Patent GB-191224676-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Mechanically Operating Musical Instruments.
Inventor: COLDMAN HENRY CHARLES
Filed: 1912-10-28
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 24,676. Coldman, H. C., and Webb, C. F. Oct. 28. [Addition to 14,580/12.] Expression, controlling.-In expression-controlling means of the kind described in the parent Specification, and comprising governor valves adapted for graduated control and arranged between the action and exhaust, both primary and secondary governor-valves are employed, the primary governor-valves controlling the secondary and being controlled by the performer. The secondary governor-valves may control an action of the kind described in Specification 14,030/10. The ports and passages of a number of primary governor-valves d may be formed in a single bar. The valves d are controlled by springs e', which bear against pivotally-connected bars e adapted to be depressed by levers e<3> either at the pivots or the ends. Diaphragms d<2> tend to open or close the valves d according to the variations of suction in the chambers a<3>. The pipe or pipes a<4> is or are connected to exhaust, and the suction in the chamber a<3> therefore varies, according to the compression of the springs e<1>. The variations in suction are transmitted to diaphragms d<2> operating the secondary governorvalves d, by pipes a<6>. The pipes c<2> are connected to exhaust and the pipes c<3> to various sections of the action, so that the loudness of the notes sounded varies according to the extent of depression of the levers e<3>. The secondary governor-valves d are controlled by springs e' of adjustable tension, and bleed-holes c<1> are provided in the chambers beneath the diaphragms d<2>. The primary governor-valves are arranged more compactly than the secondary governor-valves, so that the controlling-levers are readily accessible.
