Title: Improvements relating to Automatic Stringed Musical Instruments.
Inventor: GABRIELSKY RICHARD
Filed: 1901-05-07
Granted: 1901-08-24
Abstract: 9473. Gabrielsky, R., and Klein, A. May 7. Automatic instruments.-The invention relates to an instrument in which strings 2 are struck by hammers 19 pivoted to the side 4<b> of a frame 4. The hammer-butts 21 are acted on by springs 23 tending to press the beads towards the strings in any position of the instrument, and are also connected by rods 26 to cranked levers 17, which are pivoted to uprights 16. Corresponding to each lever 17 is a star-wheel 5, operated in the ordinary way by a tune-sheet 13, which is supported at one side by discs 9 on the same axis as the star-wheels, and on the other by rollers on a presser-bar. The movements of the star-wheels are steadied by springs which press against them laterally.

Title: Improvements in Electric Clocks.
Filed: 1901-08-02
Granted: 1902-07-03
Abstract: 15,664. Murday, T. J., and Standard Time Co. Aug. 2. Pendulums; regulators.-The variations in the length of the pendulum A which contains a rectangular loop D are compensated by changes in the effective length of the suspension spring C, which are effected by the expansions and contractions of a rod G acting through a lener K with curb pins M. The effect may be adjusted by a screw H at the bottom of the rod. Electric clocks.-A rectangular loop D in the pendulum forms the armature of an electromagnet F, set in the central line of swing, and, when the amplitude of oscillation is sufficiently reduced, a current is sent through it. This occurs because a finger V on the pendulum is drawn over the raised part of a pivoted terminal O, and changes from side to side if the amplitude is sufficient to carry it clear of the edges T, T'. But, when the amplitude is less than this, the finger jams on the terminal, and pushes it down into contact with its fellow O<1>. The bands are driven by the doubleratchet mechanism shown in Fig. 3, each lever L or L<1> being lifted alternately by the pendulum and returning on the ratchet-wheel S. At every half-revolution a current is sent to distant indicators, because a cross-lever R sinks when a notch in the disc D is presented to a tooth N and lowers a hanging block T between a pin on one ratchet lever and a pair of spring contacts. After this lever has pushed the contacts together by the aid of the block, a pin V on the other lever lifts the cross-lever again. The currents operate the distant indicators by electromagnetic ratchets.
