cnly during the forward motion of one distributer and during the return motion of the other distributer, or during the forward motion only of both distributers. The distributers c are connected beneath with smaller sprinkling-pipes e, which are fitted in their upper side with short vertical nozzles. These nozzles act as traps for preventing access of air to the siphon d when the apparatus is not at work. The Provisional Specification refers to a modification in which a single distributing-arm is used, which is swung round to the other side of the filter bed on the return journey.
