Abstract: 7726. Ransford, R. B., [Cassella & Co., L.]. April 15. Dialkylamidooxydiphenylamines substituted in benzene nucleus by indifferent groups, such as alkyl, carboxyl, or halogens, are produced by heating the chlorhydrate of p-amido-o- or m-cresol or p-amidochlorophenol (NH2 : Cl : OH = 1 : 3 : 4) with dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine, or by carefully reducing the product obtained by simultaneous oxidation of dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine with o-cresol, m-cresol, o-chlorophenol, or salicylic acid. Examples are given in which dimethyl-p-pbenylenediamine is oxidized with o-cresol and salicylic acid, respectively, in caustic alkali solution by means of sodium-hypochlorite solution, and the resulting indophenols are reduced by means of sodium-sulphide solution at 50‹ C. Dyes, artificial, which are similar in properties to those described in Specification No. 16,247, A.D. 1900, are produced by heating the foregoing dialkylamidooxydiphenylamines with sodium sulphide, sulphur, and water at about 115‹ C. for 12 to 24 hours.

Filed: 1901-04-27
Granted: 1902-07-26
Abstract: 8706. Macculloch, A. G., and Dickinson, H. April 27. Receipts, checking and recording.-A key lever 25, radial to a sleeve 22 on a vertical shaft 17, lifts, when struck, a latch 7 on a pivot 6 from the cash drawer 2, and, when moved angularly, turns the shaft by pressure against an arm 21, the motion being communicated by gearing to an indicating- disc 13 and a ratchet-driven registering-wheel 70. With the operation of the latch, a bell is sounded. Ratchet teeth 38 on the indicating-disc are engaged by a pawl 39 (shown in plan in Fig. 13) to prevent its reversal by a spring pulling the toothed sector 16 on the vertical shaft, until the key has swung back to zero, and has there been struck against a lever which lifts the pawl. When this is done, a pin springs out from the lifted pawl, over a rim 60 on the disc, to prevent the pawl from reengaging until the disc has returned to zero, which brings a depression 61 in the rim under the pin. Unless the disc returns to zero, the key is held by a gravity latch 50, Fig. 5 ; but, with the return to zero, the arm 21 on the vertical shaft disengages the latch. A lug 63 on the disc strikes a forked rocking stop 66 at the zero position, Fig. 2, which kills recoil.

Abstract: 9197. Heath, G. W. May 3. Sextants; barometers.-Relates to an instrument of the sextant type for determining the distance between ships at sea during evolutions &c. Fig. 1 shows a plan, and Fig. 2 an underside view of the top plate. Upon the pivot d of an arm b a pinion e is mounted to engage with a quadrantal rack f carrying a mirror g. Opposite to this is a fixed mirror i. The end of the area b is graduated radially to chains, and the top plate has a number of curves k corresponding to masts of given height. To determine tne distance of a ship, it is only necessary to sight the mast and rotate the arm b until the top of the mast coincides with the horizon, when the intersection of the scale on the arm b with the curve for the given mast gives the distance in cables, or, knowing the distance, the height of the mast can be determined. In a modification, the scale on the arm b is made adjustable radially to allow for masts of intermediate height. The mirror i may be fitted with a shield q. To magnify the indication in aneroid barometers, the usual rocking bar is fitted with a toothed quadrant to drive a shaft carrying a drum upon which the chain is wound.

Title: Improved Means of and Apparatus for Producing Sound.
Inventor: HOPE-JONES ROBERT
Filed: 1901-12-31
Granted: 1902-05-01
Abstract: 26,737. Hope-Jones, R. Dec. 31. Organs and like instruments.-The invention comprises fluid-pressure or electric motors, sound - producing apparatus driven by them, and means for controlling the speed of the motor by the periodicity of the musical tone. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, the pressure of air in the box d closes the bellows f until the stop i and spring g open the valve e, allowing some air to escape and the bellows to expand again. Fig. 3 shows a number of metal plates b fixed at the bottom and there insulated from each other, but touching a t the top in pairs; an alternating current conducted to alternate pairs causes the members to rapidly move apart and come together again, their vibration producing sound. Fig. 5 shows a vibrating piston p for the same purpose; this, a thin pine sounding board, or a flexible chamber, may be operated by a fluid-pressure motor shown in Fig. 8, in which the fluid is admitted between the pistons through the port G. It passes alternately each piston by means of ports E, and ultimately escapes through the exhaust ports F, as the pistons uncover them. The speed of the motor may be regulated by adding a resonator n to the sounding-apparatus. A valve between a wind chest and a resonator may be rapidly vibrated by an electromotor. Other motors are described in Specification No. 26,738, A.D. 1901.
