Abstract: 10,649. Wilkinson, W. J. May 31, 1912, [Convention date]. Etching. - In the production of half-tone relief printing-plates for ordinary or colour printing the plate is given two etchings, the first being an ordinary flat etching and the second an etching through a film or coating obtained photographically and adapted to retard the etching differentially in accordance with the different shades of the picture to be reproduced.

Patent GB-191317065-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Sighting Instruments for Air-craft.
Filed: 1913-07-25
Granted: 1914-02-19
Abstract: 17,065. Zeiss, C., [Firm of]. July 31, 1912, [Convention date]. Sighting - devices. - In a sighting-device for use on air-craft to facilitate the dropping of projectiles, which is adjustably inclined downwards and rendered stable by an oscillating- arrangement such as a forked suspension member e and a pendulum weight d<1> ; besides a sighting-line which follows a trial projectile &c., a second sighting-line is provided, which, on the setting of the first, is itself set with a movement in a known ratio to that of the first line and in the opposite direction from the vertical. As shown in Fig. 1, right and left handed threads on a spindle h engage slides f<1>, f<2> carrying the sighting- lines g<1>, g<2> so that on the line g<1> being set, the line g<2> is moved in the opposite direction to an extent depending on the ratio between the pitch of the threads. In the modification illustrated in Figs. 4 and 6, there is one sighting-line n<1> and the penta-prism i<1> is fixed rigidly in front of the objective a, but the prism i<3> is mounted on a spindle k<1>, which can be rotated by means of worm-gearing l<1>, k<2> from the milled head l<2>. When following a trial projectile, the head l<2> is rotated and the shaft k<1> turns clockwise, and the screwthread l<3> on the spindle l carries the part l<4> to the right. To set for actual sighting, the bushing m is screwed out, carrying the spindle l bodily to the left, till the part l<4> abuts against the casing. The prism i<2> is thus turned back past its zero position to an extent depending on the ratio between the thread l<3> and the pitch of the worm l<1>. In the modification illustrated in Fig. 7, two half fields are presented to the ocular c<1>, c<2>, the line g running across both fields, there being two objectives a<1>, a<2>, preceded by a fixed penta-prism i and two prisms i<4>, i<3>, as shown, of which the prism i' has a silvered hypotenusal surface and presents an inverted image, and the prism i' has a roof-surface and presents an erect image. Rotation of the sleeve q causes the member o to transverse and, as this engages by means of inclined slots o<0> lugs f<4> on the haircarrying slide f the hair can be caused to follow the trial projectile in one half field, while in the other it is set as required. In a further modification, similar to the last, there is one objective and the two prisms are so mounted in a rotary casing that only one is operative at a time, but they can be brought into play alternatively.

Abstract: 2617. Soc. du Carburateur Zenith. July 19, 1913, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors.-A rich mixture is formed and is conveyed by a small pipe passing through the induction pipe, to a point adjacent the cylinder admission valve, where it is mixed with the main supply of air. The float chamber b is co-axial with the main nozzle a and communicates with a chamber p which supplies the nozzle a, and a chamber d through a calibrated orifice c. The chamber d is open to the atmosphere at m, and the rich mixture formed therein passes up the tube f, mixes with fuel from the nozzle a, and then passes through ports o to the tube g in the induction pipe l.

When the user rises, the weight is allowed to fall, the cord 35 turns a push-lever 28 about a pivot a, and the lid 9 is pushed forward and falls upon the seat. The pressure opens the flaps, but escape of effluvia is prevented by a packing-ring 10 on the lid.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Controlling Electric and other Motors.
IPC: H02P7/34
Filed: 1915-03-17
Abstract: 4222. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. March 19, 1914, [Convention date.] Transmitting - mechanism.-The regulating- member of a motor is operated by hand and by automatic auxiliary means connected to it through differential gear. The arrangement is shown applied to an electric motor 25 by a brush-rocking bar 10. The movements of the handle 1 control the motor 25 directly. The regulating-member 10 is connected by a link to the lever 2 on the differential gear operated by the electric motor 23 through worm gear 8, 7. The field 22 of this motor is connected permanently to the battery 21 and the armature is connected through the reversing-switch 29. The actuating-coil 20 of the switch is supplied from a generator 11 on the shaft of the motor 25 through contacts on the main lever 1 and resistance 14. If the speed of the motor 25 at any time is greater than that corresponding to the position of the handle 1, a sufficient current flows through the coil 20 to close the reversing- switch in its upper position. The auxiliary motor 23 then rotates and operates the brush rocking gear to diminish the speed of the main motor 25. When the speed of the motor 25 is below its proper value, the current through the coil 20 is insufficient to lift the switch 29 and the auxiliary motor rotates in the opposite direction. At the correct speed of the motor 25, the switch 29 is held in its intermediate position. The auxiliary means therefore assist in maintaining a definite speed of the motor 25 for each position of the lever 1, but the contacts are so arranged that the lever 1 can move for a small distance on each side of the zero position before the circuits for the auxiliary mechanism are closed.
