Title: Improvements relating to Submarine Signaling and to Liquid Resonators
Inventor: BLAKE LUCIEN IRA
Filed: 1907-02-11
Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 3360. Blake, L. I. Feb. 11. Signals, marine and ship.-In submarine sound signalling, the sounds produced or received are intensified by the resonance of an isolated mass of liquid. The liauid resonator is formed with rigid walls of hard steel. Fig. 2 is a section of a soundproducing device in which the resonating-cylinder A has walls 1¢ inches in thickness of hard and tough steel built up by shrinking several tubes one over the otber. The cylinder A is screw-threaded on its exterior and is mounted in the frame B, which is also formed with a chamber E supplied with water under pressure by the pipe G. A spider H carries a plate K of slightly smaller diameter than an opening in the end of the chamber E, thus forming an annular orifice L through which the water passes and impinges upon the bevelled edge of the cylinder A. The pitch of the note produced depends upon the internal dimensions of the cylinder A. Signals may be sent by interrupting or varying the pressure of the water, or by deflecting; the jet of water in the chamber E. Fig. 3 shows a sound-receiving device in which the liquid resonator consists of a steel cylinder M, the inner end of which is closed by a threaded nut N having a small orifice V closed by a microphone T in circuit with a receiving-telephone. A small opening R may be made in the side of the ship to permit access of the water into the cylinder M.

Title: Improved Manufacture of Para-nitro- and Para-amidodiphenylamine and of Derivatives thereof.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
Filed: 1907-06-19
Granted: 1908-04-09
Abstract: 14,167. Bloxam, A. G., [Akt. - Ges. f³r Anilin-Fabrikation]. June 19. p-Nitro- and p-amino-diphenylamines and their derivatives are obtained by eliminating the sulphonic group from 4 - nitro - 2 - sulphonic, and 4-amino-2-sulphonic derivatives of diphenylamine and its derivatives, (the sulphonic, and nitro or amino groups being in the same phenyl residue), by heating to not more than 100‹ C., with a mineral acid, such as sulphuric, phosphoric, phosphorous, hydrochloric, or hydrobromic acid and at atmospheric pressure. Compounds of the dipbenylamine series may be used as parent materials, which contain, in addition to the sulphonic and nitro or amino.groups, other groups such as alkyl, hydroxyl, carboxyl, and halogen. In one example, p-aminodiphenylamine is produced by heating a mixture of 4-aminodiphenylamine-2-sulphonic acid with 60 per cent sulphuric acid on a water bath for from six to eight hours, diluting with water, and separating the product by neutralizing with alkali. In other examples are produced p-aminophenyltolylamine, 4-aminodiphenylamine-2<1>-carboxylic acid, 4-amino- 4<1> - oxydiphenylamine, 4 - nitrodiphenylamine, 4- nitro-4<1>-aminodiphenylamine, 4-nitro-4'-methyl-3'- aminodiphenylamine, 4-nitro-4<1>-methyldiphenylamine, 4-nitro-3<1>-chlordiphenylamine, and 4-nitro- 4<1>-oxydiphenylamine. 4-Aminodiphenylamine-2- sulpbonic-2<1>-carboxylic acid is prepared as a parent material by condensing p-chlornitrobenzene-o-sulphonic acid with anthranilic acid, and reducing the sulphocarboxylic acid thus obtained. 4-Nitro-4<1>- methyl-3<1>-aminodipbenylamine-2-sulphonic acid is prepared by condensing p-chlornitrobenzene-o-sulphonic acid with m-toluylenediamine. 4-Nitro-4<1>- methyldiphenylamine-2-sulphonic acid is obtained by condensing pchlornitrobenzene-o-sulphonic acid with p-toluidine. 4-Nitro-3<1>-chlordiphenylamine- 2 - sulphonic acid or its m - chloraniline salt is obtained by condensing p - chlornitrobenzene - o - sulphonic acid with m-chloraniline,

Granted: 1908-06-18
Abstract: 16,334. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Grimston, G. S. July 16. Typewriters.-In a type-printing telegraph receiver, a step-by-step selective switch, actuated by the line currents, closes a local circuit through one or other of the magnets of an electro-mechanical typewriter. The selective switch B, Fig. 4, which is fully described in Specification No. 15,878, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Electricity, Regulating &c.], comprises a quick-acting polarized magnet e controlling the escape-wheel h and contactarm k, and a slow-acting magnet o energized when the last current-impulse sent to line is prolonged, and adapted to press contact-ring s upon the arm k, thus closing the circuit of the battery i through the selected type-lever magnet l, and the common magnet n controlling the feed and inking - mechanisms, The contacts m<1>, m<2> and maguets y, z control shift-mechanism for effecting change of case by moving the platen mechanism. In the construction of typewriter shown in Fig. 1, the type-lover p carries two types p<2>, p<3> and the tapecarrying roller r is mounted in a forked lever r<2>, the position of which is controlled by the magnets y, z so that the printing takes place from one or other of the types p<2>, p<3> according to which of the magnets y, z was last energized. The paper feedmechanism is actuated when the magnet n is de-energized, the armature n<1>, Fig. 2, having an extension n<3> engaging the curved pivoted lever u<1>, to which is attached a feed-pawl w co-operating with the ratchet-wheel r'. The reversing inking- ribbon mechanism comprises two ribbon-spools q<2>, q<3>, against which rest the two pivoted arms x<4>, connected by springs x<2> to an arm x, carrying a double spring pawl x<1>. When one spool is exhausted. the arm x<5> attached to the corresponding arm x<4> releases a detent so as to allow the arm x to be pulled in the direction of the other arm x<4> by the spring x<2>, tensioned owing to the outward movement of the latter arm. Instead of each magnet l operating a type-lever having two types, a single type may be associated with each magnet, and in this case the magnets may be arranged in groups, each connected with a common return to the local battery, there being as many magnets, one from each group, connected with each of the relay contacts, as there are groups, except with such contacts as are set apart for controlling a switch which determines which of the groups is for the time being connected with the local battery. Specification No. 2225, A.D. 1873, [Abridgment Class Electricity, Regulating &c.], is referred to. The Provisional Specification describes in detail the selective switch and the impulse-sender therefor described in the above-mentioned Specification No. 15,878, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Electricity, Regulating &c.].
