It displays many of the characteristics which make control of these type of aircraft difficult, including strongly nonlinear behavior over a wide range of unsteady operating conditions. In particular, the dynamics vary as a function of forward speed and angle of attack and exhibits both short and long period oscillations. Fig 7 illustrates the experimental setup. Singular perturbation analysis of the equations of motion show that the pitch dynamics are considerably faster than the horizontal and vertical displacements, therefore time scale separation is used in the design of the inner-loop and the guidance laws. The actuators are modeled as second order systems with a natural frequency of 25 rad/sec and 0.8 damping ratio. Control rate limits are 1 rad/sec and position limits are 50 deg for elevator and paddle deflections" |

| "-voltage diagram the effect of a small change of radius is very slight; however, when a curve for a different terminal voltage is constructed the radius and centre must be accurately known, since any approximation in either affects the result directly. The object is, then, to obtain accurately the radius (and centre) of the rotor-heating limit at rated voltage when saturation is considered. The radius for another voltage may then be found by direct proportion as described later in this Section. In Fig. 6 are shown the open and short-circuit characteristics of an alternator (OY and OM respectively). Using a modified form of saturation-corrected vector diagram, the radius of the rotor-heating limit is found first for rated terminal voltage, and then, the same method being used together with the determined value ot rotor-heating limit, another diagram is constructed for the new terminal voltages. Referring to Fig. 6, OA = Vt, the alternator terminal voltage, and OAE is the unsaturated voltage vector diagram at full load BRUCK AND MESSERLE: THE CAPABILITY OF ALTERNATORS 615 and rated power factor.

| "-About the year 1890 the firm of Renault Frhres introduced a construction of change-speed and transmission gear which may justly be said to have revolutionized the design of the transmission mechanism of the modern motor road-vehicle, as at least 90 per cent. of the motor road-vehicles driven by internalcombustion engines at present constructed embody one or other of the features of this gear. Instead of transmitting the power from the gear-box to the road wheels by means of a differential countershaft * See.Appendix, Fig. 1 (page 806). at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from 786 VARIABLE-SPEED GEARS FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEHICLES. DEC. 1916. and chain gearing, the road wheels in the Renault system are mounted on a live differential axle which is coupled to the driven shaft of the gear-box by means of a longitudinally arranged shaft, commonly called a propeller-shaft. The Renault gear not only provided for a direct drive between the driving and driven shafts-which is now considered a sine pub non in all gears of the sliding type, as it materially reduces both friction and noise-but i t also rendered the lay-shafts not only idle but also quiescent during the direct drive", |
| " A further advantage of the Renault construction of gear is that the length of the gearbox can be reduced to a minimum, as there is no necessity for any clearance between the different gears, owing to the wheels of the different trains being entirely out of mesh before and when the sliding element forming the clutch coupling is moved. An example of this gear is given in the Appendix, Fig. 2 (page 807). Daimler Gear.-The advance that has been made in the side meshing type of gearing will best be realized by comparing the original Panhard gearing, Fig. 1 (page 806), with an up-to-date gearing as exemplified in the modern Daimler gear, which is described in the Appendix, Fig. 3 (page 808). The Daimler gear embodies two important features not to be found in the Pmhard construction, namely, the placing of the driving and driven shafts of the gear in axial alignment, and the employment of more than one sliding element. The first of these two features enables the driving and driven shafts to be connected together by a direct couple, so that a through or direct drive from the engine to the transmission gearing can be obtained ; and the other feature enables any desired gear to be obtained without running through any other gear", |
| " 1 and 2 (pages 806-7), it will also be observed that each has an advantage over the other with a corresponding disadvantage. In the former the power on all the speeds is transmitted through one pair of gear-wheels, so that the frictional losses due to the gearing are the same on each speed, while in the latter type the power on one speed is direct, that is without going through any gearing, but on the other speeds the power is transmitted through two pairs of gear-wheels, so that on all speeds other than the direct one there is twice as much frictional loss as in the type of gear illustrated by Fig. 1. This naturally directs attention t o the fact that the direct drive should give the ratio of speed between the at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from 788 VARIABLE-SPEED GEARS FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEHICLES. DEC. 1916. engine and road wheels best suited to each particular vehicle and the work it is called upon to perform. The general practice is to give the direct drive on the top or highest speed, and this is probably the best all-round practice for gears which give only three forward speeds ; but when four forward speeds are provided the direct drive is sometimes on the third speed, the fourth speedwhich in this case is a geared-up one-being only intended to be used under the most favourably running conditions", |
| " Against these drawbacks it has several advantages over the sliding type of gear. For instance, it is practically silent on all speeds, it is less liable to break down or to be damaged through careless handling, and it is not subject to as much wear and tear. It will be seen, therefore, that while the disadvantages are nearly all matters for the manufacturer, the advantages are all on the side of the user. The best known gear of this type giving three forward speeds and a reverse is the Lanchester-Fig. 1 2 (Appendix, page 820)-which has been used continuously and to the exclusion of all other types of gear in the Lanchester cam since 1900. The Ford car may also be cited as an automobile in which the epicyclic type of change-speed gear is exclusively used, and in this w e the increased cost of production of this type of gear certainly at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from 798 VARIABLE-SPEED QEARS FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEHICLES.

If the currents are of the general form both the \"current\" and \"flux\" vectors shrink exponentially as they rotate. The space distribution of the magnetic field is still sinusoidal at all times but its magnitude diminishes as it moves through the air gap. Compare Fig. 13 with Fig. 14.

If the displacement were not great it would seem tha t each pad would be under a positive pressure and the arrangement should be a very stable one. I t is possible tha t a grinding machine spindle bearing of this design would have some interest to machine tool builders.

For all practical purposes the max imum load for a square slipper is obtained with cl = c2. If the bearing is made this way, the pressure diagrams for regions (1) and (2) are the same and the resultant load passes through the step. This is an impor tan t simplification when the results are applied to the journal bearing problem. In applying the foregoing results to a journal bearing, as in Fig. 3, the only change in the pressure equations is to make x = rO. The axial length of the journal bearing is taken as b. The angles subtended by the films of thickness hi and h2 are made equal and this determines the line of action of the resultant force, viz., along a radius through the step.

The housing D is mounted to slide on a frame F (which consists of a pair of transversely arranged superimposed bars), which is pivoted at one end to one of the side members Y of the frame of the chassis and is adapted at the other end to slide in or on a suitable guide G carried by the other member Y of the frame. Means are provided both for operating the frame F for the purpose of pulling the driven disk B out of engagement with the intermediate disk C so as to disengage the driving couple, and to move the housing D carrying FIGS. 18 AND 19.-Diagrams of Cowey Friction Gear. FIB. 18.

I t will be seen that when the axes of the driving shaft and of the driven shaft, and therefore of the disk A and the intermediate and driven disks C and \u20ac3 are cc-axial, the apparatus is simply a direct-driving clutch, and that to obtain the lower speeds and the reverse it is only necessary to move the disks B and C across the face of the disk A so that the rim of the intermediate disk 0 will engage with a portion of the surface of the driving disk which is nearer to its centre, and obviously the nearer the driven disk is moved towards the centre of the driving disk the greater is the effective speed reduction. If the rim of the intermediate disk C is moved beyond the centre of the driving disk the direction of rotation of the driven shaft is changed, which gives the reverse drive.

