Abstract: Antistatic agents for synthetic fibers comprising 5-50 weight percent of a specific type of quaternary ammonium alkyl phosphate containing 1 weight percent or less of by-product alkali metal halides and 50-95 weight percent of alkali metal salt of saturated alkyl phosphate have improved antistatic characteristics both in high and low humidity conditions, reduce the amount of deposits that fall off, yellowing by a heat treatment and generation of rust, and allow good coiling forms to be obtained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound remote control device for controlling the pitch of a variable-pitch propeller on a ship's drive mechanism while at the same time controlling the speed of the ship's engine, and provides a control mechanism for compound control under various control conditions, whereby the conventional equipment being of a complex structure using 2 cams, is simplified by using one cam and a pressure-control valve cooperating therewith. With said control device, control of the speed of the aforesaid engine and the control of the pitch of the variable-pitch propeller are carried out by using air-pressure signals under various control conditions, that is, where the relationship of the various control air pressures in relation to the position of the control lever varies as for example shown in FIG. 1.
