Title: Improvements in or relating to electric discharge tubes
Inventor: HOUGH GEORGE HUBERT
IPC: H01J17/48
Filed: 1950-03-24
Abstract: 692,428. Discharge apparatus. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. March 22, 1951 [March 24, 1950], No. 7432/50. Addtion to 692,415. Class 39(i) [Also in Group XIX] A cold cathode sequence discharge tube adapted to step a discharge in either direction along an array of cathodes comprises a row of storage cathodes 21, 22 and 23, Fig. 2, each comprising a rectangular plate portion 32 and two tail portions 33 and 34, and two rows of transfer cathodes arranged to form pairs 24-25, 26-27, and 28-29. Each transfer cathode is similar in construction and operation to the storage cathode described in Specification 692,415, and comprises a tail portion 30 and a plate portion 31. If cathode 22, say, is discharging, provided the plate portion is covered with glow, coupling to the tail portions of cathodes 27 and 28 is approximately equal and greater than to cathodes 26 and 29. If a negative pulse is applied to cathodes 24, 26 and 28, cathode glow will transfer to the tail portion of transfer cathode 28 and then on to the plate portion. At the end of the pulse the glow will transfer to the tail 33 of cathode 23 and thence on to the plate 32. Similarly, if a negative pulse is applied to transfer cathodes 25, 27 and 29, the transfer proceeds in the opposite direction to storage cathode 21. In the circuit arrangement, Fig. 1, (see Group XIX) the tube 1 comprises a row of storage cathodes 2, 3, 4, and 5 connected through resistances 12, 13, 14 and 15 respectively to earth, a row of transfer cathodes 6, and 10 connected to a terminal 16, and a second row of transfer cathodes 7, 9 and 11 connected to a terminal 17. A common anode 18 is connected through a resistance 19 to the positive terminal of battery 20, the negative terminal of which is earthed. The transfer cathodes are normally biased above earth potential by means not shown. Assuming a discharge at cathode 3, if a negative pulse is applied to terminal 17, transfer cathode 9 will commence to discharge, and it is arranged that the voltage drop through resistance 19 is sufficient to extinguish the discharge at cathode 3. Provided the pulse is of sufficient duration to permit the requisite decay of residual ionization at cathode 3, on removal of the pulse cathode 4 will fire. A further pulse applied to terminal 17 will transfer the discharge to cathode 5. If, however, a negative pulse be applied instead to terminal 16, the glow being on storage cathode 4, transfer cathode 8 will. fire and will transfer the discharge back again to storage cathode 3 on removal of the pulse. The cathodes may be arranged in circular arrays, and in practice field control plates are positioned adjacent to the cathodes to confine the glow discharges to the desired surfaces. Specification 639,827 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in photographic view finders
IPC: G03B13/20
Filed: 1935-03-09
Abstract: 444,226. View-finders for kinematographic and photographic cameras. HOWSER, H. R., 1604, 19th Street, Washington, U.S.A. March 9, 1935, No. 7454. Convention date, March 15, 1934. [Classes 97 (i) and 98 (i)] A lens system for a photographic camera comprises a view finder portion surrounding and optically coaxial with a central exposure portion. In Figs. 2 and 3 the lens system is mounted on a ring 1 which is secured to the bellows 4 of a reflex camera, and an inner barrel 13 separates the lens systems into a central taking portion E and an outer portion F which is used solely for view finding. The diaphragm 10 controls the aperture of the lens E, and when making the exposure the view finding portion F is covered by a masking device comprising a series of sector-shaped meshing elements 16 which are urged inwards by the limited rotation of a ring 19 which has slotted tangential arms 22 engaging with pins 23 on the elements 16. A bell-crank lever 24 rotates the ring 19, and is controlled through a flexible rod 29 by the reflex mirror of the camera so that when this is moved upwards the bell-crank lever 24 closes the masking elements to cover the lens portion F. Manual actuation, of the masking means is made when desired by a thumb piece 34. In a modification shown in Fig. 4, the leaves 38 of the diaphragm 35<1> are pivoted and extend into the lens portions through the sides of the barrel 36. They are operated by a rotatable ring 41 which is connected to the inner ring 43 of the diaphragm by rods 42. The leaves 38 move when adjusted so that a constant light valve passes through the lens system irrespective of the diaphragm setting. In a kinematographic camera, Fig. 7, the outer portion of the lens system is segregated from the inner exposure lens portion E. It is mounted in a casing 67 which is internally and externally threaded. A light box 58 is provided with slots in its front wall 59 and with a viewing lens 63 and opening 64. A series of openings are provided in the shutter of the camera which coincide with the outer lens portion so that view finding is possible throughout the exposures. A threaded coupling 71 permits relative focusing adjustment of the two lens portions. This principle of segregation of the two lens portions is also applied to a camera with a focal-plane shutter, the view finding light passing at the side of the shutter blind portion. Also in a folding camera, the upper half of the annular shaped view finder portion is in alignment with a semicircular mirror which throws the image upwards into a hinged light shade.
