Abstract: A controlled depth cartridge case chamfering tool and method for use thereof in firearm cartridge loading and reloading operations, which enables the adjustably set repeatedly uniform taper chamfering of the mouth interior of a sized and trimmed cartridge case to provide a consistently uniform radially aligned and squarely disposed truncated conically shaped gradual taper therewithin and thereby allow for a greater ease of insertion and smoothness of seating of a bullet tip during loading or reloading operations without the otherwise inherent hazard of heel and base marring or damage thereto.

Abstract: A controlled depth primer seating tool and method for use thereof in firearm cartridge loading and reloading operations, which enables the accurate measured depth of seating of a primer within the primer pocket of a center fire cartridge case by accommodating both cartridge case plus primer variations so that the measured depth of primer seating provides for a slight pre-load compression of the anvil head of the primer against the explosive compound contained therein whereby firing pin impact energy is thus optimally expended in effecting consistency of primer ignition with a corresponding enhancement of consistent ballistic characteristics from cartridge-to-cartridge and consequent accuracy from round-to-round.

Abstract: A golf ball driving practice apparatus comprised of a rigid framework assembly which supports a conical net into which a player practice drives golf balls off a tee provided in a platform at the open end of the conical net, and being also provided with mechanical provisions for automatic spent golf ball return to the platform position so that upon coin activated dispensing of returned balls a player either commences or continues practice golf ball driving, further wherein the apparatus hereof is suitable for either indoor or outdoor driving range applications as well as use at various convenient golf course locations so that a golfer on the golf course is enabled to practice drive golf balls near a playing tee without the bother or inconvenience of interfering with other players or having to retrieve the balls.

Abstract: A duplex turbine replacement unit to up-grade an obsolete or worn out quad turbine unit and thereby obtain enhanced power plant operational and output efficiencies, while at the same time providing a turbine profile and method of installation wherein the duplex turbine replacement unit hereof conveniently adapts to utilizing the existing draft tube discharge floor holes as originally provided for the replaced quad turbine unit draft tube discharges thereby eliminating the extensive and expensive civil engineering site modification and re-work that would otherwise be necessary with conventional commercially available up-grading replacement turbine units, in addition to also providing a turbine replacement unit having an internally housed and protected wicket gate adjustment mechanism which thereby substantially reduces the hazard of damage thereto by entrained debris in the turbine water.
