  • Radiographic markers for partial penetration welded joints
    Patent number: 9724785
    Abstract: A weldment member for a gas turbine engine including a forward welding member and an aft welding member. The forward welding member has an annular shape with a forward welding face formed at one end. The forward welding face has a forward radiographic marking hole formed therein. The aft welding member has an annular shape with an aft welding face formed at one end. The aft welding face has an aft radiographic marking hole formed therein. The forward welding face is aligned with the aft welding face and the forward radiographic marking hole is angularly offset from the aft radiographic marking hole.

  • Twin lubrication tank filling system
    Patent number: 8376088
    Abstract: A twin lubrication oil tank filling system with a single oil fill port that prevents overfilling of both a primary oil tank and a secondary oil with a gravity fill system by directing oil primarily into the secondary oil tank by means of a special oil diverter, a float valve for the secondary oil tank that closes when the oil level in the secondary tank reaches a full level to cause additional oil flow to pour into the primary oil tank and a float valve for the primary oil tank that closes when the oil level in the primary tank reaches a full level.
