No. 15576.—30th October, 1902.—INTERNATIONAL FUEL COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of New Jersey, with offices at 100, Washington Street, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America (assignees of William Adolph Koneman, of Chicago aforesaid, Engineer. Artificial-fuel briquettes.

Claims.—(1.) The described method of manufacturing artificial fuel, which consists in preparing non-coking-coal powder by subjecting the coal to mechanical pulverization, mixing intimately therewith more or less finely divided coking coal and an agglutinant, and moulding the mass into briquettes. (2.) The method described in claim 1, with the addition that the coking coal is also prepared by mechanically reducing it to a fine powder. (3.) An artificial-fuel briquette formed by the method described in claim 1 or claim 2. (4.) An artificial-fuel briquette according to claim 3, in which the agglutinant is non-smoke-producing, as described. (5.) An artificial-fuel briquette according to claim 3, having incorporated therewith combustible fibrous material, as described. (6.) An artificial-fuel briquette according to claim 3, in which the agglutinant is composed of glutine and chondrine, produced as described. (7.) An artificial-fuel briquette according to claim 3, in which the agglutinant is composed of glutine and chondrine, produced as described and rendered insoluble (8.) An artificial-fuel briquette according to claim 3, rendered waterproof by a coating of waterproofing material.
(Specification, 6s.)

No. 15577.—30th October, 1902.—WILLIAM ADOLPH KÖNEMAN, of Chicago, Illinois, United States of America, Engineer. Pulverising-apparatus.

Claims.—(1.) A pulverising-machine characterized by a horizontally disposed rotating crushing-bed having a frusto-conical crushing-face, and a series of radially disposed crushing-rollers journalled beyond the periphery of the crushing-bed in vertically adjustable supports. (2.) A pulverising-machine characterized by a horizontally disposed rotating crushing-bed having a frusto-conical crushing-face, and a series of radially disposed crushing-rollers journalled beyond the periphery of the crushing-bed in journal-boxes which are pivotally mounted in vertically adjustable supports to swing in the vertical plane. (3.) A pulverising-machine of the character defined in claim 2, in which the rotary shaft supporting the crushing-bed is mounted in a cushioned step-box, substantially as set forth. (4.) A pulverising-machine according to claim 3, in which the shaft rests at its lower end against step-buttons. (5.) A pulverising-machine according to claim 2, in which the resistance to rise of the crushing-rollers is the weight thereof supplemented by stiff springs 1. (6.)

Improvements in or relating to brakes for electric tram-cars and like vehicles.

Claims.—(1.) The combination with an electro-magnetic track-brake shoe, the longitudinal movement of which relatively to the car causes the application of the wheel-brakes, of mechanically operated means for applying the track-brake shoe to the rail for the purpose specified. (2.) In a brake apparatus having an electro-magnetic track-brake which, when applied to the rail, causes the application of the wheel-brakes, a cam piece or stop pivoted to a fixed part of the car or to a part of the brake apparatus and adapted to engage with a moving part of the brake apparatus after the brakes have been applied, and thereby prevent its movement in such a direction as would release the brakes. (3.) In an electrically propelled car a device operatively connected with one of the revolving shafts and adapted automatically to reverse the connections of the armature or field magnet of the electric motor or motors when the direction of movement of the car is altered. (4.) For use with electric tramway and railway vehicles provided with electro-magnetic brake apparatus, a controller having both power and braking positions, in which latter the motors are arranged to supply current to the brake magnets by acting as generators in a local braking-circuit, and provided with additional contacts on the controller-drum so that when the motors are cut out of circuit current may be supplied direct to the brake magnets from an outside source such as the main current line or a battery. (5.) A controller for electric motors having both power and braking positions and in which the controller-handle can be moved to an extra braking position in which the motors are joined in a local braking-circuit, but in which the relative connections of their armatures and field magnets are the same as they are when the controller is in one of its power positions. (6.) For use with electric tramway and railway vehicles, a controller having both power and braking positions, in which latter the motors are arranged to supply a braking-current by acting as generators in a local circuit and having mechanism for operating the reversing-switch to reverse the motor connections by a movement of the main controller-handle from a power position to a braking position, and vice versa, the said mechanism operating to re-reverse the motor connections when the main controller-handle is moved to an extra braking position provided for that purpose. (7.) A controller for electric motors having both power and braking positions, in which latter the motors are arranged to supply a braking current by acting as generators in a local circuit,