VARIABLE-SPEED GEARS FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEHICLES. 825 and B is coupled to the clutch-pedal, SO that it c a n be drawn backwards sufficiently to disconnect the engine from the disks by depressing the pedal, a suitable spring being employed to return the housing and keep the disks up t o their work when pressure on the clutch-pedal is removed. Within the housing D at the rear end of the shaft E carrying the intermediate disk C is a helical spring, which operates between the end of tho shaft and the end of the hollow part of the driven shaft W. This spring, when the housing D is drawn back, separates the intermediate disk C from the driven disk, so that when the clutch-pedal is depressed not only is the intermediate disk separated from the driving disk but also from the driven disk, so that there is no rubbing friction whatever between these parts. The effect of the use of the intermediate disk is to provide a complete annular clutch which renders wear a negligible quantity. In this gear all the drives are direct, so that 1055 in transmission is reduced to a minimum and at all speeds is silent. Further, as any gear and the reverse can be easily and rapidly engaged at any engine or car speed, a valuable emergency brake is provided. HALL HYDRAULIC UEAR. In the H d transmission, Fig. 20, three radially arranged pumps A are employed, the plungers Al of which are operated through connecting-rods by a common crank B on the shaft V, which is driven by the prime mover. Three radially arranged motors 0 are also employed, the pistons C1 of which are operated through connectingrods by a crank D on a non-rotating shaft E, which is arranged eccentrically in relation to the driving shaft V. Both the pumps A and the motors C are carried in a common casing F, which is free to rotate about the axis of the driving shaft V and is coupled to the driving toadwheels through suitable gearing. The cylinders of each pair of pumps and motors are connected by ports controlled by valves G and H, the valves G of the pumps being operated by an eccentric J on the driving shaft V, and the valves H of the motors by an eccentric K, which is loosely mounted on and in relation to the driving shaft V and is provided with means whereby it can be rotated through a given arc. The shaft E, although non-rotating, is capable of a limited amount of rotation-through the worm L and the worm-wbeel M -in order to adjust the eccentricity of the crank K. The shaft E carrying the crank D is carried in en eccentric bush or bearing N, the eccentricity of which is equal to the throw of the crank D, so that when the crank is turned so that its greatest throw coincides with the greatest eccentricity of the bush or bearing N the crank wi l l be concentric with the sEaft V, and wi l l then act merely as a &xed axle and impart no movement to the pistons 0' of the motore C as the casing F rotatus.

DEC. 1916. toothed internally and engages a spur-pinion P carried on a shaft Q, which passes centrally through a hole in the shaft E. The shaft Q is provided with suitable means of rotation exterior to the casing F, so that the position of the eccentric L can be altered in relation to the crank D. By this means, in Q manner similar to that of the well-known form of loose eccentric reversal employed in marine engines, the direction of rotation of the casing F can be reversed when required. The whole of the spaces, passages, and cylinders of the casing F are Bled with oil, which is constantly pumped by the pumps A through the valves G and H to the motors C, the capacity of which exceeds that of the pumps. The action of the apparatus is as follows: Upon motion being imparted to the driving shaft V, the pumps A operate to pump oil into the back ends of the cylinders of the motors C, which thereby impart rotary motion t o the casing F, the ratio of speed betweeu the driving shaft and the casing being determined by varying the centre of the crank operating the pistons of the motors with respect to the axis of the driving shaft. When the cylinders of the motors are working t o their full capacity the greatest reduction of speed is obtained, and inversely when they are working at their lowest capacity the highest speed is obtained, the casing F then rotating at the same speed as the driving shaft V.

VARIABLE-BPEED QE&RB FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEHICLES. 827 motor cylinders is four times that of the pump cylinders, when the crank of the motors is in the position to impart the greatest amount of movement to the pistons of the motors,it will take four strokes of the plungers of the pumps to fill the cylinders of the motors with oil, and consequently the shaft V will have rotated four times during the time the pumps have, by filling the motors, caused the casing F to rotate once, but, as in normal working, shaft V and the casing F rotated in the same direction, one revolution of the pump shaft is lost for each revolution of the casing, so that the shaft V is geared down in relation to the casing F in proportion of 5 to 1. As before stated, when the crank D is concentric with the shaft V there is no movement of the pistons of the motors, and consequently the whole apparatus is carried round at the same speed as the shaft V, and the highest speed of rotation is imparted to the casing F. In this condition there is no circulation of the fluid in the apparatus, and except for the connecting-rods of the motors turning upon the crank D and the rods of the valves H moving upon the eccentric, there is no relative movement of the various parts of the mechanism. It will be understood that the two positions of the crank D before described are the two extremes, and that any intermediate position of the crank and consequently variation of the proportions of speed snd power of the whole apparatus can be obtained by rotating the crank D. COMPAYNE HYDBAULIO QEAB. The essential feature of the Compayne transmission is the Hele-Shaw pump, Figs. 21 and 22, which by rea8on of its construction can not only be run at a high speed without vibrations, but has a high degree of efficiency. The construction and action of this pump-which is of the rotary plunger type with a plurality of cylinders-will best be understood by reference to Figs. 23.24, and 25, which ace diagrammatic sections through the pump at right angles to its axis. The cylinders A (of which there are seven in the oonstruction shown) are formed in one block with a sleeve which is mounted on a fixed stub axle B, this sleeve being coupled to a shaft S which is driven by the prime mover. The pistons C IXRY gudgeon-pins D, which pass through slots in the cylinders end engage with slipper pieces E whioh fit in two opposed grooves in a drum F, which is mounted in ball-bearings to rotate in a housing (31. The grooves in the drum F form paths for the gudgeon-pins, and the drum F operates as B floating ring, the action and operation of which in relation to the pistons is that of a series of connecting-rods. The housing (31 is mounted to slide transversely across the casing X in suitable guides. By displacing this housing in the casing X in relation to the stub axle B on either side of its vertical centre line, that is to say, along a horizontal line r o passing through the centre of said axle, the eccentricity of the path of the 3 ~ 2 at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from 828 VARIABLE-SPEED GEARS FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEHIaLE& DEC. 1916. gudgeon-pins with respect to the cylinders can be varied for the purpoge of varying the stroke of the pistons, and therefore the output of the pump as a whole. As the acceleration of the slipper-pieces and pistons above the centre line xx is balanced by the retardation of similar parts below the centre line, all the inertia forces are balanced. The drum F is kept ful l of oil by centrifugal action, and no oil is allowed to accumulate in the casing X, whereby all churning of the oil is avoided. In the stub-axle B, about which the cylinder block revolves, are two ports or groups of ports, H and K, with which ports in the bases of the cylinders A coincide as they revolve, the ports being in communication with similar ports or groups of ports, H1 and K1, at one end of the axle B exterior to the FIQS. 21 AXD 22.-Helc-Shatu Pump. Cmqayne Hydqazilic Gear. FIG. 21. FIG. 22. X casing X by m a n s of suitable passages. When the block of cylinders revolves, the floating ring F revolves with it, as the resistance of the slipperpieces E is greater than that of the ball-bearings carrying it. In the central position the slipper-pieoes have no movement, and in any other positions they only move to and fro to an extent directly proportiond to the stroke of the pistons. If the cylinders are rotated in the direction of the =rows, and the path of the gudgeon-pins is concentric with the axle B, a8 in Fig. 23, no motion is imparted to the pistons, and therefore the pump is inoperative. If the path of the gudgeon-pins is moved to the left, as shown in Fig. 24, the pistons as they move above the centre line ex move outwardly, and therefore tend to create a vacuum, so that thB oil is forced into the cylinders either by atmospheric pressure or by an artificial pressure in a supply-tank through the ports H1 and H, while the pistons as they move below the centre line at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from bso. 1916.

