Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 24,685. Potter, W. S. Nov. 17. Forging; rolling.-To enable finished shapes to be produced from manganese steel by rapid reductions in machines of ordinary construction, the ingot or the like is first heated slowly to above 430‹ C., or rapidly if the metal has been treated so as to be free from strains. The temperature is then raised as desired to 1010-1050‹ C., where the metal becomes weak, and from this point the temperature is raised evenly and uniformly to a point below the melting point, preferably at or below 1250‹ C. The metal is maintained at this high temperature until it is soft and plastic, while preserving the outer surface or skin strong and free from cracks, the beating being preferably carried on in an inert atmosphere. The outer surface of the metal is cooled to a temperature at or below that of the interior, this cooling being preferably performed in an inert atmosphere. The ingot or the like is then subjected to the action of a suitable mill, rolls, hammer, or press, the first reductions being preferably slight, after which the article may be heated if required to restore the necessary ductility for completing the reductions. If great toughness is required, the finished shape at or above red heat may be quenched in water, or it may be reheated and quenched.

Abstract: 24,126. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 20. Rotary transformers; windings ; exciting. - A synchronous alternating-current machine adapted for use as a frequency-changer or double-current generator, in which the two voltages may be independently varied, has a single armature provided with two windings of different pole numbers, or with an electrically-equivalent single winding, the field magnet having coils which produce two component magnetizations corresponding in pole-number to the two pole-numbers 'of the armature winding. In a single-phase arrangement, Fig. 1, the armature is provided with four coils or g r o u p s of coils A<1>, A<2>, A<3>, A<4> forming mechanically a single winding. One armature circuit extends between the terminals a<1>, a<1> with the coils A<1>, A<4> connected in parallel with the coils A<2>, A<3>, the current directions in the conductors being indicated by the upper arrow-heads so that the winding constitutes an eight-pole winding. The terminals a<2>, a<2> of the second armature circuit are connected to equipotential points of the eightpole circuit, and, so far as this circuit is concerned, the armature winding is a four-pole winding with coils of half-pitch. The field magnet is provided with eight poles F<1> ... F<8>. The coils on alternate poles F<1>, F<3> ... are connected in series across the exciter C so as to give an eight-pole magnetization, as indicated by the top letters n, s. On the other poles F<2>, F<4> ... are placed a second series of coils, which are connected to the exciter through a rheostat D and superpose a four-pole magnetization on these poles, as indicated by the bottom letters n, s. The eight-pole and four-pole magnetizations induce voltages in the armature circuits without mutual interference, and the relative voltages are varied by means of the rheostat D. To utilize the armature copper more effectively, all of the field poles may be employed for the four-pole magnetization as well as for the eightpole, alternate pairs of poles being magnetized by the four-pole windings so as to have the same polarity. In a further modification, Fig. 3, the poles F<2>, F<4>, F<6>, F<8> only are wound and a resistance E<1> is adapted to be connected in shunt with a portion of the field coils. If the. resistance is open circuited, there exists an eight-pole magnetization only, but by closing the circuit of the resistance as indicated in dotted lines and moving the contact towards its dotted-line position, the poles F<2>, F<6> are strengthened and the poles F<4>, F<8> weakened, thus producing the equivalent of eight-pole and four-pole magnetizations. To avoid unbalancing, the numbers of poles should not be less than eight and four. Specifications 6223/06 and 15,711/06 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in Means or Arrangements for Detecting and Indicating the Presence of Gas in Coal Mines and other Places.
Inventor: ALDERSON WILLIAM
IPC: G01N25/36
Filed: 1909-10-23
Granted: 1910-10-24
Abstract: 24,371. Alderson, W., and Holmes, J. H. Oct. 23. Explosive gases, detecting. -Relates to moans or arrangements which, when the presence of explosive gas is detected thereby, cause the electric supply to tools, machines, &c. in mines &c. to be cut off. In one arrangement, metal rods or tubes E, F, Fig. 1, are provided with coils 3, 31 of normally equal heating-capacity. One coil 3, is of platinum, and the other coil 31 is of material unaffected by gas, and both are in contact with the surrounding atmosphere. The coils are supplied with current from the mains A, B, expansion of the tubes E, F, when normally heated, acting through levers 22 to move a spring-pressed lever 25 longitudinally. Excessive heating of the tube E due to the presence of gas causes the lever 25 to tilt and release an arm G which, through an insulating-block 50, separates spring contacts 30 and removes the short-circuit on a coloured lamp 36, which is thus lit. The arm G also bridges contacts 37, 38, and short-circuits the coils 3, 31 and a solenoid 34, the core of which solenoid drops and bridges contact springs 48. This short-circuits the solenoid of the main switch K, and the no-volt release coil 42 of the pilot switch H, which both open. The motor cannot be re-started until the lever G, which is preferably kept in a locked case, has been re-set. In a modification, bimetallic strips, when unequally heated, curve unequally and close a circuit, which short-circuits the solenoid of the main switch K, and the no-volt release coil 42, and also acts through a solenoid and core to separate the strips 30, the core being held up until re-set by hand. The lamp 36 is in series with the solenoid 34, and the current therefore being reduced the solenoid cannot operate when cooling of the strips causes the circuit through them to be broken. The Provisional Specification also states that a platinum coil may be placed around a mercury thermometer having contacts which are closed when gas, acting on the platinum, causes the mercury to expand ; a circuit is thus closed which operates a signal and actuates devices for cutting- off the electric supply to tools, machines, &c.
