and arrangement together of all the mechanical parts forming
a brake for railway and other vehicles for the purposes set
forth, substantially as described and explained, and as illus-
trated in Fig. 5 of the drawings. (9.) Improved brakes
for railway and other vehicles characterized by controlling
pull-rods jointed at one end to a revolving drum on the one
vehicle and connected by a flexible or rope connection at
the other end to a similar connected revolving drum on the
coupled vehicle, the shafts of said drums being adapted to
move longitudinally relatively to the vehicle and revolvably
as moved by either of two other drums controlled by connect-
ing-ropes to the coupled vehicle, substantially as described
and explained. (10.) The combination and arrangement to-
gether of all the mechanical parts forming compensating
coupling for the controlling pull-rods for brakes of railway
and other vehicles for the purposes set forth, substantially
as described and explained, and as illustrated in Fig. 6
of the drawings. (11.) Improved brakes for railway and
other vehicles characterized by the mechanism as set forth
in the preceding ninth claim, modified by the interposition
of purchase-pulleys controlled by a spring take-up, sub-
stantially as described and explained. (12.) The combina-
tion and arrangement together of all the mechanical parts
forming compensating coupling for controlling pull-rods for
brakes of railway and other vehicles for the purposes set
forth, substantially as described and explained, and as illus-
trated in Fig. 7 of the drawings. (13.) Improved brakes
for railway and other vehicles characterized by controlling
pull-rods operated by a power-cylinder having steam and
exhaust ports and an air-inlet port with valves operated by
the one lever or actuating-handle and an air-exit port, for
the purposes set forth, substantially as described and ex-
plained. (14.) The combination and arrangement together
of all the mechanical parts forming power-control apparatus
for brakes of railway and other vehicles, for the purposes
set forth, substantially as described and explained, and as
illustrated in the Figs. 8 and 9 of the drawings.

No. 21930.—17th October, 1906.—FREDERICK BLANCKEN-
SEE, Electrical Engineer; GEORGE McMULLEN, Architect;
and FRED MOSEY, Gentleman, of Perth, Western Australia.
Gravity-fed arc lamp.
Claims.—(1.) An arc lamp having copper or other suitable
blocks as g3 and g4 formed with open ends for neatly holding
the carbons, said ends being formed with retention edges as
h and relief spaces as h2, so that the downward feed of the
carbons is controlled or resisted, substantially as explained,
and as illustrated in the drawings. (2.) An arc lamp having
a swinging arm as j2 controlled by magnetic coils as k2 and
rocker kl, said arm being adjustably connected to a feed-
block as g4 and carbon as a, whereby said carbon is made to
swing out and produce an arc with its fellow carbon as b upon
the current being turned on, substantially as explained, and
as illustrated in the drawings. (3.) An arc lamp having
downwardly convergent carbons as a and b, which are held
in sliding frames as c-cl and mounted between pillars as
c2, in combination with a lamp as specified and substantially
as explained, and as illustrated in the drawings. (4.) An
arc lamp having a magnetic ring as e for deflecting the arc
and for localising the terminal consumption of the carbons,
in combination with a lamp as specified and substantially
as explained, and as illustrated in the drawings. (5.) An
arc lamp having a deflector as g formed with a shoulder as
g2 for holding the fixed feed-block as g3, and having a top
opening as gl through which the carbons are guided, in
combination with a lamp as specified and substantially as
explained, and as illustrated in the drawings. (6.) An arc
lamp characterized by downward-feed resistant blocks as
g3 and g4, a swinging arm as j2 controlled by adjustable coils
as k2-k3, and downwardly convergent carbons as a and b,
whose terminals produce an arc light within a cupped deflector
as g, said carbons being held on sliding frames c-cl, and having
a magnetic ring as e, said parts being suitably held in by pillars
as c2 and f and parts and a crown ring as d, substantially as
and for the purposes set forth, and as illustrated in the draw-
ings.

No. 21949. — 23rd October, 1906. — ERNEST ALFRED
BARNES, of Stawell, Victoria, Australia, Cyanider. Improve-
ments in means for perforating to safeguard cheques and for
other purposes.
Claims.—(1.) An instrument having means for producing
simultaneously, in a cheque or sheet to prevent fraudulent
alteration, two long parallel lines of perforations, and also for
producing (one at a time) short lines thereof to cross the
long lines. (2.) A perforator having two long parallel rows of
pins or punching members, some of the latter being longer
than the rest, and means whereby (at will) the said longer
ones only may produce perforations, substantially as described.
(3.) In combination, in a perforator, punching-pins projecting
from a jaw, and an opposite jaw having two slits, across one
of which all the pins are movable, but across the other of
which some only of the pins are movable. (4.) In a perforator,
a jaw slit, for a cheque or other sheet, having at its inner
end an enlarged space j, substantially as and for the purpose
described. (5.) In a perforator, jaws having transversely set
heads provided with, respectively, long rows of punching-pins,
and recesses therefor, substantially as described. (6.) In a
perforator, jaws having long transversely set rows of punching-
pins, and recesses therefor, and (in combination with one of
the jaws) a spring arm or the like, with punching means for
producing a short line of perforations. (7.) In a perforator,
a jaw or jaws bent over and inward or similarly recessed to
produce a space alongside and behind the said jaw or jaws, to
receive paper or material for the purpose set forth. (8.) In a
perforator, having some punching-pins longer than the rest, a
movable member adapted to prevent the jaws closing except
to a predetermined distance apart for the purpose indicated.
(9.) In a perforator, the combination of movable jaws, punch-
ing-pins, recesses for the said pins, and two slits or recesses
one above the other for paper or material, whereby different
descriptions of perforations are producible as described.
(10.) A perforating-tool having handles y, jaws a, b, pins e, i,
stop k, and recess jl, substantially as described.
