Abstract: 2418. Nystr÷m, C. W. Jan. 31. Player - pianos; expression, controlling; tune-sheets. - A device for attachment to a recording player-piano comprises electro-magnetic means for recording and electropneumatic means for reproducing the movements of the pedals. When a pedal such as 13 is depressed, a lever 25, 29 is rotated by the action of a spring 30 until a contactpiece 26 completes the circuit of an electro-magnet E at the contact 27. The electro-magnet attracts its armature U, causing a stylus to cut a groove in a wax tune-sheet or disk. To reproduce the p e d a l movements thus recorded, a pipe 19 is provided for connecting the cylinder 17 to the apparatus shown in Fig. 2. The valve-chamber 31 is normally exhausted by the action of the bellows 34, but when the stylus of the contact device R enters a groove in the tune-sheet, the electromagnet 41 attracts its armature, opening the valve 36 and connecting the upper part of the cylinder 17 to atmosphere. The pressures on each side of the piston 18 are equalized, and the spring 20, which bears against the adjustable stop 15, depresses a rod 16 and plunger 22 carrying a roller 23, which bears against the pedal 13. The apparatus is retained in position by adjusting the distance between the blocks 6, 4, which bear against the key-bed and the floor, and the spring 20 is normally adjusted to balance the spring of the pedal 13. A bellows or diaphragm may be substituted for the cylinder 17 and piston 18, and the apparatus may be arranged to work by pressure instead of by suction.

Abstract: 16,485. Littler, T. July 11. Switches, quick-break.-A quick-break switch has rectilinearly-moving contacts in which the quick - action is produced by a spiral spring which is compressed in opening the switch, but is completely inoperative in closing. In the bottom of the enclosing case is secured a metal tube A. Upon this tube slides a second tube B on which in turn slides a casting or stamping C, which carries, insulated from it, the contacts D. Upon the inside end of the tube B is mounted a flanged washer E, and between this washer and the casting C is arranged a spiral spring F. Above the casting C a washer G with projecting pins H is secured to the top of the tube B. A pivoted lever P operated by a handle engages the pins H and operates the switch. In closing the switch, the tube B is moved downwards and the contacts D brought into engagement with the fixed contacts K; during this movement, the spring F is not strained. In opening the switch, the tube B is moved upwards, carrying with it the washer E and compressing the spring F until the grip of the contacts K is overcome, when the contacts are separated with a quick action. If the spring is insufficiently strong, the movement is initiated by the positive action of the washer E upon the casting C. The weight of the moving parts may be counterbalanced by means of a spring between the lever P and the case.
