Abstract: A submerged arc welding machine in which the edges of plates to be butt welded are supported on a channel fixed on a long rigid foundation beam. The plates are otherwise held on inverted caster wheel assemblies. A long rigid bridge spaced above the beam carries a track on which the arc welding apparatus carriage rides. The plate edge portions are held by vertically movable electromagnets, and the channel forms a magnetic shield so that the magnets do not affect the welding arc. Vertically movable rollers allow the plates to be positioned without interference from the channel. A copper backup bar in the channel has a groove that is filled with flux, and the bar is raised to hold the flux under the weld line. A shoe on the carriage lays flux in the groove when the carriage returns after a welding pass, and a vacuum pickup head cleans the groove for the shoe flux delivery. During the welding pass, the pickup head removes flux on opposite sides of the weld.

Abstract: An electrical connector comprising a metal sleeve having a locking cap rotatably mounted on the sleeve to extend from a mating end, a generally cylindrical, insulating, terminal-locating block receivable as a close fit within the sleeve to locate terminals projecting from the mating end and a retention bush to retain the terminal-locating block in the sleeve. The block is bipartite, each part being generally hemicylindrical and being formed with terminal-receiving recesses at a mating end communicating with a cable-receiving recess at a rear end across which extends a cable-clamping rib, a drain wire-receiving passageway extending radially through the body.

Abstract: A rotational drive assembly including a pair of pinion gears journalled on idler shafts disposed laterally on either side of a drive shaft and meshing with the teeth of a drive gear and a ring gear. The drive shaft is universally journalled for rotation and for permitting a limited range of movement of the drive gear toward and away from the ring gear to substantially equalize tooth contact between the drive gear and each of the pinion gears as the drive shaft is rotated. A slotted bearing may be provided to preclude excess lateral movement of the drive shaft.

Abstract: A linear sensing device containing an electrically conductive reed strip which, in the presence of an external actuating horseshoe magnet, makes electrical contact to a resistive strip at the location of that magnet. The conductive reed strip is attached along one end to a supporting member, formed from a material with coefficient of thermal expansion similar to the reed strip, to prevent warping of the reed strip over a range of environmental temperatures. The sensing device is of a modular construction with elongate cap, to which the resistive strip is attached, and an elongate base, to which the reed strip support member is attached. The cap and base mate together to form an inner container which then slides into an outer container.
