Filed: 1955-02-01
Abstract: 774,152. Applying protective battens to cable and like drums. PACKERS SUPPLY CO., Ltd. Jan. 24, 1956 [Feb. 1, 1955], No. 3015/55. Class 94(1). A device for temporarily holding protective battens in position on the flanges 8 of a cable drum to enable them to be secured by circumferential steel straps or wire, comprises an elastic band 1 provided at its ends with leather strap extensions 3 connectible by a buckle 4, and a spindle 5 carrying rollers 6 arranged to roll on the flanges 8 and a central loose pulley 9 which engages with the interior of the band 1 when the latter is applied to the drum as shown. The rollers 6 may be adjusted axially to suit drums of different widths and the pulley 9 is rotatable between adjustable locating collars 19. The first batten 13 is passed through the gap between the flanges 8 and the inside of the band close to the pulley and placed with its ends resting on the edges of the flanges. The inserted batten is then pushed along the flanges until one of its edges engages the band and preferably nailed in position. The rollers 6 are then rolled a short distance along the flanges to create a gap for the insertion of the next batten 15 in a similar manner and so on until an almost complete set of battens has been applied and held in position by the band 1. At the same time, the drum is rotated intermittently on its spindle 11 supported by jacks 12 or rolled along the ground. The rollers 6 are then caused to ride up on to the first batten 13 to create a space for the insertion of the last batten or battens, notches 17 being formed in their peripheries to facilitate this movement.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical musical instruments
IPC: G10H5/02
Filed: 1945-11-22
Abstract: 613,498. Electrical musical instruments. COMPTON ORGAN CO., Ltd., J., and BOURN, L. E. A. Nov. 22, 1945, No. 3414/48. Divided out of 613,414. [Class 88 (ii)] In an electrical musical instrument the tone generators are arranged in groups, each group corresponding to the partials of one note and having a single output common to all the generators in the group. In the electrostatic instrument described, a separate generator is used for each note and the scanning grid 3, co-operating with a waveform disc 4 providing all the partials of one note, is connected to the control grid of a valve 7 which is normally cut off by a bias battery 13. When a key 40 is depressed to close contacts 41, the valve is rendered conducting by a potential from a battery 27 applied through a swell potentiometer 30. The generators, however, only become effective when polarized by a potential from a battery 43 applied through stop contacts 45 to the appropriate waveform rings. The outputs from the various valves are commoned in groups of similar frequency ranges connected to a common output amplifier 11. The key circuit incorporates a resistance 15 and condenser 17 forming a low-pass filter for the suppression of key clicks and a slower rate of attack. The time of decay may be increased by the addition of a further parallel-connected condenser charged through a rectifier, but made to discharge through a high resistance (Fig. 2, not shown). It is also proposed to introduce a tremulant by coupling the output of an oscillator to the second or third grid of the valve. Specifications 403,444, 433,050, 448,193 and 613,414 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to sound reproducing apparatus
IPC: H02M1/10
Filed: 1951-02-13
Abstract: 693,594. Magazine gramophones. GUEST, L. V., and BIRMINGHAM SOUND REPRODUCERS, Ltd. Feb. 8, 1952 [Feb. 13, 1951], No 3532/51 Class 40 (ii). An automatic gramophone of the kind in which records are stacked on a centre post, has means for automatically locating the reproducer at the start of a record, irrespective of its diameter, comprising a finger 31 and plate 29 which are rocked, by an amount dependent on the diameter of a falling record, so that the lower end of plate 29 engages one of the abutment surfaces 28 of a spring-loaded movable member 26 which has a further set of abutment surfaces 39, 40, 41, arranged for selective engagement with an arm 42 movable with the reproducer arm 3. The reproducer arm is carried on a horizontal pivot 21 mounted on the upper end of a bracket 12 which is free to rotate about a vertical rod 9 which is movable up and down in a fixed bearing 16 for the purpose of lifting the reproducer arm 3 about the pivot 21. When an automatic cycle is initiated 2 member 22, Fig. 2, is moved to the right, as viewed in that figure, whereby a ramp 23 on the said member 22 lifts the rod 3 and the reproducer is raised from the record. At the same time, the bracket 12 is pressed upwards by a spring 17 on the rod 9 but is restrained by the hooked end 48 on arm 42. Further movement of the member 22 causes its end 52 to come into contact with a pin 14 on the bracket 12 and rotate the latter counterclockwise so that the reproducer is swung outwardly across the record. During this rotation the hook 48 enters a recess 47 in the bracket 12 and the arm 42 rotates therewith against the tension of spring 46, the bracket 12 being restricted from further upward movement by a shoulder 15 on the bearing 16. During this operation a member 50 presses the member 26 downwardly until the lower end of plate 29 becomes latched with the uppermost abutment surface 28. When the next record is then released, the finger 31 and plate 29 is moved about pin 30 by an amount depending on the diameter of the record, and the member 26 is moved upwardly by the spring 35 until the lower end of plate 29 engages the appropriate surface 28. As the member 22 is then withdrawn, arm 42, and the bracket 12 locked thereto, is moved by the spring 46 until the appropriate surface 43, 44 or 45 engages the surface 41, 40 or 39, respectively, on the member 26, and the reproducer is then held over the start of the record on the turntable. Further movement of the member 22 allows the rod 9 to descend and the reproducer lowered on to the record, and the lower end of bracket 12 to descend below the hook 48, whereby the reproducer arm 3 is free to traverse the record.
