Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Aromatic Sulphinic Acids.
Filed: 1906-06-05
Granted: 1907-06-05
Abstract: 13,054. Dreyfus, C., and Clayton Aniline Co. June 5. Sulphinic acids are prepared by acting on a diazo derivative of a primary aromatic amine with a reducing agent, other than ethyl alcohol, or by electrolytic or other reducing-means, in the presence of a dissolved copper salt and sulphur dioxide. In an example, o-toluidine, dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid, is diazotized, and the product is saturated with sulphur dioxide gas. A strong, aqueous copper-sulphate solution is added before, or after, treating with sulphur dioxide. Zinc dust is then added gradually, and the tolueneo-sulphinic acid is separated by any known or suitable means. The sulphinic acid, retained by the precipitate, may be extracted by dilute alkali. Instead of saturating the above solution with sulphur dioxide, sodium bisulphite may be added ; instead of zinc dust, titanous sulphate, stannous chloride, or glucose, stannous salts, invert sugar, cane sugar, starch paste, glycerin, and hyposulphites, may be used.

Title: Manufacture of Halogenised Vat Dyestuffs and Derivatives thereof.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1907-03-18
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 6490. Imray, O., [Society of Chemical Industry in Basle]. March 18. Dyes, artificial.-Halogenated vat dye-stuffs of the thioindigo series are obtained : (1) by beating a halogen derivative of salicylthioacetic acid or of thioindoxyl (3-oxy-(1)-thionaphthene) with an aromatic nitrobydrocarbon ; (2) by heating a halogen derivative as specified above with isatin, or an isatin arylide, or a halogen derivative of one of these, in presence of an aromatic hydrocarbon or of acetic anhydride ; (3) by the action of a halogen or a substance yielding halogen upon the non- halogenized dye-stuffs obtained by heating salicylthioacetic acid or thioindoxyl with a hydrocarbon, by condensing salicylthioacetic acid or thioindoxyl with isatin, or isatin arylide or a halogen derivative of one of these, or upon the halogenized dyestuffs prepared as in process (1) above. Suitable halogenizing-agents are chlorine, bromine, antimony pentachloride, sulphuryl chloride, and a mixture of concentrated nitric and hydrochloric acids. Fuming sulphuric acid sulphonates the dyestuffs. Leuco bodies are obtained by reduction of the dye-stuffs with potassium hydrosulphide. Specifications Nos. 4687, 10,405, 11,760, 24,092, and 28,578, A.D. 1906, are referred to. Chlorsalicylthioacetic acid (COOH: SCH2COOH: C1 = 1 : 2 : 4), one of the parent materials referred to above, is prepared by diazotizing chloranthranilic acid and coupling the diazo compound with thioglycollic acid in presence of alkali. This acid, when fused with alkali, yields chlorthioindoxyl.

Title: Apparatus for Distributing Compressed Air for Purposes of Ventilation.
Inventor: ARNDT HUGO
Filed: 1907-04-29
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 9906. Arndt, H., and Nurnberg, A. April 29. Forced ventilation.-A supply of compressed air for ventilation is distributed through hollow vanes, which are rotated by the reactive effect of the issuing air jets so that the issuing air is also subjected to a fan action. The compressed air is supplied through passages in a fixed conical piece 2 to the two hollow vanes 1, from which the air issues through a slot or series of holes 6 along one edge of each vane, and thus causes rotation of the vanes on the conical piece 2 by reactive effect, as in a Barker's mill. The issuing air is further distributed by the action of the following vane. The vanes are each inclined to the plane of rotation, and are adjusted in this position by a nut 5 on a pipe 3, which screws into the hollow rotating portion 1.

Title: Improvements in Change Speed and in Change Speed and Reverse Mechanisms.
Filed: 1907-05-03
Granted: 1908-04-02
Abstract: 10,268. Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co., Remington, A. A., and Rowledge, A. J. May 3. Variable-speed and reversing gearing.-Relates to a change-speed and reversing gear suitable for motor-vehicles in which for the high speed the power is taken direct from the driving-shaft, for the second or another speed the power is taken from a countershaft, and for the third or a further speed the power is taken from the driving-shaft after passing through the countershaft. The driving-shaft is in two pieces A, A', in line, the former being connected to the engine, and the latter having a bevel-pinion or worm a meshing with one of a pair of corresponding elements c, c<1> on the driven axle E. The countershaft is also in two parts B, B', of which the latter has a bevel pinion or worm b meshing with the element c'. Upon a squared part of the shaft A there slides a pinion a' formed in one with clutch jaws a<2>, the latter being adapted to engage claws a<3> on the shaft A' to effect the high speed. To bring about the second speed, the pinion a<1> is slid to the right into mesh with a wheel b<1> fast on the shaft B, and at the same time a pinion b<2> is slid to the left on a feather &c. on the shaft B until clutch claws b<3> upon the pinion b<2> engage claws b<4> on the shaft B<1>, effecting a driving connexion. The third speed is produced when the pinion b<2> is slid into mesh with a wheel a<4> fast on the shaft A'. Reversal is effected by disconnecting the elements b<2>, a<4> and reconnecting them through a pair of wheels F, F<1> sliding together on another countershaft. A neutral or no-drive position is shown on Fig. 1. In two modifications, an additional speed is obtained by connecting the shafts B, A<1>, and the shafts A, B, respectively, by additional pairs of gears. The speed-changes are carried out through sliding rods h, h<1>, h<2> and a hand-lever controlled by a suitable " gate." In the Provisional Specification an arrangement of " gate " is described with transverse passages for the first and third speeds on one side of a longitudinal passage, and a transverse passage for the second speed on the opposite side of the longitudinal passage, the transverse passage for the reverse being at the other end of the longitudinal passage.
