Title: Improvements in and relating to Linotype Machines.
Inventor: JOHN RAPHAEL ROGERS
Filed: 1908-02-14
Abstract: 4107. Rogers, J. R. March 1, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Void. [Published under Patents &c. Act, Linotype machines.-In a linotype machine in which the matrices travel upon wires or guides, the matrices are provided with two characters, usually the same letters &c. in different styles, and the guides are adjustable vertically so that either character may tie delivered opposite the mould. The machine is in other respects like that described in Specification No. 14,978, A.D. 1901, or of any other suitable construction. The frame B, provided with the series of endless wires or guides b upon which the matrices are suspended, is pivoted at its upper end on an arm a of the base frame, and has depending legs b<1>, b<2> which rest upon eccentrics d, d<1> secured to a shaft D, so that rotation of the shaft by a handle d<2> causes the frame B to be raised or lowered. By this means, either of the characters c, c<1> in the matrices C may be brought opposite the mould E, the line of matrices being held in alinement by the engagement of a rib G in the notches c<2>, c<3> after its transference from the assembling position. To ensure proper alinement by the rib G, the matrices are pushed upwards by a plate h on a slide H connected to a link o<2>. The latter is operated by a cam-actuated lever, as in the machine previously referred to, or in any other suitable manner. The link o<2> is connected to the slide H by an eccentric o' turning on a stud o<5> on the slide and rotated by a block o<6> connecting it with the shaft D. The block has two grooves at right-angles, in which a terminal rib o<9> on the shaft and a rib o'‹ on the eccentric engage. As the shaft D is turned to raise or lower the frame B, the movement of the slide H by the liuk o<2> is adjusted accordingly. The characters c, c<1> on each matrix are usually the same in different styles, for example, " roman," " bold face " or " black face," "italics," "small caps," &c. Mechanism is provided to prevent the machine from being started when the frame B is in an intermediate position. This may consist of a disk I on the shaft D having notches i, i<1> and a pivoted' lever J. When the frame B is fully up or down, the lever J engages one of the notches and allows the usual starting- lever to be operated. When the frame is in an intermediate position, the lever J passes into a notch in the gear-wheel L, and, being locked, prevents the'lever K from being operated to start the machine.

Title: Improvements in Reed Organs.
Inventor: HAMILTON JAMES BAILLIE
Filed: 1908-08-14
Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 17,136. Hamilton, J. B. Aug. 14. Organs and harmoniums.-In reed organs of the type described in Specification No. 7047, A.D. 1906, a membrane of a soft fleshy substance, such as basil leather, is interposed between the reed and the mouth, this membrane corresponding to the soft palate at the back of the human mouth. The wind-chest comprises successive layers of reed boards 2 containing reed cells 3 and underlying throats 4, and the reeds 6 are inserted as in American organs. The palate box 8, which is hinged to the wall of the wind-chest, carries a throttle valve 9 which controls the aperture of the throat 4, and the lower jaw 10 of the mouth 5 is hinged to the box 8 and carries the soft palate 7. An aperture 18 is provided in the soft palate which is stiffened by means of a strip 12, and a regulating slide or shade 14 is arranged opposite to the aperture. The upper jaw 15 is hinged at 16 to the lower jaw, and may be adjusted by a set-screw 17. The resonating-devices described are preferably built together in a continuous series, the soft palate 7 being also continuous, and the valve 9 and shade 14 are adjusted according to the acoustic properties of a particular building. When the required result has been attained and recorded, the valve and shade may be dispensed with, and the correct aperture obtained by boring or punching to a fixed pattern. For orchestral tones, as shown in the lower part of Fig. 1, the upper jaw and throat may be dispensed with, and the lower jaw is provided with a cover 19 having an aperture 20 and a flap 21 which effects stop-control. These orchestral stops are placed on the underside of the wind-chest, and are controlled by the entrance-valve 22 which operates on the valves 23 of its own or an adjacent wind-chest. This arrangement provides a lever whereby an octave coupler or solo-action can act upon the stickers of an individual stop. In a modification, the soft palate is applied to two or more notes in juxtaposition in the lower part of the scale, so as to obtain a larger vibratory surface, and in the case of more than one stop controlled by one entrance valve the ends are placed in one continuous reed cell and abut against each other. The soft palate may be used with other forms of resonator, such as a cone or pipe. According to the Provisional Specification, the cavities of the wind-chest are closed by a detachable lid, and the wind is admitted by a valve from the trunks, which are preferably fitted with subsidiary reservoirs. The lids which close the stop chests and reservoirs may be hollow or fitted with panels and membranes to develop the particular tones to which they appertain. When a stop chest is shut off from the trunk, vent-holes are set in the action to draw off leakage of wind from adjacent stops. The draw stops which actuate the controlling-valves are connected with mechanism, preferably of the wedge order, which can set the outer mouth of a stop at any required angle so that two or more varieties of tone can be obtained from a single stop.
