Nikola Tesla Patents
234 astrous consequences and such cases, in which the sure and timely working of the machinery is of paramount importance, may often present themselves in practice, and this consideration has impressed me with the necessity of doing away with the defects in the present devices and procedures and of producing an apparatus which, while being sensitive, will also be most reliable and positive in its action. In the arrangement hereinafter described these defects are overcome in a most satisfactory manner, enabling thousands of successive operations, in all respects alike, being performed by the controlling apparatus without a single irregularity or miss being recorded. For a better understanding of these and other details of the invention as presently carried out, I would now beg to refer to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of a vessel and mechanism within the same. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same showing the interior mechanism in side elevation. Fig. 3 is a plan view, partially diagrammatical, of the vessel, apparatus and circuit connections of the same. Fig. 4 is a plan view on an enlarged scale of a portion of the controlling mechanism. Fig. 5 is an end view of the same. Fig. 6 shows the same mechanism in side elevation. Fig. 7 is a side view of a detail of the mechanism. Fig. 8 is a central sectional view on a larger scale of a sensitive device forming part of the receiving circuit. (10)
