No. 29145. — 15th February, 1911. — CECIL GEORGE MCKELLAR, Assoc. Mech. Eng., of Christchurch, New Zealand, Civil Engineer. Improved construction of water-closet basin adapted for use in conjunction with a whirlpool flush.

Claims.—(1.) In a closet-basin adapted to be scoured by means of a whirlpool flush, a ridge formed upon the inner surface of such basin, such ridge projecting from the side thereof at the lower portion and extending downwardly to the bottom of the basin at an angle corresponding in direction with the general tendency of the whirlpool, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

[NOTE.—Here follow two other claims.]

(Specification, 2s. 6d.)

No. 29159. — 22nd February, 1911. — ARTHUR FRANCIS BERRY, of 27 Woodville Road, Ealing, Middlesex, England, Electrical Engineer. Improvements in or relating to electrical transmission and distribution systems.

Claims.—(1.) In transformer arrangements of the kind referred to, the provision of means for discharging to earth current due to lightning or surging in the circuit, substantially as set forth. (2.) A transformer arrangement of the kind referred to, wherein the relay winding and the primary winding of a supplementary transformer, or part thereof, or the relay winding and a controlling winding, or part thereof, are connected in circuit at opposite ends of the primary winding of the main transformer, and there are provided in conjunction with the relay winding and the supplementary winding, or part thereof, or with the relay winding and the controlling winding, or part thereof, electrical discharging-devices, such as sparking-gaps, whereby dangerous high-tension electricity can readily discharge to earth without passing into or through and thus injuring the primary winding of the main transformer.

[NOTE.—Here follow three other claims.]

No. 29166. — 21st February, 1911. — EDWIN PHILLIPS, of 264–268 Flinders Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Patent Attorney (nominee of Heinrich Lange, of 185 Knooperweg, Kiel, Germany, Engineer). Aerial network for wireless telegraphy and telephony.

Extract from Specification.—The present invention relates to an aerial network for wireless telegraphy and telephony. The employment of metallic bands instead of metallic wires in connection with aerial network for wireless telegraphy and telephony is already known. These bands may be of any form, shape, and of any metal. The radiation from the edges of these bands can be prevented by a suitable formation, such as turning down the edges, &c. At the same time the strength is also raised—namely, when wires or strands are inserted in the beading. For producing sufficient strength these cores need not possess any great thickness if they are formed of metal, whereas it is preferable for preventing the radiation from the edges to employ cores of the greatest possible diameter. Now, according to the present invention, the most satisfactory formation of the bands with sufficient strength for the prevention of the radiation from the edge is attained by the employment of cores consisting mainly of a light material such as hemp, or cotton, or the like.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

(Specification, 2s. 9d.)

No. 29189. — 23rd June, 1910.† — GILBERT NORTH, of 19 Moreton Avenue, Stretford, Manchester, England, Electrical Engineer. Improvements in alternating-current electric meters.

Claims.—(1.) Alternating electric-current meter of the induction type in which the magnetic core is provided with a plurality of air-gaps within which the movable member is arranged to rotate, the form of the core and the disposition of the coils thereon being such that the magnetic flux due to the shunt-coil of the meter traverses these air-gaps in parallel, while the flux due to the series-coil of the meter traverses the air-gaps in series, so that the reluctance of the path for the shunt-flux is decreased without decreasing that of the path for the series-flux, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

[NOTE.—Here follow two other claims.]
