Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 12,854. Noll, J., and Delmar, E. May 29. Telephone signals, recording. -Relates to phonographic apparatus of the type in which a record is made by a telephone receiver, carrying a recording-tool, in circuit with a transmitter, and consists in providing controlling and signalling means for indicating to the user the conditions existing at the recording-machine. The device is operated by a motor generator 34, the motor part of which drives the phonograph, while the generator supplies current for the telephone and for the signal lamps and electromagnetically-operated clutch for starting the phonograph. The phonograph record 5 is rotated by the motor 34 by means of a belt 35, pulley 36, worm shaft 32, worm-wheel 31, and clutch 37, 38. The recording-stylus 4 attached to the diaphragm 3 is operated by the electromagnets 6 in the sound-box 2, which is carried by an arm 7<a> pivoted at 7 to a sleeve 9 on a guide-bar 10 and integral with an arm 24. This arm is adapted to engage a trigger 22 pivoted at 18 to a cross-bar 21 between the sleeve 9 and another sleeve 20 on a parallel guide bar 15, and release the feed nut 17 from the feed screw 16 simultaneously with lifting the sound-box 2 by the handle 25. When starting the device, the dictator takes the telephone transmitter 1 by grasping the part 60, thereby depressing an insulated contact 74, and causing a signal lamp 62 secured within the transmitter to glow. Simultaneously, an electro-magnet 46 attracts its armature 44 and engages the clutch members 37, 38, starting the phonograph. As the dictator proceeds, the sound - box moves to the right, until, at the end, the sleeve 9 engages a projecting stop 53 attached to a bar within the guide tube 10, and moves an insulator 54 to separate the two contact springs 56, 57; this shunts the current through a visual signal of 100 ohms resistance near the phonograph, whereby the electro-magnet 46 is de-energized, the phonograph is stopped, and the lamp 63 in the 'transmitter is dimmed. The phonograph operator then provides a fresh record, and moves the carriage to its initial position where the sleeve 9 engages another projecting stop 52 and moves the insulator 54 to allow the contact springs 56, 57 to re-engage, whereby the highresistance visual shunt signal is cut-out, the electro-magnet is re-energized, the clutch is reengaged, and the phonograph is started; the lamp 63 on the transmitter glows brightly again, to let the dictator know that he can proceed. Several phonographs may be driven from the one worm shaft 32 if desired.
