Patent GB-190710611-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Methods of and Apparatus for Reproducing Pictures or Photographs in Natural Colors.
Inventor: PHILBROOK BURTON STEARNS
Filed: 1907-05-07
Granted: 1908-07-07
Abstract: 10,611. Philbrook, B. S. May 7. Colour photography ; positives, producing directly; photo-mechanical printing.-The plate in the camera is exposed through three filters of violet, green, and orange colour, passing across the aperture in regular sequence at a suitable speed, say 150 per minute. The filters are most conveniently mounted on a rotating disk. The exposed plate so obtained is positive as to the colours in the picture, but-negative as to the black and white. To obtain a complete positive, the said exposed plate is recopied through the rotating filters. Prints are obtained by printing on to a gelatin plate, dyeing successively in blue, red, and yellow baths, and then transferring on to a paper or like support. The one plate also serves to obtain the blocks for threecolour printing, by printing in the ordinary way and using the coloured inks required, only one block being necessary for printing the three colours.
Patent GB-190711357-A (GB)
Title: Improvement in Blowing Engines
Filed: 1907-05-15
Granted: 1907-09-12
Abstract: 11,357. Marks, E. C. R., [Southwark Foundry and Machine Co.]. May 15. Compressing.-Relates to air-compressors, particularly adapted to be driven by gas engines, in which means are provided for keeping the airadmission valves open so that the compressor may be unloaded by hand, when desired, or automatically when a predetermined receiver pressure is attained. According to the present invention, which is shown in connexion with the compressor described io Specification No. 12,784, A.D. 1903, each admission valve, which may be of the rotary oscillating type, or of the gridiron slide type, is operatively connected by a rod D, Fig. 5, to a twoarmed rocking lever E actuated by cam-surfaces G<3>, G<4> on a reciprocating rod G, and the lever E is pivoted on an eccentric disk F on a rocking shaft F<1>, or mounted on a movable pivot, so that it can be turned into the position shown in Fig. 6, in which, the cam-surface G<4> having operated the lever to open the admission valve, the lever is unaffected by the further reciprocations of the rod G. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the rocking shafts F', which carry the valve-actuating levers, are turned to open the admission valves through the medium of links I<1>, I<2>, 1<3>, by means of a handlever I<4>, or automatically, at a certain pressure in the receivers B at the ends of the compressing- cylinder, by means of compressed air led by a pipe J<2> below a piston J. The hand-lever may be mounted directly on the rocking shaft. In that shown in Fig. 3, the rocking shafts F<1> are operated by means of compressed air from a source N admitted to cylinders M containing differential pistons M connected to the rocking shafts. When three-way valves 0 are turned to admit compressed air through pipes M<4> to act on the larger area of the pistons, the admission valves are held open against the constantly - -acting pressure on the smaller area of the pistons tending to keep the valves open. The valves O also communicate with exhaust passages (not shown).

Title: Improved Means for Lighting Lamps and Lanterns.
Inventor: COOKE HOWARD SEYMOUR
Filed: 1908-01-18
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 1206. Cooke, H. S. Jan. 18. Lighting gas; lighting oil lamps; velocipede and candle lamps. - Igniters for lamps of the type comprising a pivoted match-holder and a striking- surface are constructed with pivoted tubular holders controlled by springs, and the striker may be arranged on the wick tube. As applied to a velocipede lamp, Fig. 2, a tube D for receiving the matches is controlled by a spring d<4>, and is pivoted by means of a ball d' with trunnions d<2>, to lugs a<2> on a swelled side a<1> of the lamp. The ball d' bears against a perforation in the side a' and closes the same against the inlet of air. The tube D is cut away at its outer end d<3> to enable the match to be held while it is being moved over a striking- surface E, which is preferably mounted slightly away from the wick tube to prevent oil from getting on the surface. The tube D may be arranged to turn on a vertical pivot, and this enables a short wick tube to be used. This modification may be applied to existing lamps by mounting the tube on the sliding piece employed near the winder. The surface E may be hinged and controlled by a spring. In the Provisional Specification, the application to candle lamps is described, and it is stated that the tube D is provided with a thumb-piece, which also protects the match from rain.

Abstract: 9879. Mayrow, J. J. May 6. Drilling.-A multiple drilling-machine comprises a frame carrying two fixed plates having a number of archimedean screws carrying drills, oscillated or rotated by one or more reciprocating plates. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a plate 8 is reciprocated by rods 9, 10 from a shaft 13 rotated by hand, foot, or electrically, or by belt or gearing from a primemover, and has suitable holes to engage screws 15, which carry the drills 16 and are mounted in fixed plates 4, 5. The drills are thus oscillated. The drills may be continuously rotated by the use of double screws 15, 15<a>, Fig. 3 ; on these are reciprocated a pair of plates 8, which carry collars 23, 24, having projections engaging the screw-threads which are prevented from rotating in opposite directions of reciprocation by the use of oppositely-mounted ratchets 25, 26 and pawls. The work is clamped on a table 18 raised or lowered by a lever 20. The framework 1 may be capable of angular adjustment on another frame. The drills may be arranged in any manner for drilling holes round a box lid or piece of metal, or for drilling strips of solid or plastic material. A fan or blower may be used to remove cuttings or dust. According to the Provisional Specification, the plate 8 may be reciprocated outside the fixed plates, the screw extending from one fixed plate and the drill from the other, and a collar on the spindle engaging between the fixed plates.

Title: A New Process for Preparing Wood.
Inventor: NUSSBAUM GUILLAUME ARNAUD
Filed: 1908-05-15
Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 10,554. Nussbaum, G. A. May 15. Woodwork, ornamental.-To give an ornamental appearance and increased durability to wood, the surface is uniformly charred by flame and then rubbed with wire brushes to remove the charred portion, leaving the surface with a uniformly darkened colour and with the harder parts of the grain in slight relief. To enable the flame to more easily penetrate into corners and crevices of mouldings and carvings, the surface may be previously treated with a substance that easily burns, such as powdered sugar or resin, or with a chemical that supports combustion, such as nitrate of potash. When it is desired to char deeply, the air may be excluded temporarily by a protective coating such as aluminium paint, black lead, or a silicate.
