Abstract: 24,579. Toussaint, H., and Doettloff, E. Nov. 4. Fire-tubes, arrangements of superheating- tubes in; dampers and the like for controlling superheaters.-To regulate the passage of furnace gases over superheating - elements arranged in boiler firetubes, the smoke-box ends of the fire-tubes are enclosed by a chamber provided with a restricted outlet of invariable area. The area of outlet best for a particular condition of working of the boiler is determined by trial. The ends of the firetubes b, containing superheating - tubes f, are enclosed by a chamber formed by top and bottom plates i, h, and a front plate g, which extends only over the lower part of the chamber so as to form a restricted outlet for the furnace gases. In a modification, the outlet is arranged at the bottom of the front plate. The front plate may be continued downwards, as shown, to restrict the passage of the furnace gases from the ordinary fire-tubes.

Title: Improvements in Gear for Electrically Operating Machine Tools and the like.
Inventor: HALL JOSEPH PLATT
IPC: G05B19/06
Filed: 1913-01-01
Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 19. Hall, J. P. Jan. 1. Planing.-Electrically-driven planing-machines are controlled through a controller which is intermittently driven in one direction only by an auxiliary motor through a coupling which slips when the controller is stopped in its various positions by a selecting-gear controlled from the machine operated by the main motor. The controller A, interlocked with the main switch and mounted in the casing a, is operated by the auxiliary motor through reduction gearing and the slipping coupling C. The controller shaft carries the drum V provided with stops W<1>, W<2>, &c., which may be engaged by a stop U on a bar T connected to a rocking member R operated by tappets on the table N of the planing-machine. The rocking member R is provided with rollers O<1>, P<1>, Q<1>, which are engaged by the tappets 0, P, Q, and with a handle R<1>, for initially setting it in position, and for stopping the machine. During the cutting- stroke, the table moves in the direction shown by the arrow in Fig. 9, and the index y of the rocking member R is in position 4 as shown in Fig. 11. The stop U on the bar T engages a stop on the drum V, and the controller is therefore held while the coupling C slips. At the end of the cutting- stroke, the tappet 0 engages the roller O<1> and moves the rocking member R into position 1. The stop U on the member T is moved into a position to engage another stop on the drum V, which is rotated by the auxiliary motor D until the stops engage, after which, the coupling C slips again. The drive is then reversed. During the reverse movement of the table, the tappet P engages the roller P<1>, and moves the rocking member to position 2 and the stop U into the path of the next stop ; the speed of the motor M is then reduced. During the further reverse movement of the table, the tappet Q engages the roller Q<1> and moves the rocking member into position 3 as shown in Fig. 9, and the stop U into the path of the first stop. The controller then stops in the cutting position, and the cycle of operations is repeated. During the whole of these operations, the auxiliary motor D, which is preferably an electric motor, is constantly rotating, and the coupling C slips whenever the controller is held in an operative position. The controller can be moved to one of its braking positions after a cutting or return stroke respectively only by hand operation of the rocking member R. Specification 10,599/12, [Class 38 (v), Electric switches &c.], is referred to.

Abstract: 8956. Just, A. April 18, 1912, [Convention date]. Annealing, tempering, and modifying physical characters of metals.-In making a microcrystalline solid solution in tungsten of vanadium, chromium, molybdenum, thorium, titanium, manganese, bismuth, uranium, or zirconium, singly or mixed, by first strongly heating and then chilling and tempering, the chilling of the metal regulus, rods, ingots, or the like takes place in water, oil, or less preferably in salt solutions, molten metal, or other agents, a rod or the like being quickly removed from the furnace, or the whole apparatus being immersed. Tempering may be done by heating the chilled pieces for two to three hours in an electric furnace at 1200‹ C. in a current of pure hydrogen or nitrogen, and cooling slowly. A microscopic examination is thereafter made to determine whether the process needs to be repeated. The material if found to be homogeneous can be rolled or hammered cold or hot preparatory to wire-drawing, which is easier than with pure tungsten. The wire produced remains flexible and ductile after prolonged heating. Specifications 3213/06 and 207/08, [both in Class 39, Electric lamps &c.], are referred to.
