Patent GB-181618-A (GB)
Abstract: 181,618. White, A. E., (Burroughs Adding Machine Co.). July 1, 1921. Adding and subtracting apparatus with operating means; preventing transfers to the left of significant digits.-An adding and subtracting machine, intended particularly for printing the present and previous readings of a gas &c. meter and computing and printing the difference to give the consumption, is provided with means whereby if the numerical capacity of the meter has been exceeded between the two readings the undesirable appearance of 9's to the left in the difference is prevented. Fig. 9 shows an example of the result of such computation performed upon a six bank machine. The invention is described as embodied in a Burroughs machine, shown in adding condition in Fig. 6. The usual transfer pawls 413 prevent the additional upward movement of the actuating racks 610, except at transfer, by blocking the pins 610<c>. For all the higher banks, these pins are also blocked by levers 4 pivoted coaxially with the pawls 413 and controlled by springs 10 connected to latches 9. When an amount key in any of these higher banks is depressed and the bar 214 consequently drawn rearwardly a lug on this bar engages the corresponding lever 4 and turns it clockwise so that it can no longer perform its blocking function. The lever is held in this position by its latch 9 provided with a wipar pawl 11 normally bearing on the bail member 902. When the latter moves forward in the operation of the machine the latch loses its support and falls into position to hold the lever 4 inoperative. By means of overlying lugs any lever 4 thus displaced ensures the corresponding displacement of all other levers to the right, whilst those to the left are unaffected and therefore prevent transfers. The latch 9 is raised, to allow the lever 4 to return to its normal position, when the total, that is, the amount consumed, is taken, for depression of the total key retires a cross-rod 209 bearing on an arm 9<c> of the latch which is thereby raised and is then supported by the wiper pawl 11.

[Also in Groups XXVI and XXIX] A fuel-flow proportioner for delivering fuel to a common outlet 12, Fig. 3, from two tank systems in an aircraft comprises a positive displacement metering pump 13, 14, Fig. 2, connected to each tank system, a fluid-pressure operated motor 17, 18 to drive all the units at the same speed, a device 20 responsive to the pressure in the common fuel outlet for controlling the flow of fluid to the motor in such fashion as to maintain that pressure at a predetermined value, and a device 27 for maintaining equal supply pressures to the pumps. In the preferred embodiment, two pumps are arranged at opposite sides of the motor 17, 18 which has a control valve 20 for a compressed-air supply actuated by a diaphragm 21 subjected through conduits 22, 23 to the pressure in the outlet 12. To maintain equal pressures in the inlets to the pumps, valves 27, 28 in the respective inlets are connected to a common diaphragm 29 actuated by the pressure difference between the valve outlets. If the valve 27 sticks in the nearly closed position the diaphragm lifts a valve 127 against a spring 37 to open an orifice 27B while if it sticks in the nearly open position a valve 128 is lifted to open an orifice 28B. A simpler arrangement without the valves 127, 128 is described. The clearance between the rotors are sufficient to prevent air from being pumped to the engine if fuel is lost from one of the tank systems.
