Abstract: 14,612. Oulton, G., Ablett, C., and Lightfoot, W. E. July 10. Brakes.-Relates to the gramophone described in Specification No. 11,915, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Glass Electric telegraphs &c.], and consists in providing a sliding carriage having an inclined camsurface to operate a brake lever to produce a constant angular velocity of the turntable. Fig. 1 is an elevation partly in section, and Fig. 2 is a reverse plan of the mechanism, The usual spring motor 3 drives the turntable 6 through gears 9, 10, a shaft 11, bevel-gears 12, 13, and a turntable spindle 14 The governor 4 is driven by a worm 16 from the worm-wheel 15 on the spindle 14 as usual. A carriage 27<a> is traversed on a tube 19 secured in a bracket 20 by a half-nut 32 engaging a feed-screw 21 within the tube 19 and rotated by gear-wheels 27, 26, 25, 22, 10. The half nut 32 is carried by an arm 33 secured to the brake-controlling lever 37, 39, which is pivoted on the carriage 27<a>, a counterweight 36 being attached to the arm 33. A projection 28 from the carriage 27 travelling in a slot in the bracket 20 prevents the carriage from turning. The pivoted brake lever 5 has its free end resting upon the inclined cam-surface 30, and the brake shoe 5<b> is adapted to press varyingly upon the governor disk 17. As the reproduction proceeds and the stylus approaches the middle of the record-disk, the angular velocity of the turntable gradually increases by traversing the carriage 27<a> to the right and thus allowing the brake lever 5 to exert gradually less pressure upon the governor disk 17. The half-nut 32 is disengaged from the feed-screw 21 by a slight turn of the brake-controlling lever 37, and the carriage 27<a> is brought back by the same lever 37 to its initial position, the brake being first applied to stop the motor. The hand-lever 37 is graduated so that the machine may be set for any particular constant speed, by keeping the half-nut 32 disengaged from the feed-screw 21. The tread of the feedscrew 21 eases-off to nothing, to prevent the halfnut 32 from jamming at the end.