If the path of the gudgeon-pine is moved to the right, 88 shown in Fig. 25, the pistons move outwardly when moving below the centre line m, and inwardly when moving above the line, so that the flow of the oil is reversed without altering the direction of rotation of the cylinders, the ports Kl and K becoming the suction ports and the ports H and H1 the deliveryports. In moving from the position of maximum delivery on one side to that on the other side, the dicharge is gradually reduced until the central position is resched, when the delivery ceases, after which it again increases to the maximum with the flow in the opposite direction, the change from full forward to fu l l reverse discharge being made without shock, the flow FIGS. 25 TO 25.-Diag~ams of Hek-Shaw Pump.

The hydraulic motor, Figs. 26 and 27, is of a simiiar construction to the pump, but is of the constant-stroke type and works inversely. The novel feature of the motor is the employment of a cam as a track for rollers carried by the gudgeon-pins. Two motors are u~ually employed, arranged either one in each road wheel or both mounted on the chassis and each driving one of the road wheels by means of chain or other gearing. The gudgeon-pins D carried by the pistons 0 carry ball-bearing rollers M at their ends, which travel within a double cam N formed in or carried by the casing Y. Owing to the shape of the cam, the pistons mnke two strokes per revolution. This gives a complete balance of the working parts, an absolute and uniform turning movement, and obviates any ehock in the system. By arranging the cam and the valve shaft so that they can both rotate a t relatively different speeds, and making the cam of a corrugated or wavy form, single revolution of the motor can be obtained from any desired number of strokes of the at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from 830 VARIABLE-SPEED QEARS FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEBICLES.

T h i enables a very great turning effort to be seoured without unduly increasing the proportions of the motor. PIEPER ELECTRIC SYSTEN. In the Pieper, or Auto-Mixte, system, which is practically the same as the earlier British system of Farrow, a shunt-wound dynamo is mounted on a shaft which couples the engine with the road wheels through a magnetic clutch and suitable transmission gearing. The dynamo is connected through a controller with a battery of accumulators, a d works either as a motor or a dynamo, according as its E.M.F. is inferior or superior to that of the battery. The dynamo is fitted with commutating poles, the windings of which are connected in series with the armature, thus ensuring good commutation with heavy currents and with a weak main field. The battery, although primarily employed for assisting in propulsion, can also be used for startiig the engine and for ignition purposes. The supply of explosive mixture to the engine is controlled by the demand for current from the accumulators through a differentially wound solenoid, so that during starting and the period of extra effort the discharging current traversing its series-winding deoreases the magnetism produced by the shunt-winding, which in turn increases the supply of mixture, and thus compels the engine to give its maximum power for a at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from DEC. 1916. VARIABLE-SP\u2019GED UEARS FOR NOTOR ROAD-VEHICLES. 831 given number of revolutions per minute. When the dynamo is charging the cells, the action of the series-winding assists that of the shunt-winding and tends to close the throttle. When the power of the engine is below that required, the battery automatically supplies energy to the dynamo, which then operates as a motor. When the power of the engine is in excess of that required for traction, or when the kinetic energy of the car can be recuperated, that is, when the car is slowing down or is running on a down-gradient, the dynamo works automatically as a generator and charges the battery. When the vehicle is on an up-gradient, and the torque on the road wheels becomes greater than the turning moment of the engine, the speed of the latter diminishes and the voltage of the dynamo fallsuntil it becomes less than that of the battery. The battery then discharges into the dynamo, and thus produces torque, which assists that of the engine until it balances the resisting torque of the engine. i)n a down-gradient, if the resisting couple ie less than the turning moment of the engine, the speed of the latter tends to increase, and the voltage of the battery rises so that the dynamo begins to charge the battery. As this charging current passes through the regulator the rate of admission of mixture to the engine is reduced to a minimum, and the torque of the engine becomes zero. STEVENS ELECTRIC SYSTEM. In the Stevens system a shunt-wound generator of the inter-polar type producing a continuous current is driven directly by the engine, and a serieswound electric motor is coupled to the transmission shaft of the vehicle, a controller box, and a shunt resistance for the generator fields being provided. The generator, which is capable of an output of from 1 to 36 kilowatts a t a speed varying from 350 to 1,400 revolutions per minute a t a voltage varying from 0 to 300, is designed with a falling characteristic, so that any increase in the demand for current when the engine is fully loaded is accompanied by a corresponding reduction in voltage. The output in kilowatts a t any speed is proportional to the power exerted by the engine, but the volts and amperes vary over a large range, according to the gradient of the soad, the speed, or the degree of acceleration required. The amperes required by the serieswound motor are approximately proportional to the torque on the transmission shaft, and the speed of the motor is to a smaller degree proportional to the voltage of the supply. Consequently, when the vehicle is running on a level road the demand for current is small, but ou up-gradients it increases with a corresponding decrease in voltage, which results in a slower speed with increased torque. This change takes place automatically. The excitation of the generator ceases automatically when the engine speed falls below 250 revolutions per minute. at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from 832 VARIABLE-SPEED QEARS FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEHICLES. Dw. 1916. In ordinary running on the level, or on slight up-gradients, the speed of the vehicle is entirely regulated by controlling the speed of the engine by means of the usual gas throttle-valve ; but on stiff up-gradients, heavy roads, under other conditions requiring greater power, the shunt resistance is employed to allow of increased engine speed. The controller has three positions-forward, neutral, and reverse. As the generator ceases to excite a t 250 revolutions per minute of the engine, no electrical circuits are required to be made or broken in driving, even when stopping in traffic, as by reducing the speed of the engine to 250 revolutions per minute, or less, by means of the throttle-valve, the generation of current is stopped, and therefore no power is transmitted to the road wheels. Owing to the inter-polar construction of the generator, sparkless commutation is ensured, and as the msin circuit is never broken during driving, no sparking occurs at the contacts. A t starting, the electric motor demands a large current to develop the necessary torque for starting, which the dynamo supplies a t a low voltage, and 88 the motor speeds up, it automatically demands less current, which is supplied by the generator at an increased voltage. In other words, the voltage of the generator varies in inverse ratio with the amperes output; therefore the power required to drive the motor can never exceed a predetermined maximum, which is arranged to correspond to the maximum power of the engine." |

| " The cutting operation is identical to that of a lathe, but the frequent starting and stopping can be done more conveniently than with the usual lathe. The motor starts nearly instantaneously, and stops in about one second. Construction of the unit is simplified in that no bearing surfaces are required. The apparatus has been in use for about one year without showing any noticeable effect of wear. Mr. W. M. Weddell was partly responsible for the design and construction of this apparatus. The vane shown in Fig. 4 was constructed to provide a continuously variable control of the intensity of the photographed spectra. The vane is used to maintain the density of a standard line at some constant value when a difference in the speed of the photographic plates occurs. The vane has a continuously variable transmission between 50 percent and 100 percent, and affords a method of intensity control which does not depend upon changing source distance, exposure time, or the use of filters and screens. The vane is rotated at 1 revolution per second to avoid any possibility of a stroboscopic effect when used with the interrupted spark. Although calibration was carried out under the actual operating conditions using the vane in order to nullify any possible effect from the intermittancy of the exposure, no evidence for any intermittancy effect in this case has yet been discovered. A layout of the vane is shown in the upper right-hand corner of Fig. 4. To adjust the transmission factor, the vane can be rotated in the collar mounted on the end of the shaft connected to the 60-r.p.m. motor. The apparatus should be used such that the shaft to the motor is parallel to but about two inches lower than the optical axis of the spectrograph. A time-saving system has been constructed to minimize the labor required to operate the spectrograph used on the routine analysis of magnesium alloys. The actual wiring diagram of the system appears to be so closely connected with the particular requirements of this labora- tory that a detailed description would not be justified" |

