Abstract: 22,923. Alexander, A. E., [Wharton, J. S. L., Hallowell, W. S., and Jones, J. C.]. Oct. 4. Mixing fluids in flow.-Relates to improvements in combined apparatus for heating, filtering, and adding purifying reagents to water. Raw water is supplied under a constant head from the tank 2<1> through a valve 8. Chemical is drawn from a tank 29 and forced through a pipe 34 and the valve 8 by a pump 31 connected to operate simultaneously with the boiler supply pump 30. In order that the supply of raw water and chemical may be varied inversely to the amount of pure water returned by the pipe 3<1>, the valve 8 is controlled by a float 7 on the outlet side of the filter. Excess chemical supplied by the pump 31 when the valve 8 is closed, is returned through a back-pressure valve 38 to the tank 29.

Abstract: 27,482. Dupuis, E., and Dupuis, C. Dec. 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Kinematograph films, both transparent and opaque, are formed of intaglio surfaces, the hollows, which are proportional to the variation in light, being filled up with semi-transparent ink. A celluloid film is obtained by moulding or pouring celluloid on to a relief, of which the thickness of the guide edges forms the level to which gelatine colour may be filled in, any excess being removed by scraping. Opaque films are formed by electrodepositing a layer of metal such as silver on to a relief and transferring it to its paper support as described in Specification 23,688/10, or it may be secured to the paper by gelatine. The metal film has matted low lights and burnished high lights, the recesses being filled in with coloured gelatine, celluloid, or collodion.

Title: Improved Method of and Means for Recording Sound.
Inventor: PUDUMJEE FURDOONJEE DORABJEE
Filed: 1911-01-20
Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 1532. Pudumjee, F. D. Jan. 20. Recording sounds photographically. - Sounds are recorded photographically on a sensitized record disk, from which a matrix can be made by electrotyping a photo-gelatine relief by any well-known process. The sounds enter by a horn V into a telescopic tube W, P carrying at its right-hand end a sound-box with a diaphragm having a mirror attached to it at an angle of 45 degrees. A beam of light enters through a lens 1 and aperture 2 into a telescopic tube T, and is focused by lenses N upon the mirror, which deflects the beam or spot of light downwards upon the sensitized plate C. The relative distance of the lenses N from the mirror is adjusted by a rack L and pinion K, and during the recording this distance is maintained constant, as the curved member G carrying the sound-box and mirror also carries a sleeve which supports the lenses N. The turntable is rotated frictionally by the wheel B from the powerdriven pulley A, and the shaft carrying both wheels is screw-threaded to engage a half-nut on the curved member and traverse the sound-box and mirror radially across the sensitized plate C. The lenses N are adjustable vertically in the support M, and the sound-box and mirror are adjustable horizontally in the curved frame G. Thus longer or shorter undulations or vibrations can be recorded, and by varying the. position of the friction wheel B the pitch of the spiral record can be varied. The whole apparatus is enclosed in a light-tight box S, and a screen may be placed upon the ledges X, X, Y.

The vane-wheel a and the percussion device k, s are released, and the setting- ring r is locked, at the moment when the projectile is discharged, by the setting-back of a bolt e of oval cross-section, a lead block v, and a number of bolts x, respectively. The time setting of the fuse may also be adjusted by altering the inclination of the vanes on the wheel or of the inlet ducts, which may be provided with swivelling nozzles for the purpose.

Abstract: 8798. Br³ll, K. Oct. 10, 1910, [Convention date]. Apparatus with jointly controllable drums; regulating and control-transmitting gear. - Comprises a grab hoisting - gear characterized by an electric switch device capable of adjustment over three sets of contacts for the purpose of controlling a main hoisting-motor and an auxiliary brake and clutch operating motor, and thus controlling all the movements of the grab. The hoisting - motor q drives through gearing a b, c d, the hoisting or closing drum f keyed to the shaft e. The opening drum g is mounted loosely on the same shaft and may be clutched thereto at h. A brake drum k is fixed to the drum g. The pinion c is in one with a disk n and is mounted on a screwed part o of the shaft p. The disk n is adapted to engage a loose drum which may be held by a band brake m. The brakes k, m and clutch h are operated by cams x, z, y on a shaft l operated by the auxiliary motor i. A nut u mounted on the shaft e engages projections v on the drum g, and allows of relative movement of the two drums during opening and closing. The speed of lowering, and hence of opening of the grab, depends on the speed of the motor, as when the load overruns the thrust brake n, m is applied.

Abstract: 21,799. Pilkington, W. W., Whittaker, J., Bradshaw, R., and Briggs, J. Oct. 3. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-The loose weft ends from the cops 22, Figs. 1 and 3, which may be inserted in the chain magazine described in Specification 4800/11, are supported and kept separate from one another by being passed between pins 8 on an endless chain 7 on pulleys on shafts 3, 4, the shaft 4 being rotated step by step by ratchet-mechanism each time transference occurs. The weft ends are held between pulleys 12, 13, the pulley 12 being carried on the shaft 4, so that the weft ends are drawn by the pulleys each time cop-transference occurs and are held taut as they descend, the weft end of the cop to be transferred being guided by the chain 7, so as, to be approximately level with the top of the shuttle. The drums 12, 13 may be replaced by a single drum covered with cloth, the weft threads being passed round it or round a portion of it. To allow a weft end to yield if necessary at the time of transference, the pulley 13 may be carried bv a weighted spring-controlled lever 14. In addition to or instead of this device, a band 21 of loosely woven flannel or other elastic material carried by pulleys 18, 19 may be arranged to deflect the weft ends, this band being moved to the right, if the weft end is subjected to a sudden pull. A sheet-metal guard 17 prevents the weft threads from catching in the pins in the ascending flight of the chain 7, whilst a bent rod 23 guides the weft threads to the drums 12, 13. Instead of the chain 7, a band composed of wire brush or fibrous material may be employed.

Abstract: 1727. Kastowsky, L., and Rybak, E. Jan. 22. Track apparatus actuating signals other than on trains and for stopping trains. - Trainstopping ramps b, d are pivotally mounted on the track in front of the home and distant signals. The former is raised into trainstopping position by a cord a, cam h, and weight r whenever the signal is put to danger. The latter is raised only when a train passes over a lever c at a time when the home signal is at danger. When the home signal is put to ' safety,' the movement of the cord a is in part transmitted to a cam l, the other part being dissipated in a lost-motion connexion between the chain pulley and the cam; and the lever c is moved into a horizontal position by the fore part of the cam l. When the home signal falls to danger, the cam l runs back until stopped bv the engagement of the lever c with the end of the rear part of the cam. This movement is transmitted to the cam o, which is thereby raised to the position shown. If a train passes over the lever while in this inclined position, the lever is depressed and the cam l released. Thereupon the weight s causes the cam l to rotate, and, owing to the previous movement having been in the same direction, no further movement is lost, and the cam o is rotated to bring the abutment d into train-stopping position. The parts are returned to their normal positions when the signals are returned to ' safety.' An additional semaphore u is operated from a pulley connected to the cam o through a pin-and-slot device which allows the cam o to move downwards from the position shown, in which the semaphore u is at safety without further movement of the semaphore.
