Title: Improvements in and relating to Electro Pneumatically or Electrically Operated Organ or Multiple Instrument Playing Mechanism and the like.
Inventor: TRIST ARTHUR RONALD
Filed: 1911-07-26
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 17,140. Trist, A. R. July 26. Actions; tune-sheets.-Three musical instruments, or the three manuals of an organ, are operated by electro-pneumatic or electric means controlled by a single tune-sheet, which is of the kind described in Specification 2167/11. The tune-sheet comprises two conducting-layers b, c, which are connected to a battery n by wires f, g and brushes b<1>, c<1>. Insulating layers are placed between the layers b, c and upon both faces of the tune-sheet. A single note-controlling brush e is shown, which is adapted to contact with one of the conducting-layers b, c or the tracker-bar. If the brush e contacts with the layer b, a current passes from the battery n through the wire f, brush b<1>, layer b, brush e, wire m, and electro-magnets i, back to the battery. Permanent magnets are arranged near the electro-magnets. The current passes through the electro magnets in opposite directions. The field of one of the permanent magnets is therefore neutralized while the field of the other is strengthened, so that one of the armatures k is attracted and the corresponding valve l is opened against the action of the weight o'. Air is then admitted to a duct, and a note of one manual or musical instrument is sounded. The armature k may operate directly upon the note-producing device. If the brush e contacts with the layer c, current passes through the electro - magnets i in the opposite direction, and another valve l is operated to sound a note of another manual or musical instrument. Permanently energized electro-magnets may be substituted for the permanent magnets j. If the aperture is punched right through the tune-sheet, the brush e connects together a number of insulated metal strips p in the tracker-bar, so causing current to flow from a battery n<1> through an electro-magnetic device a<2> to sound a note of the third manual or musical instrument. Alternatively, the aperture may admit air to a pneumatic device for sounding a note. The tracker-bar comprises an insulating bar having transverse grooves, which are filled by bundles of contact strips p<1>, p<2> separated by insulation p<3>. A bundle is shown in Fig. 5 in an expanded condition. Alternatively, the tracker-bar may be made of conducting - material and connected to the battery n<1>.