Thus, if a rotor segment arrives in place in front of the pole piece at each current maximum, the rotor will be turning at synchro nous speed. If segment (a) in Fig. lA is slightly behind the center position when the current is a maximum, a restoring force will be produced which will tend to advance the rotor. This force will increase as the angle of lag increases until the angle is such that sector (b) also comes under the influence of the pole as in Fig. 1e. When this happens, the rotor will fall \"out of step\" and cease to rotate. It is obvious that this type of motor is not self-starting and some means must be used to bring it up to speed.

| "MAGNETOSTRICTIVE materials have been fre quently used in the construction of electro mechanical resonators of various types.1 - 4 Normally, these devices include only two accessible terminals, and are therefore in the nature of impedance elements. However, in some cases there are four accessible terminals, and the magnetostrictive element is used to provide a resonant coupling between an input and an output circuit. I-a Unfortunately, in these latter devices the magnetostrictive coupling is always supplemented by some undesired direct inductive coupling. The purpose of this paper is to show how a magnetostrictive coupling can be achieved between crossed coils by the application of the Wiedemann effect and its converse. By this means the direct inductive coupling is eliminated. 1 W, Van B. Roberts, RCA Rev. 14,3 (1953). 2 H. H. Hall, Proc. Inst. Radio Engrs. 21, 1328 (1933). a G. W. Pierce, Proc. Am. Acad.

A toroidal coil and a solenoidal coil are wound upon a surrounding form to provide input and output windings. For the ideal construction the fields that are produced by currents in each of the windings are everywhere orthogonal, so that there is no direct inductive coupling. In a series of early experiments Wiedemann5,6 showed that a magnetostrictive torque is produced in a ferro magnetic rod which is initially magnetized in the axial direction, and then subjected to a circular component of induction in a right plane of the rod. The converse also applies. Because of this effect, if a ferromagnetic cylinder is subject to an oscillatory driving induction in either the axial or the circular directions, in conjunc tion with a bias induction in the respective orthogonal direction, it will oscillate in torsion at the frequency determined by the driving field. If the driving frequency is an integral multiple of 2Lc, c being the velocity of shear or torsion waves in the cylinder and L its axial length, the cylinder will oscillate in resonance. Further more, if the cylinder is made to vibrate in torsion while it is subject to a bias induction in either the axial or circular directions, then an oscillatory component of the induction will be induced in a direction that is orthogonal to the bias field. It follows from a consideration of these effects that a magnetostrictive coupling between the input and output windings will be obtained if the cylinder is magnetically biased in both the axial and circular direc tions, since an oscillatory component in the axial induction combined with the circular bias will produce a torsional oscillation, which in turn will produce an oscillatory component of induction in the circular direction because of the presence of the axial bias. The resultant magnetic bias in this case has a helical configura tion. It is convenient to represent a two-pole electro mechanical resonator by means of the equivalent circuit 6 J. A.

Because of the similarity of operation of the crossed coil transducer, the two-pole equivalence may be adapted to give the four-pole equivalent circuit shown in Fig. 3. In this representation the arms of the T are the impedances of the input and output windings in the absence of magnetostrictive oscillation. The mutual impedance represents the mechanical vibration, and the electromechanical cou pling through the windings is represented by impedance transformers. These components may be assumed to remain linear for small departures from the resonant frequency. This equivalent representation is confirmed by the first-order theory which is given in the next section." |

| "If one tip of the field pole is more highly saturated than the other, as it usually would be, the magnetic circuit will not be quite symmetrical about its center line. This distortion is probably never very great since most of the reluctance is in the air gap. Its effect would be to introduce sine terms into the series for Aq and cosine terms into the series for C,. The final result would be to produce small quadrature electromotive forces in the armature winding which would otherwise be absent and which are neglected throughout this analysis. APPENDIX III Calculation of Coefficients. The following assumptions in regard to the distribution of flux in the air gap are ccnsidered ideal. They are chosen to represent the actual conditions as nearly as possible and still allow relatively simple calculations to be made. With these assumptions, however, it requires about fifteen pages of close calculation to obtain the desired coefficients. In practise, it may happen that the departure of the actual distributions from these ideal forms may be so great as to warrant new calculations that will more nearly fit the LYON: IIARMONIC ANALYSIS 1511 special case. The flux distributions can also be determined experimentally and the coefficients deduced therefrom. With one ampere-turn acting per field pole the flux distribution in the-air gap is assumed to be sinusoidal, with a maximum value of B1m. See Fig. 18. For the same saturation of the main magnetic circuit with one armature turn carrying one ampere, the flux distributions for different positions of the turn are shown in Figs. 19, 20 and 21. At zero degrees, with the armature coil directly opposite a field pole, the distribution is an inverted sine curve between the poles and coincides with the distribution due to a field ampere-turn under the poles. The maximum value is Bin. At 45 and at 90 degrees, the distribution is also an inverted sine curve between the poles and coincides with the distribution due to a single field ampere-turn under the pores. Taking the maximum value in each of these four cases as B, assumes that the reluctance of the armature core, pole and yoke is negligible compared with that of the air gap and teeth. This is nearly so at low saturation. For operating conditions the" |

The various types of hydraulic transmissions that have been introduced onlyIdiffer from one another in the type of pump and motor employed and in various details of construction and control, and two of them are described in the Appendix, namely, the earliest-the Hall, Fig. 20 (page 826)-and the latest-the Compayne, Figs. 21 to 27 (pages 828-3O)-which is associated with the name of Dr. Hele-Shaw. The practical advantages of the Hele-Shaw system are that the pump has a uniform and steady discharge under all pressures, that sliding friction is reduced to a minimum whereby the total efficiency of the pump is materially increased; that the rotating parts of both pump and motor are perfectly balanced ; that there is no end-thrust in either the pump or the motor owing to all the forces being in the plane of rotation ; that all the parts me simple, and those that require any great degree of accuracy are cylindrical; that there is a minimum of wear on any of the parts; that although high pressures are employed no packing glands are required; that, owing to the rotary form of the valve, the slip of oil past the valves is reduced to a minimum because the oil pressure does not tend to open the valve, and that the inertia forces in both pump and motor are perfectly balanced", |

| " A means of varying the point of application of the friction force appeared to be feasible when the effect of varying the interpole strength of a machine was considered. If the interpole current is increased, the load current tends to concentrate in the leading edge of the brush. Since the wear rate of brushes is higher with current than without, the leading edge would tend to operate at less pres- Shobert II-Carbon-Brush Friction and ChatterJUNiE 1957 273 sure than the trailing edge. This would put line OA in Figs. 1 and 6 in the position shown in Fig. 9(B) and the brushes would not chatter. On the contrary, if the interpole current is decreased, the load current concentrates at the trailing edge of the brush and the pressure under the leading edge is increased. Line OA in Fig. 9(A) is in the chatter range. To prove this, a 25-kw 120-volt d-c generator with radial brushes, as shown in Fig. 9, was operated under these conditions. As predicted, the brushes chattered when the interpole strength was decreased, but did not chatter when the interpole current was normal or increased. This effect is demonstrated on the sound film. The meter in the upper left of the screen represents the variation from normal interpole current. A fullscale deflection to the right represents a 30% decrease in interpole current, and a full-scale deflection to the left represents a 30% increase in interpole current" |

