Title: Improvements in Methods of Developing and Finishing Kinematographic Color Films, and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: THORNTON JOHN EDWARD
IPC: G03D5/06
Filed: 1912-05-23
Granted: 1913-05-23
Abstract: 12,231. Thornton, J. E. May 23. Coating webs. - Methods and apparatus are described for the application of various liquids to cinematographic film bands, including the application of different developing dyes in different sections of a wide film, for the production of colour picture films. The films are passed in a long helical path over spaced rollers A, B, which have flanges b to separate the edges of the successive laps and may be slightly coned between the sections as shown in Fig. 4. The various liquids are applied by means of rollers e, which rotate in contact with other rotating rollers partly immersed in the liquid trough E. For first washing the film the rollers extend across the whole width of the film. For applying dye solutions to the sections of the film, rollers are used which only extend over the width of film to which the dye is applied, and the different dyes are applied to successive laps of the film, as shown in Fig. 2. Several series of such rollers are used as required, and in order to control the application of the liquids the rollers are mounted so that one or more can be thrown out of operation. To inspect the progress in the colouring of the film, a plate or table F is fitted with an illuminated glass panel f, and with coloured strips H for coinparison. For the application of mordanting and fixing solutions, two troughs E, with the respective solutions, are mounted on a slotted arm e<2>, so that on rocking the arm, either solution may be applied. The film is washed by similar rollers or by running the film through water-troughs and between squeezing- rollers. The various solutions may alternatively be applied in a fine stream or spray, or by a wiping-device.

Title: Improvements in Signalling on Railways.
Inventor: BLACKALL ALFRED THOMAS
IPC: B61L3/10
Filed: 1912-07-22
Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 17,035. Blackall, A. T., and Jacobs, C. M. July 22. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains comprises two insulated ramps A, B connected to a battery C through switches c1 ... Cs manually operated by a signalman, there being an earth return through the ordinary track rails X. The engine 'is provided with insulated contact shoes A1, B1 and an earth return through the engine frame and wheels and the track rails. Two polarized relays P1, P2 and two non-polarized relays R1, R2 on the engine control the circuit of six indicators k<1> ... k<6>, which may consist of electric lamps, each behind an opalescent screen, which show, when the lamps are illuminated, such indications as 'ahead,' 'steady,' 'stop,' 'ease up,' 'back,' and right away.' The contact shoes B1 are duplicated and connected to allow for tenderforemost running. When the switch c1 is operated a circuit is closed from the positive pole of the track battery C through a wire a, ramp A, shoe A1, relays R1, P1, R2 and the engine wheels to earth and the negative pole of the battery C. This causes the closure of the contact e of the relays P1 and the contact z of the relay R2, and thereby closes the circuit of the local battery M through the indicator k<1>. When the switch c2 is closed, a reverse current flows through the same engine circuit and the relay P1 closes the contact f, and a local circuit through the indicator k<2> is closed. When the switch c3 is operated the engine relays P2, R2 are energized by current flowing tbrough the shoe B1 and return through the engine wheels. The relay P2 closes its contact f, and the relay R2 its contact y, thereby closing the local. circuit through the indicator k<3>. When the switch c4 is operated, a reverse current flows through the same engine circuit, and the relay Pa closes its contact e, thereby closing the local circuit through the indicator k<4>. When the switch c5 is closed the relays R1, P1 and P2 are energized by current flowing from the track battery C through the shoes A1, B1, and a local circuit through the indicator k<5> is closed through the contact g of the relay R1 and the contact e of the relay P2. When the switch c6 is closed a reverse current flows through the same engine circuit closing the contact f of the relay P2, and thereby closing a local circuit through the indicator k<6>. Other combinations. of relays may be also similarly employed for operating additional indicators.

Abstract: 22,658. Bolton, C. J. Oct. 4. Pottery, turning.-A conical form or chuck 1, for supporting a cup, bowl, or the like 13 while it is being turned, is screwed on a spindle 2 which passes through a table 5 mounted on ball bearings 6. The edge of the cup is shaped, while the cup is raised above the table, by a profile tool carried eccentrically by an horizontal lever spindle 16 supported by a vertical spindle 18. A spring 21 pulls the lever out of action, and stops limit the motion of both spindles. The table is provided with a rubber or leather facing 14 to prevent damage to the edges of the cup when the chuck 1 is lowered and disengaged from the cup. Flanges 11, 12 of the table and bed plate prevent the entrance of grit into the bearings.

Title: Apparatus for Figuring and Rolling Leather.
Inventor: VOSS CHRISTIAN CARL JOHANNES
IPC: C14B1/56
Filed: 1913-01-03
Granted: 1913-06-05
Abstract: 206. Voss, C. C. J. Jan. 3. Rolling.-In leather-rolling or figuring machines in which a yielding work-supporting band is pressed by a reciprocating roll against a plane abutment, the ends of the band are independent of the work table and are moved transversely to the length of the band. The band g, Fig. 1, which is raised by the traversing-roll d into contact with the abutment h, is attached at each end to a pivoted arm l, which is pushed upwards by the pressure of the roll d on rollers r. To allow the band to extend as the arms describe a circular path, its ends are secured to rollers m, as shown in Fig. 3, so that it may unwind slightly as the arms move upwards. The rollers m carry ratchet-wheels o and have squared extensions for tightening the band. Alternatively, the belt ends may be carried by sliders t, Fig. 4, which move in vertical guides s and are restored by weighted levers u. When the platen h is placed below the roller, the arms l may have downward extensions carrying restoring-springs, the other ends of which are attached to the table members a. Instead of being operated by the roll d, the arms may be moved by cam surfaces formed on the carriage. In the form shown in Fig. 7. the arms l are coupled by a linkage z<1>, z<2>, z<3> weighted at a<1>. The removal of the band g from the platen is effected by the abutment of projections c<1>, c<2> on the carriage against levers b<1> carried by the arms. The band is thereby rendered tight when raised and slack when lowered. In the form shown in Fig. 8, the band is carried by guided rods t and weighted rods f<1>, which are rocked by rollers h<1> through pivoted levers i<1>. The rollers h<1> are alternately turned by the wheels q of the carriage, which are formed as cylinders running on the bed a. Axial motion of the press-roll is limited by extensions k<1> of the carriage, and it is supported by bearing-rolls d<2>, d<3>.

Abstract: 24,458. Lee, J. W., and Hogan, J. L. Nov. 16, 1912, [Convention date]. Wireless telegraphy. - A receiving-circuit is excited by the received wave energy and also by an auxiliary alternating current of a frequency so related to the frequency of the received energy as to produce beats therewith, and the resulting composite current is used to operate a detector and indicator. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the aerial is coupled to an ordinary receiving-circuit D R S and to a local source of oscillations produced by an arc J. The local source of oscillations may be connected to an intermediate circuit between the aerial and detector circuits. Fig. 3 shows the application of the invention to a known interference preventer, in which the antenna has two branches CI Z C<II>, C<III> Z<I> C<IV>, tuned to different frequencies, one of which is the frequency of the waves to be received, so that undesired waves equally and oppositely affect the secondaries D<II>,D<III> of the detector circuit.
