No. 25662.—18th March, 1908.—ARTHUR HUNGERFORD POLLEN, a Director of Linotype and Machinery, Limited, of 188 and 189 Fleet Street, London, England; JOHN GLENNIE HOLBOURNS, Linotype Operator, of 188 and 189 Fleet Street aforesaid; and WILLIAM FLETCHER, Engineer, of Linotype and Machinery Depot, Mercer’s Avenue, Endell Street, Long Acre, Middlesex, England. Improvements connected with the magazines of typographical composing-machines.

[NOTE.—This is an application under the International and Intercolonial Arrangements, the date given being the official date of the application in Great Britain.]

Extract from Specification.—According to the present invention, two magazines adapted to contain different founts are pivotally connected to the machine, one magazine having the axis of its pivot along one side of it and the other magazine having that of its pivot along the opposite side of it, the two magazines being pivoted to respectively opposite sides of the machine, whereby either magazine can be turned into and occupy the composing position on the machine, or be turned out of it to make room for the other magazine. The magazines are pivoted along their left- and right-hand sides instead of along their front and rear edges, for the reason that neither of the said sides is called upon to co-operate with either the distributor or the assembler. The pivot of each magazine may be of such a type that the magazine can be taken off the machine and another substituted for it. Thus the substituted magazine in any “quick change” may be either the one pivotally connected with the machine and for the time being out of the composing position, or it may be one waiting ready to be placed upon the machine. But the present invention avoids substitution from a source outside the machine, excepting when neither of the two magazines pivotally connected therewith contains the desired fount.

No. 25667.—10th March, 1909.—GEORGE GARIBALDI TURRI, of 497–499 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Registered Patent Attorney, &c. (nominee of Ettore Bellini and Alessandro Tosi, both of 4 Rue du 29 Juillet, Paris, France, Civil Engineers). System of directed wireless telegraphy.

Claim.—A method applicable to the transmitting apparatus and receiving apparatus of directed wireless-telegraphy system, and allowing either of insuring transmission solely in the direction of a selected receiver, or of ascertaining the direction of an unknown transmitter and insuring reception solely from that direction, said method consisting in combining with the dirigable system of the transmitter or receiver a uniformly radiating wireless-telegraphy system, the aerial of which is substantially in the symmetrical axis of the aerial of the dirigable system, and in arranging that for transmission the fields due to the two systems are substantially in phase or in opposition, with equal or substantially equal amplitudes, and that for reception the effects of the two systems on a cymoscope are substantially equal and in phase or in opposition.

No. 25671.—11th March, 1909.—HARRY FISHER, of 63 Revans Street, Wellington, New Zealand. An improved life-saving apparatus for use at sea.

Extract from Specification.—The life-saving apparatus is constructed in the following manner, and consists of one iron cylinder or vessel, each end being cone or wedge shape, a circular iron partition dividing the ends from the main part of cylinder to the outer edge of cylinder; four rails are attached lengthwise, one on each quarter of circle or nearly so; a footboard is attached thereto, steadied and kept in position by iron stays attached to cylinder running lengthways; on each quarter of circle of cylinder are air-cocks to admit air to interior of cylinder. The air-cocks are ordinary straight taps with lever handles, taps short and straight. The closing of taps is automatic, and to be opened by occupants. Oars are attached to outside cylinder. Manholes are placed one on each quarter-circle of cylinder for admission to occupants. Man-traps or holes secured from the inside. Encircling the inside cylinder are bearing grooves or runners on which is cradled another part of cylinder, ⅔ or more, intact, having complete circular ends on bearings or rollers, thus allowing the outer cylinder to revolve round the inner, which practically remains stationary.

[NOTE.—This is an application under the International and Intercolonial Arrangements, the date given being the official date of the application in Great Britain.]

Claims.—(1.) In a hat, or a sweat-band therefor, the combination with the band A of a strip with a loop or slot to receive an elastic cord B and also a strip E with an openwork edge so placed that the elastic cord holds the meshes of strip E distended, substantially as described. (2.) A sweat-band or leather for hats as a whole, substantially as described and shown.

No. 25680.—10th March, 1909.—THE MASSEY-HARRIS COMPANY, LIMITED, of 915 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Manufacturers (assignees of Charles McLeod, 915 King Street West, Toronto aforesaid, Manager of Patent Department of Massey-Harris Company, Limited). Improvements in centrifugal-separator bowls.

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates particularly to the construction of the bowl, whereby it may be opened to obtain access to the interior, and to the arrangement of the means for introducing the milk into the bowl and for permitting the outflow of the separated cream and skim-milk. In bowls of the type illustrated the upper part of the bowl is separate from the lower part and usually connected thereto by a union coupling. In the new bowl the coupling is dispensed with, and the upper part of the bowl held in place by a head formed on a short tube, forming a feed-tube, and screwed on a stud projecting from the bottom of the bowl. Openings in the feed-tube communicate with the interior of the milk-distributor, from which the milk flows to the spaces between the usual separating-plates. Skim-milk openings are formed in the sides of the neck of the bowl, and a cream screw or outlet is located in the head. An ordinary funnel is employed dividing the skim-milk from the cream, and this funnel is held down by an annular flange formed on the inside of the neck of the bowl, which engages a similar flange formed on the neck of the funnel.

No. 25681.—10th March, 1909.—THE MASSEY-HARRIS COMPANY, LIMITED, of 915 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Manufacturers (assignees of Charles McLeod, of 915 King Street West, Toronto aforesaid, Manager of Patent Department of Massey-Harris Company, Limited). Improvements in centrifugal-separator bowls.

Extract from Specification.—A construction has been devised in which the cream-outlet of a separator-bowl has been located in a head formed in the milk-feed tube, the milk-feed tube being screwed on a stud formed on the bottom of the bowl and the head engaging the neck of the bowl-cover to secure the cover in place. The object of the present invention is to secure the advantages of the previous construction without the screw connection within the bowl. In the present construction the milk-feed tube is formed integral with the bowl, and a nut is screwed on its upper end, which nut closes the neck of the bowl and has the cream-outlet formed therein.