(2.2.2) Salient-Pole Rotor. The construction for the rotor-heating limit of a salient-pole alternator is more complicated than that for a round-rotor machine. It is based on a method described by Walker.6 The construction follows from a 2-reaction vector diagram as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. In Fig. 2 the conventional 2-reaction vector diagram is AGBDA, familiarity with which is assumed. This can be reduced to a form similar to a round-rotor vector diagram by replacing V by Vu where V{ corresponds to the excitation vector based on round-rotor theory, and BC = JSXd ~ xq) i s added at D, as shown, DH being equal to BC. The excitation-voltage vector is HC = DB, and this is produced to cut AD produced at F. A semicircle is then constructed on FD which is equal to Vt(Xd - Xq)/Xg. The excitation vector is represented by the intercept on a ray' from F between the semi- circle on FD and C, the rated power factor on the 1 per-unit current circle" |

The au thor has not done much to resolve this di lemma. A few trials with roughly comparable figures have shown tha t the s tepped bearing has about the same theoretical capacity as a bearing of conventional design. This is not surprising in view of the results of the stepped slipper bearing. Here the load capacity is only slightly more than for the inclined plate slipper bearing if the slipper is square. Another matter of practical concern is how such a bearing is to be made. In the case of the stepped slipper bearing all that is required is two fiat surfaces giving the slight step.

It is possible that it might be scraped to fit a stepped bar which itself might be made by grinding and partial plating. A controlled sand blast might also be used. However, the use of etching seems to offer the best solution to the problem. Undoubtedly this practical matter of how best to get the desired shape is a serious obstacle to the use of the stepped film journal bearing. But it does not seem an insurmountable difficulty and the author has not considered it a sufficient reason for not giving the foregoing results to those who may find them of interest." |

| "tomers' substations the field for the outdoor installations seems to be with the smaller isolated customer, where he has vacant space about his plant. Where the larger installations are made, the outdoor type does not seem so well adapted. Some of the advantages of outdoor installations are: 1. No cost for new buildings. 2. No space required in customer's present buildings. 3. All high tension current kept outside of customer's build ings. Some of the advantages of indoor installations are: 1. More reliable switching equipment can be installed. 2. Better facilities for inspection and repair. 3. Apparatus protected from weather. 4. Switching can be handled more easily by customer. 5. Less danger of accident to public. 6. Safer arrangement of apparatus possible. COMPANY'S SUBSTATIONS Where the operating company generates its power at a large central station, which is usually at a point quite remote from the demand, or where it purchases power from some trans mission company, it is necessary for it to receive current at a much higher voltage than that at which it can distribute to the small light and power consumers, hence, it is obliged to install a substation to transform the power from the trans mission voltage to a lower distributing voltage. The size of this substation, of course, depends upon the character of the district to be served, which may be anything from a small suburban town, having a small demand, to the thickly populated power district having several thousand kilowatts demand. When it has been decided that the time is ripe for a sub station in a certain district, one of the most important and by no means the easiest problem is the selection of a location. Some of the points which should be considered in making a selection are: 1.. Location of the present load. 2. Future development of the district. 3. Distance from existing substations on the system. 4. Outlet from the substation for the various feeders. 5. Street frontage. The above points determine the geographical location for the substation in the district. It is not always best to locat 1914] FULLERTON: SUBSTATIONS 181 in the center of the existing load, as the tendency may be to ward development in one particular direction due to natural conditions in this section. Again the demand may be too close to an existing substation to warrant a second one, therefore, it may be advisable to locate to one side of the present load, and be in a better position to handle the growth outward from the present substations. The outlet from the substation should be given considerable attention; if aerial lines are to be installed, a location such that it is possible to feed in at least two directions should be selected, and a corner lot would be preferable, where the lines could ra diate from the substation in four directions. This means that the pole line from the substation will not be so heavily loaded as if only one outlet were available. Even though it be an underground district, it is quite desirable to have several out lets and save congestion in subways. Substation Buildings.\u2014Probably one of the least expensive buildings suitable for substation purposes is that made of structural steel and corrugated iron, but while this building is comparatively low in cost, its life is also comparatively short, and on the whole is not very desirable. A type of building, which compares very favorably in cost with one of steel and corrugated iron, but which has much greater life, is shown in Fig. 6. This building is simply an en largement of the slab transformer vault construction referred to earlier in this paper. It is built up of structural steel on which are'boltedtwo-in.(5-cm.) reinforced concrete slabs of stand ard size; the roof is also made of these slabs, supported by the framework of the building. The concrete roof is covered by a tar paper and gravel roofing. About a six-in. (15.2 cm.) slope to the 12-ft. (3.6 m.) width is allowed. Steel sash, wireglass windows and steel louvres are used. For air supply, a section of concrete is left off one or two of the lower slabs, leaving the expanded metal reinforcing exposed. This allows a free inlet of air and at the same time prevents large objects from entering. Regular l^-in. (3.8 cm.) expanded metal is used in the construction of the slabs. This building compares very favorably in appearance with that of the average garage or out-building which may be found on back streets or alleys, and makes a fireproof construction. It is also portable and can be used to a good advantage at a location from which its removal at some future time may be 182 FULLERTON: SUBSTATIONS [Feb. 25 desired. This building is 12 by 18 ft. (3.6 by 5.4 m.) and 15 f t . (4.5 m.) high. In it are installed three 250-kw. transformers serving four 2200-volt feeders. Where a better type of building is required, brick or stone is usually used in the construction and as elaborate a design as is desired can be utilized. By the use of rock faced brick and sawed s t o n C ; a building very pleasing in appearance can be constructed at a reasonable cost. The cost of buildings, or their equivalents, for substation purposes varies so widely, due to location and cost of labor, that it is impossible to give an estimate that would meet all conditions; however, I am giving a relative value to the various types, taking as a unit the least expensive installation-that with the outdoor apparatus installed on a concrete platform and enclosed by a fence.

