"This placing the wires half a wave length apart causes the system. to send its waves or receive them from mainly one direction, which direction would seem to be that of the plane of the wires. By thus increasing the persistance of the train of Hertzian waves due to each disruptive discharge, the receiving circuit can be caused to be in tune or syntony with the transmitting circuit, thus rendering the system more sensitive and less likely to be interfered with by neighbouring systems differentially disposed. The shortness of the waves enable a parabolic mirror of wire gauze or its equivalent as e in Figure 5 to be placed a short distance behind the vertical wire v, or wires, for the purpose of reflecting the waves in a definite direction.",GB189914449A,1899,0

"Our Improvements in the Art of Block Printing consist principally in the peculiar and novel arrangement or construction of the table to be used by printers of calicoes, muslins, or other woven fabrics or materials adapted to receive impressions from the ordinary printing block, and also in the application of a drying cylinder to the printing table for the purpose of immediately drying the goods after they have received the impressions or color, and before they are rolled upon a drum or winding-on roller attached to the table, and thereby prevent the necessity of conducting the, printed goods over rollers or across the workshop or printing room, which is obliged to be done in the ordinary process of block printing, for the purpose of drying the goods, whereby a considerable saving of time, room, and expence will be effected, and the colours which have been imprinted upon the cloth will be much brighter in effect and considerably improved. Another feature of novelty and improvement is the application of a small temporary table and blanket covered with a piece of waste calico, and placed at the opposite side of the table to that where the workman stands, which small table and waste calico is for the purpose of receiving from the printing block what is usually termed in the trade the ""tip,"" that is, any extra portion of the block which may project over the width of the cloth, as is frequently the case.

The legislature having prohibited the use of furnaces for stationary engines which send forth visible smoke, it is of the highest importance that the best means of raising steam without causing an annoyance by smoke should be known and adopted. And it is equally important that smoke should be consumed in marine furnaces, although this is not yet made compulsory by law; because, in the first place, it is highly essential that vessels engaged in war should be able to manœuvre without being observed and watched by the enemy; and as smoke soils the sails and rigging, many sailors have a great objection to serve in war steamers.",GB185501023A,1855,0

"The object of our invention is to construct an extra top or plate to gas stoves of the required shape and size having lever and crank attachments which connect it with the supply tap and which may be adapted in the construction of new stoves, or may be fitted as an improved addition to existing stoves, the said extra top or plate acting as a self regulator to the supply tap so that when the stove is in use the required gas passes through the supply tap, and when the stove is not in use, only sufficient gas is allowed to pass through the supply tap that will give a small light sufficient to withstand ordinary draughts, the amount of gas in both cases being under control by extra taps or plugs; the said extra top or plate acting automatically as a self regulator to the stove, thus doing away with the trouble of continually turning on and off the supply tap and relighting the burner, as is the case with existing stoves consequently a considerable reduction in the consumption of gas is effected, at the same time greatly reducing the heat engendered by the stove when not in use, which is of great importance where a number of operatives work together in one room. The object of our invention is to construct mechanism, that will automatically control the supply tap of gas stoves, of principally that class which are known as shoemakers or bookbinders finishing stoves, so that when in use the required quantity of gas may pass through the supply tap, but when not in use the tap is turned nearly off, and only enough gas is allowed through it, that will give a small flame light sufficient to withstand ordinary draughts.",GB189409063A,1894,1

The object of this is to supply steam to the running surfaces and insure thorough lubrication and thereby reduce the friction and wear, and also to act as pockets for the collection of any dirt &c.

"This invention relates.to improvements in steam, boilers and it has for its purpose. to improve and simplify the construction thereof and to secure greater economy in the generation of steam, and the various features by which these ends are accomplished will be pointed out hereafter.. It is one of the purposes of this invention to make the velocity of the water flowing in this circuit as great as possible, and this is done by making the headers FG of much larger cross-section than has been customary in water-tube boilers, and securing straight passages from the tubes to the drum D. To further prevent the bulging of the plates pp midway between the braces a a and with the further object of providing an orifice through which to direct a steam-jet to blow soot and ashes from the tops of the tubes, a hollow stay bolt a' (Figures 3 and 4) is preferably inserted directly over each tube, and midway between it anl the tube next above. To purify the water entering the boiler, from sediment and scale and collect such impurities at one point, the rear header G, (Figures 1 11 and 12) extends cousider- ably below the level of the lowest row of tubes and forms a settling-chamber G' in which such sediment as forms in the circulating water is deposited. To secure dry steam from drums of small diameter it has heretofore been customary to take the steam from the steam come or from an upper steam drum, or to run a ""dry pipe"" along one crown of the drum, perforated with holes, the object being to take the steam from the point nearest the top of the steam chamber. While these devices answer fairly well where boilers are worked with pure water at moderate rates; it is one of the purposes of this invention to have the boiler. furnish dry steam at all times, and this is effected by causing the steam in flowing outward to take a circuitous course. The object of this fan is first to furnish power for operating the mechanism to drain the water in the trap back to the main body of water in the boiler; and second any entrained water which has passed the baffle plates will be thrown against the blades of the fan, and then thrown off them by centrifugal force against the walls of the pipe.",GB189418593A,1894,0

My invention relates to an improvement in tooth brushes, nail brushes, flesh brushes, scrubbing brushes, and others with which water is employed, and the improvement has for its object to avoid the sourness and ultimate decay due to fermentative action about the roots of the bristles consequent on the retention of moisture when the brush is put away after use and more especially in the case of a tooth brush to preserve the brush in a sweeter and more sanitary condition.",GB189601151A,1896,0
