RECORDING-GAGE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM YoUNe, a 1 citizen of the United States, residing at Uled'i, in the county of Fayette'and State of ennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Recording- Gages; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. I

Thisinvention relates to improvements in recording gages.

The object of the invention is to provide a I gage of this character adapted to be connected to any form of engine or motor, whereb the'location, time and speed of the same will be correctly recorded.

With these and other objects inview, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a side view of a gage constructed in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same; Fig. 3 is a detail sectional side view of a modified form of the gage; Fig. 5 is a top plan view .of the same; and Fig. 6 is a detail view of the recordin finger used in connection with the gage. ig. 7 vis a rear elevation of a part of the device shown in Figs. 4, '5 and 6. Y

Referring more particularly to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawing, 1 denotes a-b ase or support having on itsrear side adjacent to one end, suitable bearings, 2, in which is revbly mounted an operating shaft 3. On the shaft, 3, is a sprocket gear, 4, with which is engaged a sprocket chain, 5, adapted to connect with a movin part of the engine or motor to be gagedj n the shaft, 3, is also Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed August 10,

i the bar. 1

arranged a worm, 6, which engages-a worm gear, 7, fixed on a stub shaft, 8, mounted in the base. The'op osite end of the shaft 8 projects through t e base and has mounted thereon a disk, 9, having on its outer face a spirally formed thread, 10. Slidably mounted on the base, 1, is a finger-operating bar, 12, in one end of. which is formed a longituthe end of the shaft, 8, as

shown, and in which is adjustably secured a pin, 14, the

Inner end of which isv adapted to engage the 1 Patentediazf.26,1909. 190s. Seria1No.447,815.

spiral thread 10 in the disk 9 whereby the movement of the disk is communicated. to the finger-operating bar, 12. The pin '14'is rovided adjacent to its inner endwith a fiead, 15, which engages the inner side of the bar, 12, and on its outer end the pin 'is threaded to receive a clamping nut, 1'6, which is adapted to be screwed up gagement with the outer sidebar, thereby clamping the pin in its ad'usted position on The operating ar, 12, is preferably jointed midway between its ends,- as shown at 17, and the ortion, 18, of the same is reduced and slidab y eng-a ed with hearing brackets, 19, arranged on t e base plate 1. The reduced portion, 18, of the o crating-bar has fixedly connected thereto etween the bearing brackets, 19, a recording arm, 20, 4

other suitable recording device, 21. The recording pencil in the outer end of the finger 20 is operatively engagedwith a recordin dial, 22, which. is divided into annular an radial division lines, said radial lines corres onding to the time divisions of a clock dia while the annular lines are rovided to indicate speed and location. T e dial, 22, is suitably connected to a clock mechanism 22 whereby the dial is operated.

From the foregoing description, it will be seen that as the operating bar. 12 isreciprocated back and forth by its connections with the operating part of the engine or motor, the recording ar carrying the pencil will move the latter back'and forth across the dial, while the same is being revolved. by the clock mechanism so that the lines drawn on the dial by the recording pencil will correctl indicate the time, speed and location of the movements of the en ine or motor.

In Figs. 4 and 5 of t e drawings is shown-a slightly modified arrangement of the operatingmechanism. The gage in this instance is shown as provided with a base, 23, bearings, 24, an o'perating'shaft, 25, having a sprocket gear, 26, and chain, 27, whereby said shaft is operatively connected to an engine or motor. The shaft, 25, is provided with a worm, 28, to engage a worm ear, 29, on a stub shaft, 29, mounted 1n and projecting through the base, 23. On the opposite end of the shaft, 29, is a fixedly mounted disk, 30, which differs from the grooved disk 9 of the first form of gage. The disk 30 has formed therein a radially disposed slot, 30*,

' connected to ether,

with which is engaged a wrist pin, 31, secured to the outer end of an operating bar, 32, whereby'said bar is reciprocated. The bar, 32, is formed in two sections hingedly as at 33 and the ortion, 34, of t e bar is slidabiy mounted in bearing brackets, as shown. The art, 34, of the operating bar, 32, has fixe y connected thereto a recording arm, 36,, which carries a pencil or other suitable recording device adapted to be engaged with a dial, 37, which is operatively connected to a clock mechanism, 38, suitably mounted on the base, 23, of the gage. 0 eration of this recording arm and dial is t e same as described in connection with the other form of gage. o

The slot, 30 in the, disk,-30, provides for the adjustable connection of the outer end of 2 0.

the operatinglbar, whereby the stroke of the latter and t e movement of the recording arm'may be regulated. The slot in the operatin ar 12 oithe first form of gage also provi es for the adiustment ofthe operating pin, 14', whereby t e stroke of the bar 12 is regulated. The recording arms of both forms of the gage are-preferably in the form of a straight bar, 39, plvotally mounted at its inner end in a bearing bracket, 40, secured to the operatin bar. The inner end of the bar, 39, is provi ed with a right-angularly projecting weighted arm, 41,- whereb the pencil on the outer end of the bar is he d in operative engagement with the disk.

A gage constructed as herein shown and described may be connected with any suitable part of an engine or motor, and the speed, time and location of the same accurately recorded on the dial.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the term, proportion and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:

1. In a. age of the character described, a clock, a dia support operatively connected to 35, secured to the base, 23,

The

2. In a gage of the character described, a clock, a dial support operatively connected to the clock, a recordin arm having a recording point to en age a dia on said support, an operatingpsha 't, an operating disk mounted on the shaft and having a spiral thread formed thereon, a stub promotion on said shaft, a slotted operating bar connected to said arm and engaged wit said stub projection on the shaft, a inhaving an adjustable connection with sai bar and adapted to engage the spiral thread on said disk whereby the bar is moved to actuate the recording arm, a driving mechanism connected to said operating disk, and means to connect said driving mechanism to the moving part of an engine or motor.

3. In a gage oi the character described, a base, a clock mounted on said base, a dial support operatively connected to said clock, said support carrying a dial having thereon annular and radially disposed division lines, a recording arm having a recording point to engage said dial, an operating bar slidably mounted on said base and operatively connected to said recording arm, said bar having formed therein a slot, a shaft mounted in said base adapted to enter the slot to guide of said shaft, a spira thread on said disk, a pin adjustably mounted in the slot of said 0 crating bar and adapted to engage the t read on said disk, a worm gear on the opposite end of said disk Sil5.fi3,'2t11d. means to operatively connect said driving shaft with a moving part of an engine or motor, substantialiy as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