Substation Installations. Like the buildings, the electrical installation has a very wide range of possible combinations.> The outdoor substation is the cheapest, especially where no switching or regulating apparatus is required. However, it does not seem particularly w e\u0302ll suited for installations where there is small apparatus such as instruments, oil switches, feeder regulators, etc., which should be housed. Of course, it would be possible to put the transformers and high-tension apparatus on the outside, erecting a building for the housing of the low-tension apparatus. Installations of this type have been made and work out very nicely for the small demands, but the present designs for outdoor switching apparatus for 10,000 and 20,000 volts are not such as to allow of very large installations being made along these lines. It frequently happens that a transmission line may pass by a small hamlet or power customer from which a small revenue can be procured and still the income will not justify making a very expensive substation installation. This class of business can be taken care of by an outdoor substation. By an in stallation of this kind the town is furnished with electric light, which it may very much desire, and the operating company receives a small revenue from a district which would not allow 1914] FULLERTON: SUBSTATIONS 183 of the installation of a regular substation building and appar atus. Fig.. 7 shows an installation of this type. The trans formers are mounted on a tower construction some feet above the ground. Pole top switches, fuses, etc., are used, no reg ulators or switches being installed on the low-tension side. If regulators are necessary, the outdoor pole type can be used. Diagram A, Fig. 15, shows the wiring of this installation. The apparatus is connected to the transmission line through a switch and fuse; a choke coil and ground horn being inserted between the switch and fuse. Diagram C shows the wiring of the installation made in the concrete slab building shown in Fig. 6. The transformers are protected by high-tension fused circuit breakers which also act as disconnecting switches for the incoming transmission lines, the transformers being connected direct to the high-ten sion bus. On the low-tension side each circuit is controlled by an oil switch and fuse. Lightning arresters are mounted on the poles outside the building. Neither of the above installations can really be said to have a high-tension switchboard. This is scarcely necessary where the substation is small and is fed by only one or two trans mission lines. Where the substation is important enough to have feeders from separate power houses, or where it is used as a switching station for high-tension lines, it is necessary to install some type of high-tension switchboard. The simplest and probably the cheapest installation that can really be called a switchboard is the open wire type. Fig. 8 shows a fair example of this type of construction. The oil switches are mounted in concrete cells, while the busbars, dis connecting switches, etc., are mounted on framework above the switch structure. The spacings of the wires are kept at 12 in. (30.4 cm.) or better for opposite polarities. Cambricinsulated flameproof wire is used throughout. Disconnect ing switches are installed on both the high-tension and lowtension sides of the transformers, so that one transformer can be disconnected without interfering with the service. Where open wiring is used, it is always painted a standard color, such as red for 11,000 volts, drab for 2200 volts and white for 110 volts, and this arrangement of colors is adhered to through out the system. Diagram B, Fig. 15, shows the wiring of a layout of this type. Both incoming and outgoing lines feed through oil circuit 184 FULLERTON: SUBSTATIONS [Feb. 25 breakers to the high-tension bus. Disconnecting switches are always installed on each side of the oil breakers. In this arrangement all wires arc separated by barriers of some description; soapstone, slate, concrete, ebony wood are some of the materials generally used. I will touch only on the use of concrete. This is probably the cheapest and gives a grounded surface for mounting the equipment, thus depending entirely upon the insulation of the apparatus. When the cell structure is referred to, we usually think of something quite massive, but it is sometimes desirable to erect a cell structure and at the same time economize floor space.

To the right in the figure, the 2200-volt feeder switchboard, built in a double deck arrangement, is shown. On the roof of the station are the outdoor electrolytic light ning arresters. A ladder is pro\u039b\u03acded at the end of the build ing for use in getting to the roof to operate the arrester equipment. Diagram Fig. 15, shows the wiring of this station. The 186 FULLERTON: SUBSTATIONS (Feb. 25 lines feed in through oil switches to selector type disconnect ing switches, and thence to each of the buses. One bus is sectionalized so that some of the lines ordinarily feed through to other substations entirely independent of the load in this station. Figure 11 shows the inside view of this station, with the high-tension concrete structure to the left and the 2200-volt incandescent feeder switchboard to the right. In the c o n v S t r u c - tion of this feeder switchboard, remote control oil switches were used, which means all 2200-volt apparatus was kept away from the switchboard panels. Automatic voltage regulators were used on each feeder. A more elaborate concrete structure is that shown in Figs. 12 and 13. Fig. 12 shows the front view of the concrete struc ture and Fig. 13 the section of a double bus switchboard. All circuits are connected to each bus through remote control oil circuit breakers. The insulators supporting the bus also make connection between the bus and the connections to the disconnecting switches. The switchboard panel is directly in front of each high-tension panel, thus allowing the use of hand-operated oil circuit breakers. In the structure, notice the location of the oil switch at the bottom. This is made possible by the use of single-conductor lead cable clamped to the concrete and connecting the upper disconnecting switch with the oil circuit breaker. The hori zontal barriers between buses are hung from the center web of the vStructure without any supporting p O v S t s at the outer edge. This allows of ready access to the buses. Space was also particularly valuable in this case, as is indicated by the posi tion of the roof truss. Provision is made for adding larger switches in series with the present ones on the main floor at some future time. This switchboard serves not only for substation purposes, but is a distribution board for high-tension circuits to other substations. Diagram E, Fig. 15, shows the wiring of this switchboard. All circuits are double-throw on either bus. The buses are sectionaHzed by disconnecting switches to allow of greater flex ibility in switching. The transmission lines can be operated in multiple or separately, each one feeding its own section of load. By operating separately, trouble on one section will not generally affect the other parts of the system. 1 9 1 4 ] FULLERTON: SUBSTATIONS 187 I cannot pass tlie subject of concrete cell structure without a few words regarding the method of construction. The usual method of building these cell structures is by erecting forms and pouring the concrete, using reinforcing rods where neces sary. Owing to the difficulty of securing a uniform and smooth B A S E M E N T F I G . 1 3 job, we have digressed a little from the usual method and are building an expanded metal frameworli and plastering the con crete body onto it. The thickest portions plastered are three inches. The scratch coat contains a small quantity of hair, the remaining coats being pure cement and sand. The finishing 1 8 8 FULLERTON: SUBSTATIONS [Feb. 2 5 coat is of Keen cement, which gives a hard, white, smooth surface. In the finishing coat, a small quantity of lime is used to make the cement work more smooth. expanded metal being wired to this skeleton framework. Where the structure is built as in Fig. U , the reinforcing is keyed in to the main wall.

I t will be seen that when the axes of the driving shaft and of the driven shaft, and therefore of the disk A and the intermediate and driven disks C and \u20ac3 are cc-axial, the apparatus is simply a direct-driving clutch, and that to obtain the lower speeds and the reverse it is only necessary to move the disks B and C across the face of the disk A so that the rim of the intermediate disk 0 will engage with a portion of the surface of the driving disk which is nearer to its centre, and obviously the nearer the driven disk is moved towards the centre of the driving disk the greater is the effective speed reduction. If the rim of the intermediate disk C is moved beyond the centre of the driving disk the direction of rotation of the driven shaft is changed, which gives the reverse drive.

