| No. Patentee. Title. 527,126 J.Lucas Ltd. and Distributors for the A.Massey-Allen. spark ignition apparatus of internal combustion engines. The invention is for enabling distributions of multi-cylinder engines operating at high altitudes to have their distributors arranged in a small space. For this purpose a group of input electrodes are arranged on a circle, two series of output electrodes are arranged on circles co-axial with the input electrodes at differ- ent distances from the latter. a rotor on the common axis carries two appropriately spaced electrodes of different length each of which con- nects the input electrodes with the output electrodes on one of the circles. 527,149 Houde Engineering Corpora- Heating device for tion. motor cars. A blower circulates the products of combustion through a radiator a fan blows air over the radiator so as to become heated and a single motor drives both blower and fan. 527,197 Bendix Ltd., and H.Burke Lubricating means for flexible cables and the like. The greasing filling is die cast and contains an integral nipple to receive the grease gun. 527,207 Carter Carburetor Carburetters for Corporation. internal com- bustion engines. The invention seeks to prevent gaseous bubbles in the fuel in a carburetter due to excessive heat,causing surging of the engine. The carburetter has an upwardly inclined jet and from the top of it near the orifice a nearly verticle passage way leads out. The bubbles will flow up this and be returned to the float chamber instead of coming out of the jet. | ||