Within the housing D at the rear end of the shaft E carrying the intermediate disk C is a helical spring, which operates between the end of tho shaft and the end of the hollow part of the driven shaft W. This spring, when the housing D is drawn back, separates the intermediate disk C from the driven disk, so that when the clutch-pedal is depressed not only is the intermediate disk separated from the driving disk but also from the driven disk, so that there is no rubbing friction whatever between these parts. The effect of the use of the intermediate disk is to provide a complete annular clutch which renders wear a negligible quantity. In this gear all the drives are direct, so that 1055 in transmission is reduced to a minimum and at all speeds is silent. Further, as any gear and the reverse can be easily and rapidly engaged at any engine or car speed, a valuable emergency brake is provided. HALL HYDRAULIC UEAR. In the H d transmission, Fig. 20, three radially arranged pumps A are employed, the plungers Al of which are operated through connecting-rods by a common crank B on the shaft V, which is driven by the prime mover. Three radially arranged motors 0 are also employed, the pistons C1 of which are operated through connectingrods by a crank D on a non-rotating shaft E, which is arranged eccentrically in relation to the driving shaft V. Both the pumps A and the motors C are carried in a common casing F, which is free to rotate about the axis of the driving shaft V and is coupled to the driving toadwheels through suitable gearing. The cylinders of each pair of pumps and motors are connected by ports controlled by valves G and H, the valves G of the pumps being operated by an eccentric J on the driving shaft V, and the valves H of the motors by an eccentric K, which is loosely mounted on and in relation to the driving shaft V and is provided with means whereby it can be rotated through a given arc. The shaft E, although non-rotating, is capable of a limited amount of rotation-through the worm L and the worm-wbeel M -in order to adjust the eccentricity of the crank K. The shaft E carrying the crank D is carried in en eccentric bush or bearing N, the eccentricity of which is equal to the throw of the crank D, so that when the crank is turned so that its greatest throw coincides with the greatest eccentricity of the bush or bearing N the crank wi l l be concentric with the sEaft V, and wi l l then act merely as a &xed axle and impart no movement to the pistons 0' of the motore C as the casing F rotatus. The eocentric K on the driving shaft V, which operates the valves H of the motors, has an extension 0 which is 3 L at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from 826 VARIABLE-SPEED QEARS FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEHIULES. DEC. 1916. toothed internally and engages a spur-pinion P carried on a shaft Q, which passes centrally through a hole in the shaft E. The shaft Q is provided with suitable means of rotation exterior to the casing F, so that the position of the eccentric L can be altered in relation to the crank D. By this means, in Q manner similar to that of the well-known form of loose eccentric reversal employed in marine engines, the direction of rotation of the casing F can be reversed when required. The whole of the spaces, passages, and cylinders of the casing F are Bled with oil, which is constantly pumped by the pumps A through the valves G and H to the motors C, the capacity of which exceeds that of the pumps. The action of the apparatus is as follows: Upon motion being imparted to the driving shaft V, the pumps A operate to pump oil into the back ends of the cylinders of the motors C, which thereby impart rotary motion t o the casing F, the ratio of speed betweeu the driving shaft and the casing being determined by varying the centre of the crank operating the pistons of the motors with respect to the axis of the driving shaft. When the cylinders of the motors are working t o their full capacity the greatest reduction of speed is obtained, and inversely when they are working at their lowest capacity the highest speed is obtained, the casing F then rotating at the same speed as the driving shaft V. If, as in the construction illustrated, the capaoity of the at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from DEC. 1916. VARIABLE-BPEED QE&RB FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEHICLES. 827 motor cylinders is four times that of the pump cylinders, when the crank of the motors is in the position to impart the greatest amount of movement to the pistons of the motors,it will take four strokes of the plungers of the pumps to fill the cylinders of the motors with oil, and consequently the shaft V will have rotated four times during the time the pumps have, by filling the motors, caused the casing F to rotate once, but, as in normal working, shaft V and the casing F rotated in the same direction, one revolution of the pump shaft is lost for each revolution of the casing, so that the shaft V is geared down in relation to the casing F in proportion of 5 to 1. As before stated, when the crank D is concentric with the shaft V there is no movement of the pistons of the motors, and consequently the whole apparatus is carried round at the same speed as the shaft V, and the highest speed of rotation is imparted to the casing F. In this condition there is no circulation of the fluid in the apparatus, and except for the connecting-rods of the motors turning upon the crank D and the rods of the valves H moving upon the eccentric, there is no relative movement of the various parts of the mechanism. It will be understood that the two positions of the crank D before described are the two extremes, and that any intermediate position of the crank and consequently variation of the proportions of speed snd power of the whole apparatus can be obtained by rotating the crank D. COMPAYNE HYDBAULIO QEAB. The essential feature of the Compayne transmission is the Hele-Shaw pump, Figs. 21 and 22, which by rea8on of its construction can not only be run at a high speed without vibrations, but has a high degree of efficiency. The construction and action of this pump-which is of the rotary plunger type with a plurality of cylinders-will best be understood by reference to Figs. 23.24, and 25, which ace diagrammatic sections through the pump at right angles to its axis. The cylinders A (of which there are seven in the oonstruction shown) are formed in one block with a sleeve which is mounted on a fixed stub axle B, this sleeve being coupled to a shaft S which is driven by the prime mover. The pistons C IXRY gudgeon-pins D, which pass through slots in the cylinders end engage with slipper pieces E whioh fit in two opposed grooves in a drum F, which is mounted in ball-bearings to rotate in a housing (31. The grooves in the drum F form paths for the gudgeon-pins, and the drum F operates as B floating ring, the action and operation of which in relation to the pistons is that of a series of connecting-rods. The housing (31 is mounted to slide transversely across the casing X in suitable guides. By displacing this housing in the casing X in relation to the stub axle B on either side of its vertical centre line, that is to say, along a horizontal line r o passing through the centre of said axle, the eccentricity of the path of the 3 ~ 2 at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from 828 VARIABLE-SPEED GEARS FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEHIaLE& DEC. 1916. gudgeon-pins with respect to the cylinders can be varied for the purpoge of varying the stroke of the pistons, and therefore the output of the pump as a whole. As the acceleration of the slipper-pieces and pistons above the centre line xx is balanced by the retardation of similar parts below the centre line, all the inertia forces are balanced. The drum F is kept ful l of oil by centrifugal action, and no oil is allowed to accumulate in the casing X, whereby all churning of the oil is avoided. In the stub-axle B, about which the cylinder block revolves, are two ports or groups of ports, H and K, with which ports in the bases of the cylinders A coincide as they revolve, the ports being in communication with similar ports or groups of ports, H1 and K1, at one end of the axle B exterior to the FIQS. 21 AXD 22.-Helc-Shatu Pump. Cmqayne Hydqazilic Gear. FIG. 21. FIG. 22. X casing X by m a n s of suitable passages. When the block of cylinders revolves, the floating ring F revolves with it, as the resistance of the slipperpieces E is greater than that of the ball-bearings carrying it. In the central position the slipper-pieoes have no movement, and in any other positions they only move to and fro to an extent directly proportiond to the stroke of the pistons. If the cylinders are rotated in the direction of the =rows, and the path of the gudgeon-pins is concentric with the axle B, a8 in Fig. 23, no motion is imparted to the pistons, and therefore the pump is inoperative. If the path of the gudgeon-pins is moved to the left, as shown in Fig. 24, the pistons as they move above the centre line ex move outwardly, and therefore tend to create a vacuum, so that thB oil is forced into the cylinders either by atmospheric pressure or by an artificial pressure in a supply-tank through the ports H1 and H, while the pistons as they move below the centre line at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from bso. 1916.

If the path of the gudgeon-pine is moved to the right, 88 shown in Fig. 25, the pistons move outwardly when moving below the centre line m, and inwardly when moving above the line, so that the flow of the oil is reversed without altering the direction of rotation of the cylinders, the ports Kl and K becoming the suction ports and the ports H and H1 the deliveryports. In moving from the position of maximum delivery on one side to that on the other side, the dicharge is gradually reduced until the central position is resched, when the delivery ceases, after which it again increases to the maximum with the flow in the opposite direction, the change from full forward to fu l l reverse discharge being made without shock, the flow FIGS. 25 TO 25.-Diag~ams of Hek-Shaw Pump. Convpayne HyarmEic Gear. a t all times being proportional to the eccentricity of the path of the gudgeonpins. The hydraulic motor, Figs. 26 and 27, is of a simiiar construction to the pump, but is of the constant-stroke type and works inversely. The novel feature of the motor is the employment of a cam as a track for rollers carried by the gudgeon-pins. Two motors are u~ually employed, arranged either one in each road wheel or both mounted on the chassis and each driving one of the road wheels by means of chain or other gearing. The gudgeon-pins D carried by the pistons 0 carry ball-bearing rollers M at their ends, which travel within a double cam N formed in or carried by the casing Y. Owing to the shape of the cam, the pistons mnke two strokes per revolution. This gives a complete balance of the working parts, an absolute and uniform turning movement, and obviates any ehock in the system. By arranging the cam and the valve shaft so that they can both rotate a t relatively different speeds, and making the cam of a corrugated or wavy form, single revolution of the motor can be obtained from any desired number of strokes of the at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from 830 VARIABLE-SPEED QEARS FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEBICLES.

T h i enables a very great turning effort to be seoured without unduly increasing the proportions of the motor. PIEPER ELECTRIC SYSTEN. In the Pieper, or Auto-Mixte, system, which is practically the same as the earlier British system of Farrow, a shunt-wound dynamo is mounted on a shaft which couples the engine with the road wheels through a magnetic clutch and suitable transmission gearing. The dynamo is connected through a controller with a battery of accumulators, a d works either as a motor or a dynamo, according as its E.M.F. is inferior or superior to that of the battery. The dynamo is fitted with commutating poles, the windings of which are connected in series with the armature, thus ensuring good commutation with heavy currents and with a weak main field. The battery, although primarily employed for assisting in propulsion, can also be used for startiig the engine and for ignition purposes. The supply of explosive mixture to the engine is controlled by the demand for current from the accumulators through a differentially wound solenoid, so that during starting and the period of extra effort the discharging current traversing its series-winding deoreases the magnetism produced by the shunt-winding, which in turn increases the supply of mixture, and thus compels the engine to give its maximum power for a at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from DEC. 1916. VARIABLE-SP\u2019GED UEARS FOR NOTOR ROAD-VEHICLES. 831 given number of revolutions per minute. When the dynamo is charging the cells, the action of the series-winding assists that of the shunt-winding and tends to close the throttle. When the power of the engine is below that required, the battery automatically supplies energy to the dynamo, which then operates as a motor. When the power of the engine is in excess of that required for traction, or when the kinetic energy of the car can be recuperated, that is, when the car is slowing down or is running on a down-gradient, the dynamo works automatically as a generator and charges the battery. When the vehicle is on an up-gradient, and the torque on the road wheels becomes greater than the turning moment of the engine, the speed of the latter diminishes and the voltage of the dynamo fallsuntil it becomes less than that of the battery. The battery then discharges into the dynamo, and thus produces torque, which assists that of the engine until it balances the resisting torque of the engine. i)n a down-gradient, if the resisting couple ie less than the turning moment of the engine, the speed of the latter tends to increase, and the voltage of the battery rises so that the dynamo begins to charge the battery. As this charging current passes through the regulator the rate of admission of mixture to the engine is reduced to a minimum, and the torque of the engine becomes zero. STEVENS ELECTRIC SYSTEM. In the Stevens system a shunt-wound generator of the inter-polar type producing a continuous current is driven directly by the engine, and a serieswound electric motor is coupled to the transmission shaft of the vehicle, a controller box, and a shunt resistance for the generator fields being provided. The generator, which is capable of an output of from 1 to 36 kilowatts a t a speed varying from 350 to 1,400 revolutions per minute a t a voltage varying from 0 to 300, is designed with a falling characteristic, so that any increase in the demand for current when the engine is fully loaded is accompanied by a corresponding reduction in voltage. The output in kilowatts a t any speed is proportional to the power exerted by the engine, but the volts and amperes vary over a large range, according to the gradient of the soad, the speed, or the degree of acceleration required. The amperes required by the serieswound motor are approximately proportional to the torque on the transmission shaft, and the speed of the motor is to a smaller degree proportional to the voltage of the supply. Consequently, when the vehicle is running on a level road the demand for current is small, but ou up-gradients it increases with a corresponding decrease in voltage, which results in a slower speed with increased torque. This change takes place automatically. The excitation of the generator ceases automatically when the engine speed falls below 250 revolutions per minute. at MCGILL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on June 9, 2016pme.sagepub.comDownloaded from 832 VARIABLE-SPEED QEARS FOR MOTOR ROAD-VEHICLES. Dw. 1916. In ordinary running on the level, or on slight up-gradients, the speed of the vehicle is entirely regulated by controlling the speed of the engine by means of the usual gas throttle-valve ; but on stiff up-gradients, heavy roads, under other conditions requiring greater power, the shunt resistance is employed to allow of increased engine speed. The controller has three positions-forward, neutral, and reverse. As the generator ceases to excite a t 250 revolutions per minute of the engine, no electrical circuits are required to be made or broken in driving, even when stopping in traffic, as by reducing the speed of the engine to 250 revolutions per minute, or less, by means of the throttle-valve, the generation of current is stopped, and therefore no power is transmitted to the road wheels. Owing to the inter-polar construction of the generator, sparkless commutation is ensured, and as the msin circuit is never broken during driving, no sparking occurs at the contacts. A t starting, the electric motor demands a large current to develop the necessary torque for starting, which the dynamo supplies a t a low voltage, and 88 the motor speeds up, it automatically demands less current, which is supplied by the generator at an increased voltage. In other words, the voltage of the generator varies in inverse ratio with the amperes output; therefore the power required to drive the motor can never exceed a predetermined maximum, which is arranged to correspond to the maximum power of the engine." |

| " The practice of running-in with abrasive powder has been avoided, since this expedient cannot possibly result in the teeth flanks following a true involute as is the case on a proper involute generating machine. It has been found from experiments rhat hollows in a tooth flank are enlarged by the use of grinding powders, for the powders seek out the relative quietness of these \u201cpools\u201d during contacts and the so-called runningin. Main arm, 2/1 ratio; final lever, 5/1 ratio; clock gauge divisions equal 0.0001 inch error in pitch. Various methods of checking machine tool and cut gearing have been devised (see Fig. 14), but the pitch bridge gauge made to span single pitches is preferable to the Admiralty standard gauge of bridging several pitches. No method of checking, however, can compensate for errors fundamental to the hobbing machine. As a development of the above-mentioned types, a hobbing machine has been designed with a wormwheel of 93 inches diameter and having 580 teeth. This will give a hobber frequency of 4,850 cycles per second at 500 r.p.m. Further, the internal gears and shaft have all been cut down to a minimum by arranging to cut helical gears without the differential mechanism", |

An overall check was also desirable, and that could be applied by using one of the methods now available for testing the relative angular velocities of moving parts. The method shown in Fig. 14, p. 177 of the paper, was not satisfactory for detecting errors that might cause undulations, because it checked the position of the wheel after each complete turn of the worm, and therefore only measured tooth-to-tooth pitch errors in the wormwheel.

| " It is in this respect that the vector diagrams representing the transient state differ from those that represent the steady state. If the electric circuit is linked with a magnetic circuit in which eddy current and hysteresis losses may occur, it is customary, though strictly speaking it is incorrect, to represent both the current and the magnetic flux by vectors when they have a steady sinusoidal variation. In this case the flux is represented as lagging the current which produces it by a constant angle \u00df. See Fig. 5. This is equivalent to assuming that the hysteresis loop is an ellipse and that the eddy currents are all in time quadrature with the flux in the core.
